Iguro Obanai Age: 21 Height: 163cm Weight: 53kg Favorite Food: Dried Kelp Characteristics: He has a snake named Kaburamaru wrapped around his neck. He is the 'Serpent Hashira.' The Iguro family was actually a clan that served a female snake demon, enjoying wealth by stealing valuables from the demon's victims in exchange for sacrificing their own infants. Since Obanai's birthplace was Hachijo Island in Tokyo, a place used for exiling criminals before the Meiji Restoration, many expected him to have a tragic past. From birth until the age of 12, Obanai was raised entirely inside a cage. Every time he tried to sleep, he heard something crawling on the ceiling. On his 12th birthday, the family took him to the snake demon. As soon as he saw the demon, he realized that the thing crawling on his ceiling was that very creature. It was revealed that while the snake demon preferred eating infants, Obanai was a rare male born into the family with heterochromia, so she decided to raise him until he grew larger to savor him. The family fed him greasy foods to fatten him up. Because of this, Obanai grew to loathe the smell of greasy food. Furthermore, the cage he was kept in had poor ventilation, making the lingering smell of grease a constant torment. Meanwhile, the snake demon, suppressing her hunger until he was ready, ordered Obanai's mouth to be slit to the cheeks to match her own and drank his blood. After that day, he trusted no one except Kaburamaru, a snake that happened to enter his cage. He eventually succeeded in escaping by filing away the wooden bars of his cage with a stolen hairpin. After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, he vented all his rage on demons. Seeing people express gratitude after he saved them made him feel, even if just a little, like he was becoming a good person.
