![]() ![]() When he was two years old, Hotaru was so horrible to deal with that his parents had a mental breakdown and the village's chief, had to raise him. Hotaru was born from a long line of swordsmiths from the Haganezuka Clan. As a perfectionist, any small scratch on a blade that is irremovable hurts him immensely. When the process of forging or refining is interrupted by taking the sword away, he feels the need to restart the whole process from scratch again. His concentration on sword making is so immense that it prevents him from paying any attention to his surroundings when forging a blade, even when a demon is attacking him and inflicting severe injuries on him. Although he won't be honest about it, he is actually happy that Tanjiro still trusts him in making his swords. His intense and asocial behavior also causes other swordsmen to hate him and he lost a lot of clients because of this. Īs Hotaru is socially inept in dealing with people, he is still unmarried. Bystanders can subdue him by either pinning him down or tickling his sides, as demonstrated by Kozo Kanamori, after which he will fall limp. When angry, he usually calms himself down by eating mitarashi dango. The same passion that gives him the enthusiasm and extreme dedication in creating swords is also the reason why he is easily enraged (usually in a comical fashion) towards swordsmen that break his creations, especially Tanjiro Kamado, no matter the circumstance. His passion for swords is so strong that he would be able to speak about them for long periods of time, a trait unique even among other swordsmiths. He seems to show very little care, if any, about anything besides the swords he creates. ![]() Hotaru is a rather hot-blooded individual.

When traveling he wears a large, woven hat with hanging floral wind chimes on top of the head scarf.ĭuring the Swordsmith Village Arc, he is seen with a more muscular build compared to his initial appearance after he had been training in the mountains. Like the rest of the swordsmiths, his face is concealed by a Hyottoko mask (wooden festival mask) to conceal his identity. Hotaru wears a sunflower-patterned haori and has his head wrapped in a spotted head scarf. ![]()
