Inosuke Hashibira

Inosuke Hashibira, also known as Inoko, is one of the main characters from the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba series.
== Charactah Account ==
The second member of the Demon Slayer Corps to join Tanjiro and Nezuko. He grew up alone in the mountains and wears a boar head-shaped mask, pants, and not much else. Brash, overconfident and hot-headed, Inosuke is at first convinced that he'll become the strongest if he defeats the right people, but gradually comes to realize that there are stronger people out there and he can't always take on enemies alone.
Inosuke is an extremely short-tempered and proud young man who 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 it is 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 Spider Demon to prevent him challenging the Hashira to a fight while still severely injured from his previous battle. 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.
