Mitsuri Kanroji is the Hashira of Love, the only female swordsman among the active Hashira (at the time of the story). Here's her portrait:

Appearance: Luxurious pink-green hair (grading from roots to tips), large violet eyes with triangular pupils. Wears a short kimono with floral patterns and always wears heels—even in battle.
Personality: Emotional, flirtatious, loves beautiful things and everything "fine." She speaks in diminutive terms and is constantly looking for a suitor (due to family pressure to marry). But behind this easygoing demeanor lies a steely will and colossal muscle mass.
Tragedy: Born into a samurai family where women were merely "incubators." She was forced to wear a corset to conceal her figure and groomed for marriage. She escaped by joining the Corps, where she found meaning—defending what she considered beautiful.
Fighting Style: "Breath of Love" – a derivative of the Breath of Flame (trained by Rengoku). Her sword is a flexible blade like a whip (a nitin-to with a chain), which she unwinds into whirlwind attacks. Her techniques are named after feelings: "First Love," "Shy Lily," etc.
Physical Strength: Incredibly muscular (steel muscles under his kimono). He can punch through stone and fight without breathing for longer than others.
In battle: She fights with a smile, but becomes enraged if someone is injured. In the final battle against the Upper Moon 4 demon clone, she sacrifices her arms to kill him and survives (a rarity for a Hashira).

She is living proof that tenderness and strength are one and the same. She adored Rengoku as a mentor and cried at his grave.

Kyojuro Rengoku is the Hashira of Fire, the embodiment of passion and nobility. Here is his portrait:

Appearance: Long, fiery red hair with yellow tips, piercing golden eyes, and a wide smile. Always wears a gakama with a flame pattern.
Personality: Hyperenergetic, loud, and cheerful. He speaks in a singsong voice, constantly exclaims, "Delicious!" and sincerely admires every moment of life. An absolute altruist—for him, protecting the weak is the highest happiness.
Tragedy: His mother died young, and his genius father drank himself to death after failing to protect his wife from a demon. Rengoku mastered the Breath of Fire technique alone from ancient scrolls and became a Hashira at age 20 to prove to his father that the path of a swordsman is noble.
Fighting Style: "Breath of Fire" – powerful, linear attacks with immense destructive power. His signature move is "Fire Wheel Flame" (a circular slash resembling the rising sun).
Role in the plot: Tanjiro's mentor. He taught the protagonist that "burning with one's heart" is more important than technique. In the Infinity Train arc, he fought alone against Akaza (Upper Moon 3), protecting all the passengers. He died smiling, passing on his will to Tanjiro.
· Key quote: "Grow stronger! The flame in your heart will never go out!"

He is the moral compass of the entire Corps. Even demons acknowledged his greatness (Akaza wept after killing him because he saw in him the perfect warrior).

Sanemi Shinzugawa is Hashira Vetra, one of the most emotional and rude characters in Blade. Here's his profile:

Appearance: Short, unkempt black hair with green tips, sharp eyes with vertical pupils, scars on his face and chest. Wears teeth earrings and a striped scarf.
Personality: Hot-tempered, brash, swears foully, and yells constantly. But behind this rudeness lies a deep trauma—he hates weakness because he fears losing loved ones.
History: Born into a family of guardians of the Wind Temple, Sanemi's younger brother, Genya (who would later join the Corps), was weak and unable to become a swordsman. To protect his brother, Sanemi joined the Corps himself, but one day a demon killed their adoptive family, and Sanemi nearly killed Genya in a fit of rage, mistaking him for a demon. Since then, he has avoided his brother, believing himself to be a monster.
Fighting Style: "Breath of Wind" – aggressive, circular attacks with incredible speed. His technique is like a hurricane that cuts through everything around him.
· Tool: Wields a green sword with a curved blade and a unique guard. In combat, he relies on animal instinct and instinct rather than calculation.
Personality within the team: He constantly clashes with Tokito (due to his insensitivity) and Genya (due to resentment), but deep down he cares for his comrades. His animal-like sense of smell allows him to sense emotions and lies.

In the Infinity Fortress arc, he finally reconciles with his brother and sacrifices himself to protect Genya, revealing that his "beastly" nature was just a mask.

