Demon Slayer: Inosuke , also known as the Demon, is a muscular and extremely confident guy who always thinks he is the strongest. Inosuke's humorous details make a strong impression on fans, but his unique personality is formed from a very tragic past.
Why does Demon Slayer: Inosuke have such a strange personality?
Inosuke did not understand the relationship between humans very well, because when he was young he was raised by wild boars. It was not until later when he came down from the mountain that an old man taught him to speak human language. Because of this, his vocabulary was very limited and he could not remember other people's names.
Initially, with the nature of a wild boar, he always thought that anyone who came near him had the intention to attack. Fortunately, after joining the Demon Slayer Corps and working with Tanjiro, this gradually changed. Initially, Demon Slayer: Inosuke affirmed that he did not have a human mother, but then the truth was gradually revealed: he had a mother named Kotoha.
In Chapter 160 of the Demon Slayer manga, Upper Moon Two Doma – one of the Twelve Demon Moons under the command of Demon King Muzan – recognizes Inosuke during a battle. To confirm, he pierces his own skull and stirs the insides to remember. It is revealed that Inosuke's mother, Kotoha, was once in his sect.
The Past of Poor Mother Kotoha
Inosuke's father had brutally abused his mother. Unable to bear it any longer, Kotoha escaped with her son and sought refuge in Doma's cult. Inosuke's mother often sang him a lullaby called "Pink Promise". Just when they thought they had found peace, Kotoha accidentally discovered that Doma was a Devil and had been eating his followers, so she decided to run away.
While escaping in hopes of finding a human village, Kotoha and Inosuke got lost and Doma cornered them on a cliff. Left with no other choice, Kotoha desperately threw Inosuke into the river in an attempt to escape, and she succeeded. Demon Slayer: Inosuke was later found and raised by a wild boar. Kotoha was brutally murdered by Doma. As Doma recounted this story, Inosuke began to recall memories of his mother, especially the lullaby she used to sing.
Kotoha's Past and Demon Slayer: Inosuke is not only one of the most tragic stories in the Demon Slayer anime, but also shows the boundless love of a mother. Doma asserts that Kotoha has never had a happy moment in her life. However, he is just a demon who is incapable of feeling emotions, unable to understand that Kotoha's greatest happiness is the existence of Inosuke. With the hope that her son will survive, Kotoha did not hesitate to choose to save Inosuke, even though it could lead to her death.
