Cosplayer stuns as Demon Slayer’s Shinobu
In the series, the deadliest swordsmen in the world belong to the Demon Corps and are called Pillars. Each one of these fighters are able to control their breath and unleash incredible powers. Shinobu is one of them, and is associated with insects.
Cosplayer Roxanne Kho teamed up with photographer ‘neko.shie’ to show off her true-to-life costume. The artist posed in her character’s uniform, grabbing for her katana as her white patterned kimono drapes over her shoulders.
Roxanne perfectly captures the Demon Slayer fighter’s enchanting style, from her pink hued sleeves, to Shinobu’s butterfly headpiece. The whole thing is tied together with gorgeous editing from ‘zacktolosa’ which gives the picture a dream-like feel.
