Daisuke Ochakami

## Portrayal

**Daisuke Ochakami** is a minor supporting character in Demon Slayer: Blade of the Night. He is a Demon Slayer, and most importantly, the Steam Pillar.

## **Appearance:**

Daisuke is a tall man with brown, disheveled hair that drapes down to his shoulders, and an unshaved stubble. He always wears a relaxed expression, and visibly does not care much about his appearance. He wears a large straw hat at nearly all times

Daisuke wears a green-tinted Pillar Uniform, which he dons with the chest unbuttoned. He also wears a teal haori with a wave pattern. It is incredibly oversized, and he rolls up his sleeves regularly.

## **Personality:**

Daisuke is an incredibly lax, if not lazy man that doesn't seem to care for an awful lot of things. He is always disconnected from most conversations, is usually just barely in time for meetings, and has slept on them on occasion.

Daisuke himself is not opposed to doing things in a technically incorrect way for the sake of his own amusement, such as announcing in the Final Selection that other participants were also threats in order to cause a general distrust of others. Since it's not wrong information, he was never even scolded for it, but it goes to show how he doesn't give much of a care about the truth, as long as he finds the result amusing.

## **Synopsis:**

Nothing is currently known about Daisuke's backstory

## **Abilities:**

**Monumental Strength:** It can be inferred that Daisuke is incredibly strong

**Monumental Speed:** It can be assumed Daisuke is incredibly fast

**Total Concentration Breathing:** Logically, Daisuke has long achieved Total Concentration Breathing.

**Demon Slayer Mark:** Daisuke, as a Pillar, has access to the Demon Slayer Mark.

## **Fighting Style:**

**Master Swordsman:** It can be inferred Daisuke is skilled at swordsmanship, as he is a Pillar.

### **Breathing Style:**

**Steam Breathing** *(Joki no Kokyu)*: Daisuke has mastered the Steam Breathing, and it can be assumed he is the strongest user of the Style of the generation.

#### **Techniques:**

* **First Form: Sideways Geyser** *(Ichi no Kata: Yoko Kanketsusen)* - The user propels themselves forward similarly to the Thunder Breathing’s First Form, although this form is immutable and will cut anything in its way instead of changing directions.

* **Second Form: Evaporating Rain** *(Ni no Kata: Johatsu Suru Ame)* - The user will spin around their body upwards, swirling and taking an absurd amount of space.

* **Third Form: Swirling Mist** *(San no Kata: Uzumakukiri)* - The user will sway around, biding their time, and when the opponent leaves an opening, the user will strike with all their power

* **Fourth Form: Whistling Vapor** *(Shi no Kata: Kichibue no Joki)* - The user strikes quickly and swiftly directly in front of them, like a stinger. This creates a whistling noise that becomes louder every time this form is used consecutively.

* **Fifth Form: Vapor Stream** *(Go no Kata: Joki Ryu)* - The user will attack upwards with all their strength, creating a powerful current, so this form can also be used underwater.

* **Sixth Form: Pressured Release** *(Roku no Kata: Kaatsu Ririsu)* - The user will use all their strength in one attack to finish off an enemy. This cannot be used a lot because it strains the muscles used. Because of the strained muscles, the blade will reach further than usual, giving the user better range.

## **Equipment:**

**Standard Nichirin Katana:** Daisuke carries around an average sized and shaped Nichirin Katana, being colored the light teal that is expected from a Steam Breathing user. Daisuke's handguard is that of a vaguely cloud-shaped white circle, with symmetrical bumps along its side.

## **Familiars:**

**Kamomiru:** Daisuke's Crow, named after Chamomile, and it has about as much of a tranquil personality as its owner.

## **Battles:**

Daisuke has no on-screen battles currently

* Daisuke's views on his fellow Pillars are as follows:
	+ Tanjiro: *He's a nice fellow. Really, without him, I wouldn't have gotten promoted.*
	+ Giyu: *He's a bit straight-edged, but he tolerates me far more than the rest. He does talk down to me a lot.*
	+ Kyojuro: *He's really nice, I like talking to him. He doesn't seem to judge me at all*
	+ Gyomei: *He's like a boulder come to life. I quite like him, despite how often he tells me to straighten up, it always feels like it's genuine advice.*
	+ Sanemi: *At the very least he doesn't shout at me, even though it's clear he comes close.*

	+ Kanao: *Out of everyone, she's the one I can understand the least.*

	+ Murata: *I never talked to him properly, and to be fair, he seems to be as neutral towards me as I am towards him.*

	+ Mitsuri: *She's really nice... I would try flirting with her...* *But for whatever reason I feel like I'm being glared at when I talk to her.*
	+ Senjuro: *He's fine, I haven't talked to him much. Him and the Cloud Pillar are alike. Though he does seem to see me as a fool.*
	+ Suguru: *This guy is alright. Even though he's a bit rude, he doesn't treat me worse than the rest.*
	+ Muichiro: *Whenever he talks to me, I feel like I'm being talked down to. Though he barely tries to hide it.*
