Shinko Aburame has pale skin, straight black hair with spikes at the end, and onyx eyes. Despite his small size, he is quite muscular and fit. He typically only wears dark clothes, with his most common attire being a long dark robe that covers up pretty much all of his body except for the upper half of his face. On his robe, there is multiple small compartments for storing his ninja tools as well as other things. There is also a part of his robe that covers his mouth, dark grey lines separate it from the rest of the attire, it sports a unique skull with cross bones beneath it on it, making him look more intimidating and somewhat masking his voice when speaking.
