(pov:kid giyuu tomiaka.)

Giyu grew up alongside his older sister, Tsutako Tomioka after the two were orphaned. When he was still a child, his sister sacrificed herself to protect him from the Demons.

After the death of Tsutako Tomiaka, Giyu tried to tell others that she was killed by a Demon, however, he was labeled as mentally ill and was sent away to one of his relatives, a doctor. Giyu ran away during the journey there and almost died on a mountain, but he was rescued by a demon hunter and became apprenticed under Sakonji Urokodaki student with sabito .

Giyu was 13 years old when he met Sabito while training under Sakonji, and they became good friends due to their similar pasts and age. And they were both training to become demon hunters Sabito was a fair-skinned young man with a large scar running from the right corner of his mouth to his right ear, and kind, cat-like eyes of a grayish lavender color, a horizontal bar of much paler purple visible across them near the bottom. He had thick, spiked, peach-colored hair of varying lengths, the longest reaching his shoulders, that he wore messily down with side micro bangs over the left of his forehead.Sabito wore a green kimono, patterned with a geometric hexagon design of yellow and a darker green, tied off at the waist with a piece of black fabric, below which he sported a pair of tattsuke-hakama pants and over which a plain white haori. Around his calves, he wore a pair of kyahan, that bore the same design as his kimono, which his pants were tucked into, as well as black tabi socks and a pair of zōri on his feet. As with the rest of Sakonji Urokodaki's apprentices, Sabito's white warding mask, hand-carved by his master himself, took the shape of a fox's face, his decorated by a large scar in the same place as the one on his face. The mask's eyes and nose were of a dark green while the ears were more of a gray-red, and it was secured around his face by a thick piece of red rope around his head, the ends of which hung down from behind each of his ears. During one occasion, Giyu slumped into an attitude of self-pity and resigned himself in death while training for Final Selection. Sabito became angry and slapped him across the face, threatening to end their friendship. He reminded Giyu to value his life as a gift from his elder sister, who had died saving him from a demon. However, Sabito then held out his hand and smiled at Giyu, affirming that they were still friends.

Sabito:"giyuu!!! don't say that! You'll live a long life! And you're going to make sure to do so, your sister didn't risk her life for you to grow up and die young! Your sister saved you You should be grateful for that. if you keep going like this, I’ll stop being friends with you!!"
