Demon Slayer Reveals New Official Valentine’s Day & White Day 2026 Illustrations by Ufotable

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba revealed official new artwork for Valentine’s Day & White Day 2026, featuring illustrations of the characters as pastry chefs. Last year’s Valentine’s Day illustration featured Shinobu Kocho, Aoi Kanzaki, Nezuko Kamado, Kanao Tsuyuri and the Mitsuri Kanroji.

This year’s event is presented across two themed periods representing “different expressions of feelings.” Following mini character art and animal cookie plushies, the story now continues with pastry chef themed illustrations.

There will be merchandise including random acrylic stands, random gift tin badges, random animal cookie badges, thank you message sticker sets, gift box style mini files, quilted totes, and lollipop acrylic sticks. You can see the illustrations below.

The anime adaptation by ufotable began with a 26-episode Season 1, which aired from April to September 2019. Following its huge success, the sequel movie, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train followed in October 2020 and arguably began the entire anime movie boom.

The movie was then re-edited and shown as part of the 18-episode Season 2, which aired from October 2021 to February 2022. The 11-episode Season 3 aired from April to June 2023, while Season 4 aired from May to June 2024 and set the stage for the endgame. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime film series, Infinity Castle – Akaza’s Return premiered in Japan on July 18, 2025 and then went on a record-breaking run, earning over 25 billion yen (approximately 174 million USD) in the first 31 days.
