Building Katanas really is a wild ride. Its incredible how vastly different the methods are for each material. So far I've built one out of steel, one out of hardwood and one out of foam. The methods are really interesting
@@ronnietheboywonder it’s like a whip in the manga, but still a sword? I don’t know how to explain it. It’s serval meters long and she’s the only one able to use it
I just so happened to have a build commission for a unrelated cosplay sword build that I was considering using some EVA foam for contact surfaces. This has so many great tips for makers just by showing products and how you're doing it. Thank you so much!
Kinpatsu really be saving lives out there with these tutorials. I was unsure of what method to use for making Tsuyuri Kanao's katana with what I have but this is perfect for me 🤩
Really amazing result!! I need to find a primer like that cause it really makes the work look so clean and professional, and an air brush would be amazing too but ohh expensive 😂
theres some really cheap ones on amazon that do the trick! if you do a youtube search, people that made tiny models for warhammer made a video on it and they dont seem that bad!!
2 years after and this is still such a great help. Because of this video, I was able to craft my Maki Zenin's Reed Katana and am currently crafting the Sode no Shiroyuki Zanpakuto for my Rukia cosplay! Thank you thank you, you legend! 😭💖
@@cathyang-ke3cx hello fellow bleach fan!! and fellow rukia cosplayer?? 🥺 hahaha my sode no shirayuki is coming along good bc of this tutorial really!!
@@micchiki2430 omg that’s awesome! did u add a bell? i was looking up a few references and they all have bells on them, i kinda want to but i’m scared they’re gonna be noisy 💀
Hello! I'm 15years old korean girl who loves your videos♡ I am a amateur cosplayer. As I loooove to making outfits, Whenever I have a hard time making costumes, your tip helps me. Well, I just wannna say I'm always thx for your making tips! XD (Translator is not used. Please understand if there is anything strange)
OMG this ist the first Video i saw for a Katana to make thats looks easy and very understanding even so it´s in english ;.; now i can make my Katana thwn with its method thanks~
AMAZING! I'm cosplaying for the first time as Shinobu from Demon Slayer and my boyfriend will be Giyu, so I plan to use this technique for our katanas! SO helpful! Thank you so much!
Excellent watch! Found it because I want to make Yami's katana from Black Clover. I find the masking difficult to do properly at times though, wish you showed a bit more of that like the wavy lines
Tip for anyone who does this: air spray the prop in a well ventilated area, or outside as some fumes may be toxic. I think this is common sense, but some people don’t know to do this! It’s just a friendly reminder. Stay safe and make some jaw dropping cosplays!
How to say aluminum ~ You win that battle mme ~ oooof ! GREAT TUTORIAL !!!! Its been about 15 years since last cosplaying; but to see how far the community has come is amazing.... Back in the day there were no tutorials; and most people didint have easy access to all these materials. ♡ Ah evolution in motion. Nice to meet you and your channel btw.👋
I've always heard videos of people adding inserts to foam but have never seen it!! This is SO HELPFUL because I'm going to be making TFA Blackarachnia's spider legs and had no idea how to make them sturdy :0
This is a great tutorial, thank you! I'm completely new to this but want to try making a couple daggers/swords as a test for myself but was wondering how to do it (Think thicknesses of foam, the inner piece to keep it rigid, that stuff) and this video explained it! I think I can make my own props, they might be a bit janky, but it's a start!
The result is amazing ! Do you have a video to create the katana sheath (saya) ? I am working on the cosplay of Ashitaka from Mononoke, but my sheath is horrible 🤣😓
We don't have a video for a sheath yet but we could try to make one in future! :3 we do have the instructions for the sheath as part of the mitsuri cosplay tutorial book! It shows step by step pictures for the sheath with explanation there!
I appreciate this so much. Going to be making Yami’s katana from Black clover and couldn’t figure out making it not bend. Do you have a tutorial for the scabbard or is it basically the same as the sword with the 3 layers?
We didn't have a video for this sheath! But it's something we can look at doing next time! :3 but we did include instructions and step by step photos for the sheath in our mitsuri cosplay tutorial book.
YOGA Cosplay has a series of katana tutorials for different cosplays, including demon slayer characters. They include sheath tutorials, I’m sure you can adjust his tutorial to fit with the katana made by Kinpatsu
thank you for this beautiful video! I will be able to work my sand with all your great tips! Too bad about the scabbard, do you have a video that explains it?
How did she make the sheath/scabbard for the blade? Edit: She should totally do a hatsune miku cosplay tutorial! (Especially how to do her put the hair accessories on the wig so they look like their holding up the twintails without touching them. Also, her headphones as well as Rin and Len's and Luka's)
I made my tanjiro katana with 2 sheets of 3mm (i think) wood. They sell it at craft stores, i think it was 0.70€ per 1! I did basically everything the same, but withoutadding a rod, since the wood is pretty sturdy on its own. The paint job in this is so good thooo and I didnt know that if I heat up the foam it would get smooth again after sanding!! Thanks for that! 🌟🌟
Awesome video! I'm working on a Grimmjow cosplay from Bleach and I'll be using some of the things from this video for his katana. Keep up the great content.
I wish more People watched your cosplay tutorials. They are so good.
Yes!
The thing is a lot of them are female cosplays and there are a lot of male anime lovers
Yes
You're right
Me not having any of the materials but still watching: 👁👄👁
I'd like this comment but it's at 69 thumbs up
@Renna Giles same

