When 84-year-old calligrapher Tsunaori Sakaguchi found out that his work was used in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, he exclaimed: “I’m so happy!”
Tsunaori Sakaguchi was informed by his grandson that his fonts, Kagero typeface, Toryu typeface, and it’s variant Kokuryu typeface were used for the Hashira introduction in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Sakaguchi runs Showa Typeface, a shop in Kagoshima that creates fonts from the calligraphy work he does.
