Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Gyokko had a very bizarre and grotesque physiology, taking on the form of a pale white, abstracted, grotesque humanoid figure with a muscular upper torso that has no arms and resembles that of an armless statue growing from a porcelain vase, similar to a djinn. His midsection is a red-violet color while his lower-half, or his tail is black. He had multiple underdeveloped and infant-like hands with red fingernails; four on his head that replaced his ears and were always present, and several lining up his body and tail which he can retract at will. He also possessed thin fins on the top and back of his head that were akin to hair, which were of a blended hue of purple and a blue-violet color and shaped in the style of cornrows and a ponytail.
Gyokko's face was even more distorted, with large green-lipped mouths located where one would expect his eyes sockets to be located, which always displayed his hyperrealistic teeth and sometimes had one of or both of his tongues sticking out. His actual eyes were located vertically from one another on his face; one eye appeared in the constantly open bottom mouth and the other was seated at the center of his forehead. Three dots were on top of the latter eye. The kanji for Upper Rank ( 上 弦 , Jōgen ? ) was engraved on his forehead's eye and the daiji for Five ( 伍 , Go ? ) was engraved on his mouth's eye. In addition, his twin green mouths are generally expressionless and only move when speaking or eating, while the mouth that displays his lower eye is the one that contorts to display Gyokko's emotions.
When in battle, Gyokko was shown to molt and transform into his true form, which bore heavy resemblance to that of a merman . In this state, Gyokko retained his facial features and muscular physique but now possessed a more humanoid body covered in transparent scales akin to a fish He also grew much larger, attains a mane of longer fish tail-like hair, dark markings on various places around his body, webbed hands with turquoise blue scales, and a long serpent-like tail in place of his legs. In addition, the mouth which displays his lower eye has 4 stitches, with 2 on each side, giving it a rag-doll like appearance.

Gyokko was shown to be an easily excitable demon, constantly fawning over new inspirations for what he deems his "art" or what he finds to be sublime, sometimes even going against his initial impressions. He was easily swayed into euphoria whenever Muzan was involved, trying not only to please him, but finding joy in being decapitated and having his head held by Muzan. Although he was dismayed he would have to work together with Hantengu , he nonetheless reasoned it was fine since Muzan ordered it. He also seemed to be somewhat sardonic and condescending; upon sensing Akaza 's presence within the Infinity Castle, he almost let out his inner feelings to the demon about being glad he believed him to be dead before correcting himself mid-sentence, even if Akaza was not fooled by his false support.

Gyokko enraged at Muichiro's insults towards his vase.

Gyokko was also short-tempered, shallow, and arrogant, especially when it comes to things regarding his "art", as seen when he was easily enraged by Muichiro when the latter began to insult and make fun of the quality of his art to the point of bleeding from his blood vessels out of sheer fury, and through his conversation with the Hashira, constantly praised himself as "beautiful" and his work even more so, further reinforcing his arrogant and narcissistic personality and even insulting Muichiro as an "ape" for not appreciating his art. His arrogance was most prominently displayed after he was beheaded by Muichiro Tokito , referring to the Mist Hashira as an inferior and lower life form while calling himself a superb and chosen being. [3]
Gyokko revealed himself to be incredibly petty and jealous, as seen when he attacked and mutilated Hotaru Haganezuka due to his jealousy of the latter's focus and dedication to his work, surpassing his own zeal when working on his own art and made him want to instead make the latter lose his focus and waste time on the swordsmith due to this petty jealousy.
While demons usually have a scornful view on humans, Gyokko's misanthropy was to the extreme. When Muichiro endured several poison needles from his Blood Demon Art to protect Kozo Kanamori and Kotetsu , he degraded their lives as "worthless" and mocked Muichiro for his decision. Moreover, when beheaded, Gyokko made an impassioned rant decrying Muichiro's inferiority as human and claiming that he had used his "godly hands" to turn the worthless lives of humans into art.

Gyokko's "creation", made up of mangled, still-living victims.

Gyokko had a particularly morbid sense of taste, which was showcased when Doma told him he placed a human head on top of his pots like a plant; although Gyokko was slightly taken aback since the pot was not made with such an intention in mind, he nonetheless approved of such use and decided to use it as further inspiration. The extent of this morbid and violent obsession for his was shown even more when he brutally attacked several swordsmiths and used their corpses to create a "beautiful" piece by mangling their bodies together along with sticking several swords into them.
His extreme sadism was further exposed when he went into great detail of explaining his "artwork"; from the many distorted body parts that stood out, to the built-in "feature" of being able to twist a stabbed sword in order to cause extreme pain and bleeding to one of the mangled swordsmiths, demonstrating he not only left his victims unnaturally alive, but that unlike other Upper Ranks, Gyokko liked to draw out his victims’ suffering. In addition, when first meeting Muichiro, Kozo, and Kotetsu, he presents himself as a chivalrous host presenting an art piece, but his his delighted expression when witnessing the villager's horror to "Death Throes of the Smiths" made it clear that his courteous behavior was a façade for his own amusement.
As a human named Managi, his disturbed and violent mind was evident since childhood. His morbid sense of beauty and artwork was seen when he thought the corpses of his drowned parents were beautiful, and when he killed and skinned animals and fish to use for his art pieces. His fragile pride was demonstrated when the mere teasing of a village child enraged Managi enough for him to murder the child and stuff the corpse in a vase, the incident which caused him to be nearly lynched before turning into a demon by Muzan.

Gyokko's uncharacteristic unease.

Despite his notorious depravity and arrogance Gyokko could have occasional moments of rationality. He hesitated in allowing Doma to accompany him into the Swordsmith Village knowing that it would be without Muzan's explicit permission, and was disturbed at Akaza lopping of Doma's head in retaliation. When Doma was distracted, Gyokko immediately ordered Nakime to teleport him to his destination before he could ask again. In addition, although at first envious of Hotaru's concentration, he questioned the swordsmith's sanity after he continued honing his blade after being knocked back by Octopus Vase Hell .


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Gyomei is a hulking figure among the Demon Slayers. He is one of the tallest characters in the series, easily towering over his fellow Hashira. He is powerfully built and extremely muscular. He has spiky black hair and a prominent scar running horizontally across his forehead. Having been blind since childhood, he has white eyes with no visible irises or pupils. His eyes frequently tear-up when he gets emotional.
Gyomei wears a black and white uniform typical of a Demon Slayer, with bandages over his shins resembling kyahan and white zōri with an olive green happi draped over his shoulders. The collared frame of the happi contains the kanji for the Japanese Nianfo /Shin Buddha chant ( 南 無 阿 弥 陀 仏 , Namu Amida Butsu ? ) from the top-down, along with the separate kanji all over at the back. He also sports a large-beaded necklace around his neck and carries a set of ojuzu beads when he is not engaged in battle.
He sustains a scar across his forehead after being slashed by a crescent moon blade from Kokushibo. [5] His left leg from the knee below was later severed during the battle against Muzan. [6]

Gyomei embodies the gentle giant archetype, being surprisingly soft-spoken and sensitive, despite his outwardly intimidating appearance. He is also shown to be quite pious, carrying his prayer beads at all times and offering prayers in poignant situations. Most notably, Gyomei easily cries over the most insignificant things, accentuating his rather soft nature. This could be due to his love for all living creatures brought about by his religious upbringing, and insinuated when he felt so disgusted by beating up a demon that he would never forget that feeling for the rest of his life.
Like the rest of the Hashira , Gyomei has a great deal of respect for Kagaya Ubuyashiki , of which no small part was due to the Oyakata saving his life. He is also one of the most respected individuals among the Demon Slayer Corps, not only due to being a member of the Hashira but because he serves as a symbol of hope due to his immense strength: Shinobu Kocho had once stated that when Gyomei fights, it puts everyone around him at ease. [7] Furthermore, Gyomei serves as a leader for them, as seen when he sat at the front during Hashira meetings and was often looked to for his word and opinion. [8] He was entrusted by Kagaya to give out orders to them, due to both Gyomei being the oldest and because Kagaya had known him for the longest out of anyone outside his own family.
Though he maintains a fairly reserved disposition, Gyomei harbors a very objective and somewhat suspicious view of the people around him, owing to his experiences before becoming a Demon Slayer. He is ever-cognizant of what others, particularly children or those younger than him, are capable of if given the opportunity. By reason of his doubtful nature, it can take a while for Gyomei to completely accept and trust others. When he does open up and let others in, he is unwavering in his commitment to them.

Gyomei uncharacteristically taunting Kokushibo for hiding a deep secret.

Gyomei greatly values the principles that allowed him to achieve his status as a Hashira , rejecting Kokushibo 's notion that he must become a demon in order to preserve the physical abilities and skills he had devoted himself to, and retorts his statement by saying that being a Demon Slayer means accepting the fact that seeing tomorrow is not guaranteed and that no one can become a Hashira with Kokushibo's half hearted resolution. As with Kyojuro Rengoku , the Stone Hashira also believes that living and dying as humans preserve one's dignity, and he even took the Upper Rank's statement as an insult and demanded the demon does not force his self-righteous belief onto him, further accentuating how dearly he holds onto his values. Additionally, despite his generally reserved and polite disposition, in that moment, angered by Kokushibo's outright rejection of his humanity, Gyomei taunted him for lying about the fate of those who have gained the Demon Slayer Marks, prodding the demon for hiding the fact that someone has likely lived past the age of 25 and laughing at his visible apprehension. [9]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Gyutaro was a tall man of fairly muscular build, with a pale gray complexion speckled with black blotches. His anatomy was quite strange in that his upper torso, arms, and legs were all defined with musculature, whereas his waist was incredibly skinny to the point of looking skeletal, with his pelvis jutting out at an unnatural angle. His spine was prominently visible through his back, and he was usually shown being hunched over. Gyutaro possessed thin eyes that were slanted drastically downwards at the sides, giving him a permanently haggard gaze. His miotic irises were green with a dark orange center, and his sclera was a bright yellow-orange with visible veins. The kanji for "Upper Rank" ( 上 弦 , Jogen ? ) is carved across his right eye, and the daiji for "Six" ( 陸 , Roku ? ) carved on his left. He had unruly black hair that transitioned to a brighter lime green around the crown of his head, worn messily in uneven bangs and several locks. His body and limbs had noticeable ink-like markings in the form of black spots on his body and a flowing water-like pattern on his face. He also had a full set of sharp, interlocking teeth. Gyutaro was described to look very ugly. [7]
Gyutaro wore little, only sporting a pair of baggy blue pants and seven pieces of pattern red cloth to decorate his body, one large one around his neck and three smaller ones around each arm.
As a human, Gyutaro had similar facial features as he did as a demon, notably the ink-like blotches on his face. He also possessed the same strange contorted anatomy and hair that he had when he turned into a demon. His eyes were notably bloodshot and were a pale blue color, with visible veins lining his sclera, and he had missing and uneven teeth. He was seen wearing a dirty, tattered kimono when he was a child, but after Ume was born and he started working for a brothel as her collector, his clothes changed to  a short-sleeved wide-striped kimono with a notably cleaner and firmer fabric. He remained barefoot in both his lives as a human and a demon .

