Koto Shinazugawa

* Anime
* Manga

**Koto Shinazugawa** (不死 (しなず) 川 (がわ)  こと, *Shinazugawa Koto*?) was the youngest brother of Sanemi and Genya Shinazugawa.

## Appearance

Koto was a young boy of light skin complexion. His short dark hair was shaved all over and he had large round blue eyes. He bore a resemblance to his mother and his brother Genya

Koto wore a simple dark brown kimono.

## Personality

Being the youngest of his family, Koto had the typical traits of a very young boy, curious but caring. Whilst his siblings waited for their mother to come home, Koto slept in Genya's arms, soundly asleep and feeling safe.

## History

Koto was the youngest child of Shizu and Kyogo Shinazugawa. He had six older siblings, with Sanemi and Genya being the two oldest. His father was extremely abusive and often lashed out at his family, though Koto was always protected by his mother. Eventually, his father was killed in a stabbing.

One night, as Koto, Sumi, Hiroshi, Teiko, and Shuya slept, Sanemi and Genya became concerned that their mother had not come home, leading Sanemi to go out and look for her. Genya stayed behind to watch his siblings, who by now had woken up to wait as well. Koto remained asleep in Genya's arms as he attempted to ease his siblings concerns, asking them to go back to bed.

Suddenly, a loud knock rang rang from the front door, which woke up Koto and led Shuya, Sumi, Hiroshi, and Teiko to believe that their mother had come home. Despite Genya's warning against opening it, the door broken open. Shizu, who had transformed into a demon, killed the four instantly before lunging towards Genya and Koto, slitting the young child's throat as she rushed past him. Despite Genya's efforts, Koto bleed out and died shortly afterwards.

## Synopsis

### Swordsmith Village Arc

In his battle against Upper Rank Four Hantengu, Genya found the main demon controlling the emotion manifestations but failed to cut through its neck. In disbelief, he realized that the manifestation of anger had appeared behind him. Unable to dodge its attack, Genya's life flashed before his eyes and he reminisced on his childhood and the deaths of his siblings and mother.

### Sunrise Countdown Arc

Following the final battle with Muzan Kibutsuji, Sanemi lost consciousness from his sustained injuries and found himself in the afterlife, where he saw Koto in heaven with his fallen siblings.

## Trivia

* Koto's given name means "matter" (こと) in Hiragana.
* Koto's surname **Shinazugawa** contains the kanji for "immortality, eternal life" (不死, *shinazu*?) and "river, stream" (川, *kawa/gawa*?).

Muichiro Tokito/Relationships

## Relationships

### Tanjiro Kamado

During their first few encounters, Tanjiro and Muichiro held a strained relationship. Muichiro reprimanded Tanjiro by flicking a stone at his head after the latter interrupted Kagaya Ubuyashiki's speech, and Tanjiro was bewildered by Muichiro's rude treatment towards Kotetsu at the Swordsmith Village. However, after hearing Tanjiro's advice about helping others, Muichiro was influenced enough to alter his mindset, saving Kotetsu and Kozo Kanamori during Gyokko's attack on the village. After subsequently regaining his memories, Muichiro and Tanjiro became good friends, with Muichiro showing heavy bias towards Tanjiro when they trained together during the Hashira training session.

After hearing about Muichiro's death at the hands of Kokushibo, Tanjiro shed tears over the loss of his friend and vowed to himself he would continue fighting hard.

### Yuichiro Tokito

Yuichiro was Muichiro's elder twin brother, who lived alone with him after their parents' deaths up until his own demise. Yuichiro was cynical about their passing and stated that Muichiro's kindness and self-sacrifice reminded him too much of their father. When Muichiro was considering joining the Demon Slayer Corp., Yuichiro demanded that Muichiro never spoke of it again. After Muichiro's own death, he meets Yuichiro again, who angrily states that that he died too young, breaking down in front of his younger twin brother and showing that he had always cared for his brother and was sad of his passing.

### Kokushibo

Muichiro is the descendant of Kokushibo, a former Demon Slayer during the Sengoku era, who later became Upper Rank One.

