Daki is the Upper Moon Rank Six in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. She is one of the main characters and villains in the Entertainment District Arc in the Demon Slayer Series.

Daki is very proud, uncaring, and cruel. She liked to play with her victims before killing them, and she didn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt or remorse for killing people with no emotion.

Who’s Daki’s Brother?

Gyutaro, the other Upper Moon Rank Six Demon, is Daki’s Brother. Daki loved her brother when she was a human, as much as she went ahead and stabbed a samurai when he made fun of her brother.

But we see that when they both were demons, they didn’t get along well. They frequently argued during the battle that took place in Entertainment District Arc.

Are Daki and Gyutaro Siblings?

Yes, Daki is the younger sister of Gyutaro. But it is unclear that they had the same father. Daki’s mother worked as a prostitute. So, it is possible that Gyutaro could be the son of one of her customers and Daki from other customers.

It is unclear in the Manga and Anime.

Who Defeated Daki and Gyutaro?

Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu and, the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui combined their strength to kill Daki and Gyutaro.

Daki and Gyutaro were the Upper Moon Rank Six. They were compelling with a lot of skills. The major problem with killing them was that you couldn’t slay only one of them. They would die only if both of them were decapicated.

During the fight, Daki was decapicated multiple times. But she always attached her head back because Gyutaro wasn’t dead yet.

Which Hashira Did Daki Kill?

It is not explicitily told which Hashira Daki killed during her life as a Demon. But from all the facts from the Manga and Anime, it is said that she fought, killed, and ate seven Hashira over the years. In her most recent disguise, she joined the Kyogoku House and was known as Warabihime.

Daki always though highly of herself and thought that any demon slayer who was not a Hashira wasn’t worth her time. Over the years, she got so confident in her skills and abilities that she would disregard any Demon Slayer.

What is Daki and Gyutaro’s Backstory?

Daki was born with the name “Ume” in the Kirimise/Rashomongasi (Lowest Caste) area of the Entertainment District. This is where sick prostitutes, geishas, and oirans who could no longer work in brothels were sent to die. Her birth mother was a prostitute there. A few years earlier, she had given birth to her older brother.

One day, their mother tried to cut Ume’s hair off with a razor, but Gyutaro got angry and went on a rampage, which made their mother stop being close to her kids. Ume was mostly raised by her older brother until she was in her early teens when her mother died of syphilis, the disease for which she was named.

Gyutaro said that Ume’s face was so beautiful that even grown men and women would stop to look at it when she was a child.

All of this ended, though, when Ume stabbed a samurai customer in the eye for making fun of her brother. As punishment, she was tied down, set on fire, and left to die in a ditch. Then, her brother found her as he was coming back from collecting debts. She was barely holding on to life. When he saw that she was almost dead, he went crazy and was found by the wounded samurai Ume and the Manager of the House where she worked. They tried to kill the siblings, but Gyutaro killed them first. Gyutaro then picked up his sister’s burned body and walked around town looking for help. He eventually realised that no one would help them, no matter how hard he tried.

Daki and Gyutaro Become Demons

As Gyutaro passed out from exhaustion and pain from his wounds, Doma, who was Upper Rank Six at the time, was wandering the district looking for beautiful Geishas to eat when he saw the siblings. He felt sorry for them and said it was because he was a “nice guy” that he would turn them into demons to help. He then told them to get strong enough to be picked by Muzan Kibutsuji and become one of the Twelve Kizuki with him.

How Old Is Daki in Demon Slayer?

Daki is seen as 13 years physically old in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. But, chronologically, she is more than 120 years old. She was tall, curvy, thin, and had pale skin. Her eyes were lime green, and her eyelashes were long.

Her hair was white in the middle and turned lime green at the ends. It was pulled back into a full, long ponytail and held up by kanzashi hairpins, three on each side.

When she wasn’t pretending to be an Oiran, she had two pink flower-like demon crests on her face and wore a two-piece kimono made of pink pants with long black bows on the sides and two pink pieces of fabric that covered her chest. She wore tall sanmaiba, koma-geta, or mitsu-ashi shoes with three legs and magenta stockings with black flower patterns that went up to her thighs.

Are Daki and Ume The Same Person?

Yes. Ume is the former human name of Daki. She was born with the name “Ume” in the Entertainment District’s Kirimise/Rashomongasi (Lower Caste) neighbourhood. Sick prostitutes, geishas, and oirans who couldn’t work in brothels were put here to die.

What Was Daki’s Nickname?

Later, when she became a Demon, she joined the Kyogoku House and took the name Warabihime for her most recent ruse.

Who Is Stronger Daki or Gyutaro?

Gyutaro is definitely stronger than Daki. During the fight with Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu and the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui, Daki was decapitated multiple times. But Gyutaro was decapitated only once.

Even, Gyutaro had a lot more skills that could even harm a Hashira. But, this is just my personal say on this matter.
