Makomo

Makomo is a small, pale-skinned girl with gentle deep cyan eyes whose rectangular pupils fade to a lighter turquoise near the bottom. Her black hair reaches her shoulders and spikes outward at the ends, with short micro bangs across her forehead.

She wears a red yukata dotted with pink and white flowers, topped by a dark purple sleeveless haori and a brown cloth tied at her waist, along with light brown flats. Like the other apprentices, she carries a white fox-shaped warding mask carved by Sakonji, hers marked with two blue flowers on the left side.

In contrast to Sabito's stern and aggressive manner, Makomo is quiet, patient, and kind. She constantly helps Tanjiro by pointing out flaws in his form and correcting the bad habits he develops during training. She is fond of saying how much she loves Sakonji.

She also carries an air of mystery, speaking in dreamy, abstract phrases and rarely giving direct answers about her past. Together with the other spirits of Sakonji's children, she entrusts Tanjiro with easing their foster father's grief, watching over their loved ones until their souls can finally rest.

Orphaned as a child, Makomo was taken in by Sakonji, who trained her and eventually allowed her to attempt the Final Selection. On Mt. Fujikasane she met a powerful morphed demon who boasted of devouring many of Sakonji's students. Overcome with emotion and acting without control, she attacked recklessly and was torn apart, joining the others the demon had already slain.

Unable to rest because of their failure and Sakonji's sorrow, her soul returned to Mount Sagiri. When Sakonji took in a new student, Tanjiro, she and Sabito guided him through his training. She corrected his technique and taught him more about Total Concentration Breathing, telling him to train with everything he had. After he split the great boulder and later defeated the Hand Demon, the cycle was broken, and Makomo bid him farewell before fading into the mist.
