Obanai Iguro is the Serpent Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps in Koyoharu Gotouge’s series. He wears bandages across the lower half of his face at all times, has heterochromia eyes with one yellow and one teal iris, and uses a twisted, snake-like Nichirin Sword. His white serpent Kaburamaru accompanies him constantly and serves as a communication partner during combat.
These pages suit Demon Slayer fans, anime coloring enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to one of the series’ most visually distinctive and restrained character designs.
The coloring challenge is unique to this set: almost every page includes both Obanai and Kaburamaru. Two subjects on every page, human and serpent, each requiring a completely different surface treatment: cloth and skin on one side, scales and coil on the other.

What’s Inside Iguro Obanai Coloring Pages
The set is entirely focused on Obanai and Kaburamaru, making it one of the most consistent two-subject sets in the Demon Slayer collection.
Obanai Solo and Portrait Pages
The largest group covers Obanai in standard presentation: the Serpent Hashira identifier pages, a standard portrait, a printable design, a cute expression, and several format variants covering his full visual range.
Coloring Obanai: Obanai has straight black hair and a pale complexion. His most distinctive feature is his heterochromia: his right eye is a pale yellow-gold, and his left eye is a vivid teal-green. Both eyes should be clearly different in color: the yellow warmer and more muted, the teal cooler and more vivid. His lower face is wrapped in bandages in a warm off-white. His Demon Slayer Corps uniform is standard dark navy, worn under his serpent-scale haori. The haori is his most complex coloring element: a black-and-white woven pattern based on serpent scales, with organic curved shapes rather than the regular grids of other Hashira haori. Getting the serpentine curves of the scale pattern smooth and consistent across the haori is the most technically demanding coloring task in this set.
Pages with Kaburamaru
Several pages show Obanai with Kaburamaru, his white serpent companion, either draped around his shoulders, coiled beside him, or interacting directly during combat.
Coloring Kaburamaru: Kaburamaru is a white serpent with faint scale definition visible across the body. The scales should be rendered in a very light cool grey against white, subtle enough to read as white at a distance but giving the serpent texture when viewed closely. The eyes are a soft pink-red, a warm accent in an otherwise cool and restrained palette. On pages where Kaburamaru is draped over Obanai’s shoulders, the white of the serpent against the dark navy of the uniform and the black-and-white haori creates a three-way tonal composition: dark, pattern, and white highlight. Working the serpent’s body as the lightest element on the page makes these compositions read cleanly.
Coloring Obanai and Kaburamaru together: the paired compositions in this set ask the colorist to handle two entirely different surface types at once. Obanai’s clothing has flat fabric planes, a woven haori pattern, and skin. Kaburamaru has smooth scale texture and a sinuous form. On pages where both are prominent, the contrast between the geometric structure of the haori and the organic flow of the serpent is the central visual tension. Keeping the haori’s pattern precise and the serpent’s form flowing creates the most effective version of these pages.
Chibi Pages
Three pages show Obanai in chibi form: a cute chibi Iguro Obanai, a standard chibi Obanai, and a chibi Iguro Obanai variant. Kaburamaru typically appears in simplified form alongside chibi Obanai.
Coloring chibi pages: chibi Obanai simplifies the heterochromia into two clearly distinct small irises and reduces the haori pattern to a simplified version of the scale motif. The bandages remain, keeping the character recognizable. The pale yellow and teal eyes are Obanai’s most immediately recognizable feature and should be clearly differentiated even in chibi scale.

