Ozaki

Ozaki was a minor character in the Mount Natagumo Arc of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. She was one of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps sent on a mission to Mount Natagumo.

Appearance
Ozaki was a plain-looking young girl with wide, dark brown eyes that faded to a lighter color at the bottom and shoulder-length black hair that she wore tied up in a mid ponytail, with some shorter bangs left hanging over her face.

She wore the standard Demon Slayer uniform.

Personality
Despite her short presence, it is presently obvious that she was a very kind and selfless girl. She warned her fellow Demon Slayers to not approach her since she would just end up unintentionally hurting them, begging them to summon someone of higher rank, not just for her but for the other captured Demon Slayers.

Mount Natagumo Arc
Ozaki was first seen encountering Tanjiro Kamado and Inosuke Hashibira on Mount Natagumo, where she was being forcibly controlled by Mother of the Spider Family to kill her own comrades. After seeing this happen, Ozaki was horrified but could do nothing to deal with Mother, since she was attached through some of Mother's strongest threads. She warned Tanjiro and Inosuke to not come near her and to call the higher ups for backup against the family of demons. Ozaki was then recklessly thrown towards Tanjiro, made to attack him by the Spider Demon, who forced her body to perform moves it physically could not, breaking her arms at their joints in doing so. Tanjiro hesitated for a moment, thinking of the safest way to immobilize Ozaki without harming her, and then decided that the best plan was to string her up in a tree, tangling the webs that were controlling her in the branches and getting her safely out of harm's way. However, when he and Inosuke carried this out on her and another captured Demon Slayer, Mother became enraged, deeming Ozaki and the rest of her puppets useless and snapping their necks with a thread, leading to their demise.

Swordsmanship
As a low-ranking Demon Slayer, it can be assumed that Ozaki possessed the capability to swiftly deal with the weaker demons.
