[Demon Slayer] Character Origami: Easy How-To and Tips

Shinobu Kocho

[Origami] Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Shinobu Kocho

Let’s fold Shinobu Kocho with origami.

First, make the face and draw the expression using round stickers for the eyes or colored pens.

A key point is to place the round stickers lower on the face.

Fold the long black hair and cut a slit in the center to create a part.

After attaching the face, layer purple origami on the tips of the hair and add the butterfly hair ornament.

Make the remaining torso and haori, then attach them to the head to finish.

For the sleeves of the haori, fold the corners to create rounded shapes to enhance a feminine look.

Giyu Tomioka

[Demon Slayer] Let’s make Giyu Tomioka with origami 🎵

Let’s fold Giyu Tomioka, who wears a distinctive haori, using origami.

First, we’ll fold the face.

The key is to fold evenly while checking the balance of the outline.

Once the face is done, attach round stickers as the base for the eyes and add the facial expression.

Next, use black origami paper to fold the hair.

As you shape it, make small cuts with scissors and carefully fold all the way to the tips of the hair.

Attach the face and hair so they are balanced and symmetrical on both sides.

Make the haori with two colors of origami paper and draw the pattern by hand.

If you have origami with a similar pattern, you can use that instead.

Draw the buttons and belt on the torso for the uniform, and finally make the sword to finish.

Tanjiro Kamado

[Origami] How to Fold Tanjiro from Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) — kimetunoyaiba tanjirou

Let’s fold Tanjiro Kamado in origami, featuring his green-and-black checkered haori and distinctive facial scar.

We’ll start with the face, shaping the outline by folding the corners of the paper inward.

Once you’ve checked the positions of the eyes and mouth and drawn his expression with a felt-tip pen, add the scar on his forehead in brown.

For the hair, create a three-dimensional look by lifting it up while folding so the forehead scar remains visible.

After making the haori and torso with black and green origami paper, attach them to the face.

Carefully draw the checkered pattern with colored pens, and you’ll have a cool Tanjiro Kamado all done!

Nakime

[Origami] Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Nakime (origami kimetsunoyaiba)

You can also make Nakkime, with her mysterious charm, out of origami.

Speaking of Nakkime, her defining feature is her single eye.

After folding the face, make the eye with a small piece of origami paper, decide on the position, and glue it on.

For the long hair that covers the face, the key is to cut straight slits into black origami paper.

Once you attach it to the face, fold the tips of the hair to give it a sense of movement.

Use black origami paper for the body and a brownish paper for the biwa.

Draw the strings on the biwa, attach it to the body, and you’re done.

Kaigaku

[Origami] Demon Slayer: Kaigaku (Kimetsu no Yaiba)

Let’s make Kaigaku with origami! For this, you’ll use a total of five sheets: one light orange sheet (7.5 cm × 7.5 cm), two black sheets (7.5 cm × 7.5 cm), one blue sheet (7.5 cm × 7.5 cm), and one black sheet (15 cm × 15 cm).

You’ll make the face, hair, and body separately.

The key feature of this character is definitely the eyes.

They may look difficult at first, but you can easily create the base by slightly folding a light blue round sticker and attaching it.

After that, add outlines and write the kanji, and you’re good to go.

The way you fold the hair and add the slits is especially important, so be sure to check carefully as you go.

If you take your time crafting each part carefully, the overall quality will improve a lot.

Give it a go with patience!

Ubuyashiki Kagaya

[Origami] Demon Slayer: Lord of the Mansion (Kagaya Ubuyashiki)

How about making Kagaya Ubuyashiki—affectionately called Oyakata-sama and adored by many Corps members—out of origami? For this project, you’ll use a total of five sheets: one 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm light orange, one 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm light purple, one 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm black, one 15 cm × 15 cm black, and one 3.75 cm × 3.75 cm cream-colored sheet.

You’ll create it part by part, but the key point is the hair.

Cut along the white guide lines while keeping the contrast between black and white in mind.

If you can make the hair’s parting look clean, it will enhance the character’s likeness even more, so keep that in mind as you work.

Kanao Tsuyuri

[Origami] Demon Slayer: Kanao Tsuyuri – origami kimetsu no yaiba tsuyuri kanao

Here’s how to make Kanao Tsuyuri.

You’ll use a total of six 7.5 cm × 7.5 cm sheets: one light orange sheet, three black sheets, one white sheet, and one green sheet.

You’ll make the parts for the face, hair, kimono, and hair ornament separately, then combine them to finish.

For the hair parts, there’s a step where you fold along fine cuts, so be careful not to tear the paper.

If you’re not confident drawing the eyes, you can color white round stickers black and stick them on for an easy, cute finish.

Have fun decorating it to resemble the real character!
