Zenitsu’s parents are not extensively covered in the “Demon Slayer” series, but it is implied that they passed away when he was still young.
Zenitsu Agatsuma is a character from the popular manga and anime series “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” created by Koyoharu Gotouge. The series does not delve deeply into the backstory of every character, and Zenitsu’s parents are among those who are not given a detailed history. However, it is suggested through Zenitsu’s own accounts and the narrative that he was orphaned at a young age.
Zenitsu’s upbringing is marked by a sense of loneliness and lack of self-confidence, which can be partly attributed to the absence of his parents. After their passing, Zenitsu was taken in by his grandfather, Jigoro Kuwajima, who was also a former Thunder Hashira. Jigoro trained Zenitsu in the way of the sword and the Thunder Breathing technique, although Zenitsu initially struggled with the training due to his lack of self-esteem and constant fear.
The lack of parental figures in Zenitsu’s life is a key factor in his character development. His fearfulness and desire for approval can be seen as a result of his early life experiences, including the loss of his parents. Throughout the series, Zenitsu’s growth as a demon slayer and as a person is portrayed, showing how he overcomes his fears and insecurities to protect those he cares about, embodying the courage and strength that he was unable to recognize in himself initially.
