As mentioned earlier, on May 21, 2025, the Reddit user @Faid_Eyren posed a series of pictures of her cosplaying as the young Tsugoko, Kanao Tsuyuri, to commemorate her birthday on May 19. The cosplay perfectly captured the essence of Kanao's simplistic yet serene looks and aesthetic setting from the Demon Slayer series.

What left the fans even more awestruck was the cosplayer's addition of butterflies in one of the shots, to perfectly replicate Kanao's essence. Kanao's character was seen throughout the series, accompanied by butterflies whenever she was in the Butterfly Mansion. The butterflies are an essential part of her character that serves as an aesthetic setting and a portrayal of her character.

Apart from the butterflies, @Faid_Eryen also captured the apparel and background essence of the character perfectly. Every article of her clothing was a perfect match to Kanao's, even small details like the red ribbon she used to tie her white cloak and the butterfly hairpin she used to separate her ponytail, a recurrent object used by every member of the Butterfly Mansion.

While some fans were left debating whether the butterflies were real or visually added post-edit, they all undoubtedly praised the efforts and enjoyed the quality of the post in unison.
