Preparing for battle isn’t just throwing on whatever’s available and bringing your best spells along with you. It’s making an impact by wearing the most stylish outfits out there or in Ghostwire Tokyo, the slickest fit in Tokyo. Ghostwire’s protagonist Akito Izuki fully understands this, always making appropriate time to wear his best clothes.
Akito’s closet offers a lot to saunter through and the ability to mix and match what shoes, accessories, and shirts you want to pair together. Even though the game plays out in first person, and therefore you’ll only notice these changes during cutscenes, it’s still nice to know you look dashing.
Updated May 26, 2023 by Hilton Webster: A year after its release, Ghostwire Tokyo got the massive Spider's Thread update that added a whole host of new content to the game. However, the game also got plenty of smaller updates coinciding with Japanese holidays, adding plentiful related outfits with each of them. Many of the outfits in the base game were great and varied already, but if you're looking for all of the most stylish outfits in Ghostwire Tokyo to roam the streets that have been added in the past year, this is the place to be. Check out the best Ghostwire Tokyo costumes, clothing, and outfits.
15 Hanasaka Aniki
The Hanasaka Jiisan is an old Japanese folktale of an elderly man who would spread ashes upon old trees, causing them to blossom into Sakura trees in full bloom. This signified great luck and was also just a pretty sight.
So with the Hanasaka Aniki outfit, Akito gets to do just that. Coming with a nice white beard and some classic Japanese clothing, it's the perfect outfit to wear while you purify the Sakura trees spread around Tokyo. It was added in a free update alongside a new emote to really let you embody the old folktale.
14 Feudal Lord And Princess
In depicting Japanese history, the feudal period is one of the most popular to showcase. One such festival that draws its roots from the period is the Hinamatsuri festival, where one would display dolls, from simple paper ones to more intricate ones, in a way that displayed a wedding.
These dolls were rather exaggerated figures, so it only makes sense that they both look frankly absurd on Akito. Added in a free update to celebrate Hinamatsuri, both are intensely regal and over-the-top in their design, from the oversized clothes to the massive heads. Maybe it isn't very serious, but it might make the spirits afraid of you for once.
13 Daikagura Performer
Daikagura is an old form of Japanese performance art involving many intricate acts. Chief amongst them is the act of balancing objects atop an umbrella, an act Akito can perform himself with a newly added emote added alongside the outfit in a free update.
The outfit itself is more formal in a traditional way, with long and flowy waist-high pants and a low-cut blue tunic. It's not as intense as many other outfits, though perhaps it won't stand out so much as others, either.
12 Ouendan Leader
Ouendan in Japan are, in many ways, similar to cheerleading squads in that they are used as rallying and morale boost for sports teams, though they are a tad more focused on catching your attention through bombastic noise rather than action.
Dressed in this costume, Akito is fit to take on the Sports Day-related update with glee. His clothes are light in weight and dark in colour, giving him free movement around the city. The red tied across the outfit just makes it stand out all the more, which is perfectly fitting with the intent.
11 Artist's Suit
It can be easy to forget with how intrinsically Japanese Ghsotwire Tokyo is that Tango Gameworks had previously created The Evil Within, another attempt at making Resident Evil 4. Both Evil Within games are dramatically different, with some wonderfully iconic characters.
One of those is the artful, gory 'artist' Stefano Valentino. If you've ever wanted to dress up Akito in a dashing purple and red suit belonging to a killer, go ahead. You'll be taking out spirits in undeniable style. This was added in a free update and made great fun for the updated Photo Mode.
10 Festival Happi
Dango and mochi are some of the most well-known treats from Japan internationally, though the process for their creation is far from simple. With the Festival Happi outfit, you can channel the energy of the Tsukimi festival to pound out that rice with glee. Emote included.
The Festival Happi is bright and colourful, with a patterned blue top layer decorated with various symbols and some nice shorts to let Akito's legs breathe from all that running around Tokyo. This outfit was added in a free update to celebrate both the wonderful treats and the Tsukimi festival itself.
9 Jinbei
Obon is a Japanese festival dedicated to honouring the spirits of passed family members, typically seen as an excuse to bring the whole family together. Celebrations vary by region and family, but typically lanterns are lit. In Ghostwire Tokyo, it's celebrated with a free update filled with outfits.
The festival usually takes place during the summer months, meaning the country is plenty warm. As such, the Jinbei outfit is simple. Grey cloth lightly laid over the body and openings in the arm for a little more freedom. It's the perfect outfit for a hot summer night and humorously appropriate for helping the rampant spirits of Tokyo to pass on.
