Flower Breathing: Type Six Whirling Peach

Flower Breathing - Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye

The Secret of Flower Breathing.

By applying pressure to the eyeball to maximize dynamic vision, the movement of surrounding objects in the field of vision will appear sluggish. However, due to the excessive strain during use, the eyeball may bleed and stain the sclera red, which may lead to blindness.

The Flower Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, along with her sister Shinobu Kocho Kanao Tsuyuri from human traffickers. Kanao Tsuyuri's Flower Breathing was passed down to her.

The Insect Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kanao Tsuyuri's mentor, who treated Kanao Tsuyuri like a younger sister.

The person they cared about became their spouse after the final battle, had children, and already has two great-grandchildren.

Kanao Tsuyuri was born into an extremely poor family and grew up under the cold-blooded and ruthless domestic violence of her parents. She managed to avoid being hit in vital areas thanks to her keen eyesight, but several of her siblings died directly at the hands of her parents. Because crying would result in physical abuse from her parents, she had to suppress her emotions. As time passed, she gradually became insensitive to pain and stopped expressing feelings. Even when her parents sold her to human traffickers, she felt no remorse.

While crossing the bridge, she was rescued by the Butterfly Sisters and taken back to the Butterfly Mansion to be raised. Her tragic childhood experiences left Kanao Tsuyuri completely unable to make her own decisions; even when her stomach was growling with hunger, she would simply sit still Fudō. To help Kanao Tsuyuri make decisions when she was alone, Kanae Kocho taught her to toss coins. Because of her casual approach, Shinobu Kocho scolded her, but Kanae Kocho believed that given the right opportunity, her inner self would blossom, and that Kanao Tsuyuri would change if she met a boy she liked.

Four years ago, Kanae Kocho, whom Kanao Tsuyuri regarded as her older sister, was killed by Upper Moon Two, Doma, during a mission. At Kanae Kocho's funeral, Kanao Tsuyuri guilty for not being able to cry. Shinobu, who saw through Kanao Tsuyuri's true feelings, did not blame her but comforted her instead.

Originally intended to be sent away to be adopted by others (as were the children who became orphans due to the appearance of the demon: Xiao Kui, Xiao Qing, and the others), they were ultimately kept.

While working at the Butterfly Mansion, Kanao Tsuyuri couldn't handle housework and caring for the wounded like Aoi Kanzaki and the others, so she wanted to become a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Since being adopted, Kanao has always been under protection. Although her emotional fluctuations have been minimal, witnessing the murder of her family members, Aoi and Kiyo, as well as the death of her parents, older sister, and Tsuguko, Kanao Tsuyuri's inability to forgive demons has intensified. A desire to kill demons has gradually formed within her, and she also wants to help (repay) and share some of the pain Shinobu has carried alone. In reality, Shinobu Kocho has always disapproved of Kanao Tsuyuri joining the Demon Slayer Corps. However, Kanao Tsuyuri learned the Flower Breathing simply by observing and memorizing it, and secretly went to Mount Fujikasane to participate in the Final Selection.

Ultimately, Kanao Tsuyuri, along with Tanjiro Kamado, Zenitsu Agatsuma, Inosuke Hashibira, Genya Shinazugawa, became the only five from their cohort to break through to the Final Selection. Shinobu was very worried about this, believing that Kanao Tsuyuri was not killing demons out of her own will. She could only tell her, "Don't be confused, don't think, just think about cutting off the demon's neck." After becoming a full member, Kanao Tsuyuri had already developed considerable talent and was quickly taken in as Tsuguko Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Hashira.

At Shinobu's request, he completed the "Total Concentration, Normal Focus" training.

Later, following Shinobu Kocho from her master Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Kanao went to Mount Natagumo to provide support. Upon arrival, Kanao Tsuyuri, acting on orders, directed the "Hidden" post-disaster response team to aid the wounded members in the mountains. While Shinobu Kocho was engaged in battle with Giyu Tomioka, Kanao received instructions from Shinobu to deal with Nezuko Kamado, a demon. After being repeatedly obstructed by Tanjiro, she knocked him unconscious. When she cornered Nezuko, she received instructions from Kasugai Crow, and instead arrested the Kamado siblings and sent them to Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters for trial.

While Tanjiro and the others were recuperating at the Butterfly Mansion, Kanao Tsuyuri, following Shinobu's instructions, worked with Aoi Kanzaki Tanjiro oversee their physical recovery training. During the training, Kanao Tsuyuri maintained a perfect record by mastering "Total Concentration: Constant Focus." This caused Zenitsu and Inosuke Hashibira to refuse to train anymore due to their consecutive defeats, but Tanjiro continued to challenge her relentlessly.

More than 20 days later, Kanao Tsuyuri Tanjiro, who had successfully mastered "Total Concentration - Constant Focus" during reaction training and full-body training. Because he couldn't bear to splash her, he placed a teacup on her head.

