Inosuke Hashibira

We’ll show you how to make Inosuke Hashibira, known for his distinctive boar’s head.

For this, you’ll use a total of five sheets of origami paper: one thin orange sheet (7.5 cm × 7 cm), one ocher sheet (7.5 cm × 7 cm), one silver sheet (7.5 cm × 7 cm), one gray sheet (15 cm × 15 cm), and one pink sheet (3.75 cm × 3.75 cm).

You’ll create each part separately—the face, upper body, lower body, and swords.

The facial decorations may look tricky, but they’re easy to make by layering a white round sticker with a smaller light-blue round sticker.

The cuts and folds on both sides of the face are key points, so be sure to follow the steps carefully as you work.

Zenitsu Agatsuma

[Demon Slayer] Let's make Zenitsu & Chuntaro with origami 🎵
Zenitsu Agatsuma

Let’s fold Zenitsu Agatsuma, whose signature features are his yellow and orange hair, using origami.

Fold up the two bottom corners, then fold the newly made corners slightly upward to form the face.

Draw the eyes and eyebrows with colored pens.

When folding the hair, the key is to create a jagged, cut-edge look to capture its distinctive style.

Add the orange hair color with colored pens.

Next, after folding the torso, attach the haori (jacket) and draw the triangular pattern with a felt-tip pen.

Finally, attach the face to the torso to complete it.

Try making Zenitsu—he may be timid, but his Thunder Breathing is super cool!

Doma

Doma

Here’s an idea for Doma, characterized by rainbow-colored eyes and hair the color of white oak.

Let’s start by making the face with a small sheet of origami.

You can create the facial outline just by rounding the bottom of the paper, but if you add a folding step, you can also make the ears and neck.

Once the face is done, attach rainbow-colored eyes made from round stickers and draw in the expression.

The key to making it look like Doma is to give him a slightly unsettling smile.

When making the hair, consider the parting and the length.

After you make the hat and torso, draw the patterns, attach the head, and you’re done!

Muichiro Tokito

I’ll show you how to make Muichiro Tokito.

You’ll use a total of five sheets of origami paper: one light orange (7.5 cm × 7.5 cm), one light blue (7.5 cm × 7.5 cm), two black (7.5 cm × 7.5 cm), and one black (15 cm × 15 cm).

The hair is expressed with both the bangs and the back hair using a single sheet, so proceed carefully, paying close attention to where you make cuts and where you fold.

The signature emerald-green hair color is represented with light blue origami.

Since you’ll be folding small-sized sheets to create the parts, please check each step carefully as you work.

Kibutsuji Muzan

The sense of accomplishment is insane!! [Origami] How to make Muzan Kibutsuji from Demon Slayer - origami - Demon Slayer Kimetsu
Kibutsuji Muzan

Let’s try making Muzan Kibutsuji out of origami! You’ll use a total of three sheets: one thin orange 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm sheet, one black 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm sheet, and one black 15 cm × 15 cm sheet.

We’ll create the hair, face, and hat as separate parts, but the key point is the hair.

The hair is divided into three sections: bangs, both sides, and the back.

Make small cuts and fold finely to create a soft wave.

Since there are many delicate steps, the sense of accomplishment when you assemble all the parts will be amazing! Please use this as a reference and take your time to craft it patiently.

Akaza

Among the characters in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, let’s fold an origami Akaza, who is especially popular.

We’ll make Akaza’s face using white origami paper.

The key is to draw the distinctive blue patterns with colored pens.

Use round stickers for the eyes and give them a sharp look to add intensity to the expression.

When folding the signature red hair, make firm creases and fold the tips to a point.

Adding small cuts with scissors will give it a three-dimensional effect.

Make the torso, attach everything together, and you’re done.

Try to keep the overall balance as you assemble it!

Kyojuro Rengoku

Let’s make Kyojuro Rengoku with origami! You’ll use a total of three sheets: one thin orange 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm sheet, one black 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm sheet, and one yellow 15 cm × 15 cm sheet.

You’ll fold the face, hair, and kimono as separate parts, so each individual fold is simple and easy to do.

The eyes might seem tricky, but using round stickers makes them quick to finish.

Making careful snips for the hair is a key step, so take your time with it.

When drawing on the black outfit, using a correction pen or crayons is recommended!
