| abstract | - Yuto Amakawa(天河 優人Amakawa Yūto) is the protagonist of the series. He is the sole descendant of the Amakawa Family(天河家Amakawa Ke, ranked #6), one of the 12 Demon Slayer families who had fought and slain Ayakashi for hundreds of years. His parents died in a car crash when he was eight years old and he fell into a deep depression when he arrived in Takamiya until Rinko helped him out of it. He also has a terrible cat allergy, which would cause his eyes to water and his nose to run as well as causing him to sneeze uncontrollably whenever he's near one (i.e. Himari, with her human form being the only exception). He is a friendly and caring guy, but he can be uncomfortable and nervous in perverted situations or harem acts. He is also afraid of cliffs and he doesn't like to climb trees, which resulted from his childhood when he tried to climb a tree to get to Himari only for him to fall each time and when he fell from a cliff one night during his walk home, at which he suffered some physical trauma after Himari passed out using her demon powers to call for help. Yuto spent most of his childhood with his grandparents in Noihara Village (now called Noihara City after revisiting his grandparents' home), where he used to play with Himari (as a white cat) all the time and had a very close relationship with her. He also had a close friendship with Kuesu Jinguji, who would later be his fiancée. However, due to the amount of magic in the amulet that his grandmother gave to him (an omamori), most of his childhood memories were erased, though they were later regained after his visit to his grandparents' home and his reunion with Kuesu. Upon learning that he is a Demon Slayer, he becomes hesitant in fighting Ayakashi, believing that he could somehow try to make peace with them, but after he witnesses Himari's demon side in Noihara and on Christmas Eve followed by Shuten-dōji's and Tama's appearance, he soon realizes that he needs to start fighting to preserve his way of peace. As a descendant of the Amakawa Family, Yuto has the power of the Light Ferry(光渡しhikari-watashi), an ability that imbues ordinary objects (such as a pole or twig) with light-based energy, turning them into powerful melee weapons equivalent to that of a legendary blade. He can also imbue other weapons, shield himself from harm, and enhance his physical senses with it. One instance is when he imbued Himari's Yasutsuna to defeat Shuten-dōji. He can also use it to trap other enemies as well, as explained by Hitsugi, once doing so against Tesuma. In order to control the Light Ferry, Yuto must keep a calm mind and have good composure. Prior to having some control over it, the Light Ferry ability only emerged when Yuto was in a near-death situation. In the anime, the Light Ferry is portrayed as a golden disk of light. Although the Amakawa Family is a higher-ranking family, they were not well-liked by the other Demon Slayer families due to their association with Ayakashi. In addition, the Light Ferry power has only been descended to the male half of the family. The kanji for "heaven"(天ten) is used in his family name, in reference to his family's ability.
