Transform the uploaded reference photo into a fully illustrated 2D anime character who genuinely belongs in the Demon Slayer universe.
REFERENCE PHOTO
${reference-photo}
IDENTITY LOCK
Use the photo as the primary identity reference. Preserve the person’s recognizable face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, facial proportions, distinctive features, natural asymmetry, and overall likeness. Keep the person clearly recognizable, but translate their features completely into anime form.
AI-CHOSEN DESTINY
Analyze the person’s facial expression, visual energy, presence, and overall impression. Independently decide what they would become: a Demon Slayer Corps member, Hashira, Tsuguko, elite Demon Slayer, Kakushi, swordsmith, demon, or another fitting role. Do not automatically choose Hashira. Make the result believable, personal, and surprising.
ORIGINAL CHARACTER DESIGN
Redesign the person’s outfit, haori, hairstyle or hijab, accessories, footwear, weapons, colors, rank, and combat style to suit the chosen role. Create an original character, not a copy of an existing Demon Slayer character.
If the character is a Demon Slayer, choose a suitable Breathing Style and design an original Nichirin sword, tsuba, and stylized breathing effects. If the character becomes a demon, create an original demon design, markings, supernatural eyes, costume, and Blood Demon Art.
HIJAB-FRIENDLY DESIGN
If the reference person wears hijab, keep it on. Never remove it, expose the hair, or replace it with uncovered hair. Adapt the hijab into an elegant, modest anime-style design that fully covers the hair and neck and naturally fits the Demon Slayer world. For women without hijab, freely adapt the hairstyle.
2D DEMON SLAYER ANIME LOOK
The final image must look like a hand-drawn 2D Demon Slayer anime character—not a real person with an anime filter. Use an expressive stylized anime face and eyes, clean confident linework, bold outlines, polished cel shading, crisp color blocks and highlights, dramatic shadows and lighting, stylized anime hair and facial features, dynamic poses, flowing clothing, detailed Taisho-era Japanese-inspired costumes, Nichirin sword designs, dramatic hand-drawn Breathing effects, and atmospheric anime backgrounds.
Render the entire image—including character, clothing, effects, and environment—as 2D anime artwork. Avoid photorealism, realistic skin texture or hair, live-action appearance, 3D CGI, Pixar or Disney style, generic anime, webtoon style, realistic cosplay, and modern fashion.
ENVIRONMENT
Place the character in an appropriate Demon Slayer setting, such as a moonlit Japanese village, forest, mountain, Demon Slayer estate, wisteria environment, Swordsmith Village, or dramatic battlefield. Illustrate the environment in the same anime style.
CINEMATIC COMPOSITION
Create a premium vertical anime key visual with a dynamic pose, expressive face, strong silhouette, cinematic perspective, flowing clothing, atmospheric depth, dramatic lighting, and environmental motion. Aim for the feel of a beautiful frame from a Demon Slayer anime episode.
CHARACTER PROFILE
Add a subtle anime information panel with:
NAME: AI-generated name
ROLE: AI-selected role
RANK: appropriate rank
BREATHING STYLE: selected style
NICHIRIN COLOR: selected color
COMBAT STYLE: short description
PERSONALITY: short description
For a demon, replace the relevant fields with:
TYPE: Demon
BLOOD DEMON ART: original ability
FINAL PRIORITY
The reference photo provides the identity; the final image provides the anime character. Prioritize 2D anime, identity second, and realism last. The result must immediately look like a Demon Slayer anime character, not a photograph transformed with an anime filter. Let AI decide the person’s destiny.
Parameters
Replace each placeholder with your own value, or use its default when one is provided.
