At first, Saigo didn't really know what to make of Kyojuro. His bright eyes and boldness not only confused him, but disturbed him to some degree.

Kyojuro was the first one to show empathy for Saigo's trauma. Because of his name, many of the demon slayers would murmur about how he was a posh, wealthy child who had run away from home. But Kyojuro gave him the benefit of the doubt and Saigo was grateful for that.

Because of Saigo's breathing style and being a night-owl, his eyes have adapted to the dark and reflect the same way a dogs or a cats eyes would.

It's almost like an eerie glow. So you can probably imagine how terrifying it would be to see those eyes staring at you and they don't belong to a demon's haha!!

Training and the fits!! When he did officially join the Demon Slayer corp, Saigo absolutely hated the uniform. He felt like it restricted his movements, especially in the chest. To help, he adapted Sanemi's shirt style.

When he received his new outfit, which is his current one, Saigo was alright with it. The only issue being the massive kanji on the back that all the slayer have. He doesn't like it, and considers it a hindrance. So, he forced the tailor to finish the top half of his hakama so he could cover his back up.

History

Born into a wealthy household, Saigo was raised and trained by his father, Hideyoshi, who is Daimyo for a village alongside a forest/ mountain range. A mercantile town, pretty affluent and a middle between trade routes from the sea ports and further inland.

His father trained him on all accounts. Reading, writing, and handling a blade, Saigo learned from him. Due to his father’s previous experiences with combat, Saigo was a quick learner when it came to the ways of bushido. To help understand the trade routes, on his 17th and 18th year, he was privileged to sail across the ocean in his father’s stead to China and Korea. In doing so he was able to see how the products were distributed as well as properly reading and understanding manuscripts within that category. He also experienced the different trade routes within Japan as well and he met with other traders his father did business with. Saigo knew nothing about sailing or navigation and he was usually escorted, but he enjoyed the trips and he got to at least experience the culture of it all.

As he grew older, Saigo began to notice a change in his father’s behavior. A melancholy

On the eve of his nineteenth birthday, Saigo approached his father and has a long heart to heart with him. It ends with a hug and a promise to always be there for one another.

However this was only enough to appease the growing depression in Hideyoshi’s heart for a small while. As Saigo assumed some of the duties his father was originally in charge of, a growing rift between father and son was beginning to form.

One night Hideyoshi is tempted by Muzan. 

He’s more or less given the chance to be “useful” but he has to forfeit most of his control of trade

Muzan wanted to spread influence and reach out further to discover the blue spider lily perhaps in another continent 

The exchange, strength and immunity from mortality for influence, and recourses.

The desire to have a purpose was overwhelming and Hideyoshi gave in, and accepted Muzan’s offer.

Upon his return, Saigo almost immediately knew something was wrong. His father was lively yes, but he seemed bigger almost. Stronger in stature and the smell of iron (blood) was palpable on his person. Not to mention the limp from an injury so long ago was almost nonexistent as he watched his father walk.

Saigo’s suspicions only grew as his father seemed incredibly active during the night just as he was during the day. 

He approached his father and asked if he was alright and the response was a full teethed smile and a rather aggressive squeeze on his shoulder.

It did not take long for Saigo to notice that certain servants had disappeared from their household and upon further investigation, he found a very shaken maid, Hanako Nakamura, who supposedly witnessed his father devouring one of her acquaintances. 

Without any thought he tells Hanako to leave the manor at once, take all her belongings, and don’t look back.

He is awoken later that night by an audible thud and the sound of something being dragged across the floor. So he carefully slides open the door to see his father dragging a lifeless body into his study. With his heart raging in his ears, he makes his way to his father’s chamber and through the cracked door he watches in horror as his father rip the flesh from what seems to be a homeless man. 

This single interaction scared Saigo so much, that he did not sleep the rest of the night, the sounds of tearing flesh and cracking bones echoing in his ears.

The next day, Saigo flees from his home

He packs up his horse, and all he brings is his sword, food rations, and a small bag of money to start off.

He travels a while, searching for a group known as the Demon Slayers. Throughout his journey he comes to the conclusion that he must be the one to kill his father not a random slayer.

Thus begins his journey of developing his own breathing style, joining the Demon Slayer Co., killing his father, and becoming the Fang Hashira.

When initially joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Saigo was more or less reluctantly accepted by the others.

At the beginning, Tengen, Obanai, and Sanemi placed bets to see how long he'd last haha!! Weird to think that Sanemi had the least faith in him, and they ended up becoming friends lol

One of the most important things Saigo must maintain for his Fang Breathing to be effective is a flexible yet strong stance and the ability to stay firmly grounded even if the ground is not.

So, Saigo practices tai chi often, as it helps loosen him up, gets blood flowing, and above all else strengthens his form.
