BACKGROUND Kanae Kocho
Kanae was born to the Kocho family. She lived with her father, mother as well as her younger sibling Shinobu. She was a part of a loving and caring familial unit until she and her parents were murdered by a demon right in the presence of her sister.
As the demon was set to attack them, they were rescued by the pillar of Gyomei Himejima which cut the neck of their adversary. After the suffering and pain they went through, Shinobu and Kanae decided to become demon hunters to protect each other, as well as making sure that others did not suffer the same fate as they did. Following their success in Gyomei’s exam, they convinced him to let them meet the trainer of slayers. This is where Kanae invented her Blossom Breath.
A few days later, as demon slayers Kanae and Shinobu came across one of the men who was leading a small girl by rope. Kanae, despite Shinobu’s annoyance, decided to take the girl with her. They decided to chat with him, however he just dismissed them rudely. Shinobu was throwing money in the air and as the man tried to retrieve it the girls grabbed her and took the girl towards Butterfly Manor. The sisters took the girl back to their home and cleaned her, and, after giving Kanao the title Kanao she made the decision to make her the tsuguko. Since Kanao was unable to make her own choices, Kanae gave her a coin to flip each time she had to make an option.
A few years prior to the events in the Manga, Kanae engaged in a battle with Upper Rank Two Douma and was fatally wounded in the process. Douma was determined to devour her, but he didn’t have the time as it was getting to dawn, and the slayer was forced to leave. As she slowly sank into Shinobu’s arms Kanae begged her sister to quit the ranks of demon slayers and lead in peace. However, she soon became aware that Shinobu was determined to take revenge. Kanae recounts the demon she faced before she eventually passes away.
