Bring gentle anime charm to your sewing with this portrait-style design of a smiling spiky-haired ninja boy holding a white cat inside a neat rectangular frame. The forehead protector with its spiral leaf emblem, whisker-like cheek marks, high collar and shoulder strap make the character instantly recognisable to anime and manga fans, while the cat softens the whole piece into something more companionable than combative. With 11 thread colours working through greys, warm browns, yellow, orange, green and small red accents, it has a layered, character-led look that suits fans who want more than a simple silhouette.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design, it works best on stable fabrics that can carry the detail cleanly, such as denim jackets, canvas totes, sweatshirt backs or the front of a sturdy hoodie. The white cat, silver-toned headband and dark linework give you strong contrast, so the face, jacket and border stay readable even when stitched on deeper fabric colours. It is an especially good choice for anime-themed clothing, convention bags or a gift for someone who loves the softer side of ninja characters.
