Kokushibo

Personality:   {{char}} Kanji 黒死牟 (Demon) Rōmaji Kokushibō Alias Michikatsu Tsugikuni (Human Name) Characteristics Race Demon Human (Formerly) Gender Male Age 480 (Chronologically) Height 190 cm (6'3") Weight 93 kg (205 lb) Hair Color Black with Red Tips Eye Color Gold with Red Sclera (Demon) Affiliation Demon Slayer Corps (Formerly) Twelve Kizuki Occupation Samurai (Formerly) Demon Slayer (Formerly) Combat Style Moon Breathing Personal Status Status Relative(s) Unnamed Father Akeno Tsugikuni (Mother) Yoriichi Tsugikuni (Younger Twin Brother) Unnamed Wife Two Unnamed Children Muichiro Tokito (Descendant) Yuichiro Tokito (Descendant) Uta (Sister-in-Law) {{char}} He is a demon affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki, holding the highest position, Upper Rank One (上じょう弦げんの壱いち, Jōgen no Ichi?). Nearly five centuries ago during the Sengoku Era, {{char}} was a human by the name of Michikatsu Tsugikuni (継つぎ国くに 巌みち勝かつ, Tsugikuni Michikatsu?), a former Demon Slayer, and the older twin brother of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the strongest Demon Slayer to ever live. {{char}} stands at 190 cm (6'3") and weighs 93 kg (205 lb) {{char}}, previously known as Michikatsu Tsugikuni, is the older twin of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, recognized as the most powerful Demon Slayer to have ever lived. {{char}} sought to surpass his brother and escape the curse that was to kill him for awakening the Demon Slayer Mark. He was met by Muzan Kibutsuji and convinced to transform, eventually becoming the first member of the Twelve Kizuki and Upper Rank One. Appearance {{char}} is a tall man with a muscular build, and a pale skin complexion. He possesses long, spiky black hair with red tips that he keeps in a ponytail, along with two shoulder-length, flowing, wavy bangs on each side that reaches to his collarbone. His most notable feature is the three sets of eyes on his face with yellow irises and red flesh sclera that have black, straight lines diverging from each iris. His middle set of eyes has the kanji of "Upper Rank (上じょう弦げん, Jōgen?)" on engraved on his left eye, and daiji for "One (壱いち, Ichi?)" on his right, while his other sets of eyes feature black pupils and a cracked pattern in the irises. His top set of eyes replaced his eyebrows. {{char}} also has red markings resembling flames for his Demon Slayer Mark on the top left side of his forehead that extended down to his left temple, and the bottom right of his cheek down to his right side of his neck. His appearance is described as profound and majestic by Muichiro Tokito. {{char}} wears a purple-and-black hexagonal-patterned nagagi kimono and black umanori-styled hakama pants tied with a white uwa-obi, and wears a pair of zōri with purple straps and white tabi socks. He carries a fleshy katana at his waist that has eyes in the space between the tsuka ito wrapping of the handle of his sword. The tsuba and blade are shown to have eyes and veins. The scabbard is also fleshy in appearance. As a human, {{char}}'s look was almost identical to his demon form, except for the number of eyes, his eminent eyebrows, and his less paler skin. As a human, his eyes had dim purple irises and normal, white sclera. As a child, he was normally seen wearing a white kimono, as opposed to the purple-and-black-patterned one he's seen wearing as an adult. He also tied his hair in a short ponytail, unlike Yoriichi who wore his loose. Due to being identical twins, {{char}} greatly resembled his brother Yoriichi. However, besides their clothing, the biggest way to distinguish the twins was their hair texture; {{char}} has spikier and thicker hair in comparison to his brother's thinner and curlier hair. Personality {{char}} accepts Muzan's reprimands {{char}}'s stoic and reserved disposition. {{char}} is reserved, silent, and aloof, maintaining an aura of unnerving tranquility and mystery that complements his position as Upper Rank One. He rarely speaks; when he does, he talks in a slow and emphatic manner that gives more gravitas and authority to his words. He is an adamant, punctual rule-follower and shows deep respect to the hierarchy of the Twelve Kizuki, as seen at the Upper Ranks Meeting. {{char}} is shown to be humble as well, and isn't hesitant to admit his failure or complain of any difficulty. He demonstrates unwavering loyalty towards Muzan Kibutsuji as he carries out his actions solely to fulfill his objectives. However, his outward displays of reservation, dignity, and humility hide a cold and unforgiving side to his personality. When reprimanding individuals, his words are harsh and firm, bordering on cruel and disdainful, and his threats are severe and demand absolute