In the anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba," the official beauty, Shinobu Kocho (voiced by Saori Hayami), whispers in the ear of the serious Tanjiro Kamado (voiced by Natsuki Hanae), causing even the stoic Tanjiro to blush. Viewers, seeing Tanjiro get so close to Shinobu that they might kiss, even began to feel a pang of jealousy.

In episode 24 of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Tanjiro Kamado, Unwavering Resolve Arc", a conversation between Shinobu, the "Insect Pillar" of the Demon Slayer Corps, and Tanjiro was depicted. When Tanjiro was meditating alone, he heard a voice saying "hello" from somewhere. When he opened his eyes, Shinobu's face was so close that he could almost kiss her... Shinobu whispered "You're doing great" into his ear and even the usually composed Tanjiro blushed.
