Shigeru Kamado

Shigeru Kamado is Tanjiro Kamado's second youngest brother. He was killed by Muzan Kibutsuji.

Appearance
Shigeru is young boy with light complexion and dark red eyes with white pupils, just like the rest of his family. His black hair is worn as a buzz cut.

Shigeru wears a light green and black patterned kimono with a light green haori over it and a white nagajuban under everything.

Personality
Shigeru appears to be very fond of his brother, Tanjiro Kamado, wanting to follow him wherever he goes and do whatever he does. Like his siblings, he is upset when Tanjiro and his mother tells him he cannot go to town with him.

History
Shigeru grew up on a mountain alongside his siblings and mother. He is the second youngest son of the Kamado family.

Final Selection Arc
Shigeru and his sister, Hanako Kamado, want to follow Tanjiro into the city to sell charcoal with him. However, their mother stops them and says they would only slow Tanjiro down.

While Tanjiro is in the town, Muzan came to his home and attacked Shigeru along with his mother, and siblings as he proceeded to inject Shigeru with his blood, hoping that he could create a Demon who could withstand sunlight. However, he was disappointed when Shigeru didn't survive, believing that creating a Demon capable of withstanding sunlight was not so easy. He left his home seemingly unaware that his older daughter, Nezuko, survived as she got turned into a Demon.

After Tanjiro gets knocked unconscious by Giyu Tomioka, Shigeru and his deceased siblings, along with their mother, are seen looking over Tanjiro with worried expressions.

When Tanjiro is attacked by the Hand Demon and falls unconscious during the Final Selection, Shigeru enters Tanjiro's thoughts to help him regain consciousness and avoid being killed.

Trivia
