About Kimetsu no Yaiba
『鬼滅の刃』 (Kimetsu no Yaiba) is an anime based on the manga by Gotoge Koyoharu, which has been published in Shueisha’s “Jump Comics” with a total of 23 volumes and has surpassed 150 million copies in circulation. The story follows Kamado Tanjiro, a boy whose family was killed by demons, as he joins the <鬼殺隊> (Demon Slayer Corps) to turn his demonized sister, Kamado Nezuko, back into a human and throws himself into battle against demons. The poignant story of humans and demons, the breathtaking swordplay, the charming characters, and the occasionally comical scenes have made it immensely popular.
The anime, produced by ufotable, has been developing as a series starting with 『テレビアニメ「鬼滅の刃」竈門炭治郎 立志編』 (TV Anime Kimetsu no Yaiba: Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc) in April 2019. The story that follows 『テレビアニメ「鬼滅の刃」柱稽古編』 (TV Anime Kimetsu no Yaiba: Hashira Training Arc), which aired from May 2024, is depicted in 『劇場版「鬼滅の刃」無限城編』 (Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugenjo Arc), which is being produced as a three-part film series, with the first chapter set to premiere on July 18, 2025.