Gyutaro was cruel, ruthless, petty, and envious of anyone blessed with a better life than him, owing to a life of near-constant poverty and the harsh tragedies he experienced whilst human. He developed a habit of sarcastically complimenting a person's best traits before vindictively killing them afterwards, as he did to the samurai who attempted to kill him and Tengen Uzui after seeing his appearance. Because of the hardships he faced as a human, Gyutaro attained a personal belief that to take from those who have a better life than he had as a human was justified. A habit that developed from this belief was the penchant to inflict harm to himself whenever he was angry, frustrated or jealous, as seen when he scratched himself hard enough to tear deep wounds into his own flesh when he grew jealous of Tengen.

Gyutaro laughing at Tanjiro's failure to save anyone.

Having lived over a hundred years and battled many Demon Slayers and Hashira , Gyutaro became arrogant and prideful in combat, developing the habit of underestimating his opponents and looking down on them as beneath him, as he did with the team of Demon Slayers dispatched to kill him by having his sister fight and deal with them first rather than himself. He has also showed himself to be intensely sadistic, revelling in the defeat of the Demon Slayers by horrifically injuring them and tormenting the helpless Tanjiro for his own enjoyment.
Despite his negative traits, Gyutaro possessed a genuine, strong love for his younger sister, Ume . Having raised her himself due to his mother's mental instability and later death, this familial love was so strong that, even after becoming a demon and nearly forgetting his life as a human, he still retained a considerable attachment to her. Due to this, he occasionally spoilt and allowed her to do whatever she pleases, even if her actions went against his best interests. However, his love for her did not stop him from screaming and insulting her out of frustration. When he first exposed himself, he tenderly attended to his sister's cries and injuries, both praising her efforts while insulting her lack of intelligence.

Gyutaro's promise to be by Daki's side no matter what.
Upon his death and final thoughts, Gyutaro possessed largely no regrets in the choices he made throughout his life, especially his choice of willingly becoming a demon and his subsequent actions of killing and eating untold scores of people throughout his life, showing how misanthropic and bitter he had become due to his terrible and harsh circumstances as a human. However, he later recognized that the only true regret he holds in his life was his sister, Ume, showing that deep down, Gyutaro regretted that his negative influence through how he raised her was the cause for her growth into a selfish and possessive person.
During his final moments, Gyutaro wondered if she could have experienced many other wonderful things and lived many different lives without having to walk on the path of becoming a demon if he wasn't in her life. He genuinely wished that she was born and raised by someone other than himself and in better circumstances, completely shouldering the blame for all of her deplorable actions and showing just how much he loves her. In death, Gyutaro was shown to have Ume's best interests at heart by telling her to go to the opposite direction where the light was, showing that he wished Daki would have a fresh start to a new life without his bad influence.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Hairo was a relatively tall young man with an athletic build. He had very spiky black hair with two chin-length bangs. As a member of the Twelve Kizuki, he had the kanji for Lower ( 下 , Ka ? ) and the daiji for Two ( 弐 , Ni ? ) etched on his left eye. Hairo also had many black spike-like patterns framing his face.
He wears an Western-style light colored suit with a black buckled belt with saggy pants and black boots. Over this, he wears a black cloak similar in appearance to a cape with protruding collars. Finally he wears a white sailor hat with a wolf emblem on its front center. He was frequently seen wielding a revolver.

Hairo was sadistic, vengeful, and ruthless. He did not care for the numerous innocent lives in Tokyo, or that of the Demon Slayers assigned to find him, only focuses on his revenge against the Flame Hashira who tormented him. Hairo was also a skilled torturer, recalling in his holding of Mitsuri that he knew the human limits when under extreme pain and he planned to use his experience to torture her before he would kill the young Demon Slayer. Most of all, his anger towards Shinjuro Rengoku essentially controlled who he was and blinded him from seeing that the Demon Slayer facing him was not the same man from the past but his son. Such was his fear of Shinjuro that Hairo believed that his entire life was dictated by anger and fear since that day, even remarking that he might die of sheer indignation. He had a habit of shooting himself in the head or mouth to alleviate his tension and anger when faced with a stressful situation.
In his battle with Shinjuro's son Kyojuro , Hairo was initially motivated by his false belief that he was facing Shinjuro; upon realizing he was mistaken, he seemingly lost most of his rage and motivation for revenge. Additionally, despite his proficiency in using guns, Hairo seemed to despise them, as during his last confrontation with Kyojuro, the demon wielded a katana to face him after running out of ammunition. In that moment, Hairo showed pride in his swordsmanship and demanded the Demon Slayer duel him and be allowed to kill him with a blade. In his final moments, Hairo even acknowledged that Kyojuro's swordsmanship surpassed his own.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Hanako was a young girl with black, shoulder-length hair and fringe above her eyebrows. She had large, dark red eyes with white pupils and pale skin, much like the rest of her family.
Hanako wore a peach Iromuji kimono with a pale pink haori worn over it. She also wore a dark peach obi with a pink obijime and a beige-colored obiage . Under all of this, she wore a white juban .

Hanako had an amazing bond with her family, she loved her oldest brother and sometimes liked to seek attention from him. Like her other siblings, she was upset about not being able to go with her brother to the village. She is also seen helping her family do household chores, and scolding her siblings if they did something naughty.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

The Hand Demon was a monstrously large, veiny, hulking monster with olive green skin, blood red fingernails, and beady yellow eyes with cross-hatch shaped pupils. He used to have a very normal humanoid appearance, with regular hair and clothes, but after he started devouring 50 humans, he started growing in size. He grew multiple arms and his mouth became huge, with jagged teeth. He grew so many arms that not only was he forced to stop wearing his clothes, using his arms instead to cover himself, he stopped moving around in a bipedal manner, instead moving on all his hands like an animal.

The Hand Demon as a human The Hand Demon as a younger demon

The Hand Demon was ruthless in his treatment of humans, immediately killing them and even attacking the ones who fled. [2] He bore a great hatred for Sakonji Urokodaki , cursing him for defeating and trapping him in the wisteria -riddled Mount Fujikasane , [3] and vowing to kill all of his apprentices for revenge. [4] He was also very sadistic, gleefully explaining his murder of Sabito and Makomo to Tanjiro Kamado . [5] Despite this, the Hand Demon had a deep fear of death, being too afraid to close his eyes after Tanjiro beheaded him. [6]
When he was human, he had a habit of asking his older brother to hold his hand, a trait which made his sibling label him a scaredy-cat. [7] In his final moments, the Hand Demon extended a hand to Tanjiro for him to hold, shedding tears of gratitude when his request was granted. [8]
He seemed to have a notable tendency to keep track of time, as he asked Tanjiro if it was still the Meiji era , and when told it was the Taishō era , he raged that he had passed into a new era, again, and that he was still trapped on Mount Fujikasane for 47 years.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Similar to the rest of her family, Hinaki had pale skin and large, purple eyes. She had white, shoulder-length hair styled into a blunt bob with bangs and sported a red ribbon on the right side of her head.
Hinaki was usually seen wearing a dark blue Hōmongi kimono decorated with purple flowers along with a maroon obi and a pink obiage and juban under everything, nearly identical to her twin sister with her sister Nichika.

Hinaki was usually very quiet, but kind. She loved her father very much and was loyal to him even to the point of dying alongside him. Kiriya describes his older sister as smarter and more skilled than him.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Hinatsuru is a young woman of average height possessing a curvaceous and slender figure with long black hair that she generally keeps tied back into a ponytail. She has big, almond-shaped violet eyes framed with thin eyelashes and eyebrows and a distinct beauty mark located beneath her left eye, giving her a gentle and kind appearance.
Hinatsuru wears a short, sleeveless lavender dress with an irregular square pattern of a darker color, which has a plunging neckline that exposes her cleavage, and secured tight with a red-violet colored obi where she presumably stores her kunai . She wears brown fishnet socks that reach up to her mid-thigh along with light colored sandals with purple straps.
In a flashback, she's also seen wearing long, fingerless fishnet gloves.
When retired, Hina wears a more modest version of her usual dress that covers her legs.

