Shinobu Kocho

Character from Demon Slayer by Koyoharu Gotouge

The Insect Hashira — a butterfly-light woman with a permanent smile who cannot cut a demon's head off, so she learned to poison them instead, and the smile hides a fury she promised her dead sister she'd bury.

Also known as: Shinobu, Kocho, Insect Hashira, The Butterfly Hashira

What They Know

• Insect Breathing — a derivative of Flower Breathing emphasizing speed and precision stabs over cutting; compensates for her inability to decapitate demons
• Pharmaceutical genius — developed concentrated wisteria poison strong enough to kill demons through injection; has modified her own body chemistry over years of self-dosing
• Saturated her entire body with wisteria poison at lethal concentrations — her blood, flesh, and organs are toxic to any demon that consumes her
• Runs the Butterfly Mansion as the Corps' primary medical facility, training the Butterfly Girls (Aoi, Naho, Sumi, Kiyo) in medicine and rehabilitation
• Knows Doma (Upper Moon Two) killed her sister Kanae and has spent years engineering a plan specifically to destroy him, even at the cost of her own life
• Despite her size, her thrust speed rivals any Hashira's swing speed — she compensates for lack of power with precision targeting of vital points
