## History

It is not known when the Kyogoku House was established in Entertainment District. However, when Tengen Uzui was investigating the report of a demon within the district, he sends his wife, Hinatsuru, to infiltrate the Kyogoku House to try and gather information.

After he loses contact with his wife, Tengen travels to the Entertainment District with the Demon Slayer's to try to infiltrate a second time. After Tanjiro and Inosuke are dropped off at their corresponding houses, Zenitsu is abandoned at the Kyogoku house by Tengen (disguised as Zenko).

It is revealed that two days before the Demon Slayer's arrived at the district, the demon, Daki, had been discovered living within the house by Omitsu, the headmistress, and seemingly murdered her.

After settling into the house, Zenitsu puts on an emotional performance to play the shamisen for the staff of the house after being abandoned by Tengen.

Following his episode, Zenitsu begins to search the house for Hinatsuru, but when he uses his advanced sense of hearing, he realizes there's a girl crying within the house and runs to her aid. When he arrives to the room, the walls and door have been destroyed and the young girl has been beat up. The oiran of the house, Warabihime, comes behind him and demands to know why Zenitsu is in her room, and proceeds to abuse the girl who was supposed to be cleaning the room. Sensing that she is a demon, Zenitsu tries to protect the girl, but Warabihime becomes enraged and knocks him unconscious.

Zenitsu is then seemingly taken from the house and is not seen there again. It is unknown if the Kyogoku House was still standing at the end of the major battles.

Gyutaro/Relationships

## Relationships

### Daki

Despite being hundreds of years old and losing all of his human memories, Gyutaro has a strong attachment to his younger sister, Daki.

Because their mother was abusive, Gyutaro spent most of his time as a human raising her by himself.

However, despite his love for her, he isn't above insulting her, calling her a weakling and telling her that, had it not been for him, she would've died a long time ago. In his final moments, Gyutaro viewed his way of raising her as his only regret. Later, when they were both in the afterlife, Gyutaro tried to push her away from him, showing that he wanted her to have a new start in life without him being a bad influence on her. However, Daki fully intended on making Gyutaro keep his promise to her.

### Tengen Uzui

Gyutaro despises Uzui due to his flashiness and having three wives. He attempts to murder Tengen in his battle and constantly mocks him for succumbing to his poison.

### Tanjiro Kamado

Gyutaro shows himself to be incredibly arrogant towards Tanjiro, mocking him for being unable to cut off his head or protect his sister, even breaking two of his fingers and mocking him for being weaker than Nezuko. However, he does admit that, although Tanjiro is "disgraceful", he doesn't dislike him, going on to say that he loves things that are disgusting and pitiful, even offering him the chance to turn into a demon and stating that, if he accepts, they'll be friends. However, Tanjiro refuses his offer. After managing to cut off Gyutaro's head, he witnesses, with visible shock, Gyutaro and Daki's argument. When Gyutaro tells Daki that she shouldn't have ever been born, Tanjiro covers his mouth and tells him how all they have is each other and that they shouldn't spend their last moments arguing with each other. After Gyutaro and Daki both pass away and venture into the fires of Hell together, Tanjiro wonders if they were able to make up.

### Doma

Doma was the one who turned Gyutaro and Daki into demons.

Chapter 40

## Hinokami

**Hinokami** (ヒノカミ, *Hinokami*?) is the fortieth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

On a winter night, standing alongside his mother, a young Tanjiro watches his father performing a ceremonial Kagura dance, which has been performed as an offering to Hinokami in order to keep them safe. In another time, after seeing him perform in the blistering cold, Tanjiro lays on his father's lap, and asks him how he is able to endure dancing in the cold for extended periods of time, believing his lungs would freeze. His father pats him on the head and explains that there is a special Breathing Style "that lets you never get tired no matter how long you move". With it, he can ignore the cold and dance forever, before asking his son to wear his hanafuda earrings when he does so and to never lose them, as he had promised.

As the memory ends, Tanjiro's eyes glisten as a dragon-like fire emits from his blade and uses the **Hinokami Kagura: Dance** to cut through the threads. Rui is left astonished as the threads fall before his eyes, and Tanjiro closes in to cut off his head, however he is once again surrounded by the threads in an instant. Tanjiro subtly begins to panic as he becomes entrapped, but within the moment he sees Rui's opening thread and decides to push forward. He apologizes to his family as he decides to to sacrifice himself in order to protect Nezuko, and he lunges towards Rui and his threads.