Hinatsuru's personality is very similar to that of Tanjiro Kamado . Kind, calm, and nurturing, even when dealing with her co-wives' antics towards each other, much like the latter when dealing with Zenitsu and Inosuke's antics.
Due to her more understanding and calm personality, Hinatsuru often serves as Tengen's emotional bolster, in ways Makio and Suma cannot. Despite only being slightly older than the two, she displays far more maturity and often acts to mediate situations between them, as seen when Hinatsuru spoke with Makio about Tengen and how he lives his life differently to that of traditional shinobi, despite Makio's confusion.
Though generally quiet and kind, Hinatsuru became angry with Suma and Makio fighting as Tengen lay dying of Gyutaro's poison. She also expressed annoyance when Obanai demeaned Tengen for his efforts just to kill the weakest of the Upper Ranks.
Like her co-wives, Hinatsuru has a soft spot for Tanjiro, due to his monumental aid in the Entertainment District, offering  him kind words during his training, and wishing the best for him in his battle against Muzan.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Hiroshi was a boy of average height for his age, with large round blue eyes and a light skin tone. His hair was shaved along the sides, except for a small crop at the top of his head styled into a mohawk. He bore a great resemblance to his brother Genya and his mother.
Hiroshi wore a navy blue kimono and grey pants.

Hiroshi was a loving and caring child, much like his siblings. He became worried for his mother's safety when she did not come home and decided to stay up all night till she arrived, eagerly rushing to greet her when she came home eventually.
He also loved his siblings in the same way, as he addressed his older brother Genya when he awoke up to see him awake and Sanemi gone.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Hisa is a short, old woman with wrinkled skin and thick eyebrows. Her bulky, gray hair is tied into a medium sized bun with two strands poking out behind her ears.
In most of her appearances, Hisa is seen wearing a plain maroon kimono with a purple obi with black zōri and white tabi socks .

Hisa comes off as a very kind and welcoming person, bringing in the injured Demon Slayers without hesitation and providing them with commodities for recovery. Despite Inosuke Hashibira 's impolite nature, she proved to be very patient with him and doesn't appear to be affected by his remarks. [1]
Inosuke noted that even with his enhanced perception, Hisa's kind demeanor made it impossible for him to detect her presence because she bore no ounce of ill-will towards him.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

The Horned Demon has shoulder length black hair, with a center split and a single horn in the middle of his forehead. He has distinct red eyes with vertical pupils, slanted in an upward position, as well as thick protruding lips.
The Horned Demon had a large physical build, with visible veins displayed on the majority of his body. He wore green hakama pants with a brown vest.

The Horned Demon was prideful and confident, as seen when he showed no hesitation to attack at the sight of Inosuke Hashibira , even boasting about the fact that he'd soon taste Inosuke's flesh and sarcastically complimenting his attack. However, his pride and lack of caution quickly became his downfall as he underestimated Inosuke, showing a lack of ability to properly size up his opponent before fighting them.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Hotaru wears a sunflower-patterned haori and has his head wrapped in a spotted head scarf. Like the rest of the swordsmiths, his face is concealed by a Hyottoko mask (wooden festival mask) to conceal his identity. When traveling he wears a large, woven hat with hanging floral wind chimes on top of the head scarf.
During the Swordsmith Village Arc , he is seen with a more muscular build compared to his initial appearance after he had been training in the mountains. [3]
Unmasked, Hotaru is revealed to have long, black hair coupled with sharp eyes and distinctly-shaped thick eyebrows. [4] However upon being attacked by Upper Rank Five, Gyokko , Hotaru now possesses several deep scars and cuts from the demon all over his body, including an X-shaped one on his face, and has now lost the use of his left eye.

Hotaru unmasked (Manga). Hotaru unmasked (Anime).

Hotaru is a rather hot-blooded individual. He seems to show very little care, if any, about anything besides the swords he creates. His passion for swords is so strong that he would be able to speak about them for long periods of time, a trait unique even among other swordsmiths.
The same passion that gives him the enthusiasm and extreme dedication in creating swords is also the reason why he is easily enraged (usually in a comical fashion) towards swordsmen that break his creations, especially Tanjiro Kamado , no matter the circumstance. [5] When angry, he usually calms himself down by eating mitarashi dango . Bystanders can subdue him by either pinning him down or tickling his sides, as demonstrated by Kozo Kanamori , after which he will fall limp. [6]

Hotaru being tickled by Kozo to calm him.

As Hotaru is socially inept in dealing with people, he is still unmarried. His intense and asocial behavior also causes other swordsmen to hate him and he lost a lot of clients because of this. Although he won't be honest about it, he is actually happy that Tanjiro still trusts him in making his swords. [7]
His concentration on sword-making is so immense that it prevents him from paying any attention to his surroundings when forging a blade, even when a demon is attacking him and inflicting severe injuries on him. [8] When the process of forging or refining is interrupted by taking the sword away, he feels the need to restart the whole process from scratch again. As a perfectionist, any small scratch on a blade that is irremovable hurts him immensely. [9]
Despite his notorious asocial and volatile personality, he shows a more surprisingly pacified and rational side when a woman that Kozo, Tecchin, and Kotetsu attempted to matchmake with Hotaru degrades swords as antiquated and barbaric. Hotaru points out the perseverance that Demon Slayers display and the daily risks they face and proclaims that he is proud to forge swords for them, and frankly turns her down. This shows that despite his unruly personality, Hotaru does have a deep respect for the Demon Slayers. [2]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Inosuke is a young man of average height and pale complexion with an extremely toned and muscular build for his age. In sharp contrast to this, he has an incredibly pretty and feminine face, [3] with large, wide eyes that are framed by an array of long eyelashes, their iris a dark to soft pale green, thin eyebrows, and what could be a small, well-mannered mouth. His thick, raven-black hair reaches just past his shoulders, fading into blue at the tips and forming an unruly and uneven fringe that falls just above his eyes, puffing out before curving and thinning towards his forehead.
Inosuke, in his unique fashion, has customized his Demon Slayer uniform to suit his personal style. His altered attire consists of baggy hakama pants in a dark gray-blue shade, secured at his hips with a thick belt adorned with fluffy brown deer fur. [4] Unlike his fellow companions, Inosuke forgoes wearing a haori. Instead of the customary leg wraps, he opts for knee-high socks made from bear hide, [4] which serve as a base for the sandals he wears. Notably, his heels and toes are left exposed. However, the most distinctive aspect of his appearance is the gray, hollowed-out boar's head that he wears as a mask. Inosuke has modified the boar's head, altering the eyes to allow him to see while wearing it. [5]

Inosuke is short-tempered, confrontational, abrasive, and proud. He always likes to think he is the strongest fighter in a situation, constantly challenging most people he comes across and wanting others to respect and praise him for his skill. This often leads him into unnecessary danger since he tends to overestimate his abilities in comparison to who he's fighting and refuses to accept when he's been defeated, which can be seen when Giyu Tomioka has to tie him up after his fight with the Father to prevent him challenging the Hashira to a fight while still severely injured from his previous battle. [6] This constant wanting to be the best can also cause Inosuke to be very provocative, as he often tries to goad others, most prominently Tanjiro Kamado , into fighting him, although in the case of the latter he usually fails due to Tanjiro's obliviously kind nature. [7]

Inosuke's anger towards Doma.

Inosuke possesses a rather vengeful side to his personality, especially when the people he cares about get harmed. He refused to help the injured Train Engineer who stabbed Tanjiro and was convinced he was right in letting him die, only helping him when Tanjiro begged Inosuke to do so and forgave the man. He immediately attacked Doma upon learning he killed and devoured Shinobu, and he became truly angered when he found out Doma was also the one who orphaned him, challenging the Upper Moon by himself and declaring he would create hell for him. Most notably, he challenged Muzan directly and demanded he atone himself by dying for mutilating and nearly killing all the other Demon Slayers.
Due to him having been raised by boars, Inosuke has also been shown to possess little understanding of normal human interaction, at least at the time of his debut, as he seems to frequently assume that people who approach him want to attack him and doesn't appear to understand the kindness others show him. [8] He can't read or write and struggles to say people's names correctly, saying Monchiro instead of Tanjiro or Monitsu instead of Zenitsu. He can be very rude, without intention, and treat everyone as an enemy at first.

Inosuke feeling giddy from Tanjiro's kindness towards him.

However, as the story goes on, Inosuke is influenced more and more by Tanjiro's ways and becomes more accustomed to affection and generosity, learning to also acknowledge the strength of people besides himself and develop feelings of friendship towards him and Zenitsu Agatsuma , although he does still retain his proud nature and constant desire for praise. He also begins to think more strategically when engaging in combat, using smarter tactics he has picked up from more experienced Demon Slayers and not just rushing into fights head-on without thinking. Inosuke's sense of camaraderie drastically improves, best evidenced when he lunges at Muzan Kibutsuji while mourning the scores of Demon Slayers killed and maimed by the Demon King and demanding he return everything he took from them or else die as retribution for his crimes.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Jigoro was a short, elderly man with visible forehead wrinkles and large, slanted eyes, as well as a straight scar with even six prongs running along his right cheekbone. He had notably bushy eyebrows and a large moustache, as well as slick white hair that he wore smoothed down to puff out around the base of his head, with what would've been a fringe also swept back away from his face. Jigoro was also missing his right leg, with a wooden peg taking its place, this feature made more prominent in the anime than the manga.
Jigoro wore a jinbei kimono like the one worn by Sakonji Urokodaki , only with a yellow-brown base color and a pale triangle pattern in the stead of the blue and water-patterned theme Sakonji sports. He also carried a thick wooden cane with him to support his body due to age and his missing leg.

Jigoro had a steadfast devotion to his students and strict training. Despite his status as a strong mentor and experience as a previous Hashira , he had a soft spot and unwavering dedication towards raising the next generation of students. Due to this passionate devotion, he was filled with grief after discovering that his former pupil, Kaigaku , betrayed the Demon Slayer Corps and joined the ranks of the Twelve Kizuki .
Zenitsu Agatsuma noted that, despite how often he whined and ran away, Jigoro never gave up on him once. He had saved Zenitsu from a lifetime of debt and taken him on as a student, and, showing unyielding patience, was happy just to see Zenitsu master the first form of his breathing technique. He had a great belief in training skills to perfect through repetition comparing it to forging and purifying the steel of their swords. This strong fatherly love for his students is further shown when he shown to be both flattered and touched by Zenitsu's declaration of his love and gratefulness for all of his efforts put into forcing Zenitsu to improve himself despite everyone else abandoning him and deeming him worthless.

