Free Spirited Away Coloring Pages: 30+ printable PDF pages featuring Chihiro Ogino, No-Face, Haku, the River Spirit, and Yubaba across solo portraits, duo scenes, and group compositions, plus one crossover page with Nezuko from Demon Slayer. All free, download PDF to print, or color online.
Spirited Away’s five major characters do not share a visual register. Chihiro is an ordinary human child in everyday warm tones. No-Face is a near-void of dark translucent grey with a tiny white mask. Haku shifts between a pale human form and a long white dragon. The River Spirit is a mass of dark sludge carrying centuries of pollution. Yubaba is theatrical and ornate, enormous in proportion and dense in detail. Working through this set means reading each character’s visual logic from scratch: dark restraint, warm human skin, sludge texture, and theatrical excess all coexist within a single film’s world.
The pages are divided into two types. Solo and character pages reward careful reading of each character’s specific surface and palette logic: Chihiro’s warm everyday tones, No-Face’s dark restraint, Haku’s coolness, the River Spirit’s sludge, Yubaba’s ornate excess. Duo and scene pages ask you to place those radically different palettes in the same composition and make them read as belonging to the same world. The simpler Chihiro and Cute Chihiro pages suit younger fans; the detailed River Spirit sludge texture and Yubaba ornamental pages give older fans more to work through.
These pages work well at home or as Studio Ghibli fan art. The Spirited Away pages are fan-made and are not official, licensed, or endorsed by Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, Toho, or any rights holder of Spirited Away. The Nezuko crossover page is fan-made and is not official, licensed, or endorsed by the rights holders of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Quick Answer
Spirited Away coloring pages are a free set of 30+ printable PDFs and online coloring sheets featuring Chihiro, No-Face, Haku, the River Spirit, and Yubaba across solo and duo pages. The set’s defining challenge is that each character operates in a completely different visual register: warm human tones, dark near-void, white dragon, dark sludge, and ornate theatricality all appear in the same session.

What’s Inside Spirited Away Coloring Pages
Chihiro Ogino Pages
Chihiro appears across the most pages in the set, covering solo portraits, a Cute Chihiro variant, and multiple duo compositions pairing her with the film’s other major characters.
Coloring Chihiro: Chihiro starts the film in her everyday clothes, a white shirt and green skirt, and changes into the pink hairband and pink work outfit she wears at the bathhouse. Her skin is a warm, ordinary human tone, and her dark brown hair is tied loosely. She is the only conventionally realistic character in the set, and her palette anchors every duo page she appears in: her warm everyday tones are the visual ground against which No-Face’s darkness, Haku’s paleness, and the River Spirit’s sludge read. On solo pages, the challenge is maintaining that warm ordinariness without letting it become flat: slight warmth variations in the skin and the careful placement of her dark hair against her light shirt keep the figure from losing dimension.
No-Face Pages
No-Face appears in solo pages and in duo compositions with Chihiro, pairing a nearly featureless dark figure with the film’s most human and warm character.
Coloring No-Face: No-Face is one of the most coloring-instructive characters in this set precisely because almost nothing is there to color. His body is a dark near-black with a translucent quality suggesting depth rather than flat opacity. His mask is white with simple, minimal features. The discipline his pages ask for is negative restraint: making a figure that is almost uniformly dark read as vivid and present. The translucent quality comes from applying the dark grey-black with slight variation, slightly lighter at the outer edges of the silhouette than at the dense center. The white mask should stay clean and pure. On duo pages with Chihiro, No-Face’s darkness throws her warm skin and light shirt into strong relief: the more fully dark his tone is held, the more clearly she reads beside him.
Haku Pages
Haku appears in solo pages and in duo compositions with Chihiro, including a trio page that also includes Yubaba.
Coloring Haku: Haku appears in two distinct forms in Spirited Away: his human form, a boy with dark hair, pale skin, and a pale green traditional outfit, and his dragon form, a long, sinuous, white creature with pale greenish undertones and a flowing mane. The pages in this set may show one or both forms. In human form, his pale skin and dark hair create a cooler, more restrained palette than Chihiro’s warmth. In dragon form, the long white body benefits from very subtle cool grey-green shadow tones that give the scales and curves their shape without pulling the white into a full grey. On duo pages with Chihiro, the contrast between his cool pallor and her warmer tone tells the story of their different origins within the spirit world.
