'Demon Slayer - Infinity Castle': Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko Kamado - Meet the film's characters ahead of the release

The Japanese anime film ‘Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle’ has taken over the world with impeccable storytelling and absolute visuals, leading to its release in India on September 12, 2025.

Well, while the theatres decide to sell out with the help of numerous fans, and the authorities add new showtimes at even 5:00 a.m. (yes, you read that right), let’s take a quick look at the characters who would be slaying on the screens!

Tanjiro Kamado

The down-to-earth person who transformed into someone with raw power, where the combat breathing skills and combat performance exceeded expectations after joining the Demon Slayer Corps.

Meet Tanjiro Kamado, whose family was slaughtered by the demons, and he had to protect his sister from being taken away. Whether it’s the sheer ability to intensely fight or the vow to protect the human world from the demon infestations, Tanjiro Kamado is the one who never turns his back on the ones he loves.

Nezuko Kamado

The innocent girl was the prey of the fight, leading to her becoming a demon, meet Nezuko Kamado. While she becomes infected with a demon venom, her compassion and humanity stand strong.

After being carried around in a box, the members of the corps realise that she is immune to the sun, making the ultimate devilish demon yearn to consume her even more. With her heart in the right place, she helps the Demon Slayer Corps with her unique powers.

Zenitsu Agatsuma

The cowardly and hilarious Demon Slayer hails the title of being one of the strongest members with his thunder breathing techniques and his impeccable ability to hear.

Meet Zenitsu Agatsuma, who has vowed to avenge his mentor’s death. After yapping his way through the series, a surprise fight with a yet-to-be-revealed character is expected from him in the latter parts of the showdown.

Giyu Tomioka

The prodigy of Demon Slayer Corps who would stop at nothing to slay the demons, even if it was Nezuko. Meet Giyu Tomoika, the member who defied the protocols after watching the Kamado siblings fight for each other and connected with them.

The first Hashira to appear in the series mentors Tanjiro with his introverted personality. He has a stoic behaviour on the surface and a sense of responsibility for every member.

Inosuke Hashibira

After being raised by the boars in the mountains, the member of the Demon Slayer Corps thinks of himself as one! Meet Inosuke Hashibira, the pretty guy with a questionable mask is short-tempered but would stand with his team when he needs to protect.

With his harsh upbringing, he self-taught himself the technique to beast-breathe and sense the danger through touch.

Akaza

The antagonist who fights with bear hands without weapons, in addition to raw martial arts power, can heal himself after getting himself cut. Meet Akaza, the demon who can recognize others’ vulnerability, and compliments others while simultaneously looking down. The muscular demon was never confined to being a good human, and certainly hates weakness at his core.

Muzan Kibutsuji

The cold creator of the demons, who has lived for a thousand years and certainly wants to live more. Meet Muzan Kibutsuji, the ideally immoral demon who seeks to consume Nezuko for her power, and ruthlessly kills the families to make his empire. While the Upper Moons are busy fighting for the Corps, he has laid his moves after being out of his den. To become the perfect eternal, he seeks to wipe out every being who interferes.
