Akane Tendo is the short-tempered martial artist of the Tendo Dojo and Ranma's reluctant fiancée in Rumiko Takahashi's Ranma 1/2. At Furinkan High she wears a blue pinafore dress over a white blouse, with a bow at the collar and a matching bow in her hair, and this CZ2087 set recreates that uniform for cosplay.
What Ships in the Akane Tendo Full Set
The listing is sold as one bundle rather than separate pieces, so everything below arrives together:
- The blue pinafore dress
- The white blouse worn underneath it
- A bow at the collar
- A matching hair bow
The box stops at those four pieces, which means a wig and the right footwear are left for you to track down before the Furinkan look comes together.
Eight Views of the Pinafore and Blouse
The product page doesn't stop at one front photo. Separate images cover the front, a front-side angle, a straight side view and the back, so you can see how the pinafore sits from every direction. Another photo lays out the whole bundle—the dress, the blouse and both bows—together in one shot. Three more move in for close-ups: one on the collar and the bow at the back of the neckline, one on the neckline details from the front, and one on the zip near the sleeve, so the smaller finishing touches aren't left to guesswork.
Five Size Labels for One Women's Cut
The Akane Tendo Full Set is offered in five size labels, S through XXL, as a single women's cut rather than separate kids or men's versions.
The dress and blouse are made from a polyester and spandex blend.
On this listing, the height, bust and sleeve figures describe you as the wearer, while the shoulder-width number comes from the dress itself rather than a body measurement.
This style sits in HQCosplay's adult costume lineup as the one Akane Tendo option.
Adding Your Own Wig and Shoes
Since the wig, socks and shoes stay out of the box, choosing them shapes the rest of the look. The product notes suggest a short wig in a dark blue-black shade, which also sets up the Ranma pairing below. The same wig works whether you're shooting Akane alone or alongside Ranma, so it's worth sorting out before the rest of the outfit arrives.
Pairing Akane With Ranma for a Photo Set
Akane's reluctant engagement to Ranma makes a two-person photo set an easy choice for this costume. Add a short dark blue-black wig on the Akane side, and have whoever plays opposite her wear a red Chinese shirt for the Ranma half of the pairing. The gallery's front, side and back shots of the dress are useful references when you're working out poses for the pair ahead of a shoot.
Because the set ships as one bundle, the blouse and both bows that arrive are fixed to what the front, side, back and detail photos already show. The bow at the collar and the hair bow both get their own close-up shots rather than appearing only in the wide front photo, so you can check their shape before it arrives. The size label is really the only choice left to make, picked from the five options the Akane Tendo Full Set comes in.
