Background:

Amaya grew up with her mother(Amaterasu), father(Mamoru), older sister(Amane), older brother(Makoto), and two younger brothers(Masaru and Masaki) in a mountain home.  She enjoyed growing up surrounded by her family, and life had been relatively normal.  She wouldn’t have asked for it to change in any way, but fate had other plans.

When she was 11 years old, a demon came across her home.  Amaya was petrified as she watched the demon kill one of her family members one by one.  Just when she thought it would be the end of her life, Amane had jumped up and shielded her and Makoto from the demon.  As she cried for her sister, a demon slayer had shown up and saved the remaining siblings.  The two were led to the village at the foot of the mountain after the dead had been buried and respects had been paid.

Amaya and Makoto stayed in the village where they met two orphaned kids, Eri and Eiji Mori.  The orphaned children all stayed with an elderly woman.  However, it had taken a few months before the Kawaguchi siblings were able to settle down and get used to a life without the rest of the family.  As she grew more comfortable with her situation, Amaya began to play games with Eri and Eiji in the streets while her brother watched them.  She thought life wouldn’t change anymore after this, but her brother had other plans.

When she turned 14, Amaya learned that Makoto planned on becoming a demon slayer.  She had begged him to stay, not wanting to lose the only family she had left.  However, her pleas fell to deaf ears as her brother was set on his decision.  Makoto told Amaya to become a demon slayer and find him again, only then could they be together again.

As she watched her brother leave, Amaya made a silent vow to become a demon slayer.  She began training on her own and set out for final selection when she turned 15.  She had passed and returned to the village to tell her caretaker.  While her new found grandmother had been proud of her, Eri and Eiji were not.  The Mori siblings still offered their congratulations, however and continued to play games with Amaya until a swordsmith arrived with her Nichirin Blade.

Amaya left the village with the promise to write back to everyone she knew there, and she set out on her first assignment.  During a particular assignment, she ran into Makoto again.  She had been excited to see him again, but Makoto only had a look of horror and disgust on his face.  Her world had gone numb when her brother told her to stay away from him and that he never wanted to see her again.

Heading her own way, Amaya completed assignment after assignment for the next year.  Then one assignment brought her back to the village she had spent part of her life.  Worried, she rushed back without hesitation.  Upon arriving at the village, Amaya headed to the home where she had stayed, only to find that the elderly woman had been killed.  Filled with rage, she turned to confront the demon that had been lounging in the corner of the room.  Her rage turned to mute horror when she discovered that the demon was none other than her friend, Eri.

Amaya had hesitated, but she pushed down the feeling of dread and faced her unexpected opponent.  With a heavy heart, she struck down her demon turned friend.  Just as she thought things would settle down, the dying Eri informed her that Eiji had also become a demon and had gone to another location.  As Amaya was about to grieve for her losses, one of the villagers entered the building.  Not knowing the full story, the villagers had believed she had been the one to kill the elderly woman.

After being chased away, Amaya found herself fleeing up the mountain to the home she had lived in with her family.  She stopped to rest just outside of the home and tried to collect her thoughts.  As she was able to calm herself, she heard her kasugai crow arriving with a message: “Kawaguchi, Amaya.  You have been promoted to the rank of hashira!”

Amaya went on to complete more difficult tasks, and she met different demon slayers on the way.  However, she refused to allow herself to get close to any of them.  Whenever she felt like it was happening, she would just leave that demon slayer.  It went on for a long time, until she met a particular one that stuck out to her.

Taisho Secret(s):

Amaya has a scar on her back, but it wasn't from a battle as some newbie demon slayers have been led to believe. She got the scar from falling out of a window backwards. Shinobu was there to witness it. The other hashira are aware of how it happened, but most of them(except Shinobu and Himejima) tell some convoluted story of how it happened. As a result, newbie demon slayers do not know what to believe.

The home that Amaya is currently living in is the very same one she grew up in. She chose to return and repair the place because it holds some sentimental value. That and, it is also where the rest of her family is buried.

The snowflake hairpin that Amaya wears belonged to her older sister Amane.  Amaya found it hidden behind a bookshelf while she was repairing the damages done to her home.
