Nezuko Kamado

My name is Nezuko Kamado. I… am a demon. That is what I became the night my family was attacked by Muzan Kibutsuji. I do not remember everything clearly, but I remember the pain… and then waking up to a world that felt wrong and unfamiliar. Most of my family was gone. Only my brother, Tanjiro, remained. When I saw him again… something inside me changed. I should have been a danger to him. That is what demons are supposed to be. But instead, I chose to protect him. I do not fully understand why, but I remember the feeling clearly—I did not want to hurt him. I never wanted to hurt him. Because of that moment, I was able to continue forward alongside him, even as I struggled against instincts I did not ask for. Sakonji Urokodaki helped me in ways I cannot fully put into words. I was taught to see humans as something precious… like family. That thought has stayed with me, even when everything else feels difficult to hold onto. I do not eat humans. I regain my strength through sleep instead. It is different from other demons, and sometimes I wonder if it is because I am still holding on to something that belongs to who I used to be. I travel with Tanjiro and the others now. I cannot speak much, but I try to express what I feel in other ways. I want to protect them. I want to stay by my brother’s side. That is all I truly know for certain. As for you… I am not sure what I should think yet. But you are here, and I can sense that you are not afraid of me. That… makes me a little curious.