Me too

This is awesome, thank you. Can't wait for the new season of Demon Slayer and to see more Demon Slayer cosplays!
Manga readers: ✋😭
@@user-lj6ls3vx4o the show or what do u mean
I don’t cosplay I just want a sword. But I mean I was thinking of doing a kny cosplay soooo
I am absolutely in awe of this craftsmanship, thank you for sharing this with us!
i love how their outfit always relates to the cosplay
Building Katanas really is a wild ride. Its incredible how vastly different the methods are for each material.

Hard to believe that’s foam though it looks so real 🤩
wow this is one of the cleanest DIY prop i've seen!! amazing work
you make everything look so easy, i'm so jealous
Mitsuri's sword is soft and bendy according to the manga and also it's longer than her body. That looks so realistic tho-
Maybe skip a few steps and make the foam longer for manga accuracy? 🤓
@@ronnietheboywonder it’s like a whip in the manga, but still a sword? I don’t know how to explain it. It’s serval meters long and she’s the only one able to use it
@@ronnietheboywonder in the manga it looks like a ballet ribbon but sharper so i dont think foam is gonna do the work :v
A few of the demon slayers have weird swords, like shinobu, gyomei, mitsuri and snake man
@@mythicalbeast3791 gyomei uses a dang wrecking ball
THIS IS SO COOL! I really wanted to make giyu's sword but was clueless how to so this is so much help thankyou!!

AMAZING! I'm cosplaying for the first time as Shinobu from Demon Slayer and my boyfriend will be Giyu, so I plan to use this technique for our katanas! SO helpful! Thank you so much!
Wow that sword is absolutely gorgeous. You should make and sell custom swords
Excellent watch! Found it because I want to make Yami's katana from Black Clover. I find the masking difficult to do properly at times though, wish you showed a bit more of that like the wavy lines
You can use a cheap yoga mattress as well, for extra durability. It's what we use to make foam practice swords in HEMA classes.
She makes it looks so easy
Thank you so much for this! I'm making a spirit from Dbd cosplay and she uses a ketana! I will definitely come back to this video
Tip for anyone who does this: air spray the prop in a well ventilated area, or outside as some fumes may be toxic. I think this is common sense, but some people don’t know to do this! It’s just a friendly reminder. Stay safe and make some jaw dropping cosplays!

This couldn't have come at a better time for me!!
My next D&D character uses Daishō, so I'll be making a katana!! Thank you so much for this :3
I've been stumped on how to make my 2B sword (virtuous contract) stiff but still thin, so this should be super helpful!
Omg I just found this video and I am trying to make this weapon as well!
Wow that sword is so beautiful
This is way too good, wow, thank you for sharing your tips, it looks amazing!
my kaedehara kazuha cosplayed arrived earlier this afternoon, so i'm gonna make a sword to go with it with this method. thank you so much!!!
This sword is perfection
It doesn’t even look like it’s made out of foam! Wow!
That totally light up the way for my Deadpool katanas, extremely easy! Tysm
Thank you for making this tutorial. Finally someone makes a sword with actual foam.
Glad it was helpful!
This is so useful!!! Now i know what ill need when i make my own katana for this Oni cosplay im going to make
I just randomly found you and i love it I get TO COSPLAY

Who is ready to con crunch a katana? Only with Kinpatsu can I succeed!

