Here I got some idea on Kaguya design inspiration.

We knew Kaguya was one of Japanese folklore, but in actual folklore, Kaguya doenst look like this.

Actually she doesn't have any real design to begin with.


Thats why I conclude that NV Kaguya got her design inspiration from below picture. I mean Kishi got his inspiration from below picture and he just added Rabbit ears-like horns and colored her hair white

Above picture is Malay or Indonesion mythology ghost called as Pontianak(vampire/banshee in english)

The pontianak (Dutch-Indonesian spelling: boentianak, Jawi: ڤونتیاناک) is a vampiric ghost in Malay and Indonesian mythology. It is also known as a matianak or kuntilanak, sometimes shortened to kunti. The pontianak are said to be the spirits of women who died while pregnant. This is often confused with a related creature, the lang suir, which is the ghost of a woman who died while giving birth. The word pontianak is reportedly a corruption of the Malay perempuan mati beranak, or “woman who died in childbirth”.[1] Another theory is that the word is a combination of puan (woman) + mati (die) + anak (child). The term matianak means "death of a child". The city of Pontianak in Indonesia is named after this creature, which was claimed to have haunted the first sultan who once settled there.

Well..Kagaya is a woman..Kaguya in Naruto is a woman. Kishi made her a woman.
She is evil so kishi gave her a horn
she was supposed to have byakugan so it did rest of the thing to make her look ugly evil alien.

The Kaguya in the Tale of princess Kaguya movie grows up to be beautiful princess.

I know, but he must have a real life reference/inspiration for his character design.

Look at that ghost design, very similar to Kaguya and just added few things to resemble her perfectly.

Actually in my place that ghost actually looks like Kaguya without horn and white hair.