Kaburamaru is a medium-sized white snake with reddish pink eyes and one long fang on each side of his mouth. Kaburamaru is likely an albino Japanese rat snake. They are a non-venomous species found primarily in Iwakuni, a city located in the Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Kaburamaru seems to be a rather intelligent animal, not just an ordinary snake. In most situations, he is usually seen flicking his tongue to sense his surroundings while coiled around Obanai's neck. He also appears to be of similar personality to Obanai himself, as seen when he angrily hissed at Suma for chiding the Serpent Hashira for his late arrival to Yoshiwara . [2] He also seems to be attached to Mitsuri Kanroji , as she was seen stroking Kaburamaru in the past, and when he seemingly shed tears during her death. [3]
After Obanai's death, Kaburamaru appears to have mellowed out somewhat, as he was shown being entrusted to Sanemi Shinazugawa and later Kanao Tsuyuri , whereas he was initially always with Obanai from the beginning. He is also seen smelling Tanjiro Kamado 's face in curiosity. [4]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kagaya has light skin and black shoulder length hair. He has a curse mark that is slowly killing him that also makes his skin look as if it was rotting spreading down his face and covering his eyes, making him unable to see. The curse mark is lavender in color and makes the skin look shriveled. By the time of his death, this curse had spread all over his body making movement nearly impossible. In addition, Kagaya was prone to coughing up blood and his sclera turned into a sickly black (white in the anime). Muzan, at the moment of Kagaya's death, described him as having the calm smile of a Buddha.
He wears a plain black kimono secured with a tan-colored braided obi over a white juban. His also wears a white, calf-length haori with a unique design of gradient flames of the colors purple and salmon pink rising from the hem up to the half of the sleeves.

Kagaya at 14 years old. A younger Kagaya when meeting Tengen Uzui. Kagaya at the age of 23. Kagaya after his curse has progressed.

Kagaya has a calm demeanor, showing genuine care about the members of the Demon Slayers, considering them his children. He is also able to handle criticism well and is honest about his weaknesses; one being his inability to become a Demon Slayer despite being their main leader. In order to make up for this, he remembers every single member of the corps and visits the deceased members at their cemetery on a daily basis until he could no longer move due to his illness.
While he may seem lenient, he gives due consideration to reason and when a situation is clear of any biases, as shown when he willingly accepted the situation of Tanjiro and Nezuko (via a letter from Sakonji Urokodaki ) and even defended their cause when there are others who thought otherwise. His manner of speaking, while generally fluid and gentle, is extremely tactful; using words and intonations in a way that the person he talks to would listen. His tactful and charismatic speech is even able to make the likes of the initially passive Muichiro Tokito and the impulsive Sanemi Shinazugawa listen to what he has to say without conveying anything that would rile them up.
Towards his own kin, such as his children, Kagaya is rather strict: due to the curse of their family, he had to prepare them early on to replace him in leading the Demon Slayers. Nevertheless, he shows the same gentle aura and demeanor towards them.

Kagaya's bloodlust, envisioned by Muzan as a den of snakes.

Beneath his otherwise kind and gentle personality, Kagaya bore a deep, burning hatred of Muzan Kibutsuji . As the cause for his family's cursed lives, he showed uncharacteristic silent anger towards the demon and addressed him without showing any indication of fear or hesitation. He repeatedly provoked him by mocking his intentions to become an eternal being and boldly stated that he would die, and in his final moments, he bore a smile on his face to lure Muzan into a false sense of security as his trap was activated. Despite his own hatred towards him, Muzan was amazed that Kagaya had hidden his bloodlust during their conversation and was shocked Kagaya was willing to kill his own family from his own perspective, having underestimated the lengths he would go to in order to weaken him.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

As a human, Kaigaku is a muscular young man of average height who has short, spiky black hair, with two thick strands framing his face, and a pair of dull, cold turquoise eyes framed by thick, arched eyebrows. He has an unfriendly face, that is always set in a semi-permanent snarl.
After becoming a demon, he gains many demonic traits like four black flame-like markings on both sides of his cheeks, elongated canines that resemble fangs, sickly pale skin, sharp blackened nails, and pointed ears. By becoming a member of the Twelve Kizuki and rising to the position of Upper Rank Six, his eyes are etched with the kanji of "Upper Rank" ( 上 弦 , Jōgen ? ) on his right, and daiji of "Six" ( 陸 , Roku ? ) on his left.
When he was still human, who is still undergoing training under Kuwajima, he is shown to be wearing a black kimono with a white collar, worn loosely to expose his chest and his signature magatama-necklaces around his neck. When he became a Demon Slayer, he wore the Corps' standard uniform consisting of a black gakuran -like jacket, a pair of equally black tattsuke-hakama pants held up by a white belt, tucked into white kyahan wrapped around his ankles, and a pair of tabi socks and zori .
When he became a demon, he is shown to be wearing his signature kimono secured with a blue obi over his Demon Slayer uniform that has yellow flame-like markings near the chest area. His forearms are seemingly wrapped in kyahan -like material. He also wears multiple necklaces on his neck and wrist with green colored strings that hold together blue magatama -like pendants that were yellow in color when he was human.

Though outwardly brash, haughty, and arrogant, Kaigaku is in fact cowardly and selfish. Like many orphans who grew up with nothing, he resorted to doing any immoral or demeaning acts as a means to survive, like thievery and drinking from a puddle. [4] [3] His intense sense of self-preservation goes so far as to sacrifice the lives of Gyomei and the other children to save his own skin, showing that he will do anything if it means survival. This attitude also was evident during his time as a Demon Slayer; unlike those who join the Corps , Kaigaku never developed a desire to slay demons or protect people. When confronted with a stronger opponent, Kaigaku immediately surrenders, once again cementing his cowardice and indifference towards making immoral choices if it will save him in the end. [3] However, despite his disinterest in becoming a Demon Slayer for the greater good, Kaigaku did show a desire for status as a master swordsman. This is shown when even as a demon, he chooses to make his flesh weapon of choice resemble a nichrin sword.
Additionally, Kaigaku has developed a sense of hypocritical self-righteousness. He considered Zenitsu Agatsuma worthless for having no dignity or perseverance and was repulsed at the idea of succeeding Jigoro along with him. Despite this, his actions prove him to be as cowardly as Zenitsu, if not worse, and his accusation of Zenitsu shaming Jigoro proves void when he himself ends up disgracing the former Hashira by becoming a demon. Furthermore, when confronted with the news of Jigoro's death, he only claimed his demise was earned for not believing he alone was worthy to succeed him.

Kaigaku claims that Jigoro deserved his death.

Kaigaku also possesses a twisted perspective of 'right' and 'wrong', believing that those who judge him right (i.e., say he is worthy) are good and those who judge him wrong and have a low estimation of him are evil. [5] His inflated ego and superiority complex was evident when could not stand the idea of sharing the position of Thunder Hashira with Zenitsu, and later accused Jigoro of favoring Zenitsu over him. In addition, when Zenitsu points out how Kaigaku could never master the first form and remarks that he pitied Jigoro for having such pathetic successors, Kaigaku immediately lost his composure and screamed at Zenitsu to not compare them to each other.
In spite of all his flaws, Kaigaku seemed to be genuinely happy as a young child living with Gyomei and other orphans, cheerfully conversing and eating with them, and smiling when being pat on the head by Gyomei. However, his egocentric nature outweighed his attachment to his first found family. In the end, after being beheaded and being at death's door, Kaigaku remains unrepentant and is pleased to know that at least Zenitsu would die with him. However, Yushiro arrives and begins mocking him that he will be given nothing since he never learned how to give, and Kaigaku's fate was sealed once he decided to let his desire inflate and take control of him. Upon seeing Yushiro rescue Zenitsu, Kaigaku screams in anger as the remainder of his body disintegrates.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kamanue was a short young man of pale skin complexion, his face decorated by a thick line of dark green under both of his eyes and across his nose that ran up vertically into another, shorter horizontal line on his forehead. Four large dots were also placed at the far ends of the line on his cheeks, the middle of the one on his forehead, and below his lower lip.
His eyes were cat-like in shape, the pupils slit and the irises pale blue with a white ring around the sides. The kanji for Lower ( 下 , Ka ? ) and the daiji for Six ( 陸 , Roku ? ) was etched onto his left eye, which signified his position. Kamanue also possessed dark brown hair with bright orange tips that was worn swept back but fluffed out on either side of his head and neck. He wore a white haori with a yellow scale pattern down the sleeves, as well as a white button-up shirt and dark hakama pants.

Kamanue was a very anxious and restive individual. He constantly wore a scared expression due to the fact that he felt weak and vulnerable as the lowest of the Lower Ranks. He appeared to be constantly skittish during his short time at the Infinity Castle.
As with most demons, his loyalty to Muzan Kibutsuji, though steadfast, was built on great fear, sweating profusely when he heard the Demon King's voice and being unable to say a word when he was challenged to continue speaking his mind when Muzan questioned his loyalty.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kanae was a young, fair woman, and tall for her age. She is described as incredibly pretty by many fans. Kanae had an innocently beautiful face, with a small sharp nose and noticeably pink lips. She possessed straight, long, dark black hair flowing fluidly to her hips, along with two mid-cheek length arched bangs. Her eyes are remarkably large, just like her biological sister Shinobu, and a pale violet color with many sparkles reflecting off them, fringed with long, lovely lashes. Being the Flower Hashira, she wears two beautiful green-pink butterflies on either back-side of her head that accentuates her looks. She possesses the famous beauty of the Kochō sisters.

Kanae wore the standard black Demon Slayer uniform, tinted dark-purple in the anime, and tattsuke hakama pants as well as a piece of black fabric around her calves and zōri with pale purple straps. She also sported a pair of green and pink butterfly hairpins that she wore adorned on either side of her head - one of which was later used by her adoptive younger sister, Kanao Tsuyuri , as a memento. She also wore the white butterfly-patterned haori that fades to pale turquoise then pink toward the cuff and hem, which Shinobu Kocho now wears in the present.

