Personality[]
Hisa comes off as a very kind and welcoming person, bringing in the injured Demon Slayers without hesitation and providing them with commodities for recovery. Despite Inosuke Hashibira's impolite nature, she proved to be very patient with him and doesn't appear to be affected by his remarks.[1]
Inosuke noted that even with his enhanced perception, Hisa's kind demeanor made it impossible for him to detect her presence because she bore no ounce of ill-will towards him.
History[]
Hisa's family was once saved by the Demon Slayers and they started managing a free rest house for them as a token of gratitude for their work.[2]
Synopsis[]
Tsuzumi Mansion Arc[]
Following their battle at the Tsuzumi Mansion, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke are guided by Tanjiro's Ksaugai Crow to Hisa's lodging for rest and recovery. Opening the door to the commotion outside, Hisa greets the three Demon Slayers and offers them to come in; Inosuke begins poking her, to Tanjiro's annoyance, but she leads them in without notice him. Inside the house, Hisa provides them with new clothes and food. After eating, she provides them with futons to sleep in and introduces them to a doctor to treat their injuries.[3]
After the three have recovered, they are directed to their new mission in the forests of Mount Natagumo. Before they depart, Hisa strike a kiribe flint to bid them good luck on their mission. Confused, Inosuke angrily yells at her, causing Tanjiro to hold him back and Zenitsu to stand in front of Hisa, though she does not mind his behavior.[4]
Infinity Castle Arc[]
As Tanjiro watches Giyu Tomioka fight Akaza, he recalls a conversation he had with Inosuke regarding the ability to sense danger through his body. Inosuke notes that while he can detect bloodlust through even a glance at him, Hisa's kind personality inadvertently enabled her to sneak up on him due to her possessing no negative emotions whatsoever.[5]
Abilities[]
As an ordinary human, she doesn't posses any additional powers or abilities.
Trivia[]
