Personality

Little of Rokuta's character is shown beyond his behaving like an ordinary small child. He clearly shares a close, loving bond with his parents and brothers and sisters.

He appears to have been especially attached to his father; after the man's passing, Nezuko notes that the boy grew lonely and clung to Tanjiro for comfort.

History

Rokuta is raised on the mountain with his mother and older siblings as the youngest son of the household. After their father dies, he struggles to sleep from loneliness, and Nezuko carries him on her back to soothe him. That same night a demon assaults the home, killing the family except for Nezuko, who is herself turned into a demon while trying to shield him.

He reappears only in visions and dreams. Nezuko pictures him during a later battle, drawing strength from the memory, and Tanjiro encounters him within the sleep-induced illusions of Lower One. When Nezuko's human memories return near the story's end, she recalls the night Muzan came and took the family's lives.
