Chihiro's mother remains a mystery to fans, but Kagurabachi author Takeru Hokazono has confirmed that he will introduce her.
Kagurabachi is one of the most popular new generation manga. The debut created a craze among Shonen fans and even after more than 40 chapters, the plot continues to develop strongly. Kagurabachi has an elegant, streamlined appearance with a lot of mysterious charm. There are some intense sword fights that Shonen lovers will always love.
The revenge story follows Chihiro Rokuhira, who sets out to find magical swords stolen from his late father. However, the enemies he faces are stronger than anyone he has ever fought. The manga features some interactions between Chihiro and her father, Kunishige.
However, there is no mention of Chihiro's mother. Since childhood, Chihiro's only family was her father. He was a famous swordsmith with a particularly unique method of making katana.
According to a popular Kagurabachi account on Twitter/X, “During the Japan Expo Q&A with Takeru-sensei, he was asked, ‘Where is Chihiro’s mother?’ He replied that he would write about her in a later volume. So this confirms her importance to the story.”
Fans were curious about the new character. One user wrote, “I wonder what kind of person she is. She must be a nice and kind person.”
“I think she's either one of those magic sword users or the Kamunabi director,” another commented.
Another fan also wrote, “On Reddit and 4chan people believe she is a soldier, some think she is Hishaku who appeared in chapter 2 and others think she is an Enten user, but no one considers the leader Kamunabi to be Chihiro's mother.”
