Kagaya Ubuyashiki, known as Oyakata-sama or Lord Oyakata, is a prominent character in the anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba, serving as both the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps and the 95th in his family line.

What is Lord Oyakata’s backstory?

The Kagaya family was living a happy life until they were cursed, which caused their children to be weak and have a lifespan of less than 30 years. Some children would die instantly or have very little time left to live. However, girls from the clan could be saved if they married a boy from another clan and took on their surname at the age of 13. Following the curse, Kagaya’s father committed suicide when he was 19 years old, unable to bear the loss of his children. Kagaya’s siblings had also died when he was only four years old, making him the head of the family.

Why is Lord Oyakata’s family cursed?

The Kagaya and Muzan families share the same lineage, which means that their bloodlines are connected. However, the birth of monsters like Muzan cursed the Kagaya family, causing its members to have weak immune systems. Muzan’s own health and illnesses serve as evidence of this curse. Nevertheless, he was able to make the Kagaya family’s gene pool slightly stronger by following the advice of a priest and marrying the recommended wife. Unfortunately, the curse continues to worsen, causing Kagaya to slowly lose his eyesight and experience rotting and growths throughout his body.

Who is Oyakata’s wife?

She first met Kagaya when she was 17 years old, and he was only 13. The priest selected her to marry Kagaya, who was the leader of the Demon Slayers, and the marriage was also for medical reasons.
