Hi, it’s Junko from Japan! You might be wondering, “why does Mitsuri have a revealing uniform?” or even, “why does Mitsuri dress like that?” Is it a common style in the Taisho era, the stage of Demon Slayer? Of course, NO.
Who Made Mitsuri’s Uniform?
The reason why Kanroji Mitsuri’s uniform is so revealing was revealed in an extra short comic published in the Demon Slayer manga book vol. 12. The backstory showed who gave mitsuri her uniform. It’s Maeda Masao of the Demon Slayer Corps.
The glass guy in the picture is Maeda, a tailor who made Mitsuri’s uniform. As you can see, he’s a member of the Kakushi troop.
For your information, Maeda shows up only in this extra comic and doesn’t appear in the main story. Yet he’s well known among Japanese fans since his nickname had a strong impact.
Maeda is called GESU MEGANE by other members. ‘Gesu’ means “jerk” or “asshole” in Japanese slang. ‘Megane’ is for eyeglasses. So the nickname Gesumegane represents a “jerk wearing glasses.” It’s not an honorable name.
Mitsuri’s Uniform Backstory
When Mitsuri became an official swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps, Maeda prepared a new costume for her and secretly arranged it into a sexy and skimpy design. Mitsuri was confused but he insisted that it was normal and official, and she ended up being convinced.
After Mitsuri met Kocho Shinobu in the Hashira meeting, she found that Shinobu’s uniform was not revealing at all. Shinobu was also provided the sexy costume by Maeda but she burned it up in front of him.
Finally, Mitsuri knew the fact that other swordsmen were given normal uniforms, and only her uniform was special. With her financial power and authority as a Hashira, it might not be difficult to let a new uniform be tailored.
But she kept wearing the revealing one. Maybe she was too busy to care about the clothes? Or it might be easy to move and wasn’t so bad.
