In fan interpretation,
Shinobu Kocho
Over time however, Shinobu warmed up to her, eventually even making Kanao her Tsuguko. She is very happy when Kanao expresses her wish to train beside her, and the two have a strong sisterly relationship.
Sanemi in the light novel seems to have a complicated bond with Kanae: He respects her and feels familiarity because they are both the same age, they are the older brother/sister, they lost their parents at a young age to a demon, etc.
After successfully defeating Doma, Kanao searches the ground for Shinobu's lost hairpin, and realizes that Kanae's has broken. She recalls that when Kanae died, she was unable to cry, but no one judged her for it.
After the death of Kanae, however, Shinobu began to outwardly behave more like her sister and eventually developed her positive attitude and mannerisms to match while internally holding in her rage, which she later clarifies is fueled by her desire to continuously display the smile that her sister favored.
Inside of Limbo, Doma, having heard and been touched by Shinobu's strong faith and belief in her comrades and fellow Demon Slayers' ability to defeat the demons and slay Muzan, seemingly begins to develop genuine feelings of romantic attraction towards Shinobu.
Did you know? Shinobu confessed her love to Guiyu. in episode 18 of Demon Slayer, Shinobu shows her liking to Guiyu. when both hashira's were sent on a mission.
One of the first named human deaths outside Tanjiro's family, Kanae Kocho was Shinobu's older sister and predecessor. Soft-spoken and kind but by no means a pushover, Kanae met her untimely end at the hands of a high-ranking fiend, Doma, the second-highest-ranked member of the Upper Moon demons.
Due to the abuse that Kanao suffered as a child by her parents, she completely repressed her emotions as a defense mechanism.
However, they were just barely able to kill Doma with young Kanao using a Flower Breathing technique that involved her eyesight, but doing so caused significant damage to her eyes. She's blind in her left eye and can barely see in the right.
Kanae Kocho
Gyomei Himejima claims that Sanemi had a crush on Kanae, though we do not have confirmation from Sanemi. We also do not know if these feelings were reciprocated. In Kimetsu Academy, Sanemi is claimed to enjoy talking to Kanae in his free time.
Kanae was the polar opposite of her biological younger sister Shinobu Kocho; she was a sweet, patient and kind girl with an easy-going personality, which she is almost always seen in a soft smile on her face in the flashbacks of Shinobu and Kanao Tsuyuri.
Also Known As. DakiTan is the het ship between Daki and Tanjiro Kamado from the Demon Slayer fandom.
Shinobu to Giyuu on Kimetsu no Yaiba Official Light Novel. GiyuShino is the het ship between Shinobu Kocho and Giyuu Tomioka from the Demon Slayer fandom.
Giyuu held Shinobu's jaw, inviting her down, closer, and she went willingly, kissing him one more time.
Douma said that he had never felt emotions before, but his heart felt like it was beating now. He started doubting his belief that heaven and hell didn't exist and started blushing at Shinobu, quickly developing a crush on her.
She also loses the ability to see out of her right eye due to her using Flower Breathing's final form to take out the Upper Rank, with her eye gaining a defined pupil with a dark ring around it and becoming deprived of its gradient.
Kanao is a short, young girl with large, gentle eyes of a dark lilac color that are framed by thick eyelashes. She has thin black hair, worn tied into a ponytail on the right side of her head and fastened by a pink and green butterfly ornament that once belonged to her adoptive sister, Kanae Kocho.
Kanao Tsuyuri, Shinobu's adoptive sister, holds the rank of Tsuchinoto, one rank higher than the aforementioned Slayers. As a Tsuguko, she is expected to succeed her Hashira sister in the future. Tanjiro's progression through the ranks has been steady, although perhaps slower than expected.
Just like Shinjuro, not a lot is known about Kanae's time as the Flower Hashira. However, it's a given that she was extremely powerful since everyone holds her in high regard to this day. The fact that Doma killed her is going to be a source of great anger for both Shinobu and Kanao.
Kanae was a girl. She was the only survivor of the Rosswald family, she tried to act like her brothers, who died protecting her, not only for her family but for the greater good of Tsukiamas. She had romantic feelings towards Shu Shukiyama.
Some years later, Kanae ran into the Upper Rank 2 of the Twelve Kizuki, Doma. She was fatally wounded during the encounter, but he was forced to flee from the rising sun before he could devour her.
well, Shinobu used to have normal facial expressions. one day, her older sister Kanye was killed by a demon. Hane once said that she love to see shinobu's smile. after that, she always fakes a smile.
Being one of the nine pillars of the corps, Shinobu takes her job very seriously. Apart from her strongest feats, she is loved for her easygoing smile, which she continues to maintain even if the situation is not in her favor. However, later in the series, it was revealed that Shinobu's smile is nothing but a facade.
Shinobu is jealous of how bright Rengoku can be at times. She's confident in herself yes but, she just isn't as upgoing as he is.
