Hotaru first appears at Urokodaki's house to deliver Tanjiro's Nichirin Sword after the latter passes the Final Selection. ![]() HistoryĪt some point, Hotaru was born in the Swordsmith Village and eventually became a swordsmith that forges Nichirin Swords for the Demon Slayers. ![]() His concentration also prevents him from paying any attention to his surroundings when forging a decent blade, even when a demon was attacking him. It is later on shown that his skills and concentration on swords is so immense that he would lose clients due to his eccentric and asocial behavior and is actually happy that Tanjiro still trusts him in making his swords. When angry, he usually calms himself down by eating mitarashi dango or by having others pin him down (one method being tickling his sides). The same passion that gives him the enthusiasm and extreme dedication in creating swords is also the reason why he is easily enraged (usually in a comical fashion) towards swordsmen that break his creations, especially Tanjiro Kamado, no matter the circumstance. His passion for swords is so strong that he would be able to speak about them for long periods of time, a trait unique even among the people from the Swordsmith Village. He seems to show very little care, if any, about anything besides the swords he creates. Hotaru is a rather hot-blooded individual. The angry letters Hotaru writes to Tanjiro. However upon being attacked by Upper Rank Five, Gyokko, Hotaru now possesses several deep scars and cuts from the Demon all over his body, including an X-shaped one on his face, and has now lost the use of his left eye.

His head is wrapped in a spotted cloth and his face is concealed by a Hyottoko mask (wooden festival mask), similar to Sakonji Urokodaki.ĭuring the Swordsmith Village Arc, he is seen with a more muscular build compared to his initial appearance. The first was his sister, so I guess it just runs in their jeans? Like diarrhea! Sorry, I meant genes.Hotaru wears a sunflower-patterned haori and a large, woven hat with hanging floral wind chimes. He is also the second demon in existence to become immune to the effects of sunlight. His demon powers allow him to sprout gross tentacles from his back (just like Muzan) that he uses to try and cut his old friends to pieces. What a jerk! However, he does it in a pretty cinematic way. ![]() The newly awakened Demonjiro begins to mindlessly attack his former Hashira companions. ![]() It was part of his nefarious plan all along! After all, it was theorized by the series big bads that Tanjiro’s demonic potential surpasses even that of his sister, one of the strongest demons in existence. As Muzan is about to shuffle off the mortal coil, he uses the last of his powers to turn Tanjiro into a demon. At the same time, Muzan receives a particularly fatal lil’ booboo himself. During Tanjiro and the rest of the Hashiras’ showdown with the Demon King Muzan, Tanjiro is mortally wounded and dies. For those of you who HAVE actually read the manga, you would know that Tanjiro struggles with his “inner demons” QUITE LITERALLY in one of the manga’s final arcs. Yes! The Demon Slayer manga!
