The talented cosplayer also recreated the character’s wood box accessory, which he wears on his back to hide his demon-turned sister as they travel around.
Iris nails Tanjiro’s short hair style, and the unique birthmark that is on the left side of his forehead, and breathed life into him with her insanely accurate recreation of his green and black checkered yukata.
It’s simply crazy just how much she looks like the character, especially with the intricately detailed patterns on her costume. Not only did she perfectly recreate the anime character’s outfit, she looks exactly like him with her dark red eyes.