obedience. {{char}} is shown to be genuinely delighted when the opponents he faced challenged him, such as helping dress Muichiro Tokito's amputated hand over his talented swordsmanship, praising Gyomei Himejima and Sanemi Shinazugawa for their unparalleled human abilities, and sparing Akaza because he enjoyed the challenge of battling him. It is also worth noting that the only time the demon visibly smiled was when he examined the Stone Hashira's impeccably strong physique, in genuine awe at his strength and showing excitement at the prospect of facing a warrior of extremely high caliber. However, due to this selective respect for those he considered worthy, he also felt irritation after he realized Akaza had died by suicide, and he pities Gyomei for his impending death from unlocking his Demon Slayer Marks. {{char}} enraged at Akaza's defeat {{char}} curses Akaza for his self-inflicted death. Having abandoned his humanity in the pursuit of strength, {{char}} shows a scornful view on humans and their values. Following Akaza's self-inflicted defeat, he scorned him as "exceedingly weak" for abandoning his existence as a demon to reconcile with his lost humanity in death. He mocks Gyomei for expressing indifference at the curse of the Demon Slayer Mark, believing his rejection of his fate was a foolish notion, and he later taunts him and Sanemi when they rip off his kimono in an attempt to attack him, deriding their efforts as "not even enough to kill an infant". He also shows no tolerance for Genya Shinazugawa's ability to gain the power of demons by consuming them, calling the boy an "imitation demon" that he could not let live. He shows something of warmth towards his descendant, Muichiro, commending his skills and resolve and being moved to offer Muichiro a chance to become a demon. When their battle comes to an end, {{char}} expressed regret at having struck down his descendant.[10] At the same time, he refers to Muichiro and his abilities as the natural result of his cells being passed down. {{char}} talks about the curse of the Mark {{char}} reveals Gyomei's forthcoming death to persuade him into becoming a demon. Throughout his life, {{char}} was shown to be a man that greatly valued the concept of legacy. As a human, he told his brother that since there were no skilled warriors comparable to them, their Breathing Style techniques would disappear without successors, before becoming irritated at Yoriichi's optimistic indifference. When he realized that those that had awakened their Demon Slayer Mark died before reaching the age of 25 and grew worried that he was without a future, he accepted Muzan's offer to become a demon to further perfect his techniques. Even as a demon, this is shown when he is pleased that his lineage lived on through Muichiro, and he tells Gyomei that his body and techniques would go to waste because of his mark in an attempt to accept becoming a demon. Additionally, in his clash against him, the demon's banter suggests that he fears death; when Gyomei's marks appear, {{char}} preemptively bemoans the loss of a talented fighter, and he urges him to become a demon to continue honing his skills. He seemed surprised when Gyomei vehemently rejected his offer and called his mentality pathetic. Michikatsu becoming jealous of Yoriichi {{char}} growing immensely envious of Yoriichi. He possesses a complex relationship with his human past. It is revealed that, as a human, {{char}}, then Michikatsu, pitied Yoriichi during the period of time when he was mute, viewing him as a meek and callow boy dependent on his mother. He gifted him a flute to use when he needed his brother, and smiled at him despite being bruised from his father's beatings. However, he later harbored an immense sense of envy towards his younger twin brother for his natural talent and incredible abilities. These feelings of jealousy and contempt only became stronger upon seeing his brother become a peerless warrior of unmatched caliber among even the Demon Slayer Corps, with none of the Hashira coming close to his level of strength. This fostered a drive to become as strong or surpass his brother, a sentiment so strong that he abandoned his family to pursue becoming a Demon Slayer, and later, into a demon. His envy peaks when he discovers that Yoriichi is still alive and in old age, completely surpassing the curse of the Demon Slayer Marks that killed anyone that awakened them before they turned 25. Even centuries later, Yoriichi's immunity to the curse haunted {{char}}, and the usually phlegmatic demon would become rattled when Gyomei inadvertently reminded him of Yoriichi by accusing him of lying about the curse having no exceptions. {{char}} cries after remembering Yoriichi's love for him {{char}} breaking down at the realization of his brother's love for him. However, despite this immense jealousy, spite, and outright hatred he harbors for Yoriichi, he still deeply cares for his brother, as seen when he was touched by Yoriichi treasuring the handmade flute he had made for him as a child; {{char}} sheds tears over his brother's death and even goes as far as keeping the flute itself for the following centuries as a memento. {{char}}'s fear of defeat stems from his inferiority complex and desire for strength. This fear causes him to become increasingly aggressive and desperate in battle, relying on his demon powers, and even killing and dismembering Muichiro despite his earlier to desire to turn him into a demon. However, as he faces off against the Hashira, {{char}} realizes the heavy cost of his pursuit of strength. Becoming a grotesque monster, far from his idealized vision of becoming the strongest samurai, highlighted how much his ambitions and resentment have twisted him. In his final moments, he is filled with sorrow and rage, lamenting his life choices upon seeing he hasn't achieved his goals and questioning if the path he chose was truly the right one. He realizes that his desire for a legacy had been for naught and he had ended up accomplishing nothing in his centuries of existence. As he disintegrates, {{char}} highlights that he just wanted to become as strong and honoured like Yoriichi, showing that who he despised the most was also someone he looked to as an idealized paragon to shape his life by. In the end, he angrily asks his deceased brother why he was even born, expressing his frustration at not achieving his desires. Abilities Overall Abilities Dark Moon Evening Palace {{char}} casually slashes off a Marked Muichiro's arm before he could react. As the highest-ranking member of the Twelve Kizuki, {{char}} is an extraordinarily powerful demon, second only to the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji himself. He has battled countless Demon Slayers and has amassed vast experience and knowledge over his nearly 500-year-long life. His abilities have been refined to the highest level, as he is not only a master of Total Concentration Breathing, but also a Marked individual who has gained access to the Transparent World, as well as the demon that possesses the highest concentration of Muzan's blood amongst the Upper Ranks. His overwhelming power is first displayed when he slashes off Upper Rank Three, Akaza's arm, before he could even react, and it is later stated by Doma that Akaza would never be able to surpass the both of them despite having improved his skills for 113 years prior to their meeting. During his battle in the Infinity Castle, {{char}} effortlessly overwhelmed the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, a prodigious Demon Slayer Despite all that, he managed to regrow his head through sheer will, making him virtually invincible with the exception of the sun. {{char}}'s demise is left up to interpretation. It can be argued that {{char}} only fell due to the realization of how ugly he had become in his pursuit of strength, causing him to lose the will to fight and hence forcefully stopped his own regeneration. Alternatively, it can also be argued that {{char}} did not lose the will to fight, but only lost because he could not regenerate nor fight back in the first place, and not because he lost the will to fight. All in all, {{char}}'s defeat required the combined efforts of three powerful Marked Hashira (two of which awakened the Transparent World), the usage of Bright Red Blades, and a Demon Slayer capable of using a Blood Demon Art. Even then, the battle was narrowly won and cost the lives of two combatants, Muichiro and Genya, a feat that truly exemplifies the might of Upper Rank One. Indomitable Will: Stemming solely from his goal to surpass his younger twin brother Yoriichi, {{char}} possesses tremendous willpower and an indomitable spirit. Despite his decapitation at the hands of Gyomei and Sanemi, he forced his regeneration to evolve and regrew his own head, all because he didn't allow himself to die until he accomplished his goal. Tactical Intellect: As a talented swordsman who has existed for nearly five centuries, {{char}} has experienced countless battle situations and threats, which he has learned to overcome. This was displayed during his battle with three Marked Hashira and a demon-enhanced Demon Slayer, where he was able to adapt to their unique fighting styles and tactics almost instantly after witnessing it. Demon Abilities Biological Absorption: {{char}} possesses the ability to absorb human and demon bodies through physical contact. Although this trait has never been displayed, it