After training, Kanao Tsuyuri encountered Tanjiro, who was expressing his gratitude to her. At first, Kanao Tsuyuri simply maintained a polite smile. However, because Tanjiro was overly enthusiastic and kept talking to her, Kanao Tsuyuri had to flip a coin to decide whether to reply to him. She also kept saying "goodbye" to try to stop Tanjiro from asking any further questions.

Faced with Tanjiro's persistent questioning, Kanao Tsuyuri finally relented, revealing that she decided to handle matters outside of missions by flipping a coin. Tanjiro believed that nothing in this world was ever truly perfect. After careful consideration, Tanjiro chose to break Kanao Tsuyuri's self-imposed constraints by flipping a coin, holding her hand and asking her to listen to her inner voice and act according to her own will. Kanao Tsuyuri was initially surprised by his sudden action, but unconsciously, she was influenced by his words and began to change in a positive direction.

When the Sound Tengen Uzui, arrived at the Butterfly Mansion to capture people for an infiltration operation in the Entertainment District, Kanao Tsuyuri initially hesitated because Tengen was there on orders from his superiors. However, remembering Tanjiro's earlier words, she decided to follow her own will and held onto Tengen tightly to save Aoi Kanzaki and Naho Takada. Seeing Kanao Tsuyuri's actions, Kiyo Terauchi and Sumi Nakahara also stepped forward to grab Tengen, preventing him from leaving. After Tanjiro and the others arrived, they joined in protesting to Tengen. Ultimately, due to everyone's insistence, Tengen gave up taking Aoi and Naho with him and instead allowed Tanjiro and the other two to go to the Entertainment District with him in their place.

Two months after Tanjiro was brought back to the Butterfly Mansion for treatment, she was responsible for taking care of the Butterfly Mansion, Tanjiro remained unconscious. After discovering that Tanjiro had regained consciousness, she accidentally broke a vase and nearly burst into tears.

Kanao Tsuyuri was scolded by Goto, who had come to visit her, for sitting quietly without speaking or informing anyone that Tanjiro had woken up. She was the first to notice Tanjiro had fallen asleep again in the noisy ward and tried to quiet everyone down several times, but faced with the still noisy Himawari and Inosuke Hashibira, she finally shouted to stop them.

During her Hashira Training, Kanao Tsuyuri traveled between their residences for instruction. Kanao Tsuyuri, who was preparing to train with the Wind Pillar, visited Shinobu after hearing she had returned to the Shinobu Kocho Butterfly Mansion. She was somewhat disappointed to learn Shinobu didn't plan to participate in the training and expressed her desire to practice with her master. Shinobu was pleased that Kanao Tsuyuri was beginning to express her feelings and decided to tell her how to kill the demon that had murdered her sister, Kanae Kocho. Upon learning that her master would kill the demon through self-sacrifice, Kanao Tsuyuri deeply distressed.

Upon entering the Infinity Castle, Kanao Tsuyuri began searching for Shinobu. However, upon entering the Lotus Pond, she witnessed Kanao Tsuyuri being devoured by Doma. Driven by rage and hatred due to the deaths of her two beloved older sisters at Doma's hands, Kanao Tsuyuri immediately engaged Doma in battle within the Lotus Pond. Having noticed Shinobu's dying gesture, Kanao Tsuyuri carefully avoided inhaling the highly poisonous ice crystals generated by Doma's Blood Demon Art. Her quick reflexes and keen perception allowed her to evade Doma's attacks and swiftly deliver a fatal blow, leading Doma to believe her strength might surpass that of Shinobu Kocho.

During the battle, she contemptuously exposed Doma's emotionless nature, successfully enraging Doma. Unfortunately, it was their first real battle, and the difference in experience between them made it difficult. Doma, now serious, easily disarmed her of her Nichirin Sword. At the critical moment, she was rescued by Inosuke Hashibira, who had arrived with the Kasugai Crow. The two fought against Doma together. However, Doma's overwhelming strength and complex Frost Blood Demon Art made their battle difficult. Doma lost interest and decided not to continue fighting them. He then used his Blood Demon Art to create several "Crystalline Divine Child" to fight for him. Kanao Tsuyuri then struggled to hold off Inosuke Hashibira's "Crystalline Divine Child"Doma while waiting for the vine flower poison that Shinobu had left in Doma's body to take effect.

Finally, as Doma prepared to leave the Lotus Pond, the 700-fold lethal dose of vine flower poison he had ingested earlier began to take effect, causing his body to dissolve. Not only did his Blood Demon Art fail, but his own strength was also greatly reduced. Immediately, Kanao Tsuyuri, determined to avenge her sisters, recklessly activated her Final Form: Equinoctial Vermilion Eye, which carried the risk of blindness. She avoided Doma's hastily created "Mist Ice: Water Lily Bodhisattva" in his dying moments and, with Inosuke Hashibira's assistance, finally succeeded in severing Doma's neck.

After defeating Doma, Kanao Tsuyuri was nearly blind in her right eye, groped her way through the Lotus Pond and picked up the hair ornaments that belonged to her two older sisters, recalling their expectations of her and her companions. Finally, after the spirits of her two older sisters appeared and acknowledged her efforts all along, she could no longer suppress her emotions and burst into tears.
