Murata

Murata is a member of the Demon Slaying Corps.

Appearance
Murata possesses plain, unremarkable features; straight jet-black hair parted down the middle and similarly colored eyes.

Personality
Not much about Murata's personality is known, though he does seem braver than most, continuing to fight atop Natagumo Mountain even after his entire group was wiped out.

History
Murata's history before his mission to Natagumo Mountain is unknown, though it can be surmised that he, much like most of the first Demon Slayers sent to the mountain was fairly low in rank, likely around Mizunoe or Kanoto.

Natagumo Mountain Arc
Having been sent to Natagumo Mountain to exterminate the Demons living there, Murata was approached by Tanjiro Kamado and Inosuke Hashibira. He explained to them how the Demon Slayers sent to the area started killing each other as soon as they arrived. He was then startled by the arrival of another of these puppet soldiers. Locked in combat with one of them, he is saved from a sneak attack by his two juniors, hastily introducing himself while fighting once more. The senior officer then urged them to leave the puppet soldiers to him, despite Inosuke's insults, warning them of the possibility of stronger controlled people up ahead.

Some time later, Murata was ambushed by the Older Sister Spider Demon and wrapped up in her Acid Cocoon technique, which he couldn't cut out of. He was freed by the Insect Pillar, Shinobu Kocho, and asked whether it was a good decision to have let the Older Sister Demon live. The Pillar explained that she had actually used wisteria poison to kill their opponent, before pointing out his lack of clothes, much to Murata's embarrassment.

Functional Recovery Training Arc
Murata visited Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu at the Butterfly Estate. He complained about the hellish situation of being summoned to the Pillar Meeting to report what had happened on Natugumo Mountain, leaving hastily when Shinobu also came to visit.

Abilities and Powers
Murata's Breath Style is unknown.

Trivia
After his run-in with the Older Sister Spider Demon and his subsequent rescue by Shinobu Kocho, Murata acts highly awkward around her, most likely because of his lingering embarrassment from the Natagumo Mountain Arc.
