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 got angry at Kagaya, accusing the their leader that he didn't value the lives and efforts of the demon slayers who die for their cause. Kanae cuts into Sanemi's outburst and tells the latter about their leader's point in memorizing all of the names and backgrounds of their fallen comrades. She is notably one of the only pillars that are not angry with Sanemi's rudeness, and the only one to speak up.

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

Despite being so vastly different from each other, they 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 reasons to become demon slayers are also similar: avenging their family. The one exception to this is that while Kanae seeks to make peace with the demons and befriend them- Sanemi is hellbent on eliminating all demons.

Fanon
It is a rare-pair and generally new ship. Many shippers stem from |3rdgymbros' works on Tumblr and AO3; the ship have more popularity among Japanese fans based on the amount of fanworks.

SaneKana started 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 canon-verse, fan-works usually take place in an AU where Kanae survives.
