Nezuko Kamado

An adorable girl with a dark secret

• First look: Chapter 1 (Manga) Section 1 (Anime)

Nezuko Kamado Already had a solid design from the start, back when she was a human being, since her pink kimono, her big pink eyes and her long black hair made her look as adorable and friendly as she was. But everything changed during history's urgent incident, when Muzan Kibutsuji forced her into a demon.

While Nezuko fortunately held what already made her character design so appealing, she gained a new and important accessory: a bamboo nose that prevents her from attacking people. This only item is a brilliant addition from Gotouge's part, as it makes it immediately obvious that she is not an ordinary person and that there is something she wants to hide. In addition, the huge contrast is between her sweet appearance as she rests inside Tanjiro's box and her hard demonic design as she engages in battle is fascinating, and the transformed Nezuko effectively transformed into one of the most distinct female characters in the entire anime/manga industry.

Gyokko

An evil artist who looks like a twisted artwork

• First look: Chapter 98 (Manga) Section 45 (Anime)

Like the story of Demonsklayer Continued, the antagonistic demons began to look less and less humane, which Koyoharu Gotouge used to its advantage to experiment with strange and unique designs. One of the most remarkable examples of this phenomenon was GyokkoUpper rank five of the twelve Kizuki.

To even believe that this powerful demon was once a man feels strange, because he now looks like a disturbing merger of mouths, eyes and legs, not to mention that he literally lives in a porcelain. Gyokko's extravagant character design is not only meant to look unnecessary (because he is one of the most contemptible villains in the series), but it is also brilliant as it binds perfectly with his backstory and his motif. In life he was a talented artist who murdered people and eventually became obsessed with human corpses, as a result is his demonic appearance based on abstract art.

The tone uzui

An over-the-top look for the most flamboyant hashira

• First look: Chapter 44 (Manga) Section 21 (Anime)

The sound Hashira, the tone Uzui, is the self -proclaimed “God of Flashiness” that actively wants to look as flamboyant as possible to stand out and grab other people's attention, and he has obviously succeeded. While his demon Slayer uniform initially seems surprisingly boring and everyday, he clearly puts a greater focus on all other accessories that he carries his arms and leads all the time.

Golden bracelets, a headband with gemstones, two diamond chains, red and green nail polish, a splash of red makeup in one eye and two very host connected to a chain. All of these elements themselves may feel unnecessary over-the-top, but they work surprisingly well together, especially when combined with Uzui's natural physical bulk and shiny white hair. There is no doubt that he is one of the flashst and most interesting looks Hashira in Demon Slayer Corps.

Shinobu Kocho

A lovely woman with darkness in her heart

• First look: Chapter 28 (Manga) Section 15 (Anime)

Shinobu KochoThe insect Hashira, is one of the most loved and recognizable female characters in DemonsklayerAnd her flawless character design really contributed to her reputation. For starters, her short black and purple hair and her big purple eyes make her look both beautiful and enticing. But this stops working to her advantage, as Shinobu actually hides a lot of anger and annoyance inside her, making the subsequent contrast all the more fascinating.

And that's not all, because she also has a butterfly/insect motif that makes her stand out even more. The accessory on her head is adorable and her modified Stinger Nichirin is a smart supplement that compensates for her lack of physical strength, but the most astonishing part of Shinobus character design is her kimono, which has a beautiful and ingenious insect -based pattern that makes her look like a flying butterfly.

Tanjiro Kamado

One of the most iconic anime headers ever created

• First look: Chapter 1 (Manga) Section 1 (Anime)

Designing an easily recognizable protagonist for an action shōnen series is not an easy task, as they will be forced to share a space with many other icons in the genre, such as Monkey D. Luffy or Naruto. Nevertheless, Koyoharu gotough succeeded on that front with the main character DemonsklayerThe Tanjiro KamadoWhich quickly became one of the most recognizable figures in the entire medium.

Everything about Tanjiro is supposed to make him look both friendly and strong, because he is a talented warrior who often tries to empathize with demons before they die. His hair, his eyes and his uniform all look very good, but his design also has three specific things that make him stand out even more: the huge scar on the forehead, his beautiful Hanafuda earrings (which are actually important for the action) and his classic black and green Haori. Thanks to all these smart design elements, Tanjiro's simplified design can serve many purposes: When he is engaged in battle, he looks resolute and heroic, but when he drops with his friends in comic scenes, he may look stupid and adorable.

Kyojuro Rengoku

Perfectly represents his fiery battle style and his enthusiastic personality

• First look: Chapter 44 (Manga) Section 21 (Anime)

Each individual hashira has an excellent design that reflects their unique martial arts and title, but Flame Hashira, Kyojuro RengokuPerhaps has the best character design in the whole group. After all, he is a kind, enthusiastic and passionate warrior with a lot of fire in his heart, so it makes sense that he embodies themes of fire and flames.

As a result, his yellow and red hair, his long red and white cape, fit his socks with flames, and his red nichirin host suited him perfectly and makes him look absolutely incredible, especially when he calls very burning flames while using his signature flame breathing style in the battle.

2

Kokushibo

The most powerful Kizuki looks like a human being (with a disturbing twist)

• First look: Chapter 99 (Manga) Section 45 (Anime)

Although Muzan Kibutsuji's twelve Kizuki is mostly consisted of scary demons with incredible supernatural abilities, the most powerful and scary looks like an ordinary person. Upper rank, one, KokushiboWas twin brother to the legendary Yoriichi Tsugikuni, and as a result of his long -standing indignation, he maintained most of his human traits.

At first glance, Kokushibo is one of the most impressive sword fighters in the series, thanks to his long red and black hair, his beautiful purple and black Kimono and his long black Hakama pants. But his most distinctive feature is his collection of six demonic eyes that perfectly reflect the hatred and blood lust in his heart. And if that wasn't enough, his Katana covered with his eyes to look even more like a scary monster. With such a simple but efficient design, Gotouge managed to create the nicest demon enemy in the entire series.

Inosuke Hashibira

One of the most brilliantly performed character designs in all anime

• First look: Chapter 21 (Manga) Section 11 (Anime)

Among the huge collection of Demonsklayer characters with remarkable patterns, Inosuke Hashibira Stands out a lot, mainly because no one else in the series looks like him. When he looks at Inosuke his most notorious element immediately dives: he always carries a hollow wild boar head as a mask, which is as strange as it is funny.

Because of his special upbringing, Inosuke often acts as a beast, and his wild boar flawlessly reflects his temperamental, overwhelming and unpredictable personality. On top of all this, his naked chilled look, his belt made from fluffy deer fur, and his two broken nichirin sword complements his design and successfully make him look even more like a human animal. But the most brilliant aspect of Inosuke's design is what is below that mask, because he is actually a beautiful and feminine stylish young man. This part of his design not only explains his need to hide behind a mask, but the obvious contrast often results in a bunch of funny comic scenes between him and his friends.
