A talented cosplayer Sophie ‘peachmilky_’ adorably recreated this, and posed as the character peeking out of a cupboard. The artist captured Kamado’s look with her pink eyes, and flowing black hair which turns vermillion at the ends.

Sophie also uses a bamboo gag which the girl bites down on to contain her urges to attack humans. Her creative photo takes the cosplay to the next level, as it’s almost as if the DS character has crawled from out of the screen.
