Sumire Kamado

**Sumire Kamado** (竈門 瑾禰, *Kamado Sumire*?) is the daughter of Sumiyoshi and Suyako Kamado and an ancestor of the Kamado Family.

## Etymology

* Her given name, **Sumire**, has the meanings of "fine jade" (瑾, *sumi*?) and "sacred object, ancestral shrine, mausoleum" (禰, *re*?).

## Appearance

Sumire is a very young small child, with messy black hair that is tipped with red and tied back with a pink bow. She has large black eyes that fade to pink with white pupils, a trait common among the Kamado family.

She wears a grid-patterned pale purple kimono with a light pink obi and has no footwear.

## Personality

Sumire is usually happy and cheerful, always shown smiling, as is typical of a toddler. Being very young, she is curious, as shown when she approaches Yoriichi talking with her father and later watched him perform the moves of his Sun Breathing. According to Sumiyoshi, Sumire enjoys being lifted up and she squeals with joy when Yoriichi picks her up, since Yoriichi is much taller than Sumiyoshi. Despite her happy-go-lucky demeanor, she appears saddened when Yoriichi leaves them for the last time.

## History

Sumire was born on September 6th, 1453 AD to Sumiyoshi and Suyako Kamado on Mount Kumotori at the house Yoriichi and Uta used to stay in after Yoriichi saved the Kamados from a demon attack.

Two years later in the year 1455 AD, while Sumiyoshi and Sumire stood outside their home, she notices Yoriichi Tsugikuni nearby standing under a tree and tugs at her father's clothes to inform him. After a long chat, where Yoriichi tells Sumiyoshi about his life and his regrets about Muzan's escape, the moment grows gloomy; Yoriichi becomes despondent after reminiscing on his tragedies and Sumiyoshi cannot find ways to cheer him up. At that moment, Sumire appears.

   Tugging at the Demon Slayer's haori, she asks him to carry her. Yoriichi obliges at his friend's request, noting she enjoys it greatly. As Yoriichi lifts her up, she becomes overjoyed. Her laughter causes him to break down in tears and he hugs the little girl. Though somewhat bewildered, Sumire returns the favour and embraces him too. Her mother appears shortly after and cheers Yoriichi up as well.

Sometime later, Sumire offers Yoriichi a flower as a gift. While in her mother's arms, she watches Yoriichi perform the Sun Breathing's forms in a show at her mother's request, smiling at the end.
