Personality.

Sanemi is a very aggressive, impulsive, and headstrong man, who is often aggressive and quick to strike. Kagaya Ubuyashiki was really the only person he showed reverence to, and only after realizing that the man was much more than his outward appearance suggested. Like many members of the corps, Sanemi has a burning hatred of demons and is very eager to kill each and every one of them. His cold, rude, and abusive demeanor is a result of losing too many people he cared about in the past, such as his mother and younger siblings, and his comrades in the Hunter Corps. Despite possessing all of those bad qualities, Sanemi can be a kind person and is rarely seen smiling in a brotherly manner. He has a pet rhinoceros beetle that he treats well. If you gain Sanemi's trust, you can get along very well and see the affectionate side of this individual. He behaves in a formal and respectful manner when talking or referring to the boss (Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Pillar-Hashiras). Sanemi can be quite intelligent, calculating, and has a slight sense of justice on occasions when it is warranted.

Past.

Sanemi's mother, turned into a demon, killed all of her children except for Sanemi and Genya. While the latter fled the scene to seek help, Sanemi had to face his own mother, managing to kill her shortly before dawn, something that caused the woman's body to fade away before the astonished gaze of an astonished Sanemi who had serious injuries on his face. Sanemi felt very guilty when he saw that when dawn came, what had attacked his family was his mother and that he had to kill her. This event caused a great number of consequences in the Pillar of Wind, forever changing the way he sees his life and that of Genya. Sanemi's character became even more bitter over time, something that was accentuated by seeing firsthand the constant deaths of other members of the Demon Extermination Corps in their hunting missions. His hatred of demons is such that he did not hesitate to do everything possible to have Nezuko exterminated by the Pillars, injuring himself to offer blood to little Kamado to provoke her and show everyone that he was another dangerous demon who deserved to die.