When he first meets his ancestor in the Infinity Castle, Muichiro is shrouded by an intense fear completely new to him from the Demon's overwhelming presence. Kokushibo feels a sense of familiarity from Muichiro, later confirming that he is his descendant by blood. When he tells Muichiro of their relation, the Mist Hashira is shocked and refuses to believe him, instead managing to immediately calm himself which impresses the Demon. Muichiro's abilities at his young age continue to surpass Kokushibo's expectations to the point where he proposes to have Muzan Kibutsuji turn him into a Demon.

Hisa

* Anime
* Manga

**Hisa** (ひさ, *Hisa*?) is an elderly lady who welcomes Demon Slayers to rest in her house. Tanjiro Kamado and his group visit her after they fight Kyogai at the Tsuzumi Mansion.

## Appearance

Hisa is a short, old woman with wrinkled skin and thick eyebrows. Her bulky, gray hair is tied into a medium sized bun with two strands poking out behind her ears.

In most of her appearances, Hisa is seen wearing a plain maroon kimono with a purple obi with black zōri and white tabi socks.

## Personality

Hisa comes off as a very kind and welcoming person, bringing in the injured Demon Slayers without hesitation and providing them with commodities for recovery. Despite Inosuke Hashibira's and Zenitsu Agatsuma impolite nature, she proved to be very patient with them and doesn't appear to be affected by their remarks.

Inosuke noted that even with his enhanced perception, Hisa's kind demeanor made it impossible for him to detect her presence because she bore no ounce of ill-will towards him.

## History

Hisa's family was once saved by the Demon Slayers and they started managing a free rest house for them as a token of gratitude for their work.

## Synopsis

### Tsuzumi Mansion Arc

Following their battle at the Tsuzumi Mansion, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke are guided by Tanjiro's Ksaugai Crow to Hisa's lodging for rest and recovery. Opening the door to the commotion outside, Hisa greets the three Demon Slayers and offers them to come in; Inosuke begins poking her, to Tanjiro's annoyance, but she leads them in without notice him. Inside the house, Hisa provides them with new clothes and food. After eating, she provides them with futons to sleep in and introduces them to a doctor to treat their injuries.

After the three have recovered, they are directed to their new mission in the forests of Mount Natagumo. Before they depart, Hisa strike a kiribe flint to bid them good luck on their mission. Confused, Inosuke angrily yells at her, causing Tanjiro to hold him back and Zenitsu to stand in front of Hisa, though she does not mind his behavior.

### Infinity Castle Arc

As Tanjiro watches Giyu Tomioka fight Akaza, he recalls a conversation he had with Inosuke regarding the ability to sense danger through his body. Inosuke notes that while he can detect bloodlust through even a glance at him, Hisa's kind personality inadvertently enabled her to sneak up on him due to her possessing no negative emotions whatsoever.

## Abilities

As an ordinary human, she doesn't posses any additional powers or abilities.

## Trivia

* In Kimetsu Academy, Hisa is Inosuke Hashibira's foster parent. Her specialist dish is tempura, one of Inosuke's favorites, and it's said that whenever something goes wrong, she just pretends to have bad hearing.

## Summary

The battle between Kyojuro and Hairo continues, with each of them exchanging powerful blows. Mitsuri manages to save a young boy and his mother and deactivates the bombs spread around the city, helping Kyojuro. Hairo comes to the realization that Kyojuro is not Shinjuro, but decides to kill him due to him being a nusiance. Hairo uses **Blood Demon Art: Warwolf of Horror**, and Kyojuro realizes that he will need to use **Flame Breathing: Rengoku** in order to defeat him. He succeeds in using the move and Hairo's head is severed. Despite the intensity of the battle, Rengoku manages to stay conscious through sheer willpower and determination.

After a period of time, Kyojuro arrives home, heavily wounded, but alive. Senjuro Rengoku is relieved, and rushes forward to hug his brother, which Kyojuro happily accepts. Kyojuro is officially bestowed the rank of Hashira by the Oyakata-sama, and vows to keep fighting for those who cannot protect themselves. He lifts his head up, and tells his deceased mother that the fire in his heart has never gone out, and never will.

When much time has passed, Kyojuro's death is displayed, showing him being punched in the stomach by Upper Rank 3, Akaza.

Time passes again, and Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, and Inosuke Hashibira are shown chatting together. Tanjiro holds Rengoku's handguard, observing it, and Inosuke angrily asks why Tanjiro is spacing out.

## Face

**Face** (顔 (かお) , *Kao*?) is the one hundred and fifty-ninth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Inosuke looks at Doma's eyes and enthusiastically realizes he is Upper Rank Two. He declares he will defeat him and finally become a Hashira. A confused Doma mentions he isn't hiding his identity as Upper Rank Two. Inosuke sees the injured Kanao and warns her that Shinobu will get angry at seeing her condition. But when Kanao doesn't respond and she becomes upset, Inosuke is stunned into silence. Doma overhears him and mentions that Shinobu will live forever inside him, as "That's how everyone I eat gets saved".

Inosuke is shocked, remembering a memory he had where Shinobu pinky-promised him to not remove the bandage of his injured hand. Inosuke angrily declares "I'll gnaw you to shreds, trash" and charges towards Doma, despite Kanao warning him not to inhale the cold air he creates. Using his **Beast Breathing, Fourth Fang: Slice 'n' Dice**, Inosuke slashes at Doma, the demon commenting on his "messed up technique" as well as noticing his chipped blades and unorthodox fighting style. When Doma attempts to slash at Inosuke's neck, he flips back and deflects the fan with his feet, earning a compliment from the Upper Rank for his flexibility and intrigued by his mask. Inosuke lands next to Kanao and presents her with her blade, stolen from an unaware Doma, to her shock. Doma comments that the demon slayer is fast and grows more ice to attack, only for Inosuke to deflect them back and kick him in the stomach, knocking him away.

As he compliments him again, Inosuke charges forward and readies a slash. Doma comments that the attack is far from the sword's range, so when the boar-headed fighter swings, he become shocked that the attack had reached him and slashes across his eyes. Inosuke had used **Beast Breathing, Ninth Fang: Extending Bendy Slash**, dislocating the joints of his arm to extend his range. He relocates the bones of his arm but is angered that the new attack's inaccuracy made him missed Doma's head, to Kanao's shock.

Doma is amused at his unusual opponent and comments that throughout his own long life, he had never met a fighter like him. Inosuke takes the compliment and says it's because "the other riff-raff losers are nothing compared to me". But while Insouke is talking, his mask instantly appears off his face, surprising him and shocking Kanao. Doma had stolen it without either demon slayer noticing and comments the boar skin is quite old. As Inosuke angrily demands his mask back, Doma suddenly responds that he knows and has seen Inosuke's face before.

***Demon Slayer Novelization: Tanjiro and Nezuko, Destiny's Begin Arc*** (鬼滅の刃 ノベライズ ~きょうだいの絆と鬼殺隊編~, *Kimetsu no Yaiba Noberaizu: Unmei no Hajimari Hen*?), written by Shuka Matsuda, is the first light novel based on the *Kimetsu no Yaiba* manga. The illustrations are created by Koyoharu Gotoge.

It covers chapters 1 to 28 of the manga, specifically when Tanjiro's group leaves Hisa's house.

## Synopsis

As long as anyone can remember, there have been rumors of man-eating demons living in the woods. Even in the more enlightened Taisho era, the townspeople never go near there at night. Tanjiro Kamado, a kind boy who has been supporting his family as a coal seller since his father died, quickly learns that the local superstition is more than just rumors when he returns home one day to find his family slaughtered by demons. Only he and his sister Nezuko manage to survive, but she is transformed into a demon. Determined and resolute, he is recruited into the Demon Slayer Corps and his quest to help turn his sister human again and avenge his family's deaths begins.

### Differences

While the novel almost perfectly follows the plot of the manga, there are some differences:

* Kiriya and Kanata Ubuyashiki are explicitly called twin girls, instead of it being left ambiguous.
* Kagaya Ubuyashiki remarking that five participants survived Final Selection is excluded, giving the impression only four people survived. Zenitsu still points out that Inosuke was a fifth participant when they meet, however.

Genya Shinazugawa/Relationships

## Relationships

### Sanemi Shinazugawa

Sanemi is Genya's older brother and only living sibling. Initially, they got along well as they worked together to help their mother. After a Demon attack befell their family, Sanemi and Genya were the only ones who survived the incident. However, after Genya branded his sibling a "murderer", their relationship began to worsen and decline until the two split and went their own ways. It is revealed during the battle with Kokushibo that despite the whole incident, Sanemi still heavily cared for his younger brother and actually wanted him to live a normal life without the threat of demons; Genya is moved to tears and apologized after hearing Sanemi's reasoning behind his rudeness. After their battle with Kokushibou, a mortally injured Genya apologized again for blaming Sanemi and thanked his brother for protecting him before succumbing to his wounds and crumbling into dust, leaving Sanemi stricken with grief.

### Tanjiro Kamado

Tanjiro and Genya's first actual interaction took place at the end of the Final Selection, when Genya mistreated Kanata Ubuyashiki and Tanjiro stopped him. At first, Genya treated Tanjiro like an annoying pest and wouldn't even talk to him. This didn't discourage Tanjiro who kept wanting to connect to Genya, pissing him off. However, throughout their fight with Hantengu, Genya started befriending Tanjiro and gains respect for him. Tanjiro also tried to mend Genya's relationship with Sanemi, although his actions earned him a mouthful from the higher-ups. Genya later taught Tanjiro how to do repetitive actions during Gyomei's Hashira training, and  later Tanjiro cries when he hears of Genya's passing.

### Gyomei Himejima

In the data book, it says that Gyomei took Genya in as a "step son". The 2nd Fanbook gives more background towards their relationship. It revealed that Genya was rescued by Gyomei when he went out of control after eating a demon. Genya stubbornly decided to follow Gyomei and continuously asked the latter to take the former in as their Tsuguko. Although Genya wasn't blessed with talent and has a bad temper, he got along well with Gyomei, the latter acknowledging him for his honesty and willpower.

### Inosuke Hashibira

Genya isn't seen often interacting with Inosuke. Once Genya befriends Tanjiro Kamado, he generally respects his friends. But, in the manga, him and Inosuke are seen fighting because Inosuke mocked his inability to preform breathing styles.

## Relatives

* *The children of Sanemi are not included since the story does not indicate what child carries the lineage along with the quantity of generations that have followed prior to Sanehiro's*.

Hiroshi Shinazugawa

* Anime
* Manga

**Hiroshi Shinazugawa** (不死 (しなず) 川 (がわ)  弘 (ひろし) , *Shinazugawa Hiroshi*?) was a younger brother of Sanemi and Genya Shinazugawa.

## Appearance

Hiroshi was a boy of average height for his age, with large round blue eyes and a light skin tone. His hair was shaved along the sides, except for a small crop at the top of his head styled into a mohawk. He bore a great resemblance to his brother Genya and his mother.

Hiroshi wore a navy blue kimono and grey pants.

## Personality

Hiroshi was a loving and caring child, much like his siblings. He became worried for his mother's safety when she did not come home and decided to stay up all night till she arrived, eagerly rushing to greet her when she came home eventually.

He also loved his siblings in the same way, as he addressed his older brother Genya when he awoke up to see him awake and Sanemi gone.

## History

Hiroshi was born to Kyogo Shinazugawa and his wife Shizu. He had 6 other siblings, the oldest two being Sanemi and Genya. Though his father was incredibly abusive to his family, Hiroshi was often protected from his outbursts by his mother. Some time later, Kyogo would meet a violent end by getting stabbed to death in a grudge.

One night, their mother was late to come home. As Hiroshi, Sumi, Teiko, Koto, and Shuya slept, Sanemi decided to go out to look for. Genya stayed behind to watch the rest of them and they woke up shortly afterwards. As they waited for their mother, they became concerned as she had never been so late before, with Genya trying to ease their worries and asking them to go back to sleep.

A loud knock then rang from the front door, leading Hiroshi, Sumi, Teiko, and Shuya to run and greet their mother. Despite Genya's warning that the figure outside may not be her, the door broke open. Their mother, who had transformed into a demon, entered and killed the four instantly.

## Synopsis

### Swordsmith Village Arc

In his battle with Upper Rank Four Hantengu, Genya tries but fails to cut through his durable neck. In that moment, the demon's manifestation of anger appeared behind him and prepared to stab him in the head. Realizing he cannot dodge the blow, Genya's life flashed before his eyes, reminiscing on his past and the death of his siblings and his mother.

### Sunrise Countdown Arc

Following the defeat of Muzan Kibutsuji, Sanemi found himself in the afterlife as his life faded from his wounds. He saw that in heaven was Hiroshi, amongst their other siblings.

## Trivia

Horned Demon

* Anime
* Manga

The **Horned Demon** (角 (つの) 状 (じょう) 鬼 (おに) , *Tsunojō Oni*?) was a demon that lived in the Tsuzumi Mansion.

## Appearance

The Horned Demon has shoulder length black hair, with a center split and a single horn in the middle of his forehead. He has distinct red eyes with vertical pupils, slanted in an upward position, as well as thick protruding lips.

The Horned Demon had a large physical build, with visible veins displayed on the majority of his body. He wore green hakama pants with a brown vest.

## Personality

The Horned Demon was prideful and confident, as seen when he showed no hesitation to attack at the sight of Inosuke Hashibira, even boasting about the fact that he'd soon taste Inosuke's flesh and sarcastically complimenting his attack. However, his pride and lack of caution quickly became his downfall as he underestimated Inosuke, showing a lack of ability to properly size up his opponent before fighting them.

## History

Inside the Tsuzumi Mansion, he and the Tongue Demon got into a scuffle with Kyogai over who would get to eat Kiyoshi, a boy Kyogai had found and wanted to devour for his Marechi blood. During the confrontation, the Horned Demon managed to rip off one of Kyogai's tsuzumi, which Kiyoshi quickly grabbed and used to transport himself to safety. The three demons then wandered the mansion in search of Kiyoshi.

## Synopsis

While running through the halls of the mansion, Inosuke was nearly grabbed by the Horned Demon as he was turning at a corner. The demon deemed him a "fresh human" and tried again to grab his prey. However, Inosuke slashed off both of the demon's arm and used his **Beast Breathing, Third Fang: Devour** to slice off the Horned Demon's head, before using the body to launch himself for another search around the mansion.

## Abilities

### Physical Abilities

**Enhanced Strength:** The Horned Demon was able to rip out one of Kyogai's tsuzumi from his back, which would have taken a large amount of strength. He is also shown to easily crush hard wood simply by grabbing it, seen when he tried to grab Inosuke.

Mount Fujikasane

* Anime
* Manga

**Mount Fujikasane** (藤 (ふじ) 襲 (かさね) 山 (やま) , *Fujikasane Yama*?), is a mountain full of Wisteria blooming every season from the mountain's foot to its slope.

## History

### Final Selection

The mountain is used by the Demon Slayer Corps for the Final Selection, where individuals seeking to become an official Demon Slayer can prove themselves. The examinees that pass shall be recognized and receive their own Demon Slayer Uniform, Nichirin Sword and Kasugai Crows.

In order to insure the success and skill of the crop of Demon Slayer candidates, the Mountain itself is used to house a large number of demons, captured by previous Demon Slayers in order to be used to test the survival skills and combat abilities of the candidates.

Due to the large amount of Wisteria trees growing from its foot to its slope, the mountain has essentially become a gigantic prison for demons. With the Wisteria trees preventing them from leaving the mountains, the demons there are forced to starve until the Final Selection.

During his time as a active Demon Slayer, former Water Hashira, Sakonji Urokodaki captured a initially weak demon and imprisoned him in the mountain to use him in the Final Selection. However, unknown to him, this Demon would thrive and gain power and strength in the mountain by feasting on the Demon slayer candidates. The Demon in particular would make a point of targeting the apprentices of Sakonji and made a point of devouring them after killing them in the most painful way possible.
