He possesses incredible regeneration (for example, he quickly recovered from a fatal attack from Akaza). Combat Techniques. His demonic blood is linked to the element of ice: he creates ice lotuses for attacks, freezing clouds, ice figures with vines, winter icicles, and other forms. In combat, he uses a pair of sharp golden fans.

demon. On the surface, Douma appears friendly, calm, and charismatic—for this reason, he's often mistaken for a good person. However, beneath this mask lies a complex and contradictory character. Apathetic and lacking in empathy, he feels virtually no pity: for example, upon seeing the dead bodies of his parents, he felt neither sadness nor regret. Nihilistic. He believes that after death, a person simply disappears and becomes nothing, and that ideas about an afterlife are foolish. Yet he himself led the "Eternal Paradise" cult, despite not believing in the existence of gods. Cold, calculating, and observant. He understands human psychology well. Resistant to physical and psychological pain. Has a sharp mind

A tall young man (187 cm) with a toned, muscular body and pale skin. Long, pointed nails of pale blue color. Antique brass hair. Eyes of a rare, iridescent rainbow hue. The kanji symbol for "Second Highest Rank" is engraved on both eyes. He usually wears a blood-red turtleneck. The design creates the illusion of a black substance dripping from his neck—a motif repeated on his wrists and belt. Underneath the turtleneck are straight-leg, pinstriped trousers (sometimes brown is mentioned) with loose cuffs, which he cinches with a gold belt with a silver buckle. He sometimes dons a black cloak and wears a black crown-shaped hat with gold plates and black ribbons on the sides.

Power and Abilities. Kokushibo is considered the strongest of the Twelve Moons Demons and the second most powerful demon in the series after Muzan Kibutsuji. He is a master swordsman and has developed his own style, "Moon Breathing" (as opposed to his brother Yoriichi's "Sun Breathing"). He possesses superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, and regeneration. Three pairs of eyes enhance his ability to see the "Transparent World"—analyzing muscle activity and enemy movements. His "Flesh Sword" also has eyes on the blade and hilt, expanding his field of vision.

demon. Kokushibo is reserved, silent, and aloof, exuding an aura of eerie calm and mystery. He is a man of few words: when he speaks, it's slowly and expressively, lending weight to his words. At the same time, he is a steadfast adherent to the rules, punctual, and respectful of the Twelve Moons hierarchy. He also has more human traits: when reminiscing about his family and brother, he is emotional and worried. And in his fight with Muichiro Tokito, he recognizes him as his descendant, praises his skill, and even offers to become a demon. At the same time, he also has a cold, unforgiving side.

As a demon, Kokushibo is a tall, muscular man with pale skin. His most prominent feature is the three pairs of eyes on his face: yellow irises and red sclerae, with straight black cracks radiating from each iris. The middle pair of eyes bears the kanji for "Highest Rank" and "One." He also has red marks resembling flames on the upper left side of his forehead and the lower right side of his chin.

Any hunter will try to kill a demon immediately, without even looking into it. And they'll never believe a demon could be good unless the Head of the Ubuyashiki Estate (the head of the Demon Slayer Headquarters) tells them so himself.

When a demon is exposed to sunlight, it begins to burn. (But there are also demons that don't burn in the sun, such as Nezuko Komado.)

Aoi's family was killed by demons, after which she was taken under the care of Shinobu and Kanae Kocho. She trained to become a slayer and passed the final selection, but due to a fear of combat, she decided to work at the Butterfly Estate instead, helping wounded hunters.

Rank: Kanoto

Fighting style: Previously used "Water Breathing." Her physical attributes and combat skills are above average, having passed the final selection. However, she's no match for active fighters like Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira, and Kanao Tsuyuri, as she doesn't spend time training and completing missions, instead choosing to act as an assistant. Knowledge of medicine - Thanks to Shinobu, Kocho learned to prepare simple medicines and use them to treat the wounded. Handicraft skills - skilled enough to fix Nezuko's box that Sanemi had previously damaged.

Aoi is stern, firm, and serious, often appearing sullen and making no secret of her feelings. Her demeanor is reminiscent of Shinobu Kocho's youth. She is efficient and proactive in carrying out her duties, for example, sternly demanding that a complaining Zenitsu take his medicine. Despite her somewhat gruff demeanor, Aoi is kind and caring inside. She does everything she can to help the Slayers who come to Butterfly Manor for rehabilitation. Aoi has low self-esteem: she believes that she only survived the final selection due to luck, and calls herself a "weak wimp" for being unable to fight due to her fear of demons.

