Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

The mega-hit manga and anime by Koyoharu Gotouge. Set in Taisho-era Japan, it follows Tanjiro Kamado as he joins the Demon Slayer Corps to avenge his family. Tanjiro's hometown is set near Mt. Kumotori in Chichibu — the same mountain range as Mitsumine Shrine. The shrine's wolf guardian deity (御眷属), venerated for warding off demons since the Edo period, resonates profoundly with the story's themes, drawing pilgrims from across Japan.
