“#Game Director Ikumi Nakamura Recreates Demon Slayer’s Hinokami Dance in Live-Action”

Popular game director Ikumi Nakamura, known for being the lead on the upcoming Ghostwire Tokyo and designer on Okami, revealed on Twitter today that she directed and conceptualized a small YouTube video recreating the Hinokami Kagura dance from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, injecting her trademark Japanese horror-like elements seen in her video game work.

I took on the challenge of recreating Hinokami Kagura from Kimetsu no Yaiba for the dance video. The location where the video was shot, Kamado Shrine in Kyushu, Japan, is rumored to be the origin of Tanjiro Kamado. #ヒノカミ神楽 #鬼滅の刃 #DemonSlayer https://t.co/ljgQhBgH7g
