The Shark Demons were two huge sharks under the command of Shiranui and one of the twelve demons that made contact with Daigo Kagemitsu. The Sharks have been revealed to be Jiromaru and Saburomaru, which have been presumed to be siblings. They were ruthless, relentless creatures, which never hesitated to devour their victims after being given the command by their master to do so. It was the demons that took Hyakkimaru's left leg.

Plot

The Shark demons took forms after Kagemitsu Daigo struck a deal with them along with 11 other demons offered his son twelve parts of the body.

Not much was known about the two sharks beforehand, but only that Shiranui witnessed them starving, and thus sacrificed his own right arm to feed the two. Since then, the sharks had developed an appetite solely on human flesh. At first, they fed on dead bodies. From there, their desire shifted to something fresher, and thus Shiranui fed live women and children to them. Soon after, their hunger became nearly-unstoppable, and as a result, massacred an entire fishing village.

Jiromaru

Jiromaru (二郎丸, Jirōmaru) is one of the sharks under Shiranui's command. Its name means "Second". Following the death of Saburomaru, in its fury and anguish, the Shark transformed into its true form after devouring the flesh of its former sibling. It tried to swallow Dororo whole but was later killed by Hyakkimaru after he arrived just in time to save him.

Saburomaru

Saburomaru (三郎丸, Saburōmaru) is another of the sharks under Shiranui's control, alongside Jiromaru. Its name means "Third". It was killed by Itachi along with his brethren when Dororo served as a bait to lure it out from the water.
