The role decides who your OC fights beside, and the breathing style or Blood Demon Art decides how they fight. Pick one of each and the rest of the character falls into place.

Demon slayer
Recruits join the Demon Slayer Corps by surviving seven days of Final Selection on a mountain full of captured demons. Survivors start at Mizunoto, the lowest of ten ranks, and get the black corps uniform, a talking Kasugai crow that delivers orders, and a Nichirin blade forged for them.
Final Selectioncrow partnerten ranks
Hashira
The strongest swordsmen in the Corps, ranked above Kinoe, the top regular rank. A slayer earns the title by killing fifty demons at Kinoe or by killing one of the Twelve Kizuki. Each Hashira is named for their style, like the Water Hashira, and some train a chosen successor called a tsuguko.

Breathing styles
Total Concentration Breathing is what lets a human swordsman keep pace with demons. Sun Breathing came first and branched into the rest. Water, Flame, Wind, Thunder and Stone are the five basic styles; Flower and Serpent grew from Water, Love from Flame, Sound from Thunder and Insect from Flower. Each style is a set of numbered forms.

Nichirin blades
Swordsmiths forge every slayer's sword from a rare ore, and the blade changes color the first time its owner draws it. The color hints at their style: blue for Water, red for Flame, yellow for Thunder, green for Wind, grey for Stone. Black blades are rare and carry an unlucky reputation.

Kakushi
The Corps' cleanup brigade. Kakushi clear battlefields, carry wounded slayers to the Butterfly Mansion and guide visitors to the Swordsmith Village. They hide their faces under hoods and cloth masks and stay out of the fighting, which suits an OC who is brave without a sword.

Demon
Every demon was once human and was turned by Muzan Kibutsuji's blood. Demons heal from almost any wound, and the stronger ones have a Blood Demon Art, a power unique to each demon. Sunlight, a beheading with a Nichirin blade or wisteria poison will end them.

Twelve Kizuki
Muzan's twelve strongest demons: six Lower Ranks with the rank engraved in one eye, and six Upper Ranks with it in both. Fans often call them Lower and Upper Moons. Muzan kills off most of the Lower Ranks partway through the story, so a new Lower Rank OC fits the lore.

Names and techniques
Name your slayer, pick a technique
Slayers in the series go by a given name and a family name, and fans remember them by their signature technique. Mix a name, then pick a breathing form or a Blood Demon Art. Every click goes straight onto your OC in the generator.

How to make a Demon Slayer OC
Whether you call it a Demon Slayer OC or a KNY OC, a strong one comes down to five decisions. The generator handles the drawing; these are worth making first.
- 1
Pick a side first
A slayer, a Hashira, a Kakushi and a demon live very different stories. A rookie slayer has Final Selection and a first mission ahead; a demon has a human past it barely remembers. Choose the role and let the rest follow.
- 2
Build the breathing style around one form
Pick a style, then describe one signature form in a single line, like "a low spinning cut that leaves a ring of droplets". If you invent a style, branch it from one of the five basic ones (Water, Flame, Wind, Thunder, Stone) so it fits the lore.
- 3
Match the blade to the style
A Nichirin blade takes a color that hints at its owner's style, so a Water user with a blue blade reads right at a glance. Describe a guard shape in Extra details, such as a snowflake or a hexagon, for a detail fans will notice.
- 4
Design a haori nobody else wears
The haori is the first thing fans recognize, so stay away from the main cast's patterns: green and black checks, yellow triangles, half-and-half panels, butterfly wings and flame hems. Pick one pattern and one main color, and keep the rest of the outfit to the black corps uniform.
- 5
Give them a rank and a reason
Many slayers in the story joined after losing someone to a demon. Choose a rank from Mizunoto to Kinoe, write one line on why your OC fights, and for a demon, tie the Blood Demon Art to something from their human life.

Demon Slayer OC maker FAQ
Yes. A free account comes with credits, enough for several characters, and every image costs the same small number of credits after that. No card is needed to sign up.
A Demon Slayer OC maker on Picrew is a dress-up game: you stack parts one artist drew, so every result shares the same pose and pieces. This Demon Slayer OC creator is an AI generator that draws a new picture from your choices, so the haori, the blade and the breathing effect come out as your own. Think of it as a Demon Slayer character creator that does the drawing for you.
Yes. KNY is short for Kimetsu no Yaiba, the Japanese title of Demon Slayer, so the two names mean the same series. This KNY OC maker works under either name.
The Breathing style picker has the five basic styles (Water, Flame, Thunder, Wind, Stone), the other Hashira styles (Mist, Serpent, Love, Insect, Sound), plus Flower, Beast, Moon and Sun. Pick Original to invent your own and describe its first form in the Signature technique box.
The Corps has ten ranks: Mizunoto at the bottom, then Mizunoe, Kanoto, Kanoe, Tsuchinoto, Tsuchinoe, Hinoto, Hinoe, Kinoto and Kinoe at the top. The Hashira sit above all of them. New slayers start at Mizunoto after Final Selection; pick Hashira in the Role picker for a top-tier OC, or write any other rank in Extra details.
Yes. Pick Demon as the role and describe a Blood Demon Art in the Signature technique box. Demons in the series were once human, so a power that echoes their old life reads well. For a Twelve Kizuki OC, Muzan kills off most of the Lower Ranks partway through the story, which leaves seats open for a new one.
Give them one strength, one real weakness and a fight they could lose. The common trap is stacking everything at once: Sun Breathing, a black blade, a Hashira title at fourteen and a tragic past. Keep one rare trait at most and let the rest be ordinary.
In the series the blade changes color the first time its owner draws it, and the color usually matches their style: blue for Water, red for Flame, yellow for Thunder, green for Wind, grey for Stone, pink for Love. A black blade is rare and has an unlucky reputation in the story. Set it in Blade color.
Yes. The Background picker has a wisteria mountain like the one used for Final Selection, a Taisho-era city at night, the Butterfly Mansion, the Swordsmith Village and the Infinity Castle. Keep Plain for a clean profile picture or reference sheet.
Full body is the default output, so your OC comes out head to sandals with the whole haori in view. Set Output to Ref sheet for front, side and back views with palette swatches, which helps when you design a haori pattern or hand the character to an artist.
Keep Anime for the look of the Ufotable TV series, with clean outlines and bold color. Pick Sketch for a pencil look closer to the manga pages, or Chibi for a cute version that works as a sticker or icon.
Posting your OC in fandom spaces, as a profile picture or in roleplay is what it is made for. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba belongs to Koyoharu Gotouge and Shueisha, so check their fan art rules before selling merchandise.