As Nezuko remains unconscious, her mother appears as an apparition in her mind and begs her to wake up, she encourages Nezuko to try hard and rejoin the fight, if not her brother will die. In that instant, Nezuko awakens and witnesses her brother about to be killed by the threads, but musters up the strength to use her **Blood Demon Art: Exploding Blood** to set them on fire.

As the threads makes contact with Tanjiro's face, they burn away allowing his blade to reach Rui's neck. He nonchalantly dismisses Tanjiro's attempt at cutting his neck knowing that his body is stronger than his threads. However, with Nezuko's blood splattered onto Tanjiro's blade and the activation of her Blood Demon Art, the blade forcefully pushes through Rui's neck.

The chapter concludes with Tanjiro ambitiously declaring that no one can break the bond shared between him and Nezuko, as he successfully decapitates Rui with a burst of flames.

**Wanted: Respect** (認 (みと) められたかった, *Mitome Raretakatta*?) is the one hundred and fourteenth chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

Tanjiro Kamado gives directions to Genya Shinazugawa about where to find the fifth form of Hantengu and asks Nezuko Kamado to provide him assistance. He is then nearly swept away by Karaku's wind attack. Nezuko attempts to slash Sekido before he can release lightning on her brother, but she gets impaled by Aizetsu's spear. Tanjiro hinders Sekido's movement by cutting off his hand holding the staff, and the Demon notes Tanjiro's exceptional battle adaptation skills.

Urogi is slashed by the flaming blade and Nezuko grabs Aizetsu, enveloping him in fire and burning him. Karaku counters Tanjiro by slamming his fan and forcing Tanjiro to the ground with pressure. However, before he can attack again, his arm falls off and he curses Tanjiro for cutting it.

Genya receives more directions from Tanjiro as the latter yells them out, and he desperately keeps searching for the fifth body. After more continuous searching, Genya spots Hantengu behind the bushes shrunk down. He shoots him with his gun, but the Demon dodges and runs away. While pursuing him, Genya inwardly chastises the Demon's wimpy nature and swings at his neck with his Nichirin Sword. He pushes himself to force the blade through Hantengu's neck, but the sword suddenly snaps due to the Demon's thick neck. He tries shooting again with his gun again to no avail. All of a sudden, Sekido appears behind Genya and aims his staff at his neck. Distressed, Genya remarks that he can't regenerate his head and is about to die. Before he gets struck, he thinks of his elder brother, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and states how he wanted to become a Hashira so he could apologize to him for something that had happened between them.

Matazo

**Matazo** (又 (また) 造 (ぞう) , *Matazō*?) is the father of Yae and was transformed into a Demon prior to the beginning of Giyu Tomioka's Story.

## Appearance

He is a gray-haired man with short hair, and small stubble on his chin. He looks outwardly 50-60 years old and has a kind face.

## Personality

During his daughter’s childhood, Matazo was shown to be a loving, but awkward father to his daughter. This was mainly due to him having difficulty bonding with her after her mother’s death. As shown, Matazo was initially hesitant to train his daughter in hunting due to initially believing that it was not a profession fit for a woman, but eventually gave in when his friends revealed that Yae simply wanted to spend time with him and bond with him through hunting.

After becoming a Demon, Matazo was shown to have become extremely feral and had lost nearly all reason and rationality. As shown where he had immediately violently killed his fellow hunters and devoured them. However, despite becoming a near rabid animal, Matazo still retains his strong love for his daughter, as shown where he recognized her after his first frenzy and ran away from her to avoid eating her as well. Later after she tracked him down in the mountain, Matazo was able to say her name as he tried to eat her.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** As a human, Matazo was known to have been a skilled hunter. He made a living by hunting in the mountains, as he managed to train his daughter, Yae, to hunt as well.

Matazo was shown to have been a skilled marksman, as seen where he mainly employed a hunting rifle as his main weapon when hunting bears and deers on the mountain. Matazo was also implied to have some knife skills as well due to the fact that he trained his daughter Yae on how carve up deer, bear, and ilk for their meat and bones.

