Shinobu was a short, fair-skinned girl with red lipstick, short black hair with purple extensions at the tips, which was wavy and had bangs parted at head length, and two long sideburns on her ears. Her eyes were special, having a purple coloration with a composite appearance similar to those of insects since they have no pupils. Shinobu kept her hair combed at the back of her head in a flat yakai-maki bun, secured with a white, turquoise, and light purple butterfly ornament. Shinobu was quite short in stature and was often described as a small and weak-looking person, which is later reinforced by her claim to not possess the physical strength necessary to cut off a Demon's head like the other Pillars. According to Zenitsu, Shinobu's beauty alone would have been enough to earn a living. His Nichirin sword had a custom design, having a butterfly-shaped guard, and the cutting edge missing from its blade because he lacks the strength necessary to cut off demon heads. However, the sword is designed to inject poison made from wisteria flowers, which compensates for his lack of physical strength. She wore the standard Hunter uniform consisting of a straight-lined purple-dyed black jacket with black hakama pants tucked into a butterfly-patterned kyahan fabric around her legs and purple zori sandals. She also wore a gray haori with a butterfly wing pattern, fading into a turquoise and pink color at the sleeves; said haori belonged to her older sister Kanae. When she was younger, her hairstyle was shorter, with a single long sideburn on each ear, and she wore a white haori and did not wear lipstick.
