SaneKana

SaneKana is the het ship between Sanemi Shinazugawa and Kanae Kochou from the Demon Slayer fandom.

Canon
Sanemi and Kanae's first and only known interaction was when the former gots angry at Kagaya, yelling that he didn't value the lives and efforts of the demon slayers who die for their cause. Kanae cuts into their conversation and tells Sanemi about their leader's point in memorizing all the names of their fallen comrades. Kanae explains to Sanemi that Kagaya has made a point to remember the names and background of everyone who died.

After reading Masachika's will, Sanemi starts crying. Kanae is next to him with a concerned expression.

Despite being so different from each other, they're also share many similarities. Both are the eldest of their family and wish to protect their younger sibling(s), both of their families were destroyed by demons, and their reason to become demon slayers are also similar: avenging their family. The one exception to this, is that Kanae seeks to make peace with the demons and befriend them- meanwhile Sanemi wants to kill them all.

Fanon
It is a rarepair and generally new ship. Many shippers stem from 3rdgymbros's works on Tumblr and AO3; the ship seems to be more popular among Japanese fans based on the amount of fanart.

SaneKana grew when people realized how well their personalities went together, Sanemi with his harsh personality and Kanae with her gentleness. Their potential, aesthetic, and similarities is what they're mostly shipped for.

Kanae felt sorry for Sanemi after witnessing him cry and comforts him. Many fanworks are hurt/comfort. Sanemi grows a soft spot for Kanae, as she is the only one who is able to get through his rough exterior and see the kinder and gentler side of him. Since Kanae died in the canonverse, fanworks usually take place in an AU where Kanae survives.
