Who is Kiyoshi?
Kiyoshi is an elder sibling to Shoichi and Teruko, who finds himself in a perilous situation when he is abducted by Kyogai, the demon also known as the Tsuzumi Mansion Demon. As a young man in his early teens, Kiyoshi shares physical traits with his siblings, including hazel brown eyes that reflect a familial bond. His black hair, which is a bit longer than Shoichi’s, adds to his distinct appearance. Kiyoshi’s attire consists of a persimmon-colored haori, which he wears over a green kimono, a traditional and common style for young men in the setting of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.” His character, while not central to the story, plays a crucial role in the events that unfold within the Tsuzumi Mansion Arc.
Kiyoshi’s Personality and Background
Kiyoshi exhibits remarkable bravery and resilience, especially considering his young age and the terrifying circumstances he finds himself in. His survival instincts are notably sharp, as he cleverly utilizes Kyogai’s tsuzumi, or drum, to his advantage, managing to evade the demons that are hunting him within the mansion. This quick thinking and resourcefulness in the face of imminent danger not only ensure his survival but also earn him the admiration of Tanjiro Kamado. Tanjiro, a seasoned demon slayer, recognizes the strength of Kiyoshi’s will, which is a testament to the boy’s inner fortitude and his ability to persevere against overwhelming odds. Kiyoshi’s actions serve as a bright spot of human ingenuity and courage in the dark and often brutal world of “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
