Nezuko Kamado — Standard Demon Nezuko

The look

This is Nezuko's signature Demon Slayer appearance: pink patterned kimono, dark-brown haori, red-and-white obi, pink-strapped zōri, white tabi and green bamboo muzzle. Official Demon Slayer material identifies Nezuko as Tanjiro's younger sister who was transformed into a demon and specifically shows her staying inside Tanjiro's wooden box during daylight. Bandai's official Nezuko product also identifies the pink kimono, haori, tabi sandals and green bamboo mouth covering as core elements of her recognizable design.

Base costume

1. 01Light Pink Asanoha Kimono — The hemp-leaf pattern should be clearly visible.
2. 02White Under-Kimono
3. 03Red-and-White Checkered Obi — This creates the distinctive waist pattern.
4. 04Orange Obijime / Green Obiage
5. 05Dark-Brown Haori — The haori should fall well below the waist and approach the calves.
6. 06White Tabi Socks
7. 07Pink-Strapped Zōri
8. 08Black Kyahan / Leg Wrappings
9. 09Green Bamboo Muzzle — One of the most recognizable pieces of Nezuko's standard demon design.

Character details

The costume should have a traditional Japanese silhouette rather than looking like a generic anime kimono costume.

Hair / face / makeup

• HAIR: Long black hair transitioning to orange near the ends.
• EYES: Large pink eyes.
• TEETH: Optional subtle fangs.
• MAKEUP: Keep the face youthful. The bamboo muzzle is more important to the recognizable silhouette than heavy makeup.

Props

• 01 — Bamboo Muzzle
• 02 — Wooden Box — The large wooden box is strongly associated with Nezuko's daytime travel because she cannot normally be exposed to sunlight.
