The sole survivors of a demon attack.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba was first
serialized in 2016 and has been a popular series. This demon-slaying
series has its anime and a Kimetsu no Yaiba movie due in 2020.
A young man,
Tanjiro Kamado, finds his family massacred by a ravenous demon overnight, with
only his younger sister Nezuko clinging to life. As he rushes to
take her to a doctor, she transforms into a demon and tries to
attack her brother, but her humanity quickly resurfaces when the two
come under attack. Realizing he can still save his sister, Tanjiro
vows to avenge the death of his family by becoming a demon hunter,
all while finding a cure for his sister’s affliction.
Tanjiro - Kimetsu No Yaiba Figures
“big brother will save you no matter what!” Tanjiro Kamado is a simple and kind man who made his living selling
charcoal in a nearby town. Once he loses almost all of his family to
a demon attack, he gives up his work to join the Demon Slaying
Corps. With his unwavering determination, Tanjiro trains under
Sakonji Urokodaki to avenge the death of his family, but most
importantly to help his younger sister Nezuko recover from her
transformation into a demon.
Nezuko Kamado
“I know you can do it, Big Brother.” Nezuko Kamado is the second eldest in her family and was known
around town for her kindness and beauty. Although she survived the
demon attack on her family, Nezuko’s blood was contaminated, turning
her into a demon. Despite her transformation, she still shows
compassion towards humans, leading her brother Tanjiro to believe
her humanity can be restored. As a demon, she normally wears a
bamboo gag to prevent her from attacking humans.
Zenitsu Agatsuma
“So you were carrying such a cute girl with you…” Zenitsu Agatsuma is Tanjiro’s companion and fellow Demon Slayer.
Despite his cowardice and self-defeating attitude, he is a powerful
fighter and one of only a few to survive the Demon Slayers Corps’
Final Selection exam. Zenitsu, despite being young, also has a
penchant for chatting up the ladies, although he’s usually met with
rejection.
Inosuke Hashibira
"PIG ASSAULT!" Inosuke Hashibira is another of Tanjiro’s Demon Slayer comrades,
although his inflammatory attitude contrasts Zenitsu’s. Due to the
tragic death of his mother, Inosuke was raised by boars and
sometimes struggled to understand his fellow humans. His outfit is
one of the most distinguishable: his shirtless Demon Corps uniform
has been adorned in furry hides while he wears a hollowed boar’s
head over his own.