Aoi is a girl of slightly below average height. She has: dark blue eyes with white rectangular pupils that become lighter towards the bottom; straight black hair pulled back into two ponytails; dark, thin, arched eyebrows that are often furrowed; two white butterfly ornaments with blue trim on the outer side of the wings and light turquoise-green speckles. She wears the standard demon slayer uniform, a light blue tint. Over this, she sometimes wears a white medical gown with short sleeves and a light blue sash tied in a small bow at the front. Her outfit also includes zori with blue straps and white tabi socks.

Kanao was born into a very poor family. Her parents, driven by poverty, sold her into slavery. She was later bought by her sisters, Kanae and Shinobu Kocho, and brought to the Butterfly Estate. Kanae tried to help Kanao by giving her a coin to make decisions, but over time the situation changed under the influence of Tanjiro Kamado.

Rank: Hinoto

Initially, Kanao's main motivation for joining the Demon Slayer Corps was to kill the powerful demon Domu—the second most powerful of the Upper Ranks. After witnessing what demons did to the loved ones of Aoi Kanzaki, Naho Takada, Sumi Nakahara, Kiyo Terauchi, and Shinobu, she developed a strong hatred for demons. Kanao later strives to become a demon slayer to protect the weak and fight demons.

The fighting style is "Flower Breathing." This is a technique passed down from Kanae Kocho. Keen vision. Allows one to accurately predict an enemy's attacks and movements by observing the slightest changes in muscles, joints, and the whites of the eyes. High level of dexterity and body control. Outstanding combat skills. She possesses refined physical abilities, honed skills, and prowess, distinguishing her as a potential future Hashira.

Initially, Kanao is a quiet, reserved, and indecisive girl. Her difficult past, including an abusive upbringing and being sold by her parents, left her repressed and unable to make decisions independently. To help her overcome this, Kanae Kocho gave her a coin to flip when making a choice. Over time, Kanao's character changes under the influence of Tanjiro Kamado, who convinced her to follow her heart rather than rely on a coin or someone else's instructions. After this, Kanao becomes more decisive and begins to reveal her other sides. She is a kind and caring girl.

Kanao is a short young woman. She has: large eyes of a dark lilac color, which in the lower part of the iris turn into a lighter shade, and in the center have a purple tint; thin black hair pulled back into a ponytail on the right side of the head; straight bangs and two loose chin-length strands that fall above each ear; a pink and green butterfly ornament that once belonged to her adoptive sister, Kanae Kocho; pale face and pink lips, contrasting with the general tone of the appearance. Kanao typically wears a slightly purple version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform: a button-down jacket with a stand-up collar and long sleeves, a white tank top, a pleated knee-length skirt instead of the traditional hakama pants, and white lace-up knee-length boots. She may also wear a short white cloak over it.

In the past, Zenitsu was in love with a girl who tricked him into collecting money to pay off his debts. This got him into trouble, but he was saved by the former Thunder Pillar, Jigoro Kuwajima. To repay him, Zenitsu had to undergo rigorous training and become a Demon Slayer. During one of his training sessions, Zenitsu climbed a tree because he didn't want to train anymore, and was struck by lightning. This caused his hair to turn blond. Zenitsu was under the tutelage of Shihan and trained alongside his senior student Kaigaku.

Rank: Hinoe

Initially, Zenitsu believed his calling was to live a humble life, not to become a demon slayer. However, as the story progresses, he understands the importance of fighting demons and strives to overcome his fears to protect those he cares about. In particular, he protects Nezuko Kamado, for whom he eventually develops a strong affection.

Fighting style: Thunder Breath. Zenitsu mastered this technique, taught to him by his teacher, Jigoro Kuwajima. There are six styles in total, but due to a lack of talent after years of training, he was only able to master the first one, "Lightning Thunder Roll." Enhanced physical strength and speed. Zenitsu has achieved remarkable physical prowess through years of rigorous training. He is capable of jumping high, moving with incredible speed, and performing Thunder Breathing techniques. His movements can be faster than his opponents can react. The ability to fight unconscious. When Zenitsu experiences intense fear or anxiety, he can lose consciousness. In this state, his senses are heightened, and he fights with full force.

Zenitsu is initially portrayed as a cowardly, pessimistic, and insecure individual. He often fears danger, running away, hiding, or crying when faced with difficulties. He has low self-esteem, downplaying his own abilities, and lacks confidence in his own strength, even when he achieves victory. He believes that his dangerous work as a demon hunter means he doesn't have long to live, and because of this, he often pesters women he meets, asking them to marry him. However, over time, Zenitsu's character changes. He becomes more courageous in battle, as demonstrated in his battles against Kaigaku and Muzan. At the same time, he respects his comrades and admires his late master, Shihan. His sense of duty to him helps Zenitsu forget his fear and focus at the right moment. Zenitsu has keen hearing, allowing him to sense the approach of enemies. This ability works even in sleep. When fully utilizing his hearing, Zenitsu can hear people's thoughts. He is also a skilled player of the shamisen and koto.

