Demon Slayer Shinobu’s Katana

Shinobu Kocho is a petite young woman with a pale complexion and large, compound eyes with no pupils, just a hint of violet, making her eyes appear similar to those of insects. She has shoulder-length, wavy hair that fades from black to dark purple, styled into a flat yakai maki bun at the back of her head, fastened with a white, turquoise and light purple butterfly ornament. According to Zenitsu Agatsuma, Shinobu is so cute that she could live on her looks alone.
