Inosuke Hashibira

Inosuke Hashibira is a Demon Slayer in the Demon Slaying Corps and a traveling companion of Tanjirou Kamado.

Appearance
Inosuke is usually seen wearing a grey boar mask, with a shirtless version of the Demon Slayer uniform. Without the mask, he has messy shoulder-length black hair that fades to a blue color, and large green eyes with long eyelashes. He is described as having a girly looking face which significantly contrasts with his muscular body.

Personality
Inosuke is extraordinarily short-tempered and proud and makes a big deal out of fighting opponents stronger than him claiming that's his only hobby. Inosuke will not think about the difference in power between him and his opponent; this often led him to be in danger. He is a sore loser and is always trying to compete with Tanjiro and provoke him into fighting with him and usually failing. Due to growing up in the mountains by himself Inosuke has trouble interacting with others and only cares about himself most of the time. However, as time goes by, Inosuke becomes more influenced by Tanjiro, and he also starts to think and to use strategies before going head-on with an opponent.

Enhanced sense of touch: After growing up in the mountains, Inosuke developed a sharp sense of touch. He can even feel small vibrations in the air.