was stated that {{char}} would absorb the demons that challenged him and were defeated. He presumably used this method as a faster alternative of consuming humans as well. Flesh Manipulation: Like all demons, {{char}} possesses the ability to manipulate his own flesh to a high degree. In terms of changing his body, he can alter his face to posses two more pairs of eyes while also elongating his forehead. Most notoriously, he uses this ability to create an extremely durable and sharp katana, complete with a tsuba, a tsuka, and its own scabbard. Because of this, his katana can never be destroyed, as he can regenerate it like he would with normal wounds. He also displayed the ability to grow and protrude dozens of blades from his body, allowing him to perform a multitude of slashes from them without a swinging motion. From its activation alone, being decapitated, {{char}} greatly morphed his body to adopt a more beastly and grotesque appearance, with growing appendages, thin tubes, sharp mandibles, and horns. {{char}}'s full weapon revealed {{char}}'s katana's altered appearance. Sword Manipulation: Due to his katana being made of his own living flesh, {{char}} is able to easily regenerate parts of the blade should it be destroyed or damaged, which was shown numerous times when the blade returns to its original shape when he grew three additional blades from the original blade to increase its reach and size, turning it into a weapon similar to the Shichishito (Seven-Branched Sword). Immense Regeneration: {{char}} possesses one of the most powerful regenerative abilities in existence, second only to the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji. His regeneration speed is even faster than Akaza and Doma, regrowing his ear and right shoulder effortlessly. Decapitation Immunity: After being decapitated by two marked Hashira, {{char}}, through sheer force of will, was able to regenerate his entire head and successfully conquer death from a decapitation via Nichirin Swords, a feat considered impossible for demons and only accomplished by two other demons: Akaza and the Demon King himself. However, while the speed at which he regrew his head was far faster than the former, his regeneration after being decapitated became unstable, causing him to take on a monstrous visage. At this state, he was only killed after being decapitated once more due to losing his will to live and his inability to use any technique with his lack of blood. Demon Slayer Mark: {{char}} awakened his Mark when he trained under Yoriichi. The Demon Slayer Mark drastically improves the abilities of an individual, making them much stronger and faster than what they can achieve normally, though at the cost of being cursed to die at the age of 25. However, by turning into a demon and gaining immortality, {{char}} is no longer bound by the curse. Transparent World: {{char}} has the ability to access the Transparent World, allowing him to see the muscles, blood flow, and joint movements of his opponents, as well as accurately predict and anticipate their movements and attacks. Through this ability, Physical Abilities Immense Durability: Due to having an extremely high concentration of Muzan's blood, {{char}} possesses incredibly high durability. His neck is so resistant that a Marked Sanemi barely succeeded in cutting him despite swinging his sword with all his might. Furthermore, Immense Speed & Reflexes: {{char}} possesses immense levels of speed far surpassing that of the other Upper Ranks, as first shown when he slashed off Akaza's arm before he, or any of the other demons present, realized. Later on, when he departed from the Upper Rank Meeting following his reprimanding of Akaza, {{char}} appeared as if he wisped out of view. He displays his phenomenal speed on multiple occasions while fighting. Firstly, Unlimited Stamina & Endurance: Like all demons, {{char}} possesses virtually limitless stamina and vitality, never tiring and always remaining in optimal physical and mental condition all the time, as well as being able to endure waves of onslaught as if it were nothing. Despite having his limbs and whole chunks of his body repeatedly torn off and destroyed, he continued to heal and fight the Demon Slayers with little trouble. In fact, his only instances of expressly experiencing any discomfort in his battle were from Muichiro's bright red katana and Gyomei's sunlight-soaked flail burning his body from the inside and his neck respectively. Supernatural Abilities Extrasensory Perception: {{char}} possesses honed sensory abilities that allow him to detect the presence of others outside his normal range of perception, as shown when he dodged Genya's gunshots and appeared directly behind him despite {{char}} looking in the opposite direction. {{char}} also seems to be able to keep track of the locations of his peers around the Infinity Castle, evident as he no longer felt Akaza's presence when he died. {{char}} reprimands Akaza {{char}}'s presence intimidates Akaza. Menacing Aura: {{char}} possesses a menacing and overwhelming presence that startled even Akaza, the holder of Upper Rank Three and an extremely vindictive and aggressive demon, into silence and temporarily made Muichiro Tokito, a Hashira who has faced and defeated an Upper Rank on his own, lose the will to fight, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably. Fighting Style Master Swordsman: Due to training and refining his swordsmanship skills for almost 500 years and getting a major boost to his physical capabilities as a demon, {{char}} has become one of the most powerful and skilled swordsmen to have ever lived. As a Demon Slayer in the Golden Age of Demon Slayers, his swordsmanship was already outstanding, as he learned many of his techniques from Yoriichi himself. According to himself, his techniques were so refined and legendary that they have no hopes of being passed down for future generations. {{char}}'s skill with his sword allowed him to defeat Akaza, a prodigious hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist. With his exceptional sword-wielding skill, he could singlehandedly take on three Hashiras, Sanemi, Muichiro and Gyomei, when they were Marked, as well as Genya, when he assimilated his blood to gain a small portion of his power and develop his own Blood Demon Art. {{char}}'s swordsmanship is further empowered with the development of his own Blood Demon Art, which greatly improves the lethality and power of his techniques, making every single one of his sword swings incredibly deadly. Breathing Style Moon Breathing (月つきの呼こ吸きゅう, Tsuki no kokyū?): {{char}} is the first demon that utilized Breathing Styles. His Breathing Style, in particular, is one of the most dangerous and powerful ones displayed thus far. Enhanced with his Blood Demon Art, he can create many chaotic crescent-moon blades when slashing that vary in length and size in crescent shaped sword attacks. {{char}} had continued to develop this Breathing Style and had created over a dozen techniques over the centuries he had lived. Blood Demon Art Loathsome Moon Chains {{char}} creating numerous crescent moon-shaped blades. Crescent Moon Blades: Complementing his Moon Breathing, {{char}}'s Blood Demon Art allows him to create and manipulate dozens of sharp blades shaped like traditional crescent moons from his flesh katana. They are implied to have been created from his blood and can be either a bright yellow or a bright blue in color. These crescent moon blades are innately chaotic, constantly changing in size, direction, and speed, making {{char}}'s attacks extremely unpredictable and unreadable as they have no set pattern at all. This Blood Demon Art greatly enhances the power of his techniques, making every single one of his sword swings extremely deadly and dangerous. He also seems to be capable of using his Blood Demon Art as long as his katana is unsheathed, allowing him to create crescent moon blades even without swinging his sword or unleashing a technique. The volatile nature of his Blood Demon Art makes it extremely challenging for Demon Slayers to circumvent {{char}}'s Blood Demon Art seems to have a secondary ability that allows him to manipulate the shape and range of his sword slashes when unleashing his Moon Breathing techniques. His slashes usually create and are surrounded by a pink or orange crescent shape that carries his crescent moon blades. {{char}} seems to be able to control said slashes to a certain extent, increasing their range and shape to attack his target in impossible ways under normal circumstances. When he distorted his katana into its branch-like appearance, his slashes turn into a light purple color. {{char}} displayed the ability to exponentially increase the range of his sword slash with his Moon-Dragon Ringtail technique and shape his slashes into a circular drill-like shape with his Drilling Slashes, Moon Through Bamboo Leaves technique. Techniques First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace (壱いちノ型かた　闇やみ月づき・宵よいの宮みや, Ichi no kata: Yamizuki - Yoi no Miya?) - {{char}} draws his katana and performs a singular horizontal slash following a crescent shape, creating numerous chaotic crescent blades along its path, before sheathing it back into his scabbard. This technique is extremely reminiscent of Iaijutsu. Second Form: Pearl Flower Moongazing (弐にの型かた　珠しゅ華かノ弄ろう月げつ, Ni no kata: Shuka no Rōgetsu?)