ABOUT TOM NOOK:
Tom Nook is portrayed as a tanuki (raccoon dog) although his exact species is left somewhat ambiguous. As a savvy businessman, Tom is the owner of the town’s general store and, in later installments of Animal Crossing, a retail mogul with his own successful agency.
He provides the player with their first home upon starting the game and even a generous loan to help get set up. As the player finds their feet so too does Tom Nook, expanding his inventory and land acquisitions. Good to see our hard-earned bells are going to good use, ey Nook?
1. TOM NOOK SHIRT – This is a quality cosplay shirt and the perfect place to start this super easy cosplay. Size runs a little large so don’t worry about ordering a size up.
2. SHORTS – Add a pair of khaki shorts or 3/4 length for that laidback castaway vibe.
3. HAT – Next, an adorable Tom Nook hat really ties this whole costume together. Alternatively, you could simply paint on Tom’s raccoon mask with some black face paint.
4. BAG – Being a property mogul comes with its perks. You are going to need somewhere to keep all those millions of bells safe.
5. TAIL – Finally, add a fur tail and you’re ready to start wheeling and dealing like a furry boss!
Animal Crossing is a classic lighthearted and fun Nintendo game that’s accessible to everyone, even those who don’t typically play video games.