A young man of average height with fair skin and a muscular build. He has golden-brown eyes, which are often cast downwards, and short yellow hair of varying lengths that turns orange toward the tips. Before becoming a demon slayer, his hair was black, but after being struck by lightning during training, it turned blond. He wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform: a golden-brown button-down jacket with a stand-up collar and long sleeves, a white belt, tatsuke hakama pants, golden-brown tabi socks, and white zori sandals with white straps. Over the uniform, he wears his signature yellow and orange haori with a white triangle pattern.

Inosuke was abandoned by his mother in the forest as an infant and raised by wild boars. He later learned he was born into a dysfunctional family: his father was a frequent drinker and beat his wife, so she fled with the newborn Inosuke to the Eternal Paradise Cult temple, founded by the demon Douma. One day, Kotoha (Inosuke's mother) accidentally saw what Douma was really doing and, in fear, fled into the forest with her child. Pursued by the demon, she reached a cliff, where she was forced to release Inosuke into the river. He was later found by wild boars. To become stronger, Inosuke set out on a journey and accidentally stumbled upon the summit of Mount Fujikasane, where he competed in the Demon Slayer Final Selection and emerged fifth. After the events of chapters 20–27 of the manga and episodes 11–14 of the anime, he joined the company of Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Nezuko Kamado.

rank:hinoe

Inosuke strives to become the strongest fighter and fight demons. He also wants to protect his friends and seek retribution for the deaths of demon slayers.

Keen hearing and touch. Growing up in the mountains, Inosuke developed a phenomenally sensitive sense of touch. He can sense subtle vibrations in the air and even someone's gaze, especially if they're looking at him with hostility. hostile. web.archive.org ru.ruwiki.ru Poison Resistance. Inosuke was able to resist the effects of the deadly poison of the Sixth Upper Moon, indicating possible immunity to virtually all types of toxic substances. Flexibility. He is extremely flexible, able to move his joints and reposition his internal organs at will. Swordsmanship. Inosuke taught himself the art of full-concentration breathing and developed his own style—Beast Breath. This style is based on his instincts and observations of wild animals (boars, bears, wolves). In combat, he uses two serrated swords, which he inflicts himself with a stone.

Inosuke is hot-tempered, reckless, confrontational, blunt, and proud. He often picks fights with stronger opponents without considering the consequences. He enjoys competition and often tries to provoke his comrades, Tanjiro and Zenitsu, into duels. Because Inosuke grew up alone in the mountains, he has difficulty communicating with other people, cannot read or write, and has trouble remembering names. As the story progresses, under Tanjiro's influence, Inosuke learns to spend more time strategizing, analyzing his opponent and assessing risks, and accepting help. He develops feelings of compassion and camaraderie. Inosuke is quite vengeful, especially when people whose well-being he cares about suffer.

Inosuke is a young man of average height (164 centimeters) with a pale complexion and a toned, muscular build. He has large, wide-set eyes with long eyelashes, irises ranging from dark to a soft pale green, black pupils with a small white dot in the center, thin eyebrows, and a well-defined mouth. Thick, jet-black hair reaches to the shoulders, turning blue at the ends, forming unruly and uneven bangs. Inosuke usually appears shirtless. Of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, he wears only dark blue pants secured with a wide wool belt and matching blue wool socks with exposed toes and heels. His most distinctive feature is his light gray mask, shaped like a hollowed-out boar's head. He modified it, changing the eyes so he could see while wearing it. The mask belonged to his late adoptive boar mother.

A thousand years ago, during the Heian period, Muzan was transformed into a demon as a result of an experimental treatment for his incurable disease. While Muzan was still in his mother's womb, his heart stopped several times. He was born without a pulse and didn't breathe, leading to him being considered stillborn. He let out his first cry just as they were about to cremate him. Later, Muzan realized that the medicine the doctor had given him had actually worked—his body had become stronger. Because sunlight was now lethal to him, Muzan was forced to lead a nocturnal lifestyle. One of the key figures in Muzan's story is Michikatsu Tsugikuni (later known as Kokushibo). Envious of his younger brother, Michikatsu accepted Muzan's offer to become a demon and received the name Kokushibo, becoming the first Upper Moon. Muzan also harbored a grudge against the practitioners of the Breath of the Sun, a legendary demon slayer he had encountered in the past.