Tokito Muichiro is one of the strongest swordsmen in Demon Slayer: The Last Airbender. Here's his portrait:

Appearance: Long black hair with an iridescent sheen, large amber eyes, pale skin. Wears a half-mask shaped like a fox's face.
Personality: Detached, absent-minded, speaks quietly and monotonously. Constantly forgets names and important things. Due to a head injury, he has a dissociative disorder—he feels no emotions and has no memory of the past.
Talent: A genius, he became a Hashira Sawyer at 14. He masters the "Moon Breathing" technique, a rare and dangerous style derived from the Sun Breathing. His techniques visually resemble streams of water with a moonlit glow.
Tragedy: He was Yuichiro's older twin brother. To kill a demon, their parents were murdered in front of the boys. Tokito hit his head while protecting his brother but survived, and the demon transformed Yuichiro into a demon. Tokito was forced to kill his brother to prevent him from suffering—this event erased his personality.
In combat: He feels no fear or pain, so he fights without any sense of self-preservation, but his speed and reflexes are off the charts. He fights solely to "protect the weak"—that's the only thought remaining in his shattered mind.

In the final battle against Kokushibo, he finally finds peace, reuniting with his brother.

Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, is the most silent and enigmatic swordsman. Here's his portrait:

Appearance: Long black hair pulled back into a ponytail, dark blue eyes (turquoise in the anime). Always wears a two-tone gakama (green and yellow) and a strict haori with a geometric pattern. His face is stony, emotionless.
Personality: Cold, taciturn, and avoids people. He speaks abruptly and sharply, not out of arrogance, but rather out of social anxiety and guilt. Deep down, he's gentle, kind, and very shy.
Tragedy: His older friend Sabuito (a student of the former Water Hashira Urokodaki) died at the hands of a demon while protecting Giyu. Giyu survived and became a Hashira, but believes he is unworthy of the title because the "true swordsman," Sabuito, has died. He wears Sabuito's haori in memory of his friend.
Fighting Style: "Water Breathing" – the most balanced and versatile style (11 forms, including "Water Surface," "Whirlpool," and "Changing Flow"). Giyu is the foremost master of this style in the Corps (Tanjiro studied with the same Urokodaki, but did not reach Giyu's level).
Role in the plot: He was the one who didn't kill Nezuko in the first chapter, trusting Tanjiro, and gave the whole story a chance. In battle, he's a cool-headed strategist. In the final battle against Kokushibo, he fights alongside Tanjiro and creates a new 14th form, "Lucky Flow," to defeat him.
Relationship with Tanjiro: Initially despised him for his "softness," but eventually came to regard him as a friend and equal. Before the final battle, he smiled for the first time in years, telling Tanjiro, "You've grown stronger... brother."
· Key Phrase: "I am not worthy of being a Hashira... but I will protect everyone Sabuito held dear."

He is a silent guardian who carries the pain of loss in his heart, but never gives up.

Obanai Iguro, the Snake Hashira, is the most secretive and venomous character. Here's his portrait:

Appearance: Long, shoulder-length black hair with green tips, narrow, piercing eyes with vertical pupils (like a snake's). He constantly wears a bandage over his mouth and a striped scarf. He is very thin and pale.
Personality: Gloomy, sarcastic, and caustic. He constantly insults other Hashira (especially Mitsuri) and anyone he deems "weak." He speaks quietly, hissingly, and has little patience for sentimentality. But this is a mask that conceals a profound insecurity and kindness.
Tragedy: Born into a clan cursed by snakes. His twin sister died because of him (he couldn't protect her from a demon). He survived, but considers himself unworthy of life. He joined the Corps to atone for his sins and became a Hashira, despite hating himself.
Fighting Style: "Snake Breath" – derived from the Breath of Water. His sword is a curved, wavy blade that writhes like a snake. His techniques are named after snakes: "Snake Bite," "Boa Constrictor Coils." His movements are fluid, deceptive, and deadly.
Connection with Mitsuri: He secretly has a crush on Mitsuri, but due to his inferiority complex, he constantly treats her rudely and avoids her. Only before the final battle does he admit his weakness to her (and Tanjiro) and ask her to protect Mitsuri.
Role in the finale: In the battle with Kokushibo (Upper Moon 1), he fights alongside Tokito and Genya. He sacrifices himself to give them a chance. He dies smiling when Mitsuri tells him, "You are the strongest and kindest of us."
· Key phrase: "I'm not worthy of even looking at her. But I'll die so she can live."