8 Tanuki
Known in the West as the Japanese Raccoon Dog, Tanuki is an important animal in traditional Japanese culture. They are typically depicted as mischievous creatures that like to play tricks and even change form altogether, though they are usually a bit too simple-minded to be truly malicious.
Tanuki are pretty major in Ghostwire, hidden across the city in basically every form except as Tanuki. As a reward for finding and reuniting them, they induct you as one of them. They grant you the Tanuki outfit, which is terrifying to look at. It fits in a way, letting Akito shapeshift into a Tanuki.
7 Biker
A Biker outfit sounds better in theory than its visual execution, including a helmet that doesn't look like it fits the rest of the outfit. Though, one of the better things about the Biker style is that you can change the colour of the suit to breathe life into a basic design. Blues, reds, yellows, pinks, or a gold tint are among the options, granting a few ways to alter the look of Akito.
However, it's still the weakest complete outfit in Ghostwire Tokyo. Unlike other clothes options in the game, which present unique ideas and flashy results, the Biker set doesn't do much to set itself apart. Unlike the non-helmet version, this one was only available as a pre-order bonus.
6 Biker, No Helmet
Unlike the Biker set, including a helmet, the one with Akito's face exposed proves to be better. There's no longer the strangeness of the helmet, which looks to belong to a different outfit entirely, making the suit feel whole. It feels fitting for such a cool outfit to only become available during the final mission.
Both Biker versions feature primarily green fabric with black undertones. The gloves are some type of leather, blending into the jacket's sleeves. And from certain angles, it looks like a raincoat turned jumpsuit because of the style of the fabric and the front design. It's interesting how a minor alteration, such as removing the helmet on a suit, can make the overall look much better and how even other outfit elements are elevated.
5 Officer
Spirits walking the streets of Tokyo don't care what you're wearing since it seems clothing doesn't hold as much weight past the veil. While wearing the Officer outfit, it'll feel pretty different from the other ones available to you since it's directly inspired by KK and not Akito.
During cutscenes, it'll make Akito seem like a different person as it's vastly different from the other outfits that are instead focused on making the player look cool. The Officer outfit is heavily inspired by the uniforms Police in Japan wear, with very few liberties taken to change the design. This is acquired after the 'Little Girl Lost' side mission, after doing your civic duty of keeping the citizens safe.
4 Fallout 4 Vault Suit
Games love to mention other games, especially so when it's another name under the developer's belt. Upon completing a side quest titled The Crimson Moon, you'll receive some rewards, including the Fallout 4 Vault suit, so chances are you'll unlock it while playing the game.
The Vault suit is a pitch-perfect replica of the actual suits from Fallout, making Akito appear as though he's the sole survivor of Tokyo when he's prowling the streets with the suit equipped. The Vault suit brings pieces of Sci-Fi into the fantasy-trodden city of Ghostwire Tokyo.
3 Shinobi
The Shinobi outfit is the most interesting of the bunch, as it's the go-to for the stealthy player. Described as being for the modern ninja, Shinobi is fantastic for hiding in the shadows and staying on your guard. Wearing this outfit also alters your bow and arrow, which is perhaps the most intriguing aspect.
Shinobi is a more casually styled look with oversized baggy clothes, orange accents on the chest, and a fishnet pattern on the middle part of the arms. Akito will also wear a black face mask while the suit is equipped. This was part of the game's deluxe edition.
2 Taiko Drummer
With all the stress Akito and KK must endure during the story events, it's a relief to see them wearing something more casual. The Taiko Drummer is a casually styled outfit with long dark red baggy shorts and a gray and black sleeveless shirt above.
Taiko Drummer also includes an accessory atop Akito's head, which is uncommon for most other outfit sets in the game. Even the description makes the outfit an instant stress reliever as it states to be perfect for "letting loose on stage." After solving the series of missions around KK and his gang in 'After The End 3,' you're rewarded with an outfit that asks you to relax a bit.
1 Hannya
Inspired by the character of the same name, the Hannya outfit lets you dress like your greatest foe and look intimidating at the same time. From the moment the first trailer for Ghostwire Tokyo dropped, players knew Hannya's look would stay the most recognizable, so it only makes sense that Akito then gets to don the outfit later down the line.
Hannya consists of an oversized jacket with skin-tight sleeves, long baggy cargo pants, and a white mask with pitiless eyes. On paper, it sounds like the perfect match for someone looking to intimidate others, and its execution does this concept justice. This is another outfit that was only obtainable as part of a pre-order bonus.
