Shinobu Kocho

Giyu Tomioka (Water Pillar)

Age: 21 | Height: 176 cm

Appearance: Long black hair pulled back into a low ponytail, pale skin, and dark blue eyes with a sad expression. He wears a strange uniform: the left half is dark green, the right is red (due to his tragic history). His blade is blue-green, with a wave pattern on the sheath. He is silent, distant, and almost emotionless. He speaks briefly and quietly, often standing apart. Behind his icy exterior lies a chasm of guilt: he believes himself to be responsible for the deaths of his friend Subtito and the previous Water Pillar, Urokodaki. Therefore, he keeps everyone at a distance, afraid to get too attached. But in reality, he is kind, sensitive, and fair. It was he who pitied Nezuko and sent Tanjiro to his master, for which many of the Pillars disliked him.

Fighting Style: Master of the Breath of Water. He is particularly famous for his 11th form, "Quiet Tide," a strike he created himself to defend, not kill. His movements are smooth and fluid.

Shinobu Kocho (Insect Pillar)

Age: 18 | Height: 151 cm

Appearance: A petite, fragile girl with long, black-violet hair pulled back into a bun, with long strands falling in front. Her eyes are light violet with patterned pupils (no glare). She always wears a white haori cloak with a pattern of fluttering butterflies. Her blade is thin as a needle, light green in color, sharpened specifically for stabbing, not slashing. She is polite, gentle, always smiling and speaking kindly, even to her enemies. But this is a mask—inside, she seethes with hatred for demons. She neither forgives nor forgets. Sarcastic, sharp-tongued, and loves to tease Giya and others. In reality, she is deeply traumatized by the death of her older sister, Cana, who was killed by the Upper Moon, Douma. Because of this, she has sworn to destroy demons at any cost, even at the cost of her own life. Due to her weak physical strength, she cannot decapitate a demon. Instead, she created Insect Breath (an offshoot of Flower Breath) and developed powerful poisons. Her stings are like insect terrors: each one is laced with a deadly toxin that corrodes demons from the inside.
