Hotaru Haganezuka VS Shoichi

Hotaru Haganezuka (鋼鐵はがね塚づか 蛍ほたる Haganezuka Hotaru?) is a swordsmith affiliated with the Demon Slayer Corps. Hotaru wears a sunflower-patterned robe and a large, woven hat with hanging floral wind chimes. His head is wrapped in a spotted cloth and his face is concealed by a Hyottoko mask (wooden festival mask), similar to Sakonji Urokodaki. During the Swordsmith Village Arc, he is seen with a more muscular build compared to his initial appearance.[2] Unmasked, Hotaru is revealed to have long, black hair coupled with sharp eyes and distinctly-shaped thick eyebrows.[3] However upon being attacked by Upper Rank 5, Gyokko, Hotaru now possesses several deep scars and cuts from the Demon all over his body, including an X-shaped one on his face, and has now lost the use of his right eye.

He also has a younger sister, Teruko. Shoichi is a young boy of around 8-10, with black hair and light brown eyes. He wears a blue haori over a light green tunic. While his personality is not fully elaborated on, one can assume he is a loyal brother as he decides to follow his older brother to rescue him after he was kidnapped by a demon. He has also shown a protective side while interacting with his younger sister. It can be surmised that Shoichi is braver than average, as he decides to follow the two Demon Slayers, Tanjiro and Zenitsu, into the Drum House. Even when separated from the others with Zenitsu, he shows more courage than the Thunder Breath user.