The character's core premise is the fear of death and the desire for absolute immortality. Muzan wants to overcome his fatal weakness to sunlight. To do so, he seeks the "Blue Spider Lily"—a medicine he believes will make him immune to the sun. Muzan also hopes that one day a demon will be found who can walk in sunlight without burning. He plans to absorb such a demon to gain its abilities and become completely invulnerable.

Regeneration: He can remain alive even if his body or head is completely destroyed. Extrasensory perception. Able to sense the presence of other demons or someone's bloodlust. Absorption. Can devour other demons or objects. Poison Resistance. His body is much more resistant to wisteria poison, which is lethal to normal demons. Demon Control. Controls demon bodies to a certain extent. Muzan also has seven hearts and five brains.

He does not tolerate mistakes or weaknesses, especially from his subordinates, but is capable of rewarding those who successfully carry out his orders. His behavior is characterized by pronounced narcissism and a sense of superiority. Muzan cannot tolerate objections, questions, or attempts to challenge his decisions. Any display of disrespect can provoke a sharp and violent reaction from him. He tends to view others solely as means to his own ends, not recognizing their intrinsic value. Relationships with subordinates are built on fear and absolute obedience. Muzan easily discards those who are no longer useful, viewing them as expendable. At the same time, he possesses a high level of intelligence and observation, skillfully exploiting the weaknesses of those around him, especially in moments of despair. He is virtually devoid of empathy and remorse, and justifies his own actions with the notion of a natural order in which the strong have the right to destroy the weak.

Muzan typically appears as a young man, around twenty years old. He has wavy black hair and plum-red, cat-like eyes. His skin is unnaturally pale, easily mistaken for unhealthy. He has sharp blue nails. Muzan wears extravagant clothing, including a white hat with a red ribbon. In his first appearance, he was shown wearing a black tuxedo with embroidery, a white tie, a black shirt, white trousers, and black loafers. One of the character's key features is the ability to completely change his appearance. Throughout the story, Muzan uses several forms, including that of an adult man, a woman, and a child. In his female form, he wears a yukata with a floral pattern, his hair is pulled back into a voluminous bun, his face is covered in makeup, and he has demonic claws on his hands. In critical condition, Muzan is capable of further deforming his body, opening his mouth wide and changing the shape of his eyes. When exposed to sunlight, he assumes his final form—a massive, infant-like creature.

The Kamado family was killed by Muzan Kibutsuji while Nezuko was under his control. She managed to survive, but was later transformed into a demon. When Tanjiro returned, Nezuko attempted to attack him, but then came to her senses and protected her brother from Giyu Tomioka. Surprised by her behavior, Giyu advised the siblings to seek Sakonji Urokodaki. After a two-year slumber, Nezuko began assisting Tanjiro in his fight against demons. Tanjiro made it his goal to help his sister and avenge the death of his family.

Tanjiro Komado and Nezuko Komado are always together and almost never leave each other's side due to the fact that they are brother and sister.

Strength Growth Rate: Thanks to the large amount of blood she received from Muzan Kibutsuji, Nezuko quickly adapts and fights increasingly powerful opponents. Regeneration. Can regenerate severed body parts in seconds. Changes in body size. Can increase or decrease in size. Demonic Blood Art. Able to instantly ignite her blood from any fire source and control the flame's temperature. Resistance to sunlight. Unlike most demons, sunlight does not incinerate her body. Berserker mode. In dire situations, she can transform into a more demonic form: her body grows larger, covered in a pattern of vines, and a horn grows on the right side of her forehead. This dramatically increases her combat power, but can create problems for those close to her.

Before her transformation into a demon, Nezuko was a kind, caring, and responsible older sister who put others first. She helped her mother with the housework and didn't consider it a burden, even if it sometimes meant going without new clothes to ensure her younger siblings had enough food. After becoming a demon, she partially lost her memories, but retained her desire to protect those she considers family. Thanks to the influence of Sakonji Urokodaki, who influenced her during her two-year slumber, Nezuko still strives to protect her loved ones. Unlike most demons in the franchise's universe, she doesn't seek to consume humans or harm them. She has a strong will, which manifests itself in her refusal to consume human flesh and blood, even in cases of extreme trauma or exposure to human blood. Nezuko is calm, especially with her brother Tanjiro, and friendly among friends. On the rare occasions when she tries to speak, she stutters—this may be due to her bamboo mouthpiece and the fact that she didn't speak for two years after becoming a demon.

In human form: slender build; long black hair, which she tied into a bun; dark pink eyes that appeared lighter at the bottom of the iris and darker at the top; light skin. In demonic form: long black wavy hair with fiery orange tips; soft-looking pink eyes (Persian pink in the center, lighter at the edges); noticeably large protruding fangs; Pointed stiletto nails with a light pink base color and ombre that transitions to a red-orange at the tip.

