Nezuko Kamado (Japanese: 竈門 禰豆子, Hepburn: Kamado Nezuko) is a fictional character in Koyoharu Gotouge's manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Nezuko and her older brother Tanjiro Kamado are the sole survivors of Muzan Kibutsuji's murder of their family, with Nezuko being transformed into a demon, but unexpectedly refusing to consume and harm humans. After an encounter with Giyu Tomioka, a demon slayer, Tanjiro begins his quest to help his sister turn back into a human and avenge the death of his family.
Nezuko's character was created to make Tanjiro's character more complex, as he is solely motivated to turn Nezuko back into a human. Nezuko received praise for her characterization as a demon and physical abilities. She has also been a popular character within the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba fanbase, appearing in an issue of the Weekly Playboy magazine.
