Water Breathing is one of the main and most prominent branches of Breathing in Kimetsu no Yaiba. There are some demon slayers who use the breath style to fight demons.
Guess who they are? Come on, check out the full review below!
1. Sakonji Urokodaki
Sakonji Urokodaki is a former Air Hashira as well as the mentor of talented demon hunters, such as Giyu Tomioka and Tanjiro Kamado. He is always seen wearing a tengu mask which is his trademark.
When he was still active as a demon slayer, Urokodaki captured the Hand Demon and imprisoned him on Mount Fujikasane. The incident made the demon obsessed with revenge and killed Urokodaki's apprentices in the selection exam.
2. Giyu Tomioka
Giyu Tomioka is one of the Hashira who is very strong in battle. He has a great service in the lives of Tanjiro and Nezuko. Thanks to his help, the two of them were able to meet Urokodaki.
In terms of ability, Giyu is very good at using Water Breathing. He even developed an eleventh technique called Nagi – Naori Hatō. He was involved in fierce battles against high-level demons, such as Akaza and Muzan.
3. Sabito
Sabito is a apprentice of Urokodaki who died during the demon slayer entrance exam. He is depicted as a young boy with a scar across his cheek area. In addition, he is a friend of Giyu.
Interestingly, the spirit of Sabito helped Tanjiro during the final training. Sabito gives some important advice to Tanjiro. Thanks to Sabito's help, Tanjiro was able to cut a giant boulder with his sword.
4. Makamo
Just like Sabito, Makamo is one of Urokodaki's appretinces who died while taking the demon slayer entrance exam. She has a sweet and gentle face. In addition, she looks very close to Sabito.
Makamo's spirit also helped Tanjiro who was training at that time. She corrects every mistake in Tanjiro's moves. Unlike Sabito, she spoke so quietly that it made Tanjiro blush for a moment.
5. Murata
Murata first appeared in a fight against a demon on Mount Natagumo. Even though he is only a side character, he often appears in various occasions. He is also good friends with Tanjiro.
Unexpectedly, Murata was Giyu and Sabito's friend in the past. In addition, he belongs to the users of Water Breathing. Even so, his ability is very much different from Giyu.
6. Tanjiro Kamado
Tanjiro decides to become a demon hunter so he can protect Nezuko and turn her back into a human. He also trained hard under the guidance of Sakonji Urokodaki.
Tanjiro does have talent as a demon slayer. He is highly skilled in fighting and uses Water Breathing. Nonetheless, he gradually began to realize that he was more suited to using the Sun Breathing.
7. Aoi Kanzaki
In the Second Fanbook, Aoi Kenzaki is described as a Water Breathing's user. However, her fighting abilities are not clearly shown in the story. She admits that he was just lucky to pass the demon slayer selection.
Aoi was originally very afraid to fight against demons. Instead, she preferred to help the injured demon slayers in Butterfly Mansion. She is often involved in funny moments with Tanjiro and his friends.
