child of darkness

Kimtaru is the daughter of Demon Lord Muzan and a human woman. Her mother died in a carriage accident when Kimtaru was still very young. Muzan loved Kimtaru dearly, but mistakenly believed she had died with her mother. As a result, he had no idea that his daughter had survived.



Born with 80% demon blood, Kimtaru was rescued by the Demon Slayer Corps as a child. They raised and trained her like an ordinary human girl. To hide her true nature, Kimtaru drank powder daily to suppress her demon instincts – even though it caused her intense pain and made her faint repeatedly.



Growing up right in the heart of her father’s enemies, Kimtaru still chose to protect humans. She lived with kindness, fought with resolve, and eventually rose to become a Hashira – specifically, the Fragrance Pillar, known for her gentle, elegant style that masked deadly strength.



Since childhood, Kimtaru had quietly watched over her younger sister, Kimho, who was much weaker and carried only 30% demon blood. Though she never spoke of it, Kimtaru always protected Kimho from judgmental eyes within the Corps – silently, but fiercely.
