Synopsis
Final Selection Arc
Hanako and her brother, Shigeru Kamado, want to follow Tanjiro to town to sell charcoal with him. However, their mother stops them and says they would only slow Tanjiro down.
While Tanjiro is in town, Hanako and the rest of her family except for Nezuko are attacked and killed by Muzan.
After Tanjiro is knocked unconscious by Giyu Tomioka, Hanako, her deceased siblings, and her mother are seen staring at Tanjiro with worried expressions.
Entertainment District Arc
When Tanjiro fights Daki, Hanako is briefly seen begging her brother to breathe before he can exceed his life limit.
Abilities and Powers
Hanako has no abilities and powers outside of her normal human abilities.
Triviality
- The first kanji in Hanako’s name means “flower” or “blossom” (花はな Hana?). While the second kanji is a common feminine suffix, which translates to “child” (子こ ko?). The first kanji of his surname refers to a traditional Japanese wood- or coal-fired stove (竈かま Kama?), while the second kanji means “door” (門ど do?).
- The fact that his surname translates to the word for a wood-fired stove is likely a reference to his family’s occupation before their disappearance.
- Hanako shares her English voice with Makomo.
- Hanako possessed a wooden puzzle box like Kotetsu.
