Breath of Flames

Breath of Flames (炎 (ほのお) の呼 (こ) 吸 (きゅう) , Honō no kokyū^?) is one of the five main Breath Styles directly derived from the Breath of the Sun. The Breath Style of the Breath of Flames seemed to have been developed by a distant ancestor of the Rengoku Family, who was originally a student of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. It can be assumed that this student attempted to master the Breath of the Sun but, due to him not being as innately powerful as Yoriichi, his teacher altered his Breath Style training in order to better focus on his students individual strengths and weaknesses. Eventually, his student continued to develop and train this style until it became its own unique breath and was subsequently named the Breath of Flames. Since then, this particular Breath Style has been passed down and taught through generations of his descendants and the future members of the Demon Slayer Corps.^[1]