The haori scale pattern and the Kaburamaru texture pages reward printing for precise detail work. Chibi pages work well in both formats.
What These Pages Do
Obanai Iguro has worn bandages across his face since childhood. They cover a scar from his family’s past, and he kept them through his entire career in the Corps. He never showed that part of his face in the series, including to Mitsuri Kanroji, the one person he was open with about everything else. Not because he was hiding from her. Because he had decided long before they met that certain things about him were not for the world to see.
Coloring Obanai requires reading his expression entirely through his eyes: two differently colored irises, above bandages, above a serpent coiled at his shoulder. That constraint is not a limitation of the coloring pages. It is the point: this is a character whose emotional life is almost entirely in what shows above the bandage line, and practicing that kind of narrow, precise reading is a different coloring skill than working a fully expressive face. The serpent scale haori adds a second discipline: organic pattern repetition that trains the hand to follow a curved path consistently rather than a straight grid.
The AAP notes that activities requiring focused attention on small, non-verbal cues, such as reading expression through eyes alone, build observational skills and the ability to infer emotional state from limited information. This capacity matters well beyond the coloring page.
Art therapy practitioners note that coloring a character who communicates primarily through restraint and indirect expression can be particularly resonant for children who themselves find direct expression difficult, offering a model of someone whose internal life is real and present without needing to be fully visible.
How to Color Iguro Obanai Coloring Pages
The heterochromia must be clearly different, not subtly different. Obanai’s right eye is a warm yellow-gold, his left eye a vivid teal. If both are treated as similar light colors, the most distinctive feature of his design disappears. The yellow should be warmer and slightly more muted; the teal should be cooler and more saturated. On chibi pages where the irises are small, this difference still needs to be readable.
The serpent scale haori follows organic curves, not a straight grid. Tanjiro’s checkerboard haori is a regular grid. Obanai’s scale pattern has curved, overlapping shapes that follow the body’s natural contours. Working along the curve of each scale rather than across a flat grid is what makes the pattern read as scales rather than as flat pattern fill. Take time to trace the scale outlines before adding color.
Kaburamaru reads best as the lightest element on the page. The dark navy uniform, the black-and-white haori, and Obanai’s pale skin all sit in the mid-to-dark range. A bright, clean white for Kaburamaru, with only faint cool grey for scale definition, makes the serpent read as a deliberate light accent in a predominantly dark palette.
The bandages are warm, off-white, not pure white. A warm ivory or cream keeps the bandages distinct from Kaburamaru’s cooler white. Two whites on the same page need different temperatures to be visually separate.

Who is Iguro Obanai?
Iguro Obanai is a character from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge. He is the Serpent Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, known for his heterochromia eyes, the bandages covering the lower half of his face, his twisted serpentine Nichirin Sword, and his constant companion, the white serpent Kaburamaru. He is one of the nine Hashira who fight in the final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji.
Why does Obanai wear bandages on his face?
Obanai was born into a family connected to a demon cult, and the bandages cover scars from his early life that he has carried since childhood. He wore them throughout his time in the Demon Slayer Corps. The bandages are not a mask in the same way as Inosuke’s boar skull: they cover a part of himself he never chose to expose, even to those closest to him.
What is Kaburamaru?
Kaburamaru is Obanai’s white serpent companion. In the series, Kaburamaru serves as a communication partner during combat. Because Obanai’s Serpent Breathing style uses movement and positioning that require constant spatial awareness, Kaburamaru observes the battlefield and relays information by moving against Obanai’s body. The serpent appears on almost every page of this set.
What is Serpent Breathing?
Serpent Breathing is a Breathing Style derived from Water Breathing, developed by Obanai himself and adapted to his unusual twisted Nichirin Sword. The techniques involve unpredictable, winding movements that change direction mid-strike, mimicking the movement of a serpent. Because the blade is curved and the strikes are non-linear, opponents find it very difficult to predict where an attack will land.
What is Obanai’s relationship with Mitsuri Kanroji?
Obanai and Mitsuri Kanroji, the Love Hashira, have a relationship that the series develops quietly across supplementary materials and the final arc. Obanai is one of the few people Mitsuri is fully open with, and she is one of the very few people he allows himself to be open with in return. Their relationship is one of the most significant emotional arcs in the final battle sequence of the series.
Are these official Iguro Obanai coloring pages?
No. These are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use and are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by Koyoharu Gotouge, Shueisha, Aniplex, ufotable, or any other rights holder of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
What age group are these pages best suited for?
Demon Slayer is rated for audiences aged 13 and up due to its action and dark themes. The coloring pages are appropriate for fans of the series from around age 8. Chibi pages work for younger children who enjoy the character designs.
