Cosplayer Faid Eyren shared her take on the heroine, and brought the anime to life with a gorgeous re-creation in Japan. Photographer ‘mirn_japan‘ captured the artist posing in Kocho’s Corps uniform, with assistance from ‘Nami’s photo‘ who helped with editing.

Faid truly captures the Demon Slayer character’s enchanting look, from her striking eyes, to her purple and black hair which sits under her iconic insect head piece. Butterflies rest on her shoulder as she unsheathes her incredible prop replica of Shinobu’s katana.