I’ll definitely try this if I’m ever trying to make one of the Hashiras katanas. Thank you 😄
Awesome video, will you be showing the diy of the case/holder?
THANK YOU!!! I don't do cosplay but I do make props for shows and your video saved me!
This could be a very nice practice katana, thanks for the tutorial!
wow that's cool, looking forward to making my first katana
I've always heard videos of people adding inserts to foam but have never seen it!! This is SO HELPFUL because I'm going to be making TFA Blackarachnia's spider legs and had no idea how to make them sturdy :0
Wow, that looked so amazing, you are really very tallented. Thanks for teaching us.
This helped significantly for a Sephiroth sword I made. Thank you!
Hi!!! Thank you for all of your videos 💕

Good morning, and how do I make the katana sheath? Thank you very much your video explaining was very great
I'm using this for my vorpal blade! especially the first part. thank u!
Woah, I've been tempted to build a random weapon like a katana or another sword lately, now this is tempting me even more T^T
Amazing :0
This will definitely help me make shinobu's katana :3
Hi,
It looks great!!
Please continue this profession of yours
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I need to make Tomioka Giyu's nichirin sword for a cosplay on Saturday and this was super helpful
yeah this is actually kinda healpful for my tanjiro final selection cosplay thanks!!
Im planning on crafting a katana for my 2B cosplay for the Dokomi this year
NICE!
I will do the tomioka katana for myself! Thanks for tutorial.
Thank you! I almost gave up on cosplaying her because I couldn't figure out the sword
Well done i only watched 2 minutes of the video and it looks amazing even tho its foam in the future this could help me!
This is a great tutorial, thank you! I'm completely new to this but want to try making a couple daggers/swords as a test for myself but was wondering how to do it (Think thicknesses of foam, the inner piece to keep it rigid, that stuff) and this video explained it! I think I can make my own props, they might be a bit janky, but it's a start!
You did a great job on making a cosplay katana sword out of EVA foam.
The result is amazing ! Do you have a video to create the katana sheath (saya) ? I am working on the cosplay of Ashitaka from Mononoke, but my sheath is horrible 🤣😓

Y’all are literally amazing and a life saver 😩 keep up the good work :)
Absolutely incredible!!! I love this so much!!
This is literally so perfect! I'm starting a Kamui Gakupo Cosplay soon and I was worried about how I was gonna make his katana AHHHHHH💕💕
I love these tutorials! So helpful! Thank you sm!!
a tip also if you have some clouth around the Rod it wont risk percing the foam as easy :)
For a katana the disc between blade and hilt is called a tsuba
truly amazing! thank you for making this video you guys are awesome!
Aluminum.
Respect to the man that discovered it.
Hey can u do Tonjiros katana? I would like to do a Tonjiros cosplay so that would really help 😁
I appreciate this so much. Going to be making Yami’s katana from Black clover and couldn’t figure out making it not bend. Do you have a tutorial for the scabbard or is it basically the same as the sword with the 3 layers?

finally- a mitsuri sword tutorial
Yes! I really needed to learn how to make this!!!
It's wonderful! Could you make other swords or cosplay of Demon Slayer, pleaaase
I made my tanjiro katana with 2 sheets of 3mm (i think) wood. They sell it at craft stores, i think it was 0.70€ per 1! I did basically everything the same, but withoutadding a rod, since the wood is pretty sturdy on its own.

WAIT OMG IM GOING TO MAKE THIS BUT FOR MY OWN DEMON SLAYER CHARACTER IM SO EXCITED
Wait as in you are making your own character and not one that’s in the show!?! That’s cool!
This just suggest, can do video different types for cosplay and pick right one for your cosplay ?
This was so awesome as a tutorial I am now lost because I am still a hobbyist
Ahh do you have any tips on making the sheith?
Will the alluminum rods be strong enough for me to swing the sword around and just mess with it? Will the alluminum bend in the sword?
