PERSONALITY (spoilers within!):

Kimetsu no Yaiba is a series that takes place in the Taishou time period ( 1912 — 1926 ) in Japan where humans and demons populate the Earth. The demons are the main antagonists of the series— they feed on humans and turn them into demons to multiply. The series follows the adventures of the Demon Slayer Corps, a special OP group that kills demons. Inosuke is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps and a good guy of the series.

Inosuke can be summed up as a person who is stubborn, headstrong, arrogant and aggressive upon first meeting him. Both his violent and cocky personality is seen from the moment Tanjiro & Zenitsu meet him. Since he was raised by wild boars, Inosuke wanted to fight them before befriending them in a conflict where he wanted to prove his strength to them. He doesn't know anything better than what he learned from is wild animal parents growing up. He's brazen and initiates fights with people upon first impression, believing that if he defeats as many people as he can, he will become the "strongest" or the "ruler" of a territory he is in. Other than that, he loves being argumentative and difficult to get along with.. for really no other reason other than it's just who he is.

Inosuke's persistence to fight others can be overbearing seeing as he didn't leave Zenitsu & Tanjiro alone until they fought him. That's how he got roped into their group and eventually, he became friends with them. His feral behavior is somewhat puzzling to people since he's never properly been disciplined, he doesn't really know how to act like a normal human being and can seem more animal-like at times. For example, Inosuke seems to eat anything put in front of him, regardless if it was someone else's food and devour it down with the bones included. He doesn't even know how to use chopsticks or, really, have any tact whatsoever.

As mentioned, he doesn't precisely mean to come across as someone who appears angry all the time, but rather, he wants people to be intimidated by him and recognize his "greatness." This is seen multiple times as he talks about how awesome he is and insists that his friends are "underlings" and he is their boss-- someone that people can rely on. Because of his desire to be thought of as robust, Inosuke wears a boar's mask to seem more intimidating because the face he is born with is very feminine and gentle looking. His face is one thing of his that could be considered a weakness as he instantly is self-defensive of his face once it is accidentally revealed to Tanjiro & Zenitsu and it remains one of the ongoing jokes in the series since his voice is extremely deep and his personality is opposite of what his face looks like.

Another weakness could be his lack of childhood as his mother was killed by a demon and he was left to survive on his own. Inosuke is seen crying when he finally has memories of what his true mother was like. Before then, he didn't even claim to be human. It takes a lot to make Inosuke cry (though, it is very possible) and this is one of the few instances where he is seen crying the most.

Inosuke is sometimes considered dense in the head since he's illiterate and never learned how to read or write. He has trouble reading the atmosphere or complying with basic human interaction. In fact, he almost attacks an old lady when she is blessing them on their mission since he doesn't understand what she is doing. On top of that, he seems to jump into action head first without a plan of action. This can be a weakness at times during fights since he'd rather just spring forth without thinking things through or having a game plan. However, he's beginning to learn to think things through the longer he watches Tanjiro's fighting style and this, in turn, has helped him in his battles against the demons as he plans a course of action. Inosuke realizes this at one point and seems to be in denial of the fact, apparently self aware and proud that he's someone who is rambunctious (and would rather not change that aspect about himself.)

Aggressiveness aside, Inosuke is a very good person. He is very loyal once people have wormed their way into his heart and wants to be a person that his friends can rely on-- someone who can protect others. He is extremely brave and is only seen nervous around crowds of people (since he isn't used to it) or a train (something he's never seen before.) He takes much pride in who he is as a person and sees nothing wrong with that or who he is. Overall, he seems to have a pretty positive air about himself and acts as if nothing can defeat or stop him (which in most cases, is basically true.)

POWERS/ABILITIES:

Enhanced Sense of Touch: Inosuke's biggest power is the fact he has is a heightened sense of feel. He can tell when people are looking at him, especially if they have violent intentions, and can even sense where they plan to attack him at. He can locate others within far distances by simply feeling which direction they are at. Inosuke doesn't like to wear clothes or be in confined spaces because of his sensitivity to touch.

Flexibility: Inosuke can bend and twist all sorts of different directions without feeling any discomfort. He's also known to dislocate his joints in many ways without pain and claims he can even rearrange his organs inside of his body at will. Yeah, he's an absolute nutcase.

Resistance to Poison: Inosuke was able to survive deadly poison entering his system and has a near immunity to the most deadliest poison. Because of this, his body also resists medicine, which could put him at a different kind of danger.

Stamina/Acrobats: He's a hefty boy who continues to fight even when he's slashed and beaten up. Inosuke is seen pulling large boulders attached to a rock over tree limbs, breathing strong enough into a vase to break it, climbing on the ceiling by just using his hands and doing all sorts of crazy stuff. One of the only things that has knocked him out is a solid headbutt from Tanjiro's thick head.

Swordsmanship: Inosuke uses a technique developed by himself called Breath of the Beast in which he uses in his fighting style. Inosuke wields two swords when he is fighting and tends to use them both at the same time with each of his attacks.

Close Combat Fighting: Even without his Nichirin swords, Inosuke can fight rather well in close combat. His style of fighting is described by Tanjiro as a wild boar.. which makes sense.. considering he was raised by them.

INVENTORY:
- His boar head mask.
- Both of his chipped Nichirin swords.
- The kimono he wore at the brothel.


MOONBLESSING: Iris.