### Abilities (Demon)

Upon becoming a demon, Matazo was shown to possess all the natural abilities of one and was seen to have been strong enough to overpower, kill, and eat several hunters who attempted to stop him due to believing he was a bear. He later showed to be strong enough to put up a decent fight against the Water Hashira, Giyu Tomioka.

**Regeneration:** Upon becoming a demon, Matazo was shown to possess slightly above average regeneration for a Demon, as seen where he managed to regrow his head almost immediately upon having a part of his head blown off by Yae and later was able to immediately regrow his lost arm after it was cut off by Giyu.

**Flesh Manipulation:** During his battle against Giyu, Matazo showed that he could already manipulate and morph the flesh of his arms into blades, spikes, and axes to use as weapons.

* **Flesh Detachment:** Matazo was later shown being able to morph a part of his arm into a double bladed axe and then detach it to use as a projectile weapon.

## Trivia

* The term Matagi, traditionally written as  (又 (また) 鬼 (ぎ) , ?) are winter hunters within the Tōhoku region of Japan, north-east of the province of Tōkyō. They hunt bears and deer not just for food, but for spiritual praise towards their dieties within the mountains.

## Summary

Makio recalls her past as Tengen arrives at the large cavern. As a young adult, Makio lived the lifestyle of a kunoichi and was often taught to survive instead of try to accomplish the mission. These ideals were again reiterated into her mindset when she married Tengen, who would tell his wives to always prioritize their lives and return to him alive. He would make sure to let them know that he would take responsibility to protect the public, after protecting them. Makio would often question if his morals were right, however Hinatsuru would reassure her that wanting to live was not immoral.

Back in the cavern, Tengen greets his wives by patting them on the head and compliments the great work they put in, causing them to tear up as Suma holds on to him and cries. Inosuke calls out to the ""god of festivities" and gets mad at him for allowing the obi to escape, but Tengen loses his temper and defends his wives saying that they saved the people that were trapped. Makio interrupts him to say that they need to leave immediately before things get worse, and he quickly instructs everyone to follow him.

Now on the rooftops, Tengen sprints towards the battle field as Inosuke and Zenitsu struggle to catch up. In the middle of the battle between Daki and Tanjiro, the obi comes flying and unexpectedly enters Daki's body. Tanjiro realizes that the obi is returning to Daki's main body and tries to attack her, but she quickly disappears. She reappears on a nearby rooftop as her hair turns white, she squeals with delights as she learns there's a Hashira within the district. At that moment, a bystander discovers Tanjiro acting suspiciously on the street and tells him to stop fighting in front of his shop. Daki overhears the man and becomes enraged by his comment.

She lashes out a flurry of attacks on the buildings around her and ends up cutting off the man's arm in the process, she also manages to kill other bystanders in the nearby houses. Tanjiro sees the bloodshed nearby and tells the man to tie a tourniquet around his arm, despite bleeding heavily himself.

Daki begins to walk away after destroying the houses, but Tanjiro tells her he won't allow her to get away with it. Daki cockingly tells him to stop speaking to her since he is just another rotten corpse. The chapter concludes with Tanjiro's heart beginning to beat louder and louder as his eyes fill with rage.

Inosuke's Fairy Tale

**Inosuke's Fairy Tale** (番 (ばん) 外 (がい) 編 (へん) 伊 (い) 之 (の) 助 (すけ) 御 (お) 伽 (とぎ) 草 (ぞう) 子 (し) , *Bangaihen Inosuke Otogi Zōshi*?) is the second bonus chapter of Koyoharu Gotoge's Kimetsu no Yaiba.

## Summary

A mother boar raised Inosuke Hashibira ever since he was young and thrown to safety into water by his mother shortly before she died. Whilst he did live in the mountains by himself he still managed to learn how to talk by learning from other humans.

These humans were Takaharu and his elderly grandfather. One day as Takaharu returned from work he found his grandfather sitting on the porch and feeding a strange animal who had a boar head but the body of a baby wearing a diaper, this was Inosuke though Takaharu wasn't aware he was human. Takaharu yelled at his grandfather not to feed strange animals and swiped at the young child with his hoe. As he had a terrible upbringing Takaharu had a very foul mouth but still cared for his grandfather all by himself, especially now that the old man's memory had begun failing him. He told his grandfather not to feed Inosuke as his mother could come down from the mountains in search of it and he non-committally agreed.

