Dōma

Intro Doma (童どう磨ま Dōma?) is a major supporting antagonist of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is a demon affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki, holding the second highest position, Upper Rank Two (上じょう弦げんの弐に Jōgen no Ni?). Over a century ago, Doma held the position of Upper Rank Six (上じょう弦げんの陸ろく Jōgen no Roku?), and during that tenure, he turned Gyutaro and Ume into demons and introduced them into the Twelve Kizuki. He is also the leader of the Eternal Paradise Faith, a cult dedicated to worshipping Doma and a place where he listens to all his followers' troubles and gives them advice.[8] He had held this position since he was a human child. It also acts as a place for Doma to gather and kill his victims. This cult also took in Inosuke Hashibira's mother, Kotoha Hashibira, before Doma killed her after finding out that he was eating his followers. Doma is outwardly friendly and cheery, possessing an approachable and charismatic air. Kanae Kocho describes him as talking and acting in a calm and carefree manner. However, it is soon revealed that Doma has psychopathic tendencies. He adopts sick beliefs and habits, such as devouring his cult's followers with the belief he is saving them from their suffering and pain. He believes he is saving them from their suffering by letting them live inside his body. Because of his carefree and waggish persona, he was prone to facetious and inappropriate behavior. Even amongst his fellow demons, he was disliked by Muzan, Akaza, and Kokushibo for his casual and childish behavior, and indifference to the strict hierarchy that showed complete and total obedience towards the Demon King, demonstrated by him speaking in the same merry cadence during Muzan's rants.
