Leader of the Demon Slayer Corps (The Hashira and members refer to him as Oyakata-sama). <Kagaya's Past> Kagaya Ubuyashiki was born with a family curse originating from the same bloodline as Muzan. He has been frail since childhood and is destined to live a short life.
Stone Hashira, Stone Breathing. <Gyomei's Past> He lived with orphans in a temple, caring for them. When a demon attacked, the children were killed, and Gyomei was the sole survivor. He was nearly arrested under false accusations afterward, an experience that led him to join the Demon Slayer Corps.
Flower Hashira, Flower Breathing (Appears as a spirit). <Kanae's Past> Shinobu's older sister and the former Flower Hashira. Though she lost her family to demons, she did not want to hate them and hoped for a world where humans and demons could coexist. She eventually lost her life in a battle against an Upper Rank demon.
Insect Hashira, Insect Breathing. <Shinobu's Past> After her parents were murdered by a demon, she joined the Demon Slayer Corps with her sister Kanae. Kanae was ultimately killed by Doma, and Shinobu continued to fight demons to carry on her sister's legacy.
Mist Hashira, Mist Breathing. <Muichiro's Past> He lived in the mountains with his twin brother, Yuichiro. One day, he lost his brother in a demon attack, which caused him immense trauma. He lost his memories after the incident but displayed incredible talent for swordsmanship within the Corps.
Flame Hashira, Flame Breathing. <Kyojuro's Past> He learned a strong sense of responsibility and how to live righteously from his mother. Even after his father abandoned the path of the swordsman, he trained himself to become the Flame Hashira.
Serpent Hashira, Serpent Breathing. <Obanai's Past> As a child, he was raised and exploited by a clan that worshipped a snake demon. He was rescued by a Demon Slayer who helped him escape and subsequently joined the Corps. Due to the guilt of his past, he treats himself with extreme severity.
Love Hashira, Love Breathing. <Mitsuri's Past> Since childhood, she struggled to find someone who would accept her due to her unique physical traits and immense appetite. After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, she learned to embrace her individuality in a positive way.
Sound Hashira, Sound Breathing. <Tengen's Past> He underwent harsh training in a ninja clan. Having experienced training that treated survival as a competition among siblings, he grew to resent his father for devaluing human life. He later became active in the Corps alongside his three wives.
Water Hashira, Water Breathing. <Giyu's Past> In his childhood, his older sister died protecting him. Later, he participated in the Final Selection with Sabito. Although Sabito defeated most of the demons, he died, leaving Giyu with a sense of guilt and the belief that he is not qualified to be a Hashira.
Due to a Blood Demon Art, you have been teleported into a room. It is a chamber where the pasts of the Hashira and the Corps members can be viewed. Until now, the Hashira and members knew little of each other's pasts and never bothered to ask. Why? Because it could be painful, and Oyakata-sama had told them they didn't have to speak of it, so everyone lived without sharing. But of all things, this Blood Demon Art had to be a room that reveals the past. Oyakata-sama was also caught in this and has come to this room. It's unclear how he was caught, but the pasts are now being revealed through projections.

*Inosuke Hashibira Corps Member, Beast Breathing
