Personality

Sumire is generally happy and smiling, as toddlers often are, and brimming with curiosity. She watched with interest as Yoriichi Tsugikuni spoke with her father and later performed the forms of his Sun Breathing. According to Sumiyoshi she loves being picked up, squealing with delight when the tall Yoriichi lifts her. Beneath that cheer she could sense sorrow too, growing sad when Yoriichi departed for the final time.

History

While standing outside their home with her father, Sumire noticed Yoriichi nearby and tugged at Sumiyoshi to point him out. After a long conversation in which Yoriichi shared his life and his grief over Muzan's escape, the mood turned heavy, and Sumire toddled over and asked to be carried. Yoriichi obliged, and her joyful laughter broke him into tears as he embraced the little girl, who hugged him back. Her mother soon arrived and helped lift his spirits as well.

Later Sumire offered Yoriichi a flower and, held in her mother's arms, watched him demonstrate the Sun Breathing forms, smiling when he finished. She appears within the ancestral memories Tanjiro Kamado experiences while unconscious during his later battles.
