Yoshioka (吉 (よし) 岡 (おか) , Yoshioka^?) is a Demon Slayer from the Demon Slayer Corps.

Appearance

Yoshioka is a male with a short hair, short bushy eyebrows similar to Takeuchi, and a noticeably round nose.

Personality

Not much is known about his personality, but he is impressed by the Hashira's skills.

History

At a point in his life, Noguchi joined the Demon Slayer Corps.

Synopsis

Hashira Training Arc

Yoshioka is first seen undergoing Gyomei Himejima's muscle amplification training while enduring a waterfall with Inosuke Hashibira, Nagakura, and Shimamoto. He is later seen eating and conversing with Murata and Tanjiro while eating fish. He concurs with Murata, Noguchi, Nagakura, and Shimamoto with the sentiment that the reason the current Hashira have no Tsuguko is because they all became frightened by the laborious training. Nevertheless, he enjoys and compliments Tanjiro's cooking, and is even moved to tears by his grilled onigiri.

Final Battle Arc

Assuming that Yoshioka was one of the many Demon Slayers transported into the Infinity Castle, it's unknown if Yoshioka was one of the many Demon Slayers weeded out by either the lower ranking demons infesting the castle, or by Muzan Kibutsuji himself following his emergence from his flesh caccoon and after the castle collapsed. It should be noted that when confronting Muzan, Inosuke lamented the deaths of Demon Slayers he had shared meals with and demands that he gives them back. Since Yoshioka matches this description, his death is a possibility.

Abilities

Yoshioka is presumed to have above average Demon Slayer abilities, as evidenced by him reaching the final stage of Hashira Training, and not quitting the grueling training like other Demon Slayers.

Trivia

• Yoshioka's Japanese voice actor is unknown, with only his English voice actor being revealed in the Netflix release of Season 4.
• Yoshioka shares an English voice actor with the Mantis Demon in Steve Staley.
• Like his fellow trainees, Yoshioka's name was revealed in a text block in Chapter 134, which was omitted in Episode 60 of the anime, leaving him a nameless extra.
