How to dress as Haruka Hoshinogawa

In honor of the series finale of Hirake! Cocotama, it's time to show you how to dress as the series' main character, Haruka Hoshinogawa. In case you never know her, Haruka sets off to an adventure with her Cocotama friends Ribbon, Pillow, and Chaco, among many others, to fulfill the wishes of humans while dealing against the Minus Power phenomenon. Before we say goodbye to Haruka and her Cocotama friends when the series ends tonight, it's time to lay down some simple instructions on how to be Haruka Hoshinogawa.

This may need some parental supervision before dressing as Haruka Hoshinogawa so little girls, ask you mom and dad first.

Haruka Hoshinogawa
  • First, start with the long blond hair and position her ponytail to your left.
  • Haruka's signature ribbon has a petal of a cherry blossom in the middle. With parental help, you can recreate Haruka's trademark ribbon by using a normal pink ribbon, a round thing (button works well) and some pink art paper. Simply draw a cherry blossom petal on the pink art paper, cut it with your scissors, position it on the round object, and place it in the middle of the ribbon.
  • Haruka's costume involves a blue V-shaped suspender skirt, a pink vest with a hood, a white T-shirt (short-sleeve for Summer, long sleeve for Autumn to Spring), and some reddish shoes. If you managed to find every single item in the shopping list, you got what you need to recreate Haruka's costume.
  • Haruka carries the Himitsu no Key alongside her in the TV series and a replica of it is standard when you buy the Ribbon Cocotama doll so be sure to buy one.
  • Optional; to fend off the Minus Power phenomenon that plagued humans, Haruka uses the full power of the Mahou no Tamago item and fortunately, Bandai has a Mahou no Tamago toy so feel free to find one at your nearest toy shops or online.
  • Optional: Haruka is always tagged along with her Cocotama friends so a selection of Cocotama dolls make a nice touch to it. Ribbon, Pillow, and Chaco are highly recommended but you can have any of the Cocotama cast from Hirake! Cocotama such as Ruby, Pantonio, Marume, Ojou, and others! The more, the merrier!
...and there you have it. You have your Haruka Hoshinogawa cosplay and you can really set off to a wish-fulfilling journey with your Cocotama friends while fending off against the Minus Power phenomenon. The Cocotamas will thank you for it.