Another time, when Takaharu returned home he saw Inosuke there again sitting happily in his grandfather's lap as the old man read to him from a book of poetry called *The Hundred Poets*. Takaharu yells again and chases Inosuke off, returning to his grandfather he tells the man not to spoil the boy like his own grandchild and even if he is feeling lonely he cannot allow the child to stay near them as his grandfather once again agrees.

Sometime after this incident Takaharu once again returned to see Inosuke with his grandfather as the old man reads the cloth attached to boy's diaper and reads from it to tell him his name, Inosuke Hashibira. He tells the boy that it must be his name given to him by his parents and to take good care of it. Mortified, Takaharu yet again yells at his grandfather for indulging the child and attempts to shoo Inosuke away. However, this time instead of running Inosuke kicks Takaharu in the face and tells "Takosuke" to shut up and bring him his usual baked mochi and that this was his turf now. Takaharu reluctantly obliges and Inosuke laughs as he eats the mochi while in his grandfather's lap.

## Characters in Order of Appearance

* Takaharu
* Takaharu's Grandpa
Hanako Kamado

* Anime
* Manga

**Hanako Kamado** (竈 (かま) 門 (ど)  花 (はな) 子 (こ) , *Kamado Hanako*?) was Tanjiro Kamado's youngest sister, who was killed by Muzan Kibutsuji.

## Appearance

Hanako was a young girl with black, shoulder-length hair and fringe above her eyebrows. She had large, dark red eyes with white pupils and pale skin, much like the rest of her family.

Hanako wore a peach Iromuji kimono with a pale pink haori worn over it. She also wore a dark peach obi with a pink obijime and a beige-colored obiage. Under all of this, she wore a white juban.

## Personality

Hanako had an amazing bond with her family, she loved her oldest brother and sometimes liked to seek attention from him. Like her other siblings, she was upset about not being able to go with her brother to the village. She is also seen helping her family do household chores, and scolding her siblings if they did something naughty.

## History

Hanako grew up on a mountain alongside her siblings and mother. She was the youngest daughter of the Kamado family.

## Synopsis

### Final Selection Arc

Hanako and her brother, Shigeru Kamado, want to follow Tanjiro into the city to sell charcoal with him. However, their mother stops them and says they would only slow Tanjiro down.

While Tanjiro is in the town, Muzan came to her home and attacked Hanako along with her mother, and siblings as he proceeded to inject Hanako with his blood, hoping that he could turn her into a Demon who could withstand sunlight. However, he was disappointed when Hanako didn't survive, believing that creating a Demon capable of withstanding sunlight was not so easy. He left his home seemingly unaware that her older daughter, Nezuko, survived as she got turned into a Demon.

After Tanjiro gets knocked unconscious by Giyu Tomioka, Hanako and her deceased siblings and mother are seen looking over Tanjiro with worried expressions.

### Entertainment District Arc

When Tanjiro fights against Daki, he sees a vision of Hanako begging him to breathe before he is able to exceed his life's limit.

## Trivia

* Hanako's entire name contains the Kun'yomi/reading of the kanji for "flower, blossom" (花 (はな) , *Hana*?) and the common feminine suffix, which translates to "child" (子 (こ) , *ko*?). The first kanji of her surname translates to a traditional Japanese wood or charcoal-fuelled cookstove/furnace (竈 (かま) , *kama*?), while the second kanji means "door" (門 (ど) , *do*?) with it being affected by rendaku.
	+ The fact that her surname translates to the word for a wood-fueled furnace is likely a reference to her family's occupation prior to their demise.
* Hanako shares her English voice actor with Makomo.
* Hanako possessed a wooden puzzle box much like Kotetsu.

Kiyoshi

* Anime
* Manga

**Kiyoshi** (清 (きよし) , *Kiyoshi*?) is the elder brother of Shoichi and Teruko, who gets kidnapped by the Tsuzumi Mansion Demon, Kyogai.

## Appearance

Kiyoshi is a young man in his early teens, with black hair slightly longer than Shoichi's. He has hazel brown eyes just like his siblings and wears a persimmon colored haori over his green kimono.