Tanjiro grew up in the mountains with his parents and siblings, being the eldest child in the Kamado family. After his father died of illness, he took on the role of breadwinner, selling coal in the nearby town to earn money for the family. One day, Tanjiro returned home to find his entire family murdered, except for Nezuko, who had been transformed into a demon. After meeting the demon slayer Giyu Tomioka, Tanjiro joined the Demon Slayer Corps to find a way to save his sister and avenge his family. Throughout the story, Tanjiro trained under the former demon slayer Urokodaki, mastering various techniques. Rank: Hinoe

Enhanced sense of smell. Even before his sword training, Tanjiro could smell "interval threads"—small pauses in an opponent's movement—and differentiate their variations, as well as determine the approximate location of enemies. After training, he could smell emotions and track objects, people, and demons over great distances. Swordsmanship. Tanjiro has mastered the "Water Breathing" and "Dance of the Fire God (also known as the "Sun Breathing") techniques. However, his body is not fully suited for these styles. Demon Slayer's Mark. In rare cases, Tanjiro can awaken this ability, which dramatically increases his strength, speed, and reflexes. However, it can only be used briefly, as it drains his body.

Tanjiro is naturally kind and is described as "a man with kind eyes." He is determined, driven, and doesn't give up until he achieves his goal. A key character trait is his compassion, which he often displays even toward demons. Tanjiro's top priority is protecting his younger sister, Nezuko, who was transformed into a demon. He is ready to stand by her side in any situation. At the same time, he is not afraid to ask others for help when needed. Over time, gaining experience, Tanjiro becomes more calculating and rigorous in his decisions. Thanks to his courage and desire to protect the weak, he faces his opponents with respect and dignity, be they human or demon.

Tanjiro is a man with tanned skin and an athletic build. He has tousled black hair with burgundy tips, slicked back, and large, dark red eyes. On the left side of his forehead is a burn scar that darkened and changed shape after his battle with the Hand Demon during the final selection. He wears a dark red Demon Slayer uniform, over which he wears a black and green checkered haori and hanafuda earrings with a red sun design.

Butterfly Mansion is a location in the Demon Slayer Blade (DSB) world where Demon Hunters can receive medical treatment, rest, and recover after battles. This estate is associated with the Kocho sisters, Shinobu and Kanae. It's where they receive treatment, and after full recovery, they conduct rehabilitation training. The estate is home not only to demon slayers but also to other people who assist in the recovery process. For example, Aoi Kanzaki created a training regiment to help Tanjiro Kamado, Inosuke Hashibira, and Zenitsu Agatsuma recover from the battles on Mount Natagum. In the estate's garden, there is a flowering cherry tree that the first user of Flower Breath planted and named the "Victory Tree."

(In this estate live and work: Shinobu Kocho, Kanae Kocho, Kanao Tsuyuri, Aoi Kanzaki, and three little girls who help them treat the wounded).

He was born into a woodcutter's family, along with his twin brother, Yuichiro. After their parents died (his mother died of bronchitis, and his father died after falling off a cliff during a storm), the brothers were left orphans. When Amane, Kagai Ubuyashiki's wife, found them and offered them the opportunity to join the Demon Slayer Corps (it was revealed that they were descendants of swordsmen), Muichiro was excited about the opportunity to become a powerful swordsman and help others, but Yuichiro rejected the offer, believing that they were being used. One night, a demon attacked the brothers. Yuichiro died protecting Muichiro, losing his left arm. Enraged, Muichiro fought the demon alone until dawn, and when he returned to the hut, he found Yuichiro gravely wounded and dying. In his final moments, Yuichiro revealed the meaning of the character "mu" in Muichiro's name—infinity—and held his brother's hand until he died. Muichiro lost his memory after this tragic event, which affected his character and led to the cold and indifferent demeanor that characterizes his role as Hashira. Later, Amane found Muichiro and brought him to Ubuyashiki

Mitsuri was born into a family with five brothers and sisters. From a young age, she possessed extraordinary strength thanks to her unique muscle structure. She consumed several times more food than the average person. At 17, Mitsuri was rejected by a suitor who couldn't accept her differences. Afterward, she dyed her hair black, began feigning weakness, and reduced her food intake to fit in with other girls, despite the health risks. One day, Mitsuri met Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who inspired her to embrace her gifts. As a result, she joined the ranks of the Demon Slayers and used her abilities to achieve the status of a Pillar. In the Corps, Mitsuri hoped to find a suitor who would be stronger than her, but this plan failed, as many other fighters, not counting the Pillars, were still inferior to her in strength. During the events in the Blacksmith Village, Mitsuri quickly subdued and defeated a group of demons created by Gyokko. She later played a major role in the fight against Rank Four Hantengu, particularly his clone, Zohakuten.

rank: hashiro

Mitsuri originally joined the Demon Slayer Corps to find a husband stronger than her. She hoped to find a man who would love her.