He is an example of how trauma turns a person into a thorn, but does not kill the love in him.

Tengen Uzui, the Hashira Sound, is the most colorful and outrageous character in Blade. Here's his portrait:

Appearance: He is enormously tall (around 198 cm) and powerfully built. His white hair is streaked with red and green, and he is covered in jewels. He always wears a headband with enormous rubies and an open chest. His left eye is covered by a scar (lost in a battle with a demon).
Personality: Eccentric, loud, narcissistic. Constantly shouts about his "brilliance" and calls everything "not flashy" (not bright enough). Behind this pathos lies a former ninja who is tired of blood and death.
Tragedy: Hailing from a ninja clan, where he and his brothers were turned into killing machines from childhood, he escaped, taking his three wives (Hinatsuru, Makio, and Sumiho—also former ninja) with him, and joined the Corps to live his own life. He hates hypocrisy and "perfect beauty"—sincerity is important to him.
Fighting Style: "Breath of Sound" – a derivative of Breath of Thunder. He wields two large swords with serrated blades shaped like rings, connected by a chain. In battle, he creates deafening noise and vibrations to disorient demons. His techniques include "Rhythm of the First Strike" and "Thunder Rhapsody."
Role in the plot: The main protagonist of the Red Light District arc. He led Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke on the mission against Upper Moon 6 (Gyutaro and Daki). He lost his left arm and right eye in the battle, but survived and retired, passing on the Hashira position. He was the only one to leave the Corps alive and happy.
· Key phrase: “It’s not the brilliance that matters, but how much you burn for others!”

He is proof that even a "golden peacock" can be the most reliable ally. After the battle, he lives quietly with his three wives, training newcomers.

Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Hashira, is the most controversial and tragic heroine of Blade. Here's her portrait:

Appearance: Short purple-black hair with a butterfly-shaped clip, light purple pupil-less eyes (the "empty" effect). Always smiling, wears a fluttering cloak in the shape of butterfly wings.
Personality: Outwardly, she's the embodiment of tenderness and politeness, speaking affectionately and using respectful Japanese. But inside, she simmers with hatred for demons. Her smile is a mask concealing her rage and desire for revenge.
Tragedy: Her older sister, Kanae Kocho (formerly the Flower Hashira), was killed by Doma (Upper Moon 2). Shinobu vowed revenge, but was too physically weak to cut off the demon's head—so she created poisons and became an expert in toxicology.
Fighting Style: "Insect Breathing" – derived from her sister's "Breath of Flowers." Her sword is a thin, rapier-like blade with a forked edge that stabs rather than cuts, injecting poison. Her techniques are named after insects: "Butterfly Dance," "Bee Claw," etc.
Role in the plot: She heals everyone at the Kochou estate and trains Nezuko. She hates demons so much that even Nezuko is her enemy, but tolerates her for Tanjiro's sake. In the final battle against Doma, she sacrifices herself by allowing herself to be eaten in order to poison him from the inside with seven kilograms of poison—thus giving the others the chance to kill Upper Moon 2.
· Key phrase: "I always smile. Because if I stop, I'll kill myself with my own hatred."

She is the only Hashira who cannot cut off heads, but it is her cunning and self-sacrifice that turns the tide of the war.

Akaza is Upper Moon 3, the most tragic and "human" demon in the entire Blade series. Here's his portrait:

