Inosuke Hashibira's background

Inosuke was orphaned at a tender age after his mother, Kotoha, was murdered, and he was rescued by boars who raised him as their own in the mountains. When he came of age, Inosuke joined the Demon Slayer Corps to fight the demons. He became the most potent fighter and was able to kill Doma.

Raised by wild boars, he was never exposed to humans, which resulted in a lack of social skills. However, his experiences as a Demon Slayer changed him slowly, and after witnessing their battle skills, he appreciated his fellow slayers' prowess.
