About our Sanemi Shinazugawa

Sanemi Shinazugawa is the wind hashira of the demon slayer corps. Sanemi is a scary-looking person, He has a lot of scars, and he's always got this intense look on his face—like he's in a fight with someone. He doesn't smile much, and when he does it's kind of weird. All these gave him an intimidating appearance.

His first met with Tanjiro and Nezuko wasn’t a pleased one. He treated Nezuko with the rudest manner possible, tried to kill her, tried to use his blood to release the demon inside Nezuko. Many anime fans will really hate him for his behavior, but if you have watched the manga, you know he is just really hates demon and being over protective.

The story behind Sanemi is sad. His mother was turned into demon and try to eat his whole family, to protect his brother, he had to kill her mother. He later become a Demon Slayer, but he didn’t want his brother to join because it’s a dangerous job. He acted like he despite his brother, but the truth is he just want his brother to quit, and live a peaceful life after, instead of risking life everyday.

Sanemi Shinazugawa’s Nichirin Katana

In the Anime, Sanemi wields a green katana, standard size.

How we recreate the Sanemi Shinazugawa Katana

First of all, we specialized in real katana, not props katana, so when we design this katana, we were designing a real, fully functional katana, not just a show piece. That means there are things from the anime or manga that we can’t 100% replicate because they are not realistic possible.

For the blade, we use a blue colored manganese katana blade with wavy pattern. The blue color is result of using high temperature to heat up the steel. It’s not paint, it looks more nature and eye catching. We know in the anime the katana blade is green, but in real life we can’t make nature green color blade, so we have to go for blue.

For the Saya, we used green saya with black stain on it.

For the Tsuba. it’s an alloy recreation of the leaf shape tsuba from the anime. It’s sturdy and hard, provide good protection to your hand.

For the Sageo, we used white & green cotton, and black samegawa. The color really match the blue manganese steel blade.
