The aura itself often appeared similar to the demon curse that initially infected his body.Īshitaka is very stern and determined to achieve his goals, not allowing his setbacks to stop him from curing his curse and saving his village. This signified his anger or the anger of those around him, and occasionally caused the muscle mass of his arm and body to momentarily increase. His curse often manifested as a glowing blue and black aura on his right arm. After San's attack on Irontown, Ashitaka has a slash scar on his left cheek where San slashed him with her dagger. He wears his fiancée's crystal dagger (In the English dub, everyone calls each other brother and sister, even if they are not related) before he gives it to San. He wears a cloak made out of hay for a small portion of the movie. He also wears blue arm sleeves and a red hood to cover his face. His clothing consists of a blue top and peach-white pants, as well as brown bottom warmers and shoes made out of fabric. His hair is dark brown and he has greyish-brown/brownish-grey eyes. His hair then has a layered cut with wild bangs cut over his eyebrows. At the beginning of the movie, Ashitaka is depicted as a handsome young man who has long hair that is tied into a bun, but he cuts it off after he is told to leave the village.
