Sanemi Shinazugawa is the Wind Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps in Koyoharu Gotouge’s series, and the older brother of Genya Shinazugawa. He is known for extreme aggression, a heavily scarred body, and a rare blood type that intoxicates demons.
These pages suit Demon Slayer fans and anyone drawn to a character whose visual design is defined by the history written on his body.
The coloring challenge is unique to this set: Sanemi has more visible scars than any other character in the series. They cover his torso, arms, neck, and face, and every solo page puts them front and center. Coloring scars well requires deciding how healed they look: pale ivory for old ones, slightly warmer or pink for more recent ones. Getting that right is what separates a careful Sanemi page from a careless one.

What’s Inside Sanemi Shinazugawa Coloring Pages
The set covers Sanemi across solo pages and nearly every significant relationship in his arc, making it one of the most relationship-rich sets in the Demon Slayer collection.
Sanemi Solo Pages
The solo pages show Sanemi across his full range: standing portrait, face close-up, smiling, happy, funny, cute, cool, and demon-slaying action poses. These pages show both the aggressive exterior that the series presents first and the less guarded expressions that appear later.
Coloring Sanemi: Sanemi has silver-white hair, which is his most immediately distinctive feature. His skin is fair, and almost every visible area of his body is covered in scars from decades of demon combat. His Hashira uniform is the standard Demon Slayer Corps dark navy. He does not wear a haori in most pages, unlike some other Hashira, which means his scarred torso and arms are directly visible. The scars should be treated with care: old, fully healed scars are pale ivory, almost the same tone as his skin, but with a slightly smoother, shinier quality. The scar running across his face from chin to cheek is among the most prominent. On action pages, his expression typically conveys intense aggression, which suits a bolder, higher-contrast coloring approach than pages where he is smiling or relaxed.
Sanemi and Genya
Four pages pair Sanemi with his younger brother Genya: two standard paired scenes and one chibi Sanemi and Genya page. One additional page features Sanemi alone in the context of the Genya set.
Coloring Sanemi and Genya together: on paired pages, the brothers’ color contrast works visually the same way their personalities contrast emotionally. Sanemi’s silver-white hair against Genya’s warm black, his pale scars more distributed against Genya’s concentrated facial scar. Both have the same family bone structure. On the paired pages, keeping Sanemi clearly cooler and more heavily scarred than Genya is the primary coloring task. The chibi page reduces the intensity of both expressions, showing the two in a softer register than the dramatic standard pages.
Sanemi and Kanae Kocho
Three pages feature Sanemi with Kanae Kocho, the late Flower Hashira and older sister of Shinobu: a standard paired scene, a second paired scene, and a page described as a love scene.
Coloring Sanemi and Kanae: Kanae Kocho has soft, shoulder-length light brown hair and the butterfly haori of the Kocho household, similar in palette to Shinobu’s but slightly warmer. Her expression tends toward gentle warmth. The visual contrast between her (soft, butterfly-patterned, light and warm) and Sanemi (scarred, angular, silver-white and cool) is the entire dynamic of their relationship made visible. Kanae’s warm tones and Sanemi’s cool ones create a natural complementary pair on any page they share. Keep her haori’s butterfly pattern in soft pinks and lavenders, and his uniform in plain dark navy, and the contrast speaks for itself.
Sanemi with Other Hashira
Two pages show Sanemi with other Hashira: one with Obanai Iguro and one with Giyu Tomioka.
Coloring Sanemi and Obanai: Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Hashira, has a distinctively patterned haori in black and white with a serpent scale pattern, dark hair, and unusual heterochromia eyes. The page pairs two of the more quietly intense Hashira: Obanai’s restrained, formal palette against Sanemi’s scarred, silver-and-navy design.
Coloring Sanemi and Giyu: Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, has dark hair and a distinctive half-and-half haori with one side dark navy and one side a geometric red-and-white pattern. On the paired page, Sanemi’s silver-white hair contrasts directly with Giyu’s dark hair, making the characters easy to distinguish at a glance.
Chibi Sanemi
The set includes four chibi pages: chibi Sanemi, chibi Sanemi Shinazugawa, chibi Demon Slayer Sanemi, and one of the chibi Sanemi and Genya paired pages.
Coloring chibi Sanemi: chibi Sanemi retains his silver-white hair and the most prominent facial scar, but the simplified forms soften the aggressive expression into something more energetic and less threatening. The standard palette applies. The scars are simplified in chibi form to a few key marks rather than the full coverage of the standard pages.