## Personality

Kiyoshi is a brave young boy who, despite his very understandable fear, managed to survive on his own in a house with three Demons all trying to devour him. He is intelligent and crafty enough to use Kyogai's tsuzumi against him in order to survive. Tanjiro Kamado was impressed by Kiyoshi's will that allowed him to hold out for so long under these conditions.

## Synopsis

### Tsuzumi Mansion Arc

Due to to his rare blood, the young teen Kiyoshi was targeted as a marechi by Demons and taken by force to Tsuzumi Mansion. There, three Demons fought over who was going to eat him and the ensuing fight caused Kyogai to lose one of his tsuzumi drums. Kiyoshi took the drum and used it to transport himself away from the Demons.

Kiyoshi strikes the tsuzumi whenever danger is near and holds out until help finally arrives. His younger sister Teruko appears to save him alongside a Demon Slayer named Tanjiro. Tanjiro dresses Kiyoshi's wounds and asks for an update on the situation.

The Demon Slayer asks Kiyoshi and Teruko to hold out a little longer while he takes on Kyogai himself. They're nervous at first, but they calm down when Tanjiro states his belief in their ability to be brave.

Tanjiro defeats the Demon and eventually returns for the kids. They panic and throw things at him because the tsuzumi drum has disappeared. Tanjiro commends them for holding out and they leave the house together.

All the siblings reunite while Tanjiro comes to blows with a wild boar-masked Demon Slayer. Zenitsu Agatsuma interrupts their reunion to cower behind them away from the fighting.

After Tanjiro wins, they all work together to bury the bodies of the deceased and pray for them. Before nightfall, the three siblings say goodbye to the Demon Slayers and Tanjiro's crow gives the boy a bag of wisteria to take with him back home.

## Abilities

As an ordinary human, he doesn't possess any additional powers or abilities. However, he is called a 'Marechi' (稀 (まれ) 血 (ち) , *marechi*?) by the Tsuzumi Mansion Demons since he has a rare blood type that is favored by them.

## Trivia

* Kiyoshi's name means "**clean, pure, distinct, fair, honest**" (清, *kiyoshi*?).

Kakushi

* Anime
* Manga

The **Kakushi** (隠 (かくし) , *Kakushi*?) are a brigade of people who work as attendants to the Demon Slayer Corps.

## Overview

    The Kakushi are a brigade responsible for different tasks pertaining to providing support for the Demon Slayers, which include:

* Providing first aid to Demon Slayers on the battlefield.
* Cleaning up the battlefield after battles.
* Guiding the wounded and injured Demon Slayers to the Butterfly Mansion for further recovery.
* Serving as attendants of the Butterfly Mansion, where they provide aid to the manor's residents and those healing on the premises.
* Sewing and repairing the uniforms Demon Slayers wear.
* Transporting people to and from the Swordsmith Village.

### Joining

It is unknown how many members the Kakushi have, as well as how they recruit members, making these members quite mysterious. In some cases, Kakushi members are retired Demon Slayers or Slayers who have been injured or disabled to the point they can't fight anymore. There are also individuals who failed to pass the Final Selection examination but became Kakushi in order to still be of use to the Demon Slayer Corps.

### Attire

They wear dark versions of the standard Demon Slayer uniforms consisting of a modified gakuran jacket and hakama pants. Said gakuran jacket has a longer hem and puffed sleeves to allow them to move freely, with the kanji of the brigade's name inked on the back (隠). Their forearms and their shins are covered in a black stretchy fabric, securing their sleeves and hakama respectively. For footwear, they wear plain white tabi socks connected to reed-colored zori flats.

To protect their identity, they wear dark head coverings with white linings, and a paper-like mask with three dark lines is tied around their face, divided in two sections, one in the front and the back, left to hang freely to allow them to speak and breathe easily.

## History

During the golden era of the Demon Slayers in the Sengoku period, a traitor Demon Slayer named Michikatsu Tsugikuni became a demon and soon after killed the then-acting leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. He took the leader's head to Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji. Ever since then, more effort was put into hiding the residence the Corps' leader lived in. This was the time when the Kakushi were first formed.

With Muzan's defeat and the Demon Slayer Corps' officially disbanding, the Kakushi also ceased to exist.

## Trivia

* The kanji used for the brigade's name means "**hidden**" (隠, *kakushi*?). Other meanings include "**conceal**", "**invisible**", "**pity**", "**sympathize**", which overall reflects the nature of their work.