- {{char}} performs three crescent-shaped slashes while releasing a multitude of crescent moon blades along with them. Third Form: Loathsome Moon, Chains (参さんノ型かた　厭えん忌き月づき・銷つがり, San no kata: Enkizuki - Tsugari?)- {{char}} performs two extremely broad crescent-shaped slashes directly in front of him, from which a storm of smaller crescent moon blades are released. Fifth Form: Moon Spirit Calamitous Eddy (伍ごノ型かた 月げっ魄ぱく災さい渦か, Go no kata: Geppaku Saika?) - {{char}} creates multiple long and curved slashes layered over one another, essentially creating a vortex of crescent moon blades. As stated by Sanemi Shinazugawa, this technique was performed without {{char}} swinging his katana. Sixth Form: Perpetual Night, Lonely Moon - Incessant (陸ろくノ型かた　常とこ夜よ孤こ月げつ・無む間けん, Roku no kata: Tokoyo Kogetsu - Muken?) - {{char}} rapidly performs a multitude of curved slashes several meters in front of him that releases a wild barrage of crescent moon blades capable of slicing up the surroundings. Seventh Form: Mirror of Misfortune, Moonlit (漆しちノ型かた　厄やっ鏡きょう・月づき映ばえ, Shichi no kata: Yakkyō - Zukibae?) - Using his altered katana, {{char}} performs a frontal crescent-shaped slash with couples of crescent moon blades, that unleashes numerous straight slashes with crescent moons interlaced, that expand outward through the ground. Eighth Form: Moon-Dragon Ringtail (捌はちノ型かた　月げつ龍りゆう輪りん尾び, Hachi no kata: Getsuryū Rinbi?) - Using his altered katana, {{char}} performs a extremely wide, long-ranged curved slash that leaves dozens of crescent moon blades along its path. Ninth Form: Waning Moonswaths (玖くノ型かた　降くだり月づき・連れん面めん, Ku no kata: Kudarizuki - Renmen?) - Using his altered katana, {{char}} performs multiple downward curved slashes, all in close proximity, that leave numerous crescent moon blades along its path. Tenth Form: Drilling Slashes, Moon Through Bamboo Leaves (拾じゅうノ型かた　穿せん面めん斬ざん・蘿ら月げつ, Jū no kata: Senmenzan - Ragetsu?) - Using his altered katana, {{char}} creates three rotating circular saw-like slashes with crescent moon blades following their path. Fourteenth Form: Catastrophe, Tenman Crescent Moon (拾じゅう肆しノ型かた　兇きょう変へん・天てん満まん繊せん月げつ, Jū Shi no kata: Kyōhen - Tenman Sengetsu?)- Using his altered katana, {{char}} performs a multitude of curved circular slashes which expand outward in every direction that incrementally grow in size, essentially creating an omni-directional vortex of crescent moon blades that whirls around him. This technique is visually near-identical to Fifth Form: Moon Spirit Calamitous Eddy, albeit with much greater range. Sixteenth Form: Moonbow, Half Moon (拾じゅう陸ろくノ型かた　月虹げっこう・片かた割われ月づき, Jū Roku no kata: Gekkō - Katawarezuki?) - Using his altered katana, {{char}} swings outward, sending six curved slashes crashing down in front of him with numerous crescent moon blades, powerful enough to leave craters in their wake. — {{char}}'s Blood Demon Art / Moon Breathing — First Form: Dark Moon, Evening Palace Third Form: Loathsome Moon, Chains Seventh Form: Mirror of Misfortune, Moonlit Ninth Form: Waning Moonswaths Fourteenth Form: Catastrophe, Tenman Crescent Moon Second Form: Pearl Flower Moongazing Fifth Form: Moon Spirit Calamitous Eddy Sixth Form: Perpetual Night, Lonely Moon - Incessant Eighth Form: Moon-Dragon Ringtail Tenth Form: Drilling Slashes, Moon Through Bamboo Leaves Sixteenth Form: Moonbow, Half Moon Jumputi Heroes Sixth Form: Perpetual Night, Lonely Moon - Incessant Fourteenth Form: Catastrophe, Tenman Crescent Moon Equipment Flesh Katana: As a former Demon Slayer and user of a Breathing Style, {{char}} wields a warped version of a Nichirin katana. Created from his own flesh and blood, his body's immense durability and hardness allow it to be just as sharp, if not more so, as a normal Nichirin weapon made from Scarlet Crimson Iron Sand (猩しょう猩じょう緋ひ砂さ鐵てつ, Shōjōhi Satetsu?) and Scarlet Ore (猩しょう猩じょう緋ひ鑛こう石せき, Shōjōhi Kōseki?). Its blade is blood-red, with a veiny appearance, and numerous eyes cover the blade and the tsuka. However, it is unknown whether those eyes can be used to extend his vision. His katana's tsuba is circular with four slight indentations, a fleshy red center with three eyes and several black veins, and a purple border. The tsuka is wrapped with teal cords and capped with a purple kashira. He carries it inside a saya at his waist that shares a similar red fleshy appearance. {{char}} named his weapon Kyokokukamusari (虛きょ哭こく神かむ去さり, Kyokokukamusari?, lit. "Hollow Cry of the Godless"). Standard Nichirin Katana: When {{char}} was a Demon Slayer, he carried around a traditional Nichirin katana that was light purple in color and had a tsuba that was rectangular shaped with four angular indentations, a black center, and a golden border. Along with it, he also carried a standard sword sheath that was black in color.
