* Manga

**Amane Ubuyashiki** (産 (うぶ) 屋 (や) 敷 (しき)  あまね, *Ubuyashiki Amane*?), née **Himorogi** あまね (Himorogi Amane, *****Himorogi** あまね***?),
is a supporting character in *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba*. She is the wife and primary caretaker of Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the mother of Hinaki, Nichika, Kiriya, Kanata, and Kuina Ubuyashiki.

## Appearance

Amane is a fair woman with pale skin and large, lavender eyes and short eyebrows. She wears her white-colored right-swept hair in a short ponytail with two strands of hair let loose at the front.

Amane wears a salmon-colored kimono with an ombre to orange at the top with flower patterns with a dark-indigo haori with numerous blue butterfly-patterns. She also wore a brown with a paler shade striped-obi with an orange obiage supporting it.

## Personality

Amane is shown to possess the same quiet, strict and serious disposition as her husband and children, acting professionally and tactfully when communicating with the Hashira during her time filling in for husband when his health began to fail. She is shown to be just as devoted to the Demon Slayer Corps as her husband and children as well, and spared no time in trying to figure out anything that could be used to turn the tide of battle in to their favor.

As well as this, Amane has been shown to truly love and care for her husband, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and is seen constantly nursing him and staying by his side as his body slowly began to fail and his health further worsened. In fact, the only time Amane dropped her usual controlled demeanor was when Kagaya's health began to severely plummet and he began to cough out blood, causing her to immediately panic and worry as she barked out orders for her children to help her treat him, showing a genuine sense of love between them. Later, upon Kagaya reaching the end of his life and being approached by Muzan, Amane chose to stay by his side and commit suicide via bombing in order to die together with him and severely injure Muzan at the same time, fully showcasing her immense devotion to both her husband and the Demon Slayer Corps.

Amane was also noted to have been a loving, caring and strict parent to her children, making sure to raise them to be independent and emotionally strong in order to prepare them for her and her husband's inevitable deaths. She showed a strong amount of faith and love towards her children and their potentials.

## History

Amane first met the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps at the age of 17, when Kagaya was only 13 years old. She was specifically selected by a priest to become Kagaya's wife in order to care for his medical needs, but he only agreed to the marriage on the condition that she cared for him on her own free will. Amane gave birth to quintuplets.

Amane once travelled to the mountains in order to recruit the descendants of the first Breathing Style, the young twins Yuichiro and Muichiro Tokito. She explained their lineage and asked them to join the Demon Slayer Corps; despite Muichiro's excitement, Yuichiro bitterly turned her away and forced her to leave. She would attempt several more times to recruit them but was finally driven away when Yuichiro splashed her with water. Some time later, after the twins were attacked by a demon and laid in their house alone for several days, Amane and her daughters Hinaki and Nichika found them. Unfortunately, Yuichiro had already died.

Amane held the barely living Muichiro and prayed he would survive as her daughters tended to his wounds. When he recovered, Muichiro began to train intensely and relentlessly. Nichika attempted to stop him out of concern but Amane prevented her, reassured that despite Muichiro's badly injured state, he was doing something he needed to do.

## Synopsis

### Mugen Train Arc

Amane is seen accompanying her husband as he visited the graves of fallen Demon Slayers. They hear about the death of the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, with Kagaya expressing his proudness in the young man and believing he would soon join him.

### Swordsmith Village Arc

During his battle with Upper Rank Five Gyokko, Muichiro was nearly killed as he was poisoned and nearly suffocated in one of the demon's Blood Demon Arts. His life flashed before him and he recalled his forgotten past, including the first time he met Amane and her attempts to recruit them as Demon Slayers. Later on, after awakening mysterious marks that dramatically enhanced his physical abilities, Muichiro confront Gyokko with uncharacteristic anger, noting that it was the same boiling rage that allowed him to train even whilst severely injured. Amane had recognized his will and even stopped one of her daughters from interfering with his training.

### Hashira Training Arc

Following Kagaya's further worsening state, Amane became the one to address and speak with the Hashira in his place.