Appearance: A tall, muscular man with long, ash-pink hair pulled back into a high ponytail. His eyes are dark, with the words "Upper Moon 3" written across the irises. His body is covered in tattoos of bloody patterns. He wears a tattered kimono with flame patterns. He always looks down at him with an expression of perpetual melancholy.
Personality: Gloomy, taciturn, apathetic. He treats everyone with indifference, even Muzan. But in battle, he transforms—becoming obsessive, furious, ready to fight to the last. He seeks out strong opponents not for bloodshed, but to feel alive. He hates weaklings, yet cries when he kills worthy warriors—because they remind him of his lost past.
Tragedy (in life): He was a poor samurai named Keizo who was trying to support his ailing wife, Koyo. She was dying of an illness, but he couldn't afford the medicine—so he challenged a powerful ronin to a duel and lost. His wife died in his arms, whispering, "Thank you for fighting for me..." He became a demon to gain eternity, but cursed this power because he would never meet her again in the afterlife.
Fighting Style: "Blood Demonic Technique - Burning Breath." He attacks with his bare hands and feet with monstrous strength and speed, leaving trails of fire in his wake. His signature move is the "Destroying Fist" (a series of explosive strikes that incinerate everything in its path). He does not use weapons because he considers himself a "weapon of vengeance."
Battle with Rengoku: His greatest fight in the series. In the Infinity Train arc, he fights against Kyojuro Rengoku. He respects him as a warrior, offers to become a demon, but when he refuses, he kills him. After the battle, he cries over Rengoku's body and says, "You were magnificent... why are humans so fragile?"
Irony: He hates Douma (Upper Moon 2) because Douma is a hypocrite and feels no pain. For Akaza, emotions are sacred. In the final battle against Tanjiro

Douma is Upper Moon 2, the most terrifying and inhumanly "insane" demon among the Kizuki. Here's his portrait:

Appearance: A divinely handsome man with long, silver-white hair shimmering like a rainbow, and ice-crystal-shaped irises with cross-shaped pupils. He always wears a traditional kimono with snowflake patterns and is always smiling. His face is a mask of eternal bliss.
Personality: On the surface, he's the embodiment of compassion and gentleness, speaking tenderly, calling everyone "my dear," crying often (fake), and smiling even in battle. But inside, he's completely empty. He feels no emotion, doesn't understand pain or joy. His entire behavior is a skillful imitation of feelings, rehearsed for centuries to manipulate people and enjoy their suffering as a "spectacle."
Tragedy (before becoming a demon): In life, he was the founder of the "Eternal Paradise" sect, where he devoured his followers, convincing them that eating was the path to salvation. He genuinely didn't understand why people suffered, as for him it was simply "interesting." He became a demon by choice, accepting Muzan's blood, and found it to be an eternal amusement.
Fighting Style: "Blood Demonic Technique - Ice Flowers." Creates enormous ice crystals that explode and pierce everything around them. His signature move is "Ice Mandala" (a massive dome of ice petals that suffocates and slashes opponents). He also creates ice clones that are almost indistinguishable from the original.
Bond with Shinobu: He was the one who killed her sister, Kanae. In the final battle, Shinobu allows himself to be eaten, poisoned from the inside. Doma experiences "pleasure" during the process of being consumed (for the first time in centuries), but as the poison eats away at his body, he loses control. He dies laughing, wondering, "What is this feeling...? Ah, so that's it... that was my death..."
Irony: He hates Akaza (Upper Moon 3) because he's full of genuine emotion—for Doma, it's "dirty" and "unaesthetic." Akaza, in turn, despises him for his hypocrisy.
· Key phrase: “I never understood what grief was.

Kokushibo is Upper Moon 1, the strongest of the twelve Kizuki, and the most tragic antagonist in Blade. Here's his profile:

Appearance: Tall, with long dark hair tied back in a ponytail and three pairs of horns on his head. His forehead is adorned with six yellow eyes (three on each side), and his face is covered with scarlet flame patterns. He wears an old kimono with a moon and sun pattern. His sword is engraved with the words "Destroy all demons"—a taunt of fate.
Who he is: In life, he was Michikatsu Tsugikuni, the older twin brother of Yoriichi (the creator of the Breath of the Sun). He always lived in the shadow of his genius brother, desperately trying to catch up, but never succeeding. Envy and pride led him to Muzan, where he became a demon to gain eternity and surpass his brother.
Tragedy: He loved his brother, but hated his own weakness in comparison. Becoming a demon, he killed all of Yoriichi's students and wiped out the entire Tsugikuni clan. But Yoriichi died of old age before Kokushibo could defeat him—and this broke him. For centuries, he searched for a swordsman worthy of his blade, to prove himself stronger than his brother.
Fighting Style: "Moon Breath"—a distorted, demonic version of the Solar Breath. His strikes create translucent moon-spheres that cut through space. Techniques: "First Form: Moon Darkness," "Sixth Form: Endless Eclipse." His sword is covered in fleshy tentacles, making each swing unpredictable.
· Battle with the Hashira: In the final arc, he fights Tokito Muichiro, Genya, and Obanai Iguro. He recognizes Tokito as his brother's descendant and brutally beats him, reveling in the pain. But when Tokito remembers the past and awakens the Transparent World, Kokushibo sees traces of Yoriichi in him—and momentarily loses his composure.
· Death: He dies by cutting himself open as he sees his brother's ghost smiling at him, "I've always been proud of you, big brother..." Before he dies, he cries and says, "I just wanted to be you..." and crumbles to dust, finally at peace.
· Key phrase: "Yoriichi... even after becoming a demon, I couldn't surpass you. But at least I left after seeing

