How to Dress Like Atari Kobayashi from ‘Isle of Dogs’
Hair:
Atari has fuzzy black hair in a short cut which he often covers with his silver space helmet. You can get this hairstyle yourself either by dying and cutting your own hair or wearing a black wig.
Face:
Atari has bruises on one side of his face, freckles under one black eye and very pallid skin. To achieve a similar style, you can use face makeup, eye shadow and concealer cream to get the right appearance.
Outfit:
Atari wears a silver space suit made of thick insulating material with a red pilot logo embroidered on the right side.
Search for red pilot wing patches to sew onto your costume online, or use red acrylic paint to make your own.
Accessories:
Atari wears a silver helmet on his head with a clear screen protecting his eyes and an antenna sticking out on the right side. He also wears a white earpiece and accompanying mouthpiece for making voice commands.
Search shoe shops for a pair of black boots like Atari’s, and finally visit your local toy store or favorite retail website to find a yellow slingshot. Atari always has it on-hand when he’s with his doggy pals.
Man’s Best Friend:
No Atari costume would be complete without a dog at his side! As a brave underdog fighting corruption himself, Atari wants his banished friends to be welcomed back to his dystopic city of Megasaki forever.
Purchase a stuffed toy dog that resembles one of the canine characters on Isle of Dogs like Spots, Nutmeg or Chief to carry with you. You can buy stuffed animals from any toy store or retail website.
Get your friends to dress up as other Isle of Dogs characters like Tracy Walker, Yoko Ono and Kenji Kobayashi so you can bring Isle of Dogs to your next Halloween scene or cosplay event!
