How do you do Kokushibo's six eyes makeup?

Use skin-safe adhesive to apply prosthetic eyes, or paint them manually using red face paint for the sclera and yellow for the irises, using black eyeliner to define the eyelids and write the kanji in the center eyes.

What sword does Kokushibo use?

He uses a flesh-molded katana called the Kyoganzan, which is covered in eyes and veins. You can buy licensed foam replicas or modify a plastic katana with clay.

Is a Kokushibo costume hot to wear?

Because it involves multiple layers of fabric (kimono and hakama) plus a heavy wig, it can get warm. Opt for lightweight cotton or polyester blends to stay cool.

Makeup & hair

The makeup is the focal point: paint six eyes (the middle pair being your real eyes) with yellow irises and red sclera, adding the kanji for 'Upper Rank' and 'One' in the middle pupils. Style the wig into a high, messy ponytail with spiky bangs framing the face, featuring deep red tips.

Tips

If using face paint for the extra eyes, practice the application beforehand or use pre-made prosthetic transfers to save time.
Ensure your vision isn't obstructed by the makeup or wig bangs, especially when walking around crowded conventions.
Secure the heavy ponytail wig with extra bobby pins to prevent it from sliding backward during the day.
