CHARACTER INTRODUCTION:

" 我是。。。Keiko。。。你呢？ " [ “I am… Keiko… and you…?” ]

Keiko Hasegawa is the Breathless Hashira. She uses brass knuckles and her cool ahh black leather boot heels to kill demons as her main weapon! Keiko rarely speaks, but if she does, her voice remains a whisper.

Her hair pin acts as an additional weapon if needed, but she likes to keep it on. Her hair pin was carefully crafted by Weihao since he enjoys decorative glassmaking. Some of her other jewellery was gifted by Suma, Hinatsuru, and Makio. Uzui paid for most of the jewellery his wives bought.

Keiko’s colleagues often associate her with a black cat, wide eyes that stare into the void… if she had cat ears, it would perk up when happy!

Keiko enjoys head pats. It’s the only place she enjoys being touched on. The rest of her body doesn’t like being held or hugged. Oh, and Uzui and Weihao are the same age.

Cw: angst, slight mentions if gr00ming, and keiran under the picture below—

Keiko’s backstory

BONUS CHARACTER INTRODUCRION:

“The Savior” Keiran is a demon. Using his appearance to trick others into joining his sanctuary, he often appears as an angel with a beautiful face and wings. He lures his victims in by welcoming them after a traumatic event and then eating them when they feel a sense of security within his cult. If you’re not so lucky, he’ll keep you alive for his own benefits… that is if his “friend” isn’t here.

Keiko and her younger brother— Lin— was brought under “The Saviour”’s wing after their parents and elder sister was killed by two demons. Two years after the incident, Lin was found with a disease that was incredibly painful. In order to prevent more pain from being experienced, “The Saviour” suggested that Keiko end Lin’s suffering by feeding him poison and stabbing the side of his neck. Naively, Keiko did so.

While this was all occurring, “The Saviour” became closer and closer to Keiko— a bond that was almost obsessive was created. Keiran loved her a lot… platonically at least. (That’s what he said).

At the age of 14, Keiko was pulled to the brink of depression. Relying on her only source of comfort and only “family” member, her “Saviour”. He’d taken care of her since she was young, so possibly there was nothing wrong with him discussing about his… private life with her. Every little detail was shared, none gone to waste.

When she felt something was incredibly off or when the manipulation and abuse of the cult got worse, Keiko ran away after she was nearly eaten by her “Saviour”. Perhaps she was at fault.

Keiko was saved by Weihao and Suma during a patrol in a nearby forest. The poor girl was washed up by a river when she had fallen in and nearly drowned. She was brought into the Uzui household and was well taken care of.

Perhaps she’s at fault for what had happened in the sanctuary.

Remember to eat, sleep, drink, and take care of yourselves lil’ kitsunes~ 💖💖 REBLOGS ARE APPRECIATED <33

Attack on Titan OC #1: The Fury Titan

Name: Miles Rex

Name Meaning: ~ Miles: "Soldier" or "Gracious, Merciful" ~ Rex: "King" ~ Combined: "Soldier King" or "Merciful King"

Age: 10 (Fall of Shiganshina), 15 (Battle of Trost), 19 (Assault on Liberio)

Gender: Cis Male (He/Him)

Sexuality: Omnisexual (Female Lean)

Family: ~ Max Rex (Biological Father, