Appearance

Extremely toned and athletic, he has large muscles on his body, especially his stomach. Inosuke is usually seen without a shirt and wearing only a loose-fitting hakama robe. He has large, dark animal fur wrapped around his legs. His arm bandages are attached to his sandals by what appears to be a knee-length, fluffy mask that reveals his feet and legs.
However, he has a pretty face and feminine features, in contrast to his figure. A childlike face with thin eyebrows, nose, and lips. He has long, thick eyelashes that cover his large eyes with purple irises decorated with jade. He has long, black hair that fades to a dark ocean blue that falls to his shoulders.

Covering his face, he is usually seen wearing a distinct hollow gray boar's head, customized to allow the user to see while wearing it. The skin detached from a boar, Inosuke does not seem to like his pretty features, and sports the boar's head most often even when he is sleeping. This is the story of the mother boar who raised him, and he names her the "Lord of the Mountains." Because of this, kind people who saw him after a long time since training and ordinary people who saw him instantly mistook him for a beast.

Additionally, deer fur wraps around the neck and bear fur wraps around the knees.
His weapon of choice is a sword seized from another soldier. To Inosuke himself, it is not a sword, although the shade is the same as a general's sword in white. There is no handguard, the hilt is plain and covered with Sarashi cloth, and in several places, the sword is chipped. He himself, however, states, "It possesses a sharpness that can tear." You can use its serrated blade to cut like a saw. At Nada Spider Mountain, both swords were shattered by the physical strength of the Spider Demon Father.

Personality

Inosuke is a proud and short-tempered young man. Having been raised by wild boars, Inosuke has shown to possess little understanding of human interaction. With a low tolerance for patience, he comes across as aggressive towards both enemies and allies. He constantly wants to challenge most people he meets, even provoking Tanjiro Kamado to fight him in order to test his skills. [Giyu Tomioka]/otapedia/anime/kimetsu_no_yaiba_demon_slayer/giyu_tomioka) the water pillar has to literally tie him up after the fight with the Spider Demon Father, to prevent him from challenging him.

This abrasive personality gradually changes as he spends time with his companions, influenced by Tanjiro's kindness and generosity. He develops a sense of friendship with Zenitsu and Tanjiro, and recognizes the strength of others. Inosuke is increasingly influenced, learning to strategize during battles and use clever tactics he learned from more experienced Demon Slayers.

SKILLS

Enhanced Sense of Touch - Growing up in the mountains, Inosuke developed a keen sense of touch that is sensitive to his surroundings. In hostile situations, it can be used to pinpoint the exact locations from which others are looking at him. Even able to sense small vibrations in the air, this ability gives him an advantage during combat.
Flexible - He is very flexible and can bend backward until his head reaches his feet. He is also able to dislocate his joints to further stretch his limbs in combat.
Poison Resistance – To some extent, Inosuke is able to resist and survive the effects of Upper Moon Six's poison. However, this also means that Shinobu Kocho's medicine will not work on him.
Beast Breath - (獣の呼吸) A form of Total Concentration Breathing unique to him and his creator, developed while living in the mountains. One of the techniques he uses is spatial awareness, where he can identify the position of enemies by sensing small disturbances in the air.