River Spirit Pages
The River Spirit appears in solo pages and in multiple duo compositions with Chihiro, and is the most texturally complex subject in the set.
Coloring the River Spirit: The River Spirit arrives at the bathhouse covered in centuries of accumulated pollution, and his design is built from layers of dark sludge rather than any clean surface. The palette is dark grey-brown at the base, shifting to murkier grey-green and near-black in the deeper sludge layers, with occasional warmer brown-amber notes where older organic matter shows through. The texture comes from working with these muddy tones in variation rather than as a flat fill: slightly lighter areas suggest the surface of each sludge layer, slightly darker areas suggest depth between them. On duo pages with Chihiro, the visual contrast between the River Spirit’s dark, sludge-covered mass and Chihiro’s ordinary warm figure is among the most striking in any Studio Ghibli image.
Yubaba Pages
Yubaba appears in two pages: a solo portrait and the Haku, Chihiro, and Yubaba trio composition.
Coloring Yubaba: Yubaba is the theatrical extreme of the set. Her design is deliberately excessive: an enormous head with elaborate coiled hair on a tiny body, draped in opulent dark clothing with ornamental details. Her skin is an aged, warm tone with strong features. Her hair suits deep tones in the warm brown-to-grey range with gold or amber ornamental pins. Her clothing benefits from dark jewel tones, deep teal, burgundy, or near-black with embellishment that reads as the elaborate wardrobe of someone who controls the bathhouse and wants everyone to know it. On the trio page with Haku and Chihiro, her ornate excess contrasts with Haku’s cool restraint and Chihiro’s warm ordinariness.
Crossover Page: Chihiro and Nezuko
One page in the set pairs Chihiro Ogino with Nezuko Kamado from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. This is a fan-made crossover pairing two beloved anime characters from entirely different franchises.
Coloring this page: Nezuko has very distinctive coloring: dark black hair with warm orange-red gradient tips, pale skin, pink eyes, and her bamboo muzzle. Her pink kimono with hemp leaf pattern and dark haori contrasts with Chihiro’s lighter, more everyday outfit. The crossover page works best when both characters are given their correct, franchise-specific palettes: Nezuko’s vivid pink-and-black against Chihiro’s warm everyday tones. The Nezuko pages are fan-made and not affiliated with the rights holders of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Printable PDF and Online Spirited Away Coloring Pages
Every design comes in two ways: a printable PDF for paper, or the same artwork colored on screen.
Using both formats: print the PDF when you want a clean sheet for colored pencils, fine-liners, or markers, and use the on-screen version when there is no printer nearby. The PDF holds the film’s atmospheric linework and character detail cleanly on standard letter or A4 paper.
What These Pages Do
No-Face asks for almost nothing: a dark near-void with a white mask, the opposite of what most character coloring practice demands. The discipline this demands is negative restraint: a figure can communicate presence, menace, and emotional weight through strategic darkness rather than through color. The translucent dark grey applied carefully, slightly lighter at the silhouette edges, denser at the center, with a clean white mask held spare and untouched, is harder to execute convincingly than any complex texture because it requires knowing when to stop. That skill, making a dark, simple figure vivid through restraint rather than addition, applies to any illustration involving silhouette, shadow, or any character whose power comes from what is withheld rather than what is shown. From here, cartoon coloring pages are the parent hub, and Studio Ghibli coloring pages and My Neighbor Totoro coloring pages offer the closest thematic parallels.
The American Art Therapy Association identifies the muted, atmospheric palette of Studio Ghibli films as having a particular meditative quality: the restrained, slightly desaturated tones that Spirited Away uses throughout its spirit world ask for sustained, attentive color work rather than bold, expressive fills. Working with these tones builds the focused, absorptive concentration the Association associates with creative activities that genuinely settle the mind. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports creative activities that engage younger children with themes of resilience and growth: Chihiro’s journey, captured across these pages, follows a child who finds courage and capability in an unfamiliar world, and the portrait and solo pages make her accessible to younger children as a coloring subject while the film’s themes remain present in the images.
How to Color Spirited Away Coloring Pages
These steps work for any page in the set, from a simple Chihiro portrait to the full character group pages.
