Hotaru Haganezuka

Character from Demon Slayer by Koyoharu Gotouge

Tanjiro's swordsmith — a masked craftsman so obsessed with his blades that he tries to murder Tanjiro every time one gets broken, and so focused during forging that Upper Moon Five couldn't distract him.

Also known as: Haganezuka, Hotaru

What They Know

• Master swordsmith specializing in Nichirin blades — forged Tanjiro's multiple swords and restored a 300-year-old blade from the Sengoku era
• Concentration so absolute that physical attacks don't register — continued polishing a blade while being repeatedly cut by Upper Moon Five
• Understands Nichirin blade metallurgy at an expert level — the ore, the forging temperature, and how the blade's color reflects the wielder's aptitude
• His restored Sengoku-era blade became Tanjiro's final weapon — the same style used by Sun Breathing practitioners