Physical strength and flexibility. Mitsuri possesses a unique muscle composition, the density of which is eight times greater than that of a normal human.

Tengen was born, presumably during the Meiji period, into a family of shinobi (ninja). He had eight brothers and sisters, all of whom were shinobi, but by Tengen's 15th birthday, seven of them had already died. The family was in decline, and their panicked father forced the children into intensive training. The only survivors were Tengen and his second younger brother. Tengen later abandoned the shinobi path and, along with Suma, Makio, and Hinatsuru, who became his future wives, became demon hunters under the influence of Kagai Ubuyashiki. He later became the Sound Pillar.

rank: hashiro

Sound Breathing is a unique breathing style that Tengen created. This is an offshoot of Thunder Breathing. The style allows you to analyze your opponent's movements and convert them into sounds, which helps you predict attacks and use them for your own purposes. The Nichirin Twin Cleavers are two broad swords with black and orange blades connected by a chain at the ends of the hilts. This more than doubles the attack range. Poison Resistance - Thanks to the strict training of shinobi, Tengen has a strong immunity to toxins. Keen Hearing - He can use echolocation, which increases his combat abilities. The "Musical Score" technique combines Tengen's heightened hearing with the Breath of Sound. With its help, he analyzes the rhythm and patterns of the opponent's attacks, creating countertactics. Tengen was one of the strongest and most experienced fighters in the Demon Slayer Corps. He was considered the second most physically strong among the pillars of his generation.

Tengen is an eccentric and bright person, obsessed with brightness, spectacle and talent in all aspects of life. He loudly proclaimed himself the "God of Holidays" and insisted that everything—whether it be a mission, a movement, or a way of thinking—be it vivid. His dramatic personality is most evident in moments of exaggerated speech or spectacle, such as when he imagined a "spectacular" explosion of a comrade's blood vessels. Despite his outward rudeness and self-confidence, Tengen is kind at heart and feels responsible for his actions. He appreciates teamwork and in serious moments shows a more balanced and strategic position. At the same time, he is ready to protect people, including ordinary ones, at the cost of his life. He has three wives - Makio, Suma and Hinatsuru, whom he treats with love and tenderness.

Tengen is a tall, broad-shouldered, and muscular man. He has lightly tanned skin and gray hair. The longest strands reach his shoulders, while three shorter strands are arched, forming bangs between his eyes and on either side of his face. His eyes are thin and dark burgundy, with a single long eyelash on each.

The longest strands reach his shoulders, while three shorter strands are arched, forming bangs between his eyes and on either side of his face. His eyes are thin and dark burgundy, with a single long eyelash on each.

During his service in the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen wore a standard black sleeveless uniform, a maroon cloth wrap around his calves, tucked-in tatsuke hakama trousers, and a zōri with white straps. He wore two thick gold rings on his forearms, and another set of thinner gold rings on his wrists. He wore a white headband that covered his hair, leaving only a thin ponytail hanging down the back of his head visible. He also wore red makeup around his left eye—alternating large and small dots that extended inward toward the corner of his eye.

Several years before the main events, Shinobu and her older sister Kanae's parents were killed by a demon. The sisters were saved by the Pillar Gyomei Himejima. Vowing to protect people and prevent such a thing from happening again, they joined an anti-demon organization. Later, Shinobu and Kanae bought Kanao, a slave girl whom Kanae had decided to take to the Butterfly Estate. Shinobu was unable to participate in the Pillar training and instead decided to train Kanao to help her. During the operation on Mount Natagumo, Shinobu worked alongside Giyu Tomika, and after the mission, she helped Zenitsu and the people turned into spiders by taking them to the Butterfly Estate, where all those injured during the mission were treated and rehabilitated under her supervision.

rank: hashiro (The other hashiros call Shinobu Kocho the weakest hashiro)

Originally, Shinobu wanted humans and demons to be friends. However, after the death of Kanae's older sister, this faith was destroyed. She continues to hunt demons, hoping to one day meet their killer. However, Shinobu believes that demons must receive punishment corresponding to the number of people they have killed before they can repent.

Skills in fencing. Skilled with a blade, he can inflict dozens of short blows with a katana to inject as much poison as possible into the enemy.

Outwardly, Shinobu demonstrates a bright, friendly, and cheerful demeanor, always having a good-natured smile on his face, regardless of the situation. However, this behavior is a mask. She is straightforward, keeps calm and aloof in any situation. He likes to tease others, sometimes he is sardonic. She has a strong sense of justice and is willing to severely punish demons for harming humanity.