Kanae is shown to be a good-natured girl with an easygoing personality; in Shinobu and Kanao 's flashbacks, she is almost always seen with a gentle smile on her face. [2] [3] When Sanemi Shinazugawa lashed out against their leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki , she displayed concern for Kagaya and gently informed Sanemi how Kagaya truly cares for the Demon Slayers under his charge. [4] Kanae also had a dream of someday being able to live peacefully alongside demons despite all the suffering and death they have inflicted on humans, which later inspired Shinobu to do the same. [5]

Kanae's spirit declaring that Shinobu will win with the right resolve to defeat Doma.

However, Kanae had a much stricter side, as shown when Shinobu was on the verge of defeat during her battle with Doma . Kanae's spirit ordered her to stand up and face her opponent, brushing away the excuses forming in her mind that she was too delicate to take on demons. Kanae was also keenly observant, seeing through Doma's acting and lies, and deducing that he was in fact emotionless and empty. According to Kanao, Kanae felt sorry for him due to his emptiness, even though he mortally wounded her. [6]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kanao is a girl of short stature, with large and gentle eyes of a dark lilac color that are framed by thick eyelashes. She has short, thin raven-black hair, tied into a ponytail on the right side of her head and fastened by a pink and green butterfly ornament that once belonged to her adoptive sister, Kanae Kocho . [3] She has a straight fringe and two loose, chin-length strands that curve downwards from above each of her ears.
Kanao wears a slightly purple-tinted version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, just with a knee-length pleated skirt in place of the usual tattsuke-hakama pants. Over time however, Kanao's skirt was shortened to only cover her thighs, which was implied to the craft of the notoriously lecherous uniform-maker, Masao Maeda . Over this, she wears a short white cloak, fastened on one side by a dark pink triple knot, also sporting knee-high lace-up white boots with tan soles, heels and toes.
Sometime between then and her next appearance in the Infinity Castle, the color of Kanao's hair changes as the ends now appear tinted slightly purple before fading to a neon pink around halfway down her ponytail. After her battle with Doma , Kanao begins to wear Shinobu Kocho 's hairpin rather than Kanae's, as her's was shattered during the battle. She also loses much of the vision of her right eye due to her using Flower Breathing 's final form to take out the Upper Rank with her eye gaining a defined pupil with a dark ring around it and becoming deprived of its gradient. [3]

At first, Kanao was an indecisive and quiet girl due to the abuse she endured in her past before meeting the Kocho sisters. She became unable to make decisions by herself and repressed her emotions as a defense mechanism. In order to help rectify this, Kanae Kocho gave her a coin to flip to decide which path to follow when she didn't know what to do. [4] For many years, Kanao continued to show little emotion or desire. Despite this, after seeing what demons did to Aoi Kanzaki , Kiyo Terauchi and Shinobu Kocho 's loved ones, Kanao developed a strong hatred against demons directly from her own will. Shinobu, oblivious to this fact, was afraid that she wasn't acting on her own volition.
Since Kanao couldn't do housework and nursing at the Butterfly Mansion like her colleagues, she opted to be a Demon Slayer . Without their knowledge, Kanao learned Flower Breathing by watching her sister Kanae.
Despite her perceived lack of emotion or desire, Kanao undertook Final Selection of her own volition, without consulting her superiors for permission, which would imply that her will had been strengthening all along. Initially, Shinobu instructed Kanao to simply cut off the heads of demons without thinking since Kanao seemingly had no will of her own. However, Kanao also eventually developed her own desire to fight. [5]

Kanao repeatedly bids farewell to Tanjiro.

Between Kanae's death and the events during Rehabilitation Training, she recovers slightly but still relies on her coin to make decisions. She displays a somewhat mechanical response in conversations; when Tanjiro Kamado approaches her to bid to her farewell, she repeats "goodbye" when he attempts to continue the conversation. [6] However, he eventually manages to start bringing her out of her shell and she starts to make more of her own decisions, in turn relying less on her coin. She also gains the ability to speak unambiguously [7] and Kanao gradually becomes able to express her emotions and wants more openly as seen when Tanjiro recovers from his injuries and she displays relief [8] when she tells Shinobu that she wishes to train alongside her, and when she expresses shock and distress at Shinobu's plan to defeat Doma . [9]

"Why were you even born?"

In her battle against Doma, Kanao takes uncharacteristically sadistic glee in pointing out his own lack of emotions. Fueled by hatred and spite due to her sisters' deaths by his hand, she attacks him verbally to the point where he drops his normal carefree demeanor. [10] Kanao also demonstrates extreme determination and a deep care for her family, crying for the first time in the wake of Shinobu's death and expressing that she had wished to go home together with her elder sister. [11] Kanao has also now been shown to express a greater sense of camaraderie and care for her fellow Demon Slayers other than Shinobu, as seen when she becomes visibly angry and sympathetic on Inosuke Hashibira 's behalf when Doma begins gloating about his mother 's death. She shows immense rage at the demon's taunts, insulting him and telling him to silence himself, which is a complete step up from the original emotionally distant relationship she had with her comrades.
Later, during the final battle against Muzan Kibutsuji , Kanao was shown to have completely regained the ability to properly express her emotions and make her own choices. Over the course of the battle, Kanao shows visible feelings of anger and terror towards the Demon King as her and her fellow Demon Slayers take him on. Even after the battle is over she continues to show emotion, proving herself to genuinely love and care for both Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado after watching the latter's desperate attempts to reach out to her now transformed brother, which even reached the point of her sacrificing her one remaining eye to inject Tanjiro with Shinobu's last vial of the human-conversion drug in an attempt to save him.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kanata is a young man of reasonable height with short black hair, cut into a neat fringe that hangs over his forehead. His eyes are gentle and of a dark violet color with paler rings of lavender around their edges, and he's usually seen with an expressionless face. Overall, his appearance bears a strong resemblance to that of his ancestor Kanao Tsuyuri .
Kanata wears his high school's uniform, consisting of a pale blue dress shirt with a sleeveless, white v-neck cardigan worn over the top, and plain black pants. He wears a black necktie, as well as a pair of dark brown dress shoes and a watch with a white band on his left wrist.

Kanata takes after Kanao in terms of personality as well as appearance, as he is often seen with a blank expression and communicates with most everyone in a monotonous manner. He is said to say whatever is in his mind right away. Kanata also appears to be rather mathematical, as he accurately counted and recalled the amount of times he told his brother to wake up. [1] However, it's shown that he'll drop this personality when around Toko Agatsuma , as he's seen smiling at her and calling her cute when they meet up on the walk to school. [3]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kanata has pale, light skin and a set of large, dark eyes. Her hair is shaped into a blunt white bob haircut similar to the rest of her siblings. She adorns an elongated wisteria headpiece on the right side of her head as opposed to the left side like her brother.
During the Final Selection Arc , Kanata wore a purple, flower-patterned Hōmongi kimono with a dark indigo juban under it. She also sported a sheen green obi with a dark indigo obiage and a plum-red obijime tying it.
During the Infinity Castle Arc , Kanata wore a purple Edo komon kimono with a white juban under it, sporting a black obi with a white obiage and a pink obijime, completely identical to her twin sister Kuina Ubuyashiki .

Kanata's first appearance during the Final Selection depicts herself to be a professional, intelligent, and focused individual on her given task of explaining the proper details regarding the exam. [3]
Kanata also displays a degree of emotional aloofness when describing the fatal consequences of the exam, given the likely chances that not even half of the gathered trainees would survive the test. This indifferent attitude is also seen during the exams ending when Kanata doesn't display any form of panic, fear, or intimidation despite being manhandled and threatened by Genya Shinazugawa . [4]
However, Kanata does show a fragile side after the death of her parents and older sisters, breaking into tears when remembering them. Nonetheless, she is able to regain her composure when Kiriya reminds her to concentrate at the task at hand. [5]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kazumi is a young man with dark-brown hair and brown eyes with white pupils.
He wears a dull, blue iromuji kimono with a dark-colored obi and light-brown haori . He was eventually seen with bruises in his face.

Kazumi was shown to be a loving and kind person who enjoys spending time together with his fiancée . Despite his grief over her disappearance, he was shown to be quite trusting, as he believed in Tanjiro's way of trying to find Satoko. Upon learning that she was in fact dead and Tanjiro had encouraged him to move on, Kazumi became upset and asked how he could know his pain, only to quickly realize his savior did indeed endure a terrible loss as well, becoming regretful of his harsh words.
Unlike most civilians, Kazumi seems to know some knowledge about demons and Demon Slayers , having heard about their existence through rumors, though he remains surprised to see them in reality. [1]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Keizo was a middle-aged man with a muscular body and unshaven stubble. He kept a shoulder length black hair which was tied and his eyebrows appears to be quite bushy.
Keizo wore a Jiu-Jitsu gi uniform consisting of a top and pants that is tied with a dan black belt with the kanji for his fighting style Soryu ( 素 流 , Soryū ? ) at the back.

Keizo was a kind and cheerful person who did his best to protect the others with his abilities, and he was optimistic and empathic enough to assign Hakuji, a former convict, to take care of his daughter, teaching him his Soryu martial arts style and ultimately welcoming him into his family by allowing him to marry Koyuki and be the next head of his dojo. His memory and instructions impacted Hakuji enough even after his transformation as a demon and the loss of his memories, especially after meeting Tanjiro Kamado who shared his same beliefs and benevolence.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kie was a woman with a noticeably light complexion, kind, dark purple eyes that appear a lighter color around the rims of their irises, and a small beauty mark located on the left of her face below her lower lip. She had black hair, worn tied back in a messy bun with a few loose strands left to dangle over her face.
She wore a purple and cream checkered kimono with a white and long-sleeved kappōgi over the top, she also sported a white tenugui cloth that she wears around her head, covering most of her hair.