Gyomei Himejima is the Hashira of the Stone, the strongest and oldest of all active Hashira. Here is his portrait:

Appearance: A huge, muscular man, nearly two meters tall, with short black hair and piercing, pupil-less eyes (he's blind). His face is deeply scarred, and he wears a rosary around his neck. He always wears a torn kimono with a teardrop pattern and carries a huge stone mace with an axe attached to a chain.
Personality: Silent, stern, and religious. Constantly chants mantras and prays to Buddha. He speaks in a deep, calm voice, but in battle, he becomes an uncontrollable machine of destruction. Beneath his stern exterior lies deep pain and humility.
Tragedy: In his youth, he was not a swordsman, but a bandit. He and his gang attacked a temple housing orphans. The children rose to defend the temple, and Gyomei accidentally killed five of them, despite not intending to. Realizing this, he hated himself and devoted himself to religion, vowing to protect the weak—even at the cost of his life.
Fighting Style: "Stone Breathing" is the most powerful and explosive of all the styles. He doesn't use a regular sword, but rather uses a chained mace-weight, delivering crushing blows. His techniques include "First Strike: Solid Rock" and "Fifth Strike: Wheel of Destiny." He can sense vibrations in the air through his prayer beads and fight blindly, better than those with sight.
Role in the finale: In the battle against Muzan, he is the main striking force. It was he who dealt the decisive blow to the Demon Ancestor, breaking its chains and forcing it to retreat. He dies heroically, shielding Tanjiro and the others, taking the fatal blow himself. His final thought is, "Buddha... have I finally redeemed myself?"
· Key phrase: "The weak must protect the weak. There is no greatness in this—it is simply a human duty."

He is a living legend: the strongest Hashira in the history of the Corps, feared even by Muzan.

Kanao Tsuyuri is the adoptive sister of Shinobu and Kanae Kocho, and Tanjiro's love interest in the finale (according to the official manga). Here's her portrait:

Appearance: A petite girl with long black hair pulled back into a low ponytail and large, warm indigo eyes. A soft, slightly shy smile graces her face. She wears a formal haori with floral patterns (in memory of Kanae) and always appears tired but radiant.
Personality: Quiet, gentle, caring, yet with an iron core. She doesn't get angry, but she knows how to be patient and wait. She's very shy and reluctant to express her feelings, but she's deeply devoted to those close to her. Unlike Shinobu, she's not obsessed with revenge—she simply wants to protect.
Tragedy: She was an orphan taken in by the Kocho sisters. Kanae taught her swordsmanship, but Kanao died at the hands of Douma. After Kanae's death, Kanao swore to serve Shinobu, but Shinobu kept her away from battle, afraid of losing another sister. Kanao felt useless, but continued to tend to the wounded at the Kocho estate.
Fighting Style: "Breath of Flowers" (like Kanae). She's not a Hashira, but she is a talented swordsman. Her techniques are graceful and flowing like petals, but she rarely uses them in combat, as her role is support and healing.
Role in the plot: She appears in the final arc as an assistant in the battle against Muzan. She fights alongside the others, but her main role is to be a support for Tanjiro. After Shinobu's death, Kanao inherits her estate and continues to heal people.
Relationship with Tanjiro: She quietly loved him almost from the moment they met. Tanjiro also felt warmth for her, but the constant fighting kept them apart. At the end of the manga, they marry and live a long life, raising great-grandchildren. They have children and grandchildren—Kanao becomes the one who gives him a peaceful future.
· Key phrase: "I'm not strong like Shinobu. But I'll stand by her side—even if it's all I can do."
· Finale: After the war, she becomes the head of the Kocho estate, raising orphans and waiting for Tanjiro to return from missions. They die on the same day, holding hands.

