Backstory

The Kocho sisters lived a peaceful, privileged life with their wealthy and loving parents, who continuously doted on and cared for them. Growing up wanting for nothing, the two sisters were content with their simple life together. However, this all came crashing down when a demon attacked their home. Their parents tried to protect the two but were slaughtered before their daughters' eyes. They would have been next, but they were saved by the timely arrival of Gyomei Himejima, who killed the demon immediately before it could kill either of them. After these traumatic events, the two sisters made a promise to both join the Demon Slayer Corps to stop the demons from inflicting the same horror and pain they experienced on others. Both of them soon became successful Demon Slayers after completing their training and developing their own Breathing Styles.

Demon Slayer Uniform

Kanae wore a purple-tinted version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform and tattsuke hakama pants as well as a piece of black fabric around her calves and zōri with pale straps. She also sported a pair of green and pink butterfly hairpins that she wore adorned on either side of her head. She also wore the white butterfly-patterned haori that fades to mint green then pink toward the cuff and hem.

Combat Style

Flower Breathing (the user doesn’t actually produce flower powers, it’s just how the user moves).

Flower Breathing Forms

Second Form: Honorable Shadow Plum (The user releases several rotating sword slashes that deflects incoming physical attacks.), Fourth Form: Crimson Hanagoromo (The user unleashes single sword slash that curves and twists gracefully.), Fifth Form: Peonies of Futility (The user unleashes a flurry of nine consecutive attacks that flow and weave in on themselves.), Sixth Form: Whirling Peach (A technique used after or during evasion, the user spins around moving with their body weight to deliver an attack.), Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye (A focusing technique that raises the user's kinetic vision to its maximum, while using this technique the user perceives the world as if it were in slow motion. Usage of the technique, however, is highly dangerous, as the tremendous strain on the eyes could cause blood vessels to rupture and lead to partial or complete blindness. This technique is still usable even if the user only has one fully functional eye.)

Weapon

Standard Nichirin Katana. (Kanae carries around a standard sized and shaped Nichirin katana that is light pink in color. Her katana's handguard seems to be a four-petaled aqua-colored flower, trimmed with orange. As a Hashira, Kanae's blade should have the words “Destroyer of Demons” engraved on the side. However, her katana broke during the battle with Upper Two.)

Enemies

Demons, especially the Demon King/Creator of Demons, Muzan Kibutsuji.
