Shinobu Kocho in her butterfly wing haori, Mitsuri Kanroji in her uniform with green socks and Tengen Uzui, each full length in their Hashira outfit, Demon Slayer

Demon Slayer quiz: will you recognise these characters by their outfit alone?

Your mission

A checkered pattern, flames, butterfly wings: ten outfits to match to the people who wear them. Get them all right and the title of master costume maker is yours.

In Demon Slayer, all the demon slayers wear the same black uniform. It is the haori, the jacket worn over it, that makes the difference: a checkered pattern, flames, butterfly wings, triangles. These outfits can be recognised from afar, in silhouette, in a blurry image or from a simple square of fabric, and many of them tell a family story.

Ten outfits are described to you, and it is up to you to find who wears them. Under each question, the image never shows the character themselves, but someone who matters in their story, and sometimes the one who passed their jacket on to them. The explanation appears as soon as you answer, and your score comes at the end. Our page on all the Demon Slayer characters introduces them, if you want to revise first.
