KIMIMARO
君麻呂 · 屍骨脈 · Shikotsumyaku
Shinobi of the Kaguya clan, marked by his lineage of indestructible bone and a presence as imposing as it is silent. His look combines rawness with an almost ritual precision: bone shapes, pale tones, visual fragility over brutal strength.
- 骨honebone
He can turn his own skeleton into weapons, armour or projectiles.

Reference
Bone, and a piece of field kit.
Two dots on a forehead, a skeleton that becomes a weapon, and an American football jersey. The distance between those things is the work.
![The two dots · [YURINEHUEN]](/brooket/kimimaro/kim/mb-frente.jpg)
The two dots
On his forehead, the sign of his clan and lineage. They end up as two stars.
![The bone · [YURINEHUEN]](/brooket/kimimaro/kim/mb-huesos.jpg)
The bone
Hard, pointed, almost immaculate shapes. The typeface comes from here.

The character
White and lavender. In his original outfit the lavender sits mostly at the waist.

The jersey
NFL-style garment: dropped shoulder, wide sleeve, sleeve patches.

The numbers
The number on the back is the garment's own convention. The capsule uses 00.

Colour board
Bone white. And the lavender of his clothes.
The same codes as the original colour board. The white stands directly for the hardened bone that is part of his identity; the lavender picks up the tone of his outfit and appears on collar, hem and numbers; the black is left to the type and the patches.

From paper to flat
The same garment, twice.
On the left, what was written by hand: purple, bones, and five stars on the back. On the right, the same thing resolved, with two. The sketch does not always win.

A jersey, not a costume
I chose the white jersey because it works as a base for what is most characteristic about him: his bones, his singular anatomy, his almost immaculate look. A garment that does not imitate a costume. It translates one.
The white is the bone
I chose white as the main colour because it stands directly for the hardened bone that is part of his identity.
Gothic type
I set the name Brooket in a gothic face, using its rigid, pointed forms as a visual reference to the character's bone-like nature.
The B logo
I added a logo built on Brooket's B, to bring movement and reinforce the street-sport approach.
The lavender, where he wears it
In his original outfit the lavender sits mostly at the waist. So I applied it to the bottom of the garment, the collar and the numbers on the back.
Two stars, not five
The sketch had five stars. I changed them to two, as a nod to the two dots on Kimimaro's forehead: the sign of his clan and of his singular lineage.
The prints
Four graphics. Not one of them is a drawing of a bone.

Rigid, pointed forms. The bone reference lives in the typeface, not in an illustration.

The B logo
Brooket's B with a star inside. It brings the sport dynamic the gothic face does not.

Back

The number on the back, in double stroke, in the same lavender as the collar and the hem.

Two stars
The two dots on Kimimaro's forehead, translated into the convention of a field jersey.
What was taken out
The sketch had black details on the front simulating the bones. I removed them so as not to overload the design: the garment already makes that reference. Designing here meant taking away, not adding.
Translation
El boceto tenía detalles negros al frente que simulaban los huesos. Los eliminé para no recargar el diseño: la prenda en sí ya hace esa referencia. Diseñar acá fue sacar, no agregar.
Pantone 11-0602 TCX · Snow White. The ground of this sheet is the garment's own tone of the whole jersey.
A garment that does not imitate a costume but translates one: restrained, hard, precise, built to carry strength without excess.
