DHC is collaborating with the anime Kimetsu no Yaiba for the first time on a line of medicated lip creams featuring designs inspired by Kamado Tanjirou, Tomioka Giyuu, and other characters. The collection will go on sale at DHC mail order and DHC directly managed stores on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
About Kimetsu no Yaiba
Kimetsu no Yaiba is a manga by Gotouge Koyoharu that was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha). It follows Kamado Tanjirou, a boy whose family is killed by demons and whose younger sister, Kamado Nezuko, is turned into a demon. To turn Nezuko back into a human, Tanjirou joins the Demon Slayer Corps and throws himself into battle against demons. The manga spans 23 volumes and has surpassed 150 million copies in circulation.
The anime adaptation is produced by ufotable. The series began with the April 2019 TV anime Kimetsu no Yaiba Kamado Tanjirou Risshi-hen and continued with later installments, including the May 2024 TV anime Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Geiko-hen. The story following Hashira Geiko-hen is being produced as the three-part Gekijouban Kimetsu no Yaiba Mugen Jou-hen, with the first chapter, “Akaza Sairai,” released on July 18, 2025. A rerun of the entire series began on April 5, 2026.
Lip Care With Full Concentration
The first DHC x Kimetsu no Yaiba collaboration features medicated lip creams designed with characters such as Kamado Tanjirou and Tomioka Giyuu. The world of the series is expressed not only on the lip cream itself but also on the packaging. The limited designs are aimed at Kimetsu no Yaiba fans as well as anyone who wants to enjoy daily lip care.
Drawing on the series’ “Zenshuuchuu” (Total Concentration) idea, the collaboration is meant to make everyday lip care feel like a full-focus effort. The lip creams are formulated to prevent chapped and dry lips while keeping them moisturized, making them a recommended item for the dry season ahead.
Three Designs: Cute, Black, and Natural
The lineup includes three types. “Cute” features colorful mini characters, including Kamado Tanjirou and others.
“Black” is a stylish design that features the Demon Slayer Corps’ Hashira with powerful gazes.
“Natural” boldly presents the pair of Tanjirou and Giyuu in a design that is easy to use every day.
Purchase Bonus and Random Designs
Purchases at DHC mail order and DHC directly managed stores come with a DHC original Kimetsu no Yaiba sticker. The original hologram sticker sparkles and shows Tanjirou and his companions surrounded by olive illustrations.
The collaboration also adopts a random specification for the first time in a DHC product. In addition to the three basic designs, special designs that add characters will appear at random. Which design customers receive is a surprise until they open the package.