Zenitsu Agatsuma is one of the main characters in "Demon Slayer Blade," a cowardly swordsman with a heart of gold. Here's his portrait:

Appearance: A boy with long yellow hair tied in a ponytail, large green eyes, and pale skin. He wears a yellow checkered gakama with a triangular pattern, mimicking his mentor. Always frightened and tearful, his face is a perpetual mask of terror and anxiety.
Personality: Loud, whiny, panicky, and hysterical. He constantly complains, hides behind others, and begs girls to marry him. But beneath this mask lies a genius. In battle, he completely transforms: he stops thinking, relies on instinct, and becomes lightning fast. His cowardice is compensation for his fear of losing himself in rage.
Tragedy: His family was killed by a demon when he was a child. He miraculously survived and was sent to the Corps, where, due to his weakness, he studied under the former Thunder Hashira, Jokuro. His mentor considered him hopeless, but Zenitsu trained relentlessly because he was afraid of dying.
Fighting Style: "Breath of Thunder" is the only style with one form he has mastered to perfection—"First Strike: Thunderclap." But he has created his own technique: "Final Strike: Bee Buzz," where he delivers a series of lightning-fast strikes in a state of complete detachment. In his sleep, he can use his full power without fear.
· Peculiarities:
· In combat, his speed is almost like that of the Upper Moons.
· He fights with his eyes closed or in a trance, because if he sees the enemy, he will panic.
· His enhanced hearing helps him detect the slightest movements of his opponent.
Relationship with Nezuko: He's deeply in love with Nezuko, calling her "my Nezu-chan," even though she ignores him. This is one of the main comical lines of the series, but in serious moments, he's willing to die for her.
· Role in the finale: In the battle against Muzan and the Upper Ranks, he fights while wounded and nearly blind, but uses his hearing to protect Inosuke and Tanjiro. He survives, marries Nezuko (according to official episodic information in the final chapter), and lives happily ever after.

Tanjiro Kamado, the protagonist of "Demon Slayer Blade," embodies kindness and an unwavering will. Here's his portrait:

Appearance: A short man with chestnut-red hair and large, warm brown eyes. He has a flame-shaped scar on his forehead (he received it when he defended his brother from a demon; it later became the "mark" of his awakening). He wears a green checkered haori and earrings depicting the sun—a relic of his father and the symbol of the heirs of the Breath of the Sun.
Personality: Infinitely kind, sympathetic, and compassionate. He weeps for his enemies when he sees them in tragedy and always tries to understand their pain. But behind this gentleness lies a steel core: he doesn't give up even in hopeless situations, and his will breaks curses. He speaks quietly but convincingly, and does not tolerate injustice.
Tragedy: His family (his mother and four younger siblings) were brutally murdered by a demon, and his only surviving sister, Nezuko, was transformed into a demon. He vowed to find a way to return her to human form and destroy Muzan.
· Peculiarities:
· Keen sense of smell - can sense the scents of emotion, danger, and "demonic essence," which helps him read enemies.
· “Transparent World” is a unique ability to see the internal structure of the body (blood flow, muscles, weak points), available only to a select few.
The Breath of the Sun is the most ancient and powerful style, the foundation of all Breathing. It is passed down in his family through dance (the Fire Kagura). He mastered it gradually, combining his father's techniques with Tokito's teachings.
Role in the plot: He's not a genius fighter, but a man who grows with each battle. His journey stretches from a weak rookie to a swordsman capable of fighting on equal terms with the Upper Ranks. In the finale, he delivers the decisive blow to Muzan, using Yoriichi's technique, "Thirteenth Form."
Relationship with Demons: He is the only swordsman who doesn't hate demons blindly. He sees them as their former selves and sympathizes with them, which makes him unique. Even Akaza acknowledges his strength of spirit in the end.
· Key phrase: "I will never forgive the demons for what they did to

Muzan Kibutsuji is the main antagonist of Demon Slayer: The Last Airbender, the progenitor of all demons, and the ultimate evil. Here's his portrait:

