Picture of Laios Touden from the anime Delicious in Dungeon, with labels pointing to each part of his armour giving that part its name

The armour of Laios Touden from Delicious in Dungeon. I always love finding a Japanese author who's done their research on armour from another continent and assembled something believable for their medieval-based European characters.

The parts are:

Gorget, protecting the neck

Pauldrons, protecting the shoulder

Cuirass, the plate armour protecting the back and front of the torso above the waist (a breastplate is only the front part of a cuirass)

Vambraces, protecting the lower arm

Faulds, protecting the front between the waist and groin. The equivalent protecting the back side is the culet. I'm assuming these are faulds and culet as they have the horizontal lines that on real armour were segments of plate

Update: This has been confirmed to be a hauberk, as it’s a robe of chainmail! Thank you to @lucky-fy A hauberk or mail skirt (depending on how high on the body it starts from) provides flexible extra protection for the groin and tops of the thighs

Poleyn, protecting the knee

Greaves, protecting the lower leg.
