No Face (カオナシ)

No Face is a lonely spirit who follows Chihiro through her journey after her family stumbles upon a mysterious place through a tunnel attempting to find the way to their new house. No Face begins the movie as an obsessive creature who preys on the greediness of the Bath House workers but ends it docile, helping Zeniba at her house and at the end of the film stays with her as an apprentice. I've seen plenty of No Face cosplays, a black dress or sheet would act as the body leaving all you need being a mask painted in his likeness and maybe a giant cold coin like in the photo above from the moment in the film he is handing out the gold.

Calcifer (カルシファー)

Who wouldn't want to be a scary fire demon? Calcifer is a magical spirit from the movie Howl's Moving Castle. Calcifer moves the castle and provides many infamous lines from the movie like 'May all your bacon burn'. Calfcifer could easily be recreated, get yourself looking firey and animated, perhaps uses a mask for Calcifer's very expressive face.

Kiki's Delivery Service ( 魔女の宅急便)

Kiki's Delivery Service could act as an entire film worth of amazing costume ideas but for now we'll stick with the obvious. Kiki is an apprentice witch in the film, strong willed she leaves her parents Okino and Kokiri to travel with her pet cat Jiji for the year. Kiki is a very cute (kawaii) choice for a Halloween costume and a fun spin on the traditional witch. Copy her big eyes, bow and bag and bring along a plush kitty to resemble Jiji. This is a great one for kids, I've seen loads of adorable Kiki costumes online that are well worth a look.

San (サン)

Another fun spin on a classic can come courtesy of San from Princess Mononoke. Instead of a regular wolf/werewolf costume try taking on the child raised by Moro who is determined to save the forest who is unable to forgive the humans for what they have done and chooses to live apart from them and return home to the forest. San takes on many different forms during the movie, try her furry cape and green hair and face smothered with blood or don a mask which you could remove if you desire and wear it on the top of your head like San does during the film.

Catbus (ネコバス)

I know this one might seem slightly far fetched but it's definitely worth a shot if you're more experienced with making cosplay's. Catbus appears on the road waiting for Mei, Satsuke and Totoro who mistake it for their father's bus Catbus' creepy smile could be done in the form of a mask with a catlike bodysuit and a shell in the shape of the bus interior. It's well worth a try, after all how many people will be a creepy cat bus, you could even ignore the bus aspect and just pay loads of attention to detail on the signage etc, creating a cool costume.
