Demon Slayer Shinobu Cosplay Proves Why Anime Needs Live-Action Adaptation
Shinobu Kocho gets a live-action revamp in some fantastic Demon Slayer cosplay. The Demon Slayer anime first aired in 2019, based on the hit manga of the same name written and illustrated by Koyoharu Gotouge. The anime follows Tanjiro Kamado as he joins the Demon Slayer Corps in the wake of a demon attack that killed his family and infected his younger sister Nezuko. Although, he doesn’t wish to hunt demons — instead, he hopes to find a cure for Nezuko’s demon infection.
The character of Shinobu first appears in episode 15, voiced by Saori Hayami in Japanese and Erika Harlacher in the English dub. Shinobu presents as very cheerful and friendly, even in stressful situations, though she is seen to be ruthless throughout her demon slayer appearances, even attempting to slay Nezuko. Audiences were soon to discover that Shinobu’s hatred of demons is related to the trauma she experienced at their hands. Similar to Tanjiro, Shinobu lost both her parents at a young age in a demon attack, resulting in them joining the Demon Slayer Corps. She later lost her sister as well to a demon attack, only furthering her hatred.
