Tori Kamado

Tori Kamado is a secondary character in Demon Slayer: Blade of the Night. She is the daughter of Tanjiro and Kanao Kamado, and the second ever user of the Star Breathing Style.

## **Appearance:**

Tori is a relatively short young girl with long, black hair. She generally looks almost exactly like her aunt Nezuko Agatsuma.

Tori wears the traditional Demon Slayer uniform, colored dark blue, adorned with a hem leaf pattern orange haori.

## **Personality:**

Tori is a well-mannered and upbeat girl, with a knack for making friends. She is also quite in-tune with current events and trends, given that she was aware of what a 'zombie' was.

Tori is generally quite similar to her father and aunt when it comes to her personality, being empathetic and kind to all that she meets, even occasionally trying to understand demons.

Her last quality, however, gets offset by her fear of demons. Tori is not confident in her abilities, and she tends to overestimate her foes, leading to her generally doing poorly on the field, regardless of how skilled she actually is. This is evidenced by her deciding to skip the Final Selection that Ryo Yorunoha took, and only participating with Soichi Kurayame, who she relied on severely.

## **Synopsis:**

Tori is the youngest daughter of Tanjiro and Kanao Kamado, and she's the younger sister of Ran Kamado. Early on, she attempted to learn the Sun Breathing from her father, but not long after, it was discovered she is actually better suited for the Star Breathing developed by her aunt. Regardless, once she mastered the Style, she continued training with her father, until he eventually took Ryo, and then Soichi under his wing, and she partook the Final Selection with the latter.

## **Abilities:**

**Superhuman Strength:** Tori does not have any strength showings as of yet, but it can be inferred that she is quite physically powerful

**Superhuman Speed:** Tori was easily able to outpace projectiles which moved faster than bullets, avoiding attacks from Akuto without much difficulty

**Superhuman Durability:** Tori, while not being as physically durable as Soichi, was able to sustain an insane amount of gravity on top of her without breaking a single bone.

**Tactical Intellect:** Tori is capable of strategizing in the middle of combat, though it can be noted her defeatist mentality often cancels this quality.

**Total Concentration Breathing:** Tori is quite prodigous at Total Concentration Breathing, completing her training of it quite early in her life.

## **Fighting Style:**

**Skilled Swordswoman:** Tori is quite adept at swordfighting, picking up the art quite early in her life, whereas her lacking power and competency comes from her own mentality rather than raw skill.

### **Breathing Style:**

**Star Breathing** *(Hoshi no Kokyu)*: The Style Tori learned from her aunt Nezuko, she is the second user of it in existence, and has surpassed her aunt in terms of skill and power. Tori, however, has yet to develop any new forms to her arsenal, relying on Nezuko's creations

#### **Techniques:**

* **First Form: Starlit Frolic** *(Ichi no Kata: Hoshizora no Hashaku)* - The user dashes from side to side, avoiding direct line of sight from the opponent, before slashing at them at an opportune moment

* **Second Form: Painting the Darkness** *(Ni no Kata: Yami o Kaku)* - The user will strike directly behind them with a quick 180 degrees turn

* **Third Form: Faded Light** *(San no Kata: Iroaseta Hikari)* - The user sneaks around the target, delivering a powerful slash to their neck.

* **Fourth Form: Star’s Will** *(Shi no Kata: Hoshi no Ishi)* - Used after the user falls or fails to hit, the user will take ground on any surface, dashing with all their strength to hit the target

* **Fifth Form: Hypnotic Lights** *(Go no Kata: Saimin Rato)* - The user jumps upwards, jabbing countless times from above to break the opponent's defenses, ending the attack with a slash in the opponent's back

* **Sixth Form: God of the Stars** *(Roku no Kata: Amatsumikaboshi)* - The user will slash five different points on the target in quick succession, aiming to completely destroy their defenses with continuous, high power attacks, potentially even decapitating them.

## **Equipment:**

Standard Nichirin Sword: Tori utilizes a regular sized Nichirin Katana, colored dark blue and dotted with small, yellow star shapes, as expected of a Star Breathing user. Her handguard is composed of a black cartwheel, exactly like the one her father uses.

## **Familiars:**

**Hokkyomaru:** Tori's crow, it is quite social, befriending other crows often, but it has quite a big ego, so these friendships don't tend to last.

## **Battles:**

* Tori vs Ryo (Sparring)
* Tori and Soichi vs Akuto

## **Trivia:**

* Tori's name is romanized with only one "I", but it is written with the kanji for [Torii], which is the name of the Shinto Shrine Gate, which marks the transition from mundane to sacred. Her surname, meanwhile, is divided into: [Kama], which is the word for a charcoal-fueled furnace, and [Do] means "Door".