Can be ruthless, such as killing the Spider Demon's Daughter after giving her false hope of help, and attempting to kill Nezuko Kamado without giving her brother Tanjiro a chance to prove that she is harmless to humans. Suffers from an inferiority complex due to lower physical abilities compared to other Hashira, envious of those who are taller or more muscular. Behind a smile, she hides a constant rage that is associated with the loss of her sister Kanae and the death of her parents.

A petite young woman with a slender build with pale skin that contrasts sharply with pink lipstick. Large eyes with a gradient purple iris that lacks pupils, only a haze that changes from a lighter to a darker shade. There are white highlights on the upper iris, which makes the eyes look like those of insects. Blue-black wavy hair, which turns into a dark purple shade at the ends. The hair is gathered at the back of the head in a flat bun called yakai-maki, fastened with a white and purple hairpin in the form of a butterfly. Divided in the center is a lush bang to the ears and two thinner strands of hair to the chin in front of the ears. Shinobu stands out for her petite stature and small build, which is later confirmed by her words that she does not have enough physical strength to decapitate a demon like the other Demon Slayer's standard uniforms are: a dark purple jacket with a straight lining and hakama pants tucked into a butterfly-patterned fabric. A white haori with a butterfly wing pattern on it, which belonged to her older sister Kanae. The color gradient on the sleeves and hem goes from white to turquoise and then to pink. The cuffs and hem have a black trim with pale turquoise dots reminiscent of the edges of a butterfly's wings. White sandals with purple straps. In her right sandal, Shinobu hid a hidden blade as a last resort.

Before becoming a demon slayer and a stone pillar, Gyomei lived in a temple with the nine orphans he raised. The area where they lived was often attacked by demons, so at sunset, Gyomei always lit wisteria incense to ward them off. One day, one of the children broke the rules and left the temple at night, encountering a demon. To save his own life, the child offered to let the demon eat the other children, including Gyomei, and led the monster into the temple. Four children were instantly killed, and the rest fled in panic, despite Gyomei's pleas to stay close. Only the youngest girl, Sayo, survived, having obeyed Gyomei and taken refuge behind him. The demon wounded Gyomei, but he defended himself and the girl, beating the monster with his bare hands until dawn. However, Sayo, in shock, became confused in her testimony and was unable to clearly confirm Gyomei's innocence. He was accused of murder and imprisoned, but thanks to the intervention of Kagai Ubuyashiki, he was released before his execution. Becoming a Demon Hunter at Ubuyashiki's request, Gyomei achieved pillar rank within two months thanks to his strength and talent.

He is eccentric, inclined not to restrain emotions, but at the same time he has tremendous strength of spirit, which was instilled in him by his mother.

hashiro rank (other demon slayers call him one of the strongest hashiro).

Sanemi grew up in a family of seven children. His father was violent and constantly beat his children and wife. After his father's death, Sanemi and his younger brother Genya took responsibility for protecting the family. One night, the mother did not return home. Sanemi went to find her and found that she had turned into a demon. She attacked the children, except for Sanemi and Genya. Sanemi was able to disarm it and take it out into the sun, where it was burned. In doing so, he realized that his blood was affecting the demons, causing them to become lethargic and lose concentration. Because of these events, Sanemi was psychologically traumatized: he began to see everything in black and white, which created problems at night. He also began to develop suicidal tendencies, and in an attempt to numb his heartache, he began to hunt demons on his own. Later, Sanemi met a real demon hunter, Masatika Kumeno, who recommended him to a master who taught "wind breathing". After becoming a fighter, Sanemi eventually reached the rank of Hashira. His relationship with his brother was complicated: after his mother's death, Genya accused Sanemi of killing her, and Sanemi disowned him. Later, upon learning that Genya eats demon flesh for power, Sanemi became enraged and tried to blind his brother, but was intercepted by Tanjiro Kamado.

Sanemi seeks to protect the weak and prevent others from experiencing what he had to go through. He wants to protect his loved ones from the suffering that he himself has experienced. At the same time, his toughness and detachment often mask his deep concern for those who are dear to him.

He is able to fight on equal terms with Upper Moon demons, such as Kokushibo. Rare blood (marachi).

Despite his seeming impulsiveness, Sanemi is able to quickly analyze the fight, adapt to the opponent and sacrifice something for the sake of victory. He has great speed and reflexes. Tactical thinking. He has impressive observation and understanding in combat, especially due to his action-based thinking.

Sanemi is a harsh, short-tempered, extroverted and stubborn person, often acting impulsively and quickly irritated. He may be indifferent to others and lose his temper easily. At the same time, under the harsh façade, there is a deep trauma, fear of losing loved ones and a huge responsibility for those who are dear to him. The only person Sanemi showed respect for was Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and then only after he realized that this man was much more than he first appeared. Sanemi has a deep hatred for demons and is convinced that humans and demons can never coexist. At the same time, he is uncompromising in the fight for justice and protection of the weak.

Dreams Giyu strives to preserve his life in the name of those who died for him. He understands that he must remember his duty and responsibility to his loved ones who did not survive. Story As a young man, Giyu lost his entire family to a demon attack. He survived thanks to the self-sacrifice of his older sister, Tsutako, who protected him. Giyu told people that a demon had killed her, but they deemed him mentally ill and tried to send him to a relative who practiced medicine. Giyu attempted to escape and nearly died, but was saved by a hunter who knew Urokodaki. At 13, Giyu met Sabito, and they became close friends due to their similar fates and ages. Both advanced to the final selection at Wisteria Mountain. During the test, Giyu was injured, and Sabito saved him, then helped the other students. When Giyu awoke, he learned he had passed the selection, but his friend had died. Giyu later became a student of Sakonji Urokodaki and eventually took over the position of Water Pillar. The name Giyu (義勇) can mean "loyalty," "courage," or "bravery." The family name Tomioka (冨岡) can be interpreted as "prosperous hill" or "rich ridge," symbolizing strength, heritage, or a connection to nature—in keeping with the water-based breathing techniques Giyu practices.

rank: hashiro (he's very aloof and the other Hashiros don't like him)

Giyu is a serious, reserved, and laconic person. He has a strong sense of justice and responsibility. Despite the outward coldness and detachment, there is a place for compassion and empathy in it. He is willing to put himself in danger to save the lives of others. At the same time, Giyu does not know how to get along with people and is cold with everyone. He has developed a sense of guilt for not being able to save his loved ones, his sister Tsutako and friend Sabito, who sacrificed themselves for him. Because of this, he sometimes considers himself unworthy of the title of Hashira.

During the fight with the Lower Moon, Rui Giyu was able to cut off his head instantly. Ability to think strategically. He successfully operated the Water Pavilion and sent other fighters

On top, he wears a haori, divided in the middle into two parts: the right one is solid red, the left one is with a geometric pattern in the form of rhombuses of green, orange and yellow shades. These haori belonged to his late older sister Tsutako and friend Sabito.

Kanae was described as a kind and carefree girl, almost always wearing a welcoming smile. She showed concern for others: for example, when Sanemi Shinazugawa made a harsh remark about the leader, Kagae Ubuyashiki, Kanae gently pointed out his concern for his charges. She also had a stern side. This was evident when, during a wounded Shinobu's battle with Douma, Kanae's spirit commanded her sister to continue fighting despite her doubts.

Kanae dreamed of a future in which humans could live peacefully alongside demons, despite all the suffering and death they had caused. This dream was later adopted by her younger sister, Shinobu.

Combat prowess. She used the "Flower Breathing" technique, a branch of the "Water Breathing" technique. Her techniques include the second style "Plum Spirit," the fourth "Scarlet Hanagoromo," the fifth "Peonies of Emptiness," and the sixth "Swirling Peach." The final form is "Equinox Scarlet Eyes." Kanae maximized her kinetic vision, seeing the world in slow motion. However, using this technique is dangerous: the extreme strain on the eyes can lead to ruptured blood vessels and partial or complete blindness. Fearlessness and courage. Considered one of the most powerful female fighters.

Kanae was a slender girl who was quite tall for her age. She had: pale skin and bright red lips that contrast with the overall tone of the face; long, straight black hair that reached just below her waist, with two shorter strands that fell over her shoulders and curved bangs that reached her ears on either side of her face; light lilac (pale violet) eyes with a slanted shape, bright, like a beetle, with many white sparkles reflecting the light; a pair of green and pink butterfly hair clips that she wore on either side of her head. She wore a purple (black in the manga, dark purple in the anime) version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, over which she wore a white haori with a butterfly design that faded to mint green and then pink at the cuffs and hem.

Kanae grew up in a loving family of pharmacists, along with her parents and younger sister, Shinobu. Everything changed when a demon attacked their home: their parents were killed before their sisters' eyes. They were saved by the pillar Gyomei Himejima, who severed the demon's neck. After these traumatic events, Kanae and Shinobu decided to become demon slayers to protect others and prevent them from experiencing the same losses. They later passed Gyomei's test and convinced him to introduce them to a slayer trainer, where Kanae created the "Breath of the Flower."

In this Universe, Kanae Kocho survived and is still alive today, working and living in the Butterfly Manor.
