Shinobu is the Insect Hashira, part of the nine Hashiras that are the strongest and highest ranking in the Demon Slayer Corps. She's 18 years old, 4'111⁄2", and 82 lbs. Her birthday is February 24th. Her hair color is black to purple and her eye color is purple. Her combat/breathing style is Insect Breathing. This is Shinobu's equipment... Stinger Nichirin Katana: Shinobu carries a heavily modified Nichirin Katana forged by Tecchin Tecchikawahara, chief of the Swordsmith Village. It is the same as any katana from the handle to slightly above the hilt, but above that, the weapon loses its blade and is replaced by a rod. It ends in a needle-like tip, resembling an insect's stinger in appearance and function. The "stinger" is designed for injection of wisteria poison into demons, as Shinobu uses her medical expertise to replace her relative lack of strength and inability to decapitate demons. Her katana's handguard is designed to bear resemblance to a four-petaled aqua-colored flower, trimmed with orange. The blade is lavender-blue in color, with the words Evil Demon engraved on the right face, while the words Destruction are engraved on the left face due her sword's structure. Along with her katana, she has also modified the weapon's sheath, using it as a portable poison mixer and loader.