Read each character’s surface logic before placing any color. Chihiro: warm human skin, dark hair, light everyday clothes. No-Face: translucent dark near-void, white mask. Haku: cool pale skin or white dragon with grey-green undertones. River Spirit: layered dark sludge in grey-brown to murky green. Yubaba: aged, warm skin, ornate, dark, opulent clothing. These five logics do not share a common approach; identifying which one applies before coloring prevents the characters from merging into a generic anime palette.
On No-Face pages, apply the darkness with slight variation rather than as a flat black. The translucent quality of No-Face’s body comes from a dark grey-black applied slightly lighter at the outer silhouette edges and denser at the center. This creates the sense of depth within the darkness rather than a solid wall. Keep the white mask clean and untouched.
On River Spirit pages, build the sludge in layers. Start with a dark grey-brown base across the whole figure, then add murky grey-green and near-black in the deeper recesses between sludge masses. Occasional warm brown-amber notes in the older organic matter break the uniformity. Varied application of the dark tones, slightly lighter on raised surfaces, darker in crevices, gives the sludge its layered depth.
On Haku’s dragon pages, use very subtle cool grey-green shadow tones. The white dragon’s body needs shading to read as three-dimensional, but the tones must stay pale and cool: warm shadows would turn the white toward cream, losing the luminous quality that distinguishes Haku’s dragon form. Apply the shadow tones lightly in the concave curves and between the flowing sections of the body.
On duo pages with mixed palettes, place the darker or more complex element first. On Chihiro and No-Face pages, establish No-Face’s darkness before Chihiro’s warmth so you can calibrate her tone against his. On River Spirit and Chihiro pages, place the sludge tones first so Chihiro’s warm skin reads in relief against them.

FAQ About Spirited Away Coloring Pages
Are these Spirited Away coloring pages free, and can I color them online?
Yes. Every page is free, with no account, email, or payment required. Download the PDF to print at home, or color the design on screen in the browser.
Which characters are included?
The set features Chihiro Ogino, No-Face, Haku, the River Spirit, and Yubaba across solo and duo pages, plus one crossover page pairing Chihiro with Nezuko from Demon Slayer.
What is Spirited Away?
Spirited Away is a 2001 animated film by Studio Ghibli, written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It follows Chihiro, a ten-year-old girl who becomes trapped in a spirit world and must work at a bathhouse to find a way to free herself and her parents. The film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2003. You can read more about Spirited Away on Wikipedia.
What colors should I use for No-Face?
No-Face’s body is a translucent dark near-black with subtle depth rather than a solid flat black. Apply the dark grey-black, slightly lighter at the outer silhouette edges, and denser at the center, to suggest translucency. His mask is clean white with minimal features. Keep the white untouched and let the dark body provide all the contrast.
What colors should I use for the River Spirit?
The River Spirit is covered in layers of accumulated sludge: dark grey-brown as the base, murky grey-green and near-black in the deeper sludge layers, with occasional warm brown-amber notes in the older organic matter. Work with varied tonal application rather than a flat fill: lighter on raised sludge surfaces, darker in the crevices between layers.
What is the Chihiro and Nezuko crossover page?
This is a fan-made page pairing Chihiro Ogino from Spirited Away with Nezuko Kamado from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. It has no connection to either official franchise. Color Nezuko with her correct palette: dark hair with warm orange-red gradient tips, pale skin, pink eyes, and her distinctive pink kimono with dark haori.
Are the pages suitable for younger children?
Yes. The Chihiro, Cute Chihiro, and simpler duo portrait pages suit younger children well. The River Spirit sludge texture pages, the No-Face restraint study, and the Yubaba ornate detail pages are better suited to older fans who want more technically demanding work.
How do I color Haku’s dragon form?
Use white as the base for the dragon’s body and add very subtle cool grey-green shadow tones in the concave curves and between the flowing body sections. Keep the shadow tones pale and cool rather than warm: warm shadows would pull the white toward cream and lose the luminous quality that defines Haku’s dragon form.
Are these official Spirited Away coloring pages?
No. They are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use. They are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, Toho, or any rights holder of Spirited Away.
What crafts can I make with these pages?
Popular options include a No-Face restraint study, a Chihiro and No-Face contrast, a River Spirit sludge texture study, a Chihiro and Haku duo, and a Spirited Away cast display.