What These Pages Do
Sanemi Shinazugawa does not have a single line of honest speech in the series. He insults everyone. He picks fights with Tanjiro in front of the entire Hashira council. He threatens his own brother with death to drive him away. Everything he feels about the people he cares about comes out sideways: as aggression, as refusal, as threat. He cannot say “I love you,” “I’m afraid for you,” or “please stay safe.” Those feelings exist; they just come out as their opposite.
Coloring thirty pages of this character, including the ones alongside Kanae Kocho, gives that contradiction somewhere to land. The image does what the character cannot do with words.
The AAP notes that activities featuring characters who express care through indirect or unconventional means help children understand that people communicate love and concern in many different ways, not all of them immediately recognizable.
Art therapy practitioners note that coloring characters whose exterior presentation is at odds with their internal emotional life can help children who themselves struggle to express feelings directly recognize their own experience in the character, and feel less alone in it.
How to Color Sanemi Shinazugawa Coloring Pages
Treat the scars as a topography, not a pattern. Sanemi’s scars are not decorative. They are the accumulated record of every demon he survived. Old scars are pale ivory, slightly lighter than the skin around them, with a subtle sheen. More recent scars are slightly pinker or warmer. Varying the scar tones across his body gives the page visual depth and makes the scars read as real rather than as a repeating texture.
Silver-white hair reads differently from white. Sanemi’s hair is a cool silver rather than pure white. A very light, slightly cool grey achieves the correct tone. Pure white reads as absent on the page. A slight grey-silver value gives his hair the weight and color it needs to read clearly.
On paired pages with Kanae, lean into the warm-cool contrast. Her butterfly haori in soft pinks and lavenders against his plain dark navy, her warm brown hair against his cool silver, her soft expression against his angular one: these contrasts are doing all the work of communicating their relationship. Keeping both palettes true to their characters, rather than blending them, makes the paired pages as expressive as the series intended.
Chibi scars should be visible but not dominant. In chibi form, showing the most prominent facial scar and one or two arm scars keeps Sanemi recognizable without overwhelming the simplified, lighter energy of the chibi design.

Who is Sanemi Shinazugawa?
Sanemi Shinazugawa is a character from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge. He is the Wind Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps and the older brother of Genya Shinazugawa. He is known for his extreme aggression, his heavily scarred body, and his rare blood type, which has an intoxicating effect on demons, making them lose control when they smell or taste it. Tomokazu Seki voices him in Japanese and Jonah Scott in English.
Why is Sanemi so scarred?
Sanemi has accumulated his scars over many years of demon combat, beginning before he even joined the Corps. After his mother was turned into a demon and killed his siblings, Sanemi spent time hunting demons alone before eventually joining the Corps and rising to the rank of Wind Hashira. His body reflects the full history of that combat. Some scars predate the Corps entirely.
What is Sanemi’s rare blood type?
Sanemi possesses a blood type called marechi, an exceptionally rare condition that makes his blood unusually intoxicating to demons. When demons smell or consume his blood, they temporarily lose control and become impaired. Sanemi has used this as a deliberate combat strategy, baiting demons by exposing his own blood to disorient them.
Who is Kanae Kocho, and why does she appear with Sanemi?
Kanae Kocho was the Flower Hashira and the older sister of Shinobu Kocho, killed by Upper Rank Two demon Doma before the events of the series. Demon Slayer supplementary materials indicate that Kanae and Sanemi had a relationship that went beyond professional interactions as fellow Hashira. Their paired pages in this set depict that connection. Kanae is characterized throughout the series as one of the kindest and most empathetic people in the Corps.
What is Sanemi’s relationship with Genya?
Sanemi and Genya are brothers who were separated after their mother, transformed into a demon, attacked and killed most of their younger siblings. Sanemi killed her to save Genya, but Genya did not know the truth and blamed his brother for years. Sanemi’s hostile treatment of Genya throughout the series is a form of protection: he wants his brother out of the Demon Slayer Corps and safely away from danger.

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.
