25 Best Anime Girl In Kimono of All Time

Today I bring some traditional content for all the anime fans out there. As we all know Kimono is perhaps the most traditional cloths of Japan.

This attire is very elegant as well as full of simplicity. But you know what’s make it more interesting apart from everything.

The Anime characters that wear all type of Kimono which suits their personality and you know a character or two that is identified for their traditional Japanese Kimono. And that’s not even limited to female characters. 

So, I prepared a list of anime girl in kimono, and this list I want to share the absolute rock in kimono. Without further ado, enjoy the list!

25. Kamazuki Suzuno From Hataraku Maou

The innocent-looking next-door neighbour of Maou Sadao, who is actually pretty innocent.

Suzuno seems to have “learned” most of what she knows about the human world by watching period dramas, which explains why she wears clothes from that time period.

This also means that she wants everything about her life and preferences to be traditional Japanese, with the possible exception of her huge holy hammer.

24. Shindou Ayaka From Kyoukai no Kanata

What’s not to like about being a Kansai-speaking gentle fox youmu in the anime?

Well, she might do some business that isn’t the best from time to time.

But when things get tough, she is always ready in her mind to make it through.

At times, even by using force.

She is also with her equally cute little sister, who can also look good in a yukata.

23. Nora From Noragami

At first glance, she might look like a cute, simple shinki.

Even though her kimono is simple, it has a design that makes it stand out. This gives her a somewhat friendly air.

But underneath that flirty smile, she can use people to get what she wants and has held grudges against them for a long time.

She does eventually turn around. But not until she faces all of the things that made her that way in the first place.

22. Souma Ritsu From Fruits Basket

What? You thought there wouldn’t be any traps on this list?

Ritsu, like Chihaya, doesn’t always wear kimono.

But when he wants the most mental comfort, a kimono is the first thing he’ll put on.

Even though he started dressing less and less like a woman as he changed, the quiet, soft-spoken Yamato nadeshiko in a green kimono that Tohru had first thought he was would always be his most memorable look.

21. Kirihime Yoruka From Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut

12 kirihime yoruka 25 Best Anime Girl In Kimono of All Time

Yoruka is one of the two really “aggressive” women in the series. She wears a kimono in a way that is different from how a gothic version would look, with only smaller frills.

Even though her Koto princess robes are great for hiding, they are not good for personal stealth.

It might be possible to use it to sneak up on the young Drag-Knight we want so much.

20. Kamado Nezuko From Kimetsu no Yaiba

13 kamado nezuko 25 Best Anime Girl In Kimono of All Time

Nezuko’s cute and delicate movements make everyone fall in love with her, including Tanjiro, of course.

Just look at how her bright pink eyes match the hemp leaves on her kimono.

Plus, she can change her size as she wants.

Men of culture really had a field day.

Oh, but don’t ever try to make her angry, even if she doesn’t eat people for lunch. Trust me.

19. Kuon From Utawarerumono series

The smart-alecky, stubborn, but very caring Kuon might not look like much… But her life in the world of Utawarerumono is completely different from anything else.

Most likely even more than her father’s.

Her kimono is a bit more like the kimonos we’re used to than her guardians’ because it was based on the kimono her late mother wore.

18. Kokkuri-san From Gugure Kokkuri-san

Okay, I get that Kokkuri-san isn’t the first anime character to be a cute white fox girl.

But he does have one thing that makes him stand out on this list: he looks great in a kimono as both a man and a woman.

With Kokkuri-san, you can choose between the original Ono-D version or the Uryocchi version of the kimono.

17. Izumi Kyouka From Bungou Stray Dogs

Yes, before you ask, Kouyou will not be on this list because Kyouka is on it.

She might be as cute as a doll, but she is no longer a doll.

Who could say no to those short, precious moments of pure happiness outside of her dangerous job?

Well, she did keep being quiet and serious.

After all, her kimono is red for a reason. But don’t ever tell Atsushi that!

16. Himura Kenshin From Rorouni Kenshin

18 himura kenshin 25 Best Anime Girl In Kimono of All Time

Himura Kenshin the battousai is another katana-wielding badass from an anime. He may have been made from the same block of marble as Goemon.

Since Rurouni Kenshin takes place in the Meiji period, his hakama might not stand out too much.

But at the moment, Japan is literally at a crossroads between being a country from the Middle Ages and a modern, industrialised state.

This means that traditional kimono are no longer worn as everyday clothes, a process that will take a century.

15. Ishikawa Goemon From Lupin III

19 ishikawa goemon lupin3rd 25 Best Anime Girl In Kimono of All Time

Goemon is one of Lupin III’s most powerful and loyal allies. He is the thirteenth member of his clan and shares the same name as their legendary ancestor.

Well, he wasn’t actually very loyal at first.

But Lupin earned his respect in the end.

As a modern swordsman, he has skills that are almost superhuman. He and his hakama stand out like a sore thumb in any heist or adventure Lupin plans to pull off in the West.

14. Glass From Tate no Yuusha Nariagari

Glass is one of the newest characters on this list. He is a mysterious person who says he was called from another isekai. The anime version of the story just aired a few seasons ago.

If you were looking for someone who would stand out with their kimono, it would be Glass causing trouble in the kingdom of Melromarc.

Pretty much the same as another dragon lady in a black kimono, but a lot more weird. We’ll talk about her later.

13. Emma Ai From Jigoku Shoujo

But can I do anything about it?

No matter how many evil souls she takes across the Sanzu River, she deserves to be here.

12. Ayase Chihaya From Chihayafuru

Chihaya Ayase, the queen of karuta, is we all love.

Kanade should have been the one to represent this series at first, since she knows the most about traditional hakama-style kimono.

But I chose the captain of the Karuta Club at Mizusawa High School instead.

She doesn’t always wear kimono, that’s true.

But karuta is pretty much her whole life. During official tournaments, she can’t play without wearing a traditional kimono.
