The top three Upper Rank demons stand in the middle of the image in a group, glaring menacingly into the camera. Kokushibo, the highest rankeddemon other than Muzan, is at the forefront, wearing his trademark purple and black kimono. The Kokushibo cosplayer captured every detail of the iconic demon’s look, from his long black hair to his multiple sets of red and yellow eyes. Since he is thetop member of the Twelve Kizuki, Kokushibo is utterly frightening, and his appearance in this look shows that. Next to him is Doma, the deceptively charmingUpper Rank Two demon.

Doma has flowing blonde hair, long purple nails, and a red shirt and gray striped pants, accessorized with a black dripping design that looks creepily similar to blood. Although Doma acts friendly and often wears a smile, beneath the surface, he is just as twisted as the other demons and eager to consume human flesh. Behind Doma looms Akaza, the Upper Rank three demon. The cosplayer’s short spiky pink hair, pink vest, white pants, and black striped markings make it obvious who they are emulating with their costume,portraying the true terror of the third-ranked demon inDemon Slayer.
