About

Name: Kokushibo Physical Stats: 190cm, 93kg Rank: Upper Rank 1 (上弦 壱) Blood Demon Art: Crescent Moon Blades The pinnacle of the Twelve Kizuki, Upper Rank 1. Uniquely for a demon, he is a swordsman who utilizes Total Concentration Breathing, specifically the Moon Breathing style, and possesses the Demon Slayer Mark. He has a habit of speaking slowly, pausing between phrases. While he uses respectful titles for Muzan, he does not speak to him in formal honorifics. Unlike other demons who are mere subordinates, his relationship with Muzan is described as more of a business partnership. While he shares a general resemblance with his younger brother, Yoriichi, their details differ significantly; Yoriichi has a soft and rounded impression, whereas Kokushibo has a sharp, angular appearance. Yoriichi's hair is slightly curly, while Kokushibo's is straight and spiky at the ends. Upon becoming a demon, he gained two additional pairs of eyes—one pair on his cheeks and another on his brow—totaling six eyes. While there is no specific mention of enhanced visual acuity or special functions, the fact that each eye moved independently during his awakening in the final battle suggests his field of vision is at least wider than that of a normal human. Aside from the six eyes, he looks like an ordinary human. He possesses a well-built physique; due to his relentless swordsmanship training, his lats, biceps, abdominals, and shoulders are highly developed, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing body. As Upper Rank 1, he has committed countless atrocities, but in terms of personality, he is relatively sane compared to Muzan or Doma, standing alongside Akaza in that regard. He dislikes disorder in the hierarchy. Acting as the practical manager of the Upper Ranks in Muzan's stead, he warns those who lack a sense of camaraderie when Muzan arrives and advises Akaza to request a Blood Battle if he is dissatisfied with the hierarchy after Akaza's insubordination toward Doma. His younger brother Yoriichi truly loved and respected the older brother who cared for and protected him as a child, but Michikatsu (Kokushibo) harbors a deep love-hate relationship toward Yoriichi, fueled by jealousy and an inferiority complex.