Kie was a warm and loving person; as the mother of 6 children, she was always seen displaying a very affectionate and caring personality. Since she was a single mother, Kie always tried to be as warm and kind to her children as she could to fill the gap her husband left. She was very protective of her children, but at the same time, she also taught them to be independent.
Kie also demonstrated a positive and encouraging vibe, especially during her appearance in Nezuko Kamado 's subconsciousness, encouraging her to wake and help her brother to fight and telling her to do her best. [1]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kiriya has light, pale skin and large eyes. He has the same hairstyle as the rest of his siblings; a blunt bob with a fringe covering his eyebrows, colored black. As he was raised as a girl, he takes on a more feminine appearance during his first appearance.
During the Final Selection test, Kiriya wears a purple uchikake kimono with patterned flowers and a green obi , supported with a white obiage and indigo obijime along with a white juban under everything. His head is adorned with a wisteria headpiece.
Later on in the manga, after he becomes the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps , he wears a black kimono with a long white haori that's reminiscent of his father.

During his first appearance in the series during the Final Selection test, Kiriya portrays himself to be polite, competent, and somewhat emotionally detached having calmly and politely greeted the trainees in sync with his sister , professionally explaining the details regarding the test. He is somewhat unfazed when Genya Shinazugawa roughly manhandles his sister. [3]
Later, upon his father, mother and sisters' deaths, Kiriya shows an entirely different side to himself, displaying his capabilities as a leader. He immediately jumps into his new position and organizes himself to monitor and command the Demon Slayers on their attack against Muzan Kibutsuji and his Twelve Kizuki , [4] despite just losing half of his family and not even properly having the time to mourn them. He shows more mental fortitude and emotional strength in comparison to his younger sisters, who momentarily broke into tears in grief. [5]
However, once his plan results in the slaughter of many Demon Slayers, Kiriya breaks under stress and stops giving orders, much to his sisters' dismay. He is able to pull himself back together after Kuina slaps him. [6]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kiyo is a girl with light skin and a set of circular, dark brown eyes. She has shoulder-length black hair with thin bangs framing her face, along with two pink butterfly clips on each side of her head.
Kiyo wears a long, white nurse dress tied with a dark, reddish-pink bow around her waist. She also sports white socks with geta sandals that have reddish-pink straps.

Kiyo is a kind and cheerful child. Despite her family being slain by Demons , she displayed kindness to Tanjiro by offering him many different snacks during Rehabilitation Training. Kiyo was also showed to be worried about Tanjiro's health when he had a nonstop fever, telling him that she was going to have to tell Shinobu if this continued. Kiyo is also an obedient child, as when Tanjiro asked her, along with Naho and Sumi if they could beat his blanket with blanket beaters if he stopped doing Total Concentration Breathing when he was sleeping, she obliged and did so. Kiyo is also shown to care a lot about her sisters in the Butterfly Mansion , as she was crying when Kanae died.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kiyoshi is a young man in his early teens, with black hair slightly longer than Shoichi 's. He has hazel brown eyes just like his siblings and wears a persimmon colored haori over his green kimono.

Kiyoshi is a brave young boy who, despite his very understandable fear, managed to survive on his own in a house with three Demons all trying to devour him. He is intelligent and crafty enough to use Kyogai 's tsuzumi against him in order to survive. Tanjiro Kamado was impressed by Kiyoshi's will that allowed him to hold out for so long under these conditions.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Koinatsu is a young woman with fair-skin and soft features. She has large but relaxed bronze-colored eyes and small eyebrows with black hair.
She is dressed as an upper classed oiran/tayū having date-hyōgo Nihongami-styled hair with multiple gold-colored hirauchi kanzashi hairpins supporting both the maegami and tabo sections of her hair. She wore an elaborate Susohiki/Hikizuri (trailing skirt) kimono being purple with white polka-dots as its pattern, with a peach-colored haori with multiple golden clouds near the hem and cuffs, and a yellow juban under everything reaching her ankles.

Koinatsu is a kind and gracious woman, readily thanking her kamuro/shinzō subordinates and awarding them with candy for a job well done, [2] as well as smiling at their happiness. [3] In addition, she worries deeply for their well-being when she was to leave to marry a prospective suitor, especially in regards to her inability to investigate the various disappearances that plagued her district. [4] She is also an observant woman, having known that Tanjiro Kamado was a boy from the moment he arrived at her establishment. [5] She also seemed to dislike the spreading of rumors, chiding her subordinates for discussing them with Tanjiro, presumably for misinformation. [6]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kokushibo is a tall man of muscular build with a pale complexion. He possesses long, spiky black hair with red tips that he keeps in a ponytail. His most notable feature is the three sets of eyes on his face with yellow irises and red flesh sclera that have black straight lines diverging from each iris. His middle set of eyes has the kanji of "Upper Rank ( 上 弦 , Jōgen ? ) " on engraved on his left eye, and daiji for "One ( 壱 , Ichi ? ) " on his right, while his other sets of eyes feature black pupils and a cracked pattern in the irises. His top set of eyes replaced his eyebrows. Kokushibo also has red markings resembling flames on the top left side of his forehead and the bottom right of his chin. His appearance is described as profoundly majestic and dignified by Muichiro Tokito . [8]
Kokushibo wears a purple-and-black hexagonal-patterned nagagi kimono and black umanori-styled hakama pants tied with a white uwa-obi . He carries a fleshy katana at his waist that has eyes in the space between the tsuka ito wrapping of the handle of his sword. The tsuba and blade are shown to have eyes and veins. The scabbard is also fleshy in appearance.
As a human, Kokushibo's look was almost identical to his demon form, except for the number of eyes, his eminent eyebrows, and his less light skin. His eyes had dim purple irises and normal, white sclera as a human. As a child, he was normally seen wearing a white kimono, as opposed to the purple-and-black-patterned one he's seen wearing as an adult.
After being beheaded by Sanemi Shinazugawa and Gyomei Himejima , Kokushibo evolves into a more grotesque and monstrous form, with protruding fangs and mandibles, large, uneven white horns on the front and back of his head, pointed nails, red outgrowths on his face, his pupils looking in different directions, shorter and messier hair, several thin tubes poking out of his body, and numerous black and red scorpion tail-like appendages haphazardly sprouting all across his entire body.

Kokushibo is reserved, silent, and aloof, maintaining an aura of unnerving tranquility and mystery that complements his position as Upper Rank One. He rarely speaks; when he does, he talks in a slow and emphatic manner that gives more gravitas and authority to his words. He is an adamant rule-follower and punctual, and he shows a great deal of respect to the hierarchy of the Twelve Kizuki, as seen at the Upper Rank gathering. [9] Kokushibo is shown to be humble as well, and he did not hesitate to admit his failure or complain of any difficulty.
He demonstrates unwavering loyalty towards Muzan Kibutsuji as he carries out his actions solely to fulfill Muzan's objectives. Despite his outward display of reservation, dignity, and humility, there exists a cold and unforgiving side to his personality. When reprimanding individuals, his words can be harsh, bordering on cruelty. His threats are severe and demand absolute obedience.
Kokushibo is shown to be genuinely delighted when the opponents he faced challenged him, such as helping dress Muichiro Tokito 's amputated hand over his talented swordsmanship, praising Gyomei Himejima and Sanemi Shinazugawa for their unparalleled human abilities, and sparing Akaza because he enjoyed the challenge of battling him. It is also worth noting that the only time the demon visibly smiled was when he examined the Stone Hashira's impeccably strong physique, in genuine awe at his strength and showing excitement at the prospect of facing a warrior of extremely high caliber. However, due to this selective respect for those he considered worthy, he also felt irritation after he realized Akaza had died by suicide, and he pities Gyomei for his impending death from unlocking his Demon Slayer Marks.

Kokushibo reveals Gyomei's fate in an attempt to persuade him.

Having abandoned his humanity in the pursuit of strength, he shows a scornful view on humans. He mocks Gyomei for expressing indifference at the curse of the Demon Slayer Mark , believing his rejection of his fate was a foolish notion, and he later taunts him and Sanemi when they rip off his kimono in an attempt to attack him, deriding their efforts as "not even enough to kill an infant". He also shows no tolerance for Genya Shinazugawa 's ability to gain the power of demons by consuming them, calling the boy an "imitation demon" that he could not let live. He shows something of warmth towards his descendant, Muichiro, commending his skills and resolve and being moved to offer Muichiro a chance to become a demon. When their battle comes to an end, Kokushibo displays his regret at having struck down his descendants. [10] At the same time, he refers to Muichiro and his abilities as the natural result of his "cells" being passed down.
Throughout his life, Kokushibo was shown to be a man that greatly valued the concept of legacy. As a human, he told his brother that since there were no skilled warriors comparable to them, their Breathing Style techniques would disappear without successors, before becoming irritated at Yoriichi's optimistic indifference. When he realized that those that had awakened their Demon Slayer Mark died before reaching the age of 25 and grew worried that he was without a future, he accepted Muzan's offer to become a demon to further perfect his techniques. Even as a demon, this is shown when he is pleased that his lineage lived on through Muichiro, and he tells Gyomei that his body and techniques would go to waste because of his mark in an attempt to accept becoming a demon. Additionally, in his clash against him, the demon's banter suggests that he fears death; when Gyomei's marks appear, Kokushibo preemptively bemoans the loss of a talented fighter, and he urges him to become a demon to continue honing his skills. He seemed surprised when Gyomei vehemently rejected his offer and called his mentality pathetic. [11]

Kokushibo growing immensely envious of Yoriichi.

He possesses a complex relationship with his human past. It is revealed that, as a human, Kokushibo, then Michikatsu pitied Yoriichi during the period of time when the boy was mute. He gifted him a flute to use when he needed his brother, and smiled at him despite being bruised from his father's beatings. However, he later harbored an immense sense of envy towards his younger twin brother for his natural talent and incredible abilities. These feelings of jealousy and contempt only became stronger upon seeing his brother become a peerless warrior of unmatched caliber among even the Demon Slayer Corps, with none of the Hashira coming close to his level of strength.
This fostered a drive to become as strong or surpass his brother, a sentiment so strong that he abandoned his family to pursue becoming a Demon Slayer. His envy peaks when he discovers that Yoriichi is still alive and in old age, completely surpassing the curse of the Demon Slayer Marks that killed anyone that awakened them before they turned 25. Even centuries later, Yoriichi's immunity to the curse haunted Kokushibo, and the usually phlegmatic demon would become rattled when Gyomei inadvertently reminded him of Yoriichii by mentioning that he had lied about the curse having no exceptions.

Kokushibo breaking down at the realization of his brother's love for him.

However, despite this immense jealousy, spite, and outright hatred he harbors for Yoriichi, he still deeply cares for his brother, as seen when he was touched by Yoriichi treasuring the handmade flute he had made for him as a child; Kokushibo sheds tears over his brother's death and even goes as far as keeping the flute itself for the following centuries as a memento.
Kokushibo's fear of defeat stems from his inferiority complex and desire for strength. This fear causes him to become increasingly aggressive and desperate in battle, relying on his demon powers, and even killing and dismembering Muichiro despite his earlier to desire to turn him into a demon. However, as he faces off against the Hashira , Kokushibo realizes the heavy cost of his pursuit of strength. He becomes a grotesque monster, far from his idealized vision of becoming the strongest samurai like his brother, highlighting how his ambitions and resentment have twisted him.
In his final moments, he is filled with regret, sorrow, and rage, lamenting his life choices. He questions if the path he chose was truly the right one. He realized that his desire for a legacy had been for naught and he had ended up accomplishing nothing in his centuries of existence. As he disintegrates, Kokushibo angrily asks his deceased brother why he was even born, expressing his frustration at not achieving his desires.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kotetsu is a child of short stature, pale skin tone, and black hair. He wears a striped yukata and a Hyottoko mask (with notable eyebrows and cheek prints) that fully conceals his face. It is said that his face looks exactly like his mask. The kanji for Hyottoko ( 火 男 , Hyottoko ? ) is written on the back of his yukata.

Kotetsu is a kind and energetic child. He is full of passion for his job of maintaining the battle doll Yoriichi Type Zero , even though he has not yet mastered the repairs. This causes him much initial grief and fear, as should the doll break, no one but him is skilled enough to fix it. However, after meeting Tanjiro Kamado he realizes that he cannot give up. He is often very frank and blunt at times. This can be to his own detriment however, as he has no problems being blunt about the notoriously ill-tempered Hotaru Haganezuka who retaliates by assaulting the boy. Despite this, he means the best and tries his hardest to help those around him.
While at times he seems insecure and weak-willed, as shown when he attempts to argue with Muichiro Tokito 's harsh but true statements, Kotetsu can also be hot-headed and barbed-tongued. Without Muichiro to see him in the company of Tanjiro, he openly insulted the Hashira on multiple occasions, which shocked Tanjiro with his sharp contrast in demeanor.
Despite initially bearing a grudge against the Mist Hashira , Kotetsu openly wept and repeatedly thanked Muichiro for saving him from a demon attack, even taking back his hatred and insults (which Muichiro did not even know about). He began begging Muichiro to save Kozo Kanamori and Hotaru Haganezuka, showing that he is open to changing his feelings towards people and being on better terms.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kotoha was described to be a beautiful, young woman, similar in appearance to her son, though Doma stated that she had a softer appearance compared to Inosuke. [1] She wore her long, black hair tied up in a bun and had emerald green eyes.

Kotoha was a kind and loving woman, always showing appreciation to those around her. She treasured Inosuke dearly and would always sing lullabies to him when he was a baby, promising to always protect him no matter what. When meeting Doma, she found a fond liking in him due to him helping her escape the abuse she was facing from her family.
According to Doma , she was naive and not very smart. Doma describes her as a "beautiful" but innocent person. It's unknown whether Doma exaggerated her low intelligence or if her kind nature coupled with the fact that she was partially blind from the beatings she endured from her husband made her ignorant to Doma's true nature. Quite contradictory however, Doma also claimed that she was also sharp despite her  supposed stupidity, and that's how she found out about him being a cannibalistic demon who devoured his followers.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Koyuki was a fair-skinned young lady with large, rounded pink eyes with white pupils shaped as flowers. She was of short stature and possessed a slim frame. She had black hair which was always tied into a large bun fastened with a hairpin and decorated with a Kushi and three snowflake hairpins.
Koyuki wore a circle-patterned, pink kimono that faded into a snowflake pattern tied with an obi.

Koyuki had a kind and gentle personality, showing much gratefulness to Hakuji during his time looking after her. She would get emotional and cry when having normal conversations with him, especially concerning his reassurance of returning to the annual fireworks show, as it reminded her of hope and that there were many opportunities to enjoy the things she never had the chance to enjoy.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kozo is usually seen wearing a long, pale robe with a black haori.
Unmasked, Kozo is revealed to have a long slender face, with thick eyebrows identical to his mask, and a birthmark under his right eye.

Kozo appears as a gentle, soft-spoken individual. He is capable of understanding the hot-blooded Hotaru Haganezuka and cares for others very much as seen when he continues to protect Hotaru against an attack from Upper Rank Five , Gyokko , despite being critically injured. [2] He also showed great worry for Muichiro Tokito , anxiously watching him battle Gyokko and becoming hysterical upon seeing the Hashira fall unconscious from the demon's poison.
However, when it comes to his swords, Kozo is very passionate, almost as much as Hotaru to a certain extent. When Inosuke Hashibira purposefully chips the two blades he received from him, the swordsmith became furious and threatened to kill him for damaging his work. [3]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kuina has features similar to the rest of her family, light, pale skin with a set of large eyes. She wears a white blunt bob with fringe covering her eyes.
Kuina is usually seen wearing a purple, flower-patterned Edo komon kimono with a white juban under it. She also wears a black obi with a white obiage under it and a pink obijime it.

Kuina displays her strong sense of loyalty and devotion to her brother as the new head of the Ubuyashiki Family and Commander of the Demon Slayer Corps , by being the one to forcefully remind him of his duties as their leader. She even resorts to physical force to remind him of this by slapping him, in order to ensure he did not break down under the stress of his responsibilities. [3]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kyogai was a very tall, muscular, humanoid demon, possessing grayish skin with sharp markings on his forehead, black hair, razor sharp teeth, pointy ears, blood red sclera, deep blue pupils and hidden irises due to it being rolled up to the back of his head. The kanji for Lower ( 下 , Ka ? ) and the daiji for Six ( 陸 , Roku ? ) was etched onto his right eye, which signified his position as Lower Rank Six of the Twelve Kizuki, but due to being deemed too weak, his rank was stripped and the eye containing his mark was slashed by Muzan, leaving behind a white X-shaped scar covering the number, signifying that he was no longer one of the Twelve Kizuki. Another one of his unique physical characteristics is that his stomach, shoulders, hips, front chest and back all had drums protruding from them of which he uses for his Blood Demon Art.
In his human disguise, Kyogai manges to coneal all his demonic traits such as his ears, skin, and facial markings. He wears brown and purple kimono, a purple patterned haori, and white tabi socks.

Kyogai's human disguise. Kyogai's marked eye, showing his former position as Lower Rank Six. Kyogai with his sixth drum on his back while fighting the horned demon.

Kyogai was a relatively quiet, calculating, and soft-spoken demon, differing himself from the more ubiquitous loud, bloodthirsty, and aggressive kind. Rather than scream or roar when annoyed, Kyogai quietly murmured about whatever was irritating him. He believed it was rude for people to barge into his home and would destroy them for getting in his way. If irritated enough, Kyogai raised his voice about the nuisance and insulted his opponents.
Upon first becoming a demon, Kyogai believed Muzan's blood would make him infinitely stronger. However, when his strength became finite after growing unable to get stronger from eating humans, Kyogai was cast out by his master. Desperate to please Muzan and prove the worth of his Blood Demon Art, Kyogai became obsessed with consuming "marechi", humans with rare blood.
Above all else, Kyogai truly desired to be recognized for his talent. He wanted people to love his writing and was devastated when he was told to give up on it as a human. To redeem himself from this humiliation, Kyogai tried to prove himself as a powerful demon in the Twelve Kizuki. This obsessive need to prove the worth of his drum playing was why he tried so desperately to reclaim his spot. Upon his death, when Tanjiro Kamado recognized his talent, it allowed Kyogai's soul to rest in peace, happy that someone had finally acknowledged his skills.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kyogo was shown to be an incredibly tall man, even compared to Sanemi, who himself is noted to be a physically imposing individual. He has short jet black hair and a large scar over his left cheekbone. He possessed a large and muscular frame. Kyogo also had thin, almond-shaped eyes, a trait also seen in his children.
Kyogo wears a kimono with lavender and black irregular concave hexagons as its pattern, over a white juban .

Kyogo was a cruel, aggressive, and confrontational man. He would mercilessly beat his wife and kids, using his superior physical might to abuse his much weaker family, seemingly for no reason. Genya's description of him as pathetic implies that Kyogo would always be looking for a way to hurt people. His harsh and violent personality also put him on the wrong side of other people, which would eventually lead to his death.
Even when his spirit met with Sanemi's in the afterlife, as the latter was close to death, his personality stayed mostly the same, denying Sanemi and Shizu's reunion and forcing him away from the afterlife to regain consciousness. However, he had some pride in passing on his genetic physical strength to his child, asking him to be proud of being his son as Sanemi would eventually survive the horrific wounds he had suffered in his battles and recover.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Kyojuro was a young adult of tall stature and lean-muscular build. He had long bright yellow hair with red streaks akin to flames along with two shoulder-length bangs and two chin-length bangs on the side of his head, black forked eyebrows, and golden eyes that fade to red with white pupils. He was known to be charismatic and had an air of great optimism, having an enthusiastic smile plastered on his face nearly all the time.
Kyojuro wore the standard black Demon Slayer uniform, tinted brown in the anime, which consisted of a brown button-up jacket with stand collar and long sleeves, a white belt around his waist and tattsuke-hakama pants. Over this, he wore a haori with a white-yellow gradient pattern and red flame-like ridges at the end that his father Shinjuro had once worn and more than likely his father had worn when they were the Flame Hashira respectively. Finally, he wore red kyahan with yellow flames erupting from the bottom-up, with pale brown tabi socks and a pair of white zōri with red straps.
When he first joined the Demon Slayer Corps , he only wore the regular Demon Slayer uniform but as he rose up the ranks, Kyojuro started wearing a completely white haori before donning on his signature flame-patterned one.

Kyojuro was greatly enthusiastic in regard to his duties as a Hashira , and often came across as cheerfully eccentric. He was amiable, pure of heart, and boasted extraordinary technique and swordsmanship stemming from strict practice and discipline. He was an honorable warrior who adhered to his code of morals and principles that was instilled into him by his mother at a young age; the most significant being his belief that those who were born strong have a duty to protect the weak.
Kyojuro also loved his family immensely, displaying great respect and worry towards his father, Shinjuro Rengoku , despite him growing slowly more aggressive and apathetic towards Kyojuro. He was incredibly encouraging and optimistic towards his little brother, Senjuro Rengoku , believing in him and wishing him the best no matter what. This was further accentuated during his death where his final words for his father and his little brother were "take care of your body" and "follow your dreams no matter what". Kyojuro also believed that if someone lacks immense skill, their hard work towards their dreams and desire to help people doesn't count for nothing.

Kyojuro promises to fulfill his duties as the Flame Hashira.

Beneath his enthusiastic demeanor, Kyojuro was very logical and tactically intelligent, acting quickly and precisely in battle, especially when the lives of others are on the line. Kyojuro was also great in seeing talent in others, even in Nezuko Kamado , a demon which he wanted to kill beforehand, after seeing her risk her lives to fight and protect others. Though he was extremely optimistic, Kyojuro did sometimes have a sense of foreboding that those he believed in might die, especially his friends who he cared deeply for. He, like most Demon Slayers , absolutely detested demons, usually because of their heinous deeds or because of their clashing moral values. Despite this, Kyojuro recognized and accepted Nezuko as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps after seeing her risk her life to protect innocents, showing that Kyojuro was capable of not letting his hatred for demons cloud his judgement.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Makio is a young woman of average height possessing a voluptuous figure with pale skin and large golden brown eyes framed by eyelashes with prominent ones present on both the upper and lower lashes, and thin eyebrows arching downward which gives her a determined and headstrong look. She has black hair tied up with golden-brown bangs which hang loosely, framing her face.
Makio is seen wearing a red, sleeveless striped dress that ends mid-thigh which also reveals her cleavage and secured with a black obi where she stores her kunai . She has gray-colored bandages wrapped around her calves and up to her thighs. Her footwear consists of a pair of zōri with red straps. During her time as Daki's captive, she is seen with cuts and bruises across her body.
When retired, Suma wears a more modest version of her usual dress that covers her legs.

Makio's personality is similar to Inosuke Hashibira : bold and confident in the way she acts. Out of her two co-wives, Makio tends to have less patience with Suma. When the women fought Daki's obi in the underground cavern, Makio can be seen berating her for being condescending. [2] Later on when the three wives reunite, Makio can also be seen slapping Suma and calling her an idiot after she makes insensitive remarks about Hinatsuru dying. [3]
Despite her headstrong and fierce temperament, Makio does have a softer side that shows when dealing with Tengen. She is seen worrying about his declining health following their major battle, and clings to him in relief after Nezuko heals him. [4]
Like her co-wives, Makio has a soft spot for Tanjiro, due to his monumental aid in the Entertainment District, offering him kind words during his training, and wishing the best for him in his battle against Muzan.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Makomo was a young girl of short stature and pale skin, who possessed gentle eyes of a deep cyan color, their pupils rectangular and white, that were a notably paler turquoise near the bottom. She had black hair that came down to her shoulders, spiking outwards at the ends, and short micro bangs over her forehead.
Makomo wore a red yukata with a pink and white flower dot pattern, over which she sported a dark-purple sleeveless haori and a paler brown piece of fabric tied around her waist. On her feet, she wore a pair of sandals of a similar design to the ones worn by Mitsuri Kanroji , tied around her ankle from her heel and closed at the toe. As with the rest of Sakonji Urokodaki 's apprentices, Makomo's white warding mask , hand-carved by her master himself, took the shape of a fox's face, hers additionally being decorated by two blue flowers painted on its left-hand side.

Completely opposing to Sabito 's aggressive and form personality, Makomo was a girl of quiet, patient, and kind nature. She was always helping Tanjiro Kamado by pointing out any mistakes in his technique and correcting any bad habits he had unconsciously developed during his training under Sakonji. Makomo's pet phrase is that she loves Sakonji very much.
She is also a somewhat mysterious person, as she always speaks in an abstract and dreamy way without ever giving straight answers to questions about her past.
Makomo and the other spirits of Sakonji's children entrust Tanjiro with putting their foster-father's mind at ease. She and Sabito watch over their loved ones, including Tanjiro, who helps put their souls to a peaceful rest.


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

The Mantis Demon's appearance consists of a combination of human and insectoid features. He retains a largely human form, with a normal human head, torso, and legs. However, his arms are grotesquely transformed, extending into green, insect-like forelegs from the elbows onward, ending in sharp, serrated appendages. From his back, four additional green segmented legs protrude, enhancing his insectoid appearance and providing him with extra agility and stability. The demon's black hair contrasts starkly with his pale blue eyes, which feature slit pupils. [1]

Like most demons, the Mantis Demon exhibits both cunning and ferocity. He often employs surprise attacks, launching himself from hidden vantage points, for example the ceiling, to catch his prey off guard. However, he seems to acknowledge the threat of Demon Slayers in battle, and when pressured or outmatched, he does not hesitate to flee. [1]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Masachika was a young man with an average build and short, spiky black hair. He had noticeably small, rounded eyebrows and two prominent scars on his left cheek. His mouth was usually curved into a happy smile.
Masachika wore the standard Demon Slayer uniform that consisted of a dark gakuran jacket, white belt, and baggy hakama pants tucked into white wraps of cloth around his ankles.
In Kimetsu Gakuen! ,  his eyes are olive green with white diamond-shaped pupils.

Masachika was a very kind person, befriending Sanemi and even introducing him to someone who could help train him. [1] However, in stark contrast to Sanemi's ill-tempered and rude behavior, Masachika is also shown to have a jolly and high-spirited personality. He frequently teased Sanemi by inviting him to eat out, imploring him to view him as his big brother, and poking fun at Sanemi's recklessness and cluelessness to romance.
Masachika was also very sociable and charismatic, telling Shinobu Kocho a humorous tale about Gyomei Himejima being chased for playing the flute too loud and fondness for cats, and endearing himself to a grumpy old man with his exuberant charm, making the man retell the story of " Yae ".
Despite his usual playfulness, he was absolutely repulsed upon learning that as a human, Ubume had tortured and killed her daughter, and became full of rage when the demon made facetious excuses over her prior actions. His anger was further stirred when Ubume correctly analyzed that Sanemi was a victim of parental abuse and feigned pity for him.
In his final moments, Masachika's kindness caused him to lose focus when one of Ubume's kidnapping victims attempted to defend the demon, leading him to be fatally struck by Ubume. Despite this Masachika still showed concern for the girl and Ubume's other victims when the demon was defeated. His last words to Sanemi were telling the Demon Slayer to be happy and live on. In his will, Masachika considered Sanemi as a brother and wished the best for his loved ones. [2]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Masao is a young man of average height. He wears a pair of large round glasses to help him see. Most of his features are blocked by the head covering and the mask all members of the Kakushi adorn.

Within the Demon Slayer Corps, Masao has gained a negative reputation for his inappropriate behavior and is widely regarded as a pervert. He has earned the derogatory nickname "Scum Glasses" due to his actions, which include creating sexualized uniforms for female Demon Slayers and harassing them. [1]
When questioned about the revealing outfits, Masao would manipulate and gaslight people, convincing them that they are normal and official attire, as he did with Mitsuri Kanroji . He also deny any allegations of tampering outfits, such as when he was suspected of making Kanao Tsuyuri 's culotte panties slowly shorter and shorter, dismissing such claims as baseless and attributing any perceived changes to the viewer's own lewd perspective. [2]
In moments of confrontation, he would speak rapidly in an attempt to extricate himself from the situation, displaying a deep fear of potential escalation, particularly if Sanemi Shinazugawa is involved. [2] This fear stems from a past incident where Sanemi admonished Masao for his misconduct, causing him to experience intense fear and even wet himself. [3] When Shinobu destroyed the uniform he had made for her, Masao humbly prostrated himself on the ground in a gesture of remorse and apology. [2]


Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

He is a gray-haired man with short hair, and small stubble on his chin. He looks outwardly 50-60 years old and has a kind face.

During his daughter’s childhood, Matazo was shown to be a loving, but awkward  father to his daughter. This was mainly due to him having difficulty bonding with her after her mother’s death. As shown, Matazo was initially hesitant to train his daughter in hunting due to initially believing that it was not a profession fit for a woman, but eventually gave in when his friends revealed that Yae simply wanted to spend time with him and bond with him through hunting.
After becoming a Demon , Matazo was shown to have become extremely feral and had lost nearly all reason and rationality. As shown where he had immediately violently killed his fellow hunters and devoured them. However, despite becoming a near rabid animal, Matazo still retains his strong love for his daughter, as shown where he recognized her after his first frenzy and ran away from her to avoid eating her as well.  Later after she tracked him down in the mountain, Matazo was able to say her name as he tried to eat her.