Appearance: He usually appears as a handsome, pale man with long black hair, dark eyes with cat-like pupils, and scarlet patterns on his face and body. He wears an elegant hat and Western suit. However, in his true form, he transforms into a gigantic, multi-armed monster with mouths all over his body, writhing like tentacles.
Personality: An utter egotist, paranoid, and cowardly man. He brooks no disobedience, exterminating anyone he perceives as a threat, yet is terrified of death himself. His primary goal is to achieve immortality and conquer the Sun so he can walk during the day. He is incapable of love or compassion—he even treats his demons as expendable.
Tragedy (origin story): During the Heian period, he was a weak and ill aristocrat, predicted by doctors to die soon. In desperation, he agreed to an experimental treatment with a blue flower (wisteria), but it transformed him into the first demon. He killed his doctor and has since searched for the Blue Flower (wisteria), which would make him resistant to the sun—but for a thousand years, he has never found it.

Muzan feared him so much that he created the Upper Moons to protect him, and he spent all these years hiding, destroying anyone who could master the Breath of the Sun.
· Final: In the decisive battle against the Hashira Corps and Tanjiro, he loses,

Nezuko Kamado is the main character of Demon Slayer Blade, Tanjiro's younger sister, and the only demon in the world who doesn't drink human blood. Here's her portrait:

Appearance: A girl with long brown hair that fades to pink at the tips and large, warm pink eyes. She always holds a bamboo mouthpiece to prevent biting people. She wears a pink kimono with floral patterns and triangular motifs. She was originally human, but after a demon attack, she transformed into a demon while retaining her human consciousness.
Personality: Quiet, affectionate, and incredibly kind. She barely speaks (only purrs or makes cute sounds), but expresses her emotions through her gaze and gestures. She is very attached to Tanjiro and is willing to protect him with her life—even against her own demonic nature. Her main characteristic is her superhuman strength and the ability to increase her size, becoming enormous and aggressive only in critical situations (when she needs to protect her loved ones).
Tragedy: Nezuko's entire family was killed by a demon the same night she became one. She awoke with bloodshot eyes and tried to attack Tanjiro, but he stopped her, and they have traveled together ever since. She is the only demon who remembers her family and resists hunger.
· Peculiarities:
· Hypnotic Sleep - When in danger, she enters a state of "childish sleep" where her demonic instincts are switched off.
· Cure Blood - Her blood can turn demons into humans (antidote to Muzan's cells) and neutralize demonic curses.
· Sun Immunity - In the finale, she becomes the first demon able to survive in sunlight (thanks to a mutation and Tanjiro's efforts).
· Size transformation - can become the size of a house when protecting someone.
· Role in the plot: She is the moral compass for Tanjiro and the entire Corps. Her existence proves that demons are not necessarily monsters. In the final battle, she helps Tanjiro defeat Muzan and then heals him of his demonic

Inosuke Hashibira, aka "Boar," is one of the main characters in "Demon Slayer." Here's his full profile:

Appearance: A stocky, wiry man with a powerful torso, he is almost always shirtless. He wears a wild boar skin with enormous tusks as a mask. His face has sharp features, a stern gaze, and a scar on his forehead. He wields two curved swords with serrated blades resembling animal fangs.
Personality: Aggressive, wild, hot-tempered, and incredibly loud. Constantly growling, calling everyone "worms," ​​and threatening to kill. But behind this bestial mask lies a deeply wounded, loyal, and kind person who is terrified of loneliness and is willing to die for those he considers his "pack."
Tragedy: His mother died at the hands of a demon when he was an infant. He was nursed and raised by a wild boar, and grew up in the mountains, believing himself to be a boar. He knew no human speech until he was found by an old sage—a former swordsman—who taught him fencing and gave him the name "Inosuke" before dying of old age. He swore to protect the weak, just as the pig had once protected him.
· Fighting style: "Beast's Breath" - a unique style he created himself, copying the movements of boars and other forest animals. The techniques are wild and unpredictable:
· "First Strike: Throat-Ripping Fang"
· "Second Strike: Claws that Dig into Flesh"
· "Sixth Strike: Bone-Crushing Roar"
(There are 9 forms in total, some require "animal sense"). He doesn't use standard breathing, but relies on instinct.
