He once won 1st place in a competition but his brother stormed the place and ripped his certificate apart, all while screaming "Who cares about this shit?! Learn your damn math!!".

#### Staff

Management:

* **Kagaya Ubuyashiki:** Director. He comes from quite the rich family, so besides the academy, he’s involved in many other enterprises. He's particularly skilled at networking, so whenever he takes something on, there are plenty of people willing to put effort into seeing it through. The wounds on his face are from a random passerby assailant who threw dangerous chemicals on him. People say this might be because he bares such a resemblance to Diet Member Muzan that they might be mistaken for twins. He works against Muzan with the help of good politicians who graduated from Kimetsu Academy. Lives at Ubuyashiki Mansion.
* **Amane Ubuyashiki:** Principal and Kagaya's wife. She really loves kids and is passionate about education, but because she tends to be a bit expressionless, the students are a little afraid of her. Since there's such a mysterious air to her, some of the students worship her.
* **Nakime Otogawa:** Vice principal. She's one of Muzan's spies at Kimetsu Academy. On bad terms with Amane.

Teachers:

* **Giyu Tomioka:** Physical Education (P.E.) teacher and guidance counselor. He's such a spartan that several complaints have been issued about him from the PTA, and the Board of Education might even have to make a move. Giyu is Tanjiro's school counselor and known at school as the "man who never smiles". He knows Sakonji, Sabito and Makomo since before he became a teacher. Before Tanjiro and Nezuko entered high school, he and Nezuko were almost lost in the snowy mountains behind the school when they were picking vegetables and they were rescued by Giyu.
* **Kyojuro Rengoku:** History teacher. Because of his passion of teaching and his love of history, he began hurling his students and starting cavalry battles during class. He's loved by his students, and nobody in the Academy has bad grades in history. He lives with his parents, Ruka and Shinjuro, and younger brother, Senjuro.
* **Tengen Uzui:** Arts teacher. The students call him "Gangsta Sensei," and he's known for yelling that "art is an explosion" before then blowing up the classroom with dynamite. When he tried to do that, Tanjiro would throw water on Tengen to prevent that from happening. It's rumored he was spotted in a fight during his high school years, and that he's probably good at fighting since he was once a gang leader.
* **Gyomei Himejima:** Civics teacher and first year Bamboo Shoot class homeroom teacher. Since he's so muscular, students were afraid of him at first. But because his personal belongings generally have cats on them, everybody quickly became aware that he's a nice person who likes cats. There have been many incidents of people calling him Dad by accident. He enjoys playing a Shakuhachi as a hobby.
* **Sanemi Shinazugawa:** Maths teacher. He always keeps his collar open, because he feels stressed when it gets stuffy around his neck. He never buttons up for important family celebrations. When one of his students said that "Nobody needs math in the future", he tossed the said student out the classroom window like in Smash Bros and this became known as the Smash Bros Incident. There was a "Kill Sanemi-sensei" plot for a while, but after the Smash Bros incident that plan disappeared. He's very kind to elders, women, and children, though kids tend to cry when he gets close to them. He talks to Kanae a lot. He likes eating ohagi and would request the school store to stock up on it, enlarging the letters considerably every week.
* **Kanae Kocho:** Biology teacher and flower arrangement club advisor. She is a graduate of the Academy and has been one of the three beauties of the Academy for three years straight. She is popular among boys and girls. Anyone who speaks bad of her actually gets embarrassed to talk to her in her face. She is very gentle, but also mysterious. She has been seen sticking talismans on walls and chanting something like "Rin Pyou Tou Sha...", so people think she may have spiritual powers.
* **Kyogai:** Music teacher. He primarily uses a tsuzumi drum when he holds class. He's often made to do long songs and orchestral pieces from noh and kobuki dramas, so his students aren't able to sing modern songs properly. He is emotionally unstable and would complain about his students being tone-deaf. Tanjiro would try to comfort him.
* **Obanai Iguro:** Chemistry teacher. He has a severe allergy to women and can't stop his heart from palpitating and breaking out in a cold sweat merely because a woman comes near him. To protect himself from women he always wears a mask. It is said that he keeps a snake around him in order to avoid contact with women. He began working at Kimetsu Academy shortly after Mitsuri graduated. He often goes to Aozora Diner, but only ever orders tea. He would frequently ask if the "girl with the braids" (Mitsuri) is coming over. When students fail tests, they are crucified to a post and shot at with bottle rockets.
* **Hotaru Haganezuka:** Home Economics Teacher. Rumors say that he is weak against side tickling. His favorite food is mitarashi dango.

#### Ghosts

Due to its old age, Kimetsu Academy is known to be inhabited by ghosts, the yōkai, which are frequently spotted within the High School Department building during the night. Unlike other schools, Kimetsu Academy maintains the tradition of a night watch, where the designated High School teacher on duty is responsible for eliminating these supernatural beings upon sight. The teacher places a talisman on the yōkai's head and performs a Kuji kiri gesture, combined with a powerful demon annihilation spell, to accomplish this task. This practice is kept from the students.

* **Gyokko:** Also known as **Biology Room Vase**. The number of people who have witnessed the yōkai of the vase continue to increase. They say that if you ignore his unintelligible rants, he will bring out all his hands to tickle you. After Biology teacher Kanae took charge, the sightings and rumors came to an abrupt halt, which left people wondering if he was exorcised. He often makes the "Hyo hyo!" sounds during his speech and announces he will drag people into his beautiful vase.
* **Hantengu:** Also known as **Crawling Old Man in the Hallway**. The old man who crawls around the hallways while crying fails to look like a human and constantly grumbles about grudges. When he sees people who are smaller than him, he lunges at them and steals their stuff. He has a swelling on his head, because Tokito from the junior high drop-kicked him. He resents the middle schoolers for showing off their youthful spirit and demands they give them their youth or something valuable.

### Muzan's group

* **Muzan Kibutsuji:** Member of the Diet and an evil politician who wants to take over Japan. There's a rumor he's from the Ubuyashiki family line. He's always irritated because whenever he's trying to do something evil there's always someone who gets in his way. He believes this is all because Kagaya is paying people off, so Muzan has placed spies in many places to try to crush Muzan's network and finances. It seems he has a fan club.
* **Kokushibo:** Muzan's secretary. "Kokushibo" seems to be an alias, and his real name and age are unknown. Although he’s a secretary, he's so buff that he often gets mistaken for a bodyguard.

* **Doma:** Scam artist. "Doma" seems to be an alias, and his real name and age are unknown. Beyond fake marriages, he is a scam artist in various ways. He would scam people into signing contracts to buy something, but also set up a stall and act as a fortune teller. He is infamous to the point that he gets covered in special programs on TV and names himself "Happiness Advisor". He's also been involved in several incidents, but because the evidence is insufficient, he has yet to be prosecuted. He has connections to some of the city's top officials.

An example is when he showed his naked behind and was caught by Tanjiro, but escaped after being handed over to train attendant Saburo. He is already convicted six times before. He doesn't reflect on bothering others, so the other railroad fans hate him. Actually, everyone hates him now. He has no girlfriend. He believes he is not an exhibitionist. The reason he removes his clothes is so he can feel the train on his skin without clothes getting in the way.
* **Swamp Demon:** Weird man who hangs out around Kimetsu Town and targets 16 year old girls through pinpointing. Because he's often witnessed frequently and the incidents occur at the same time, he's become something of an urban legend.
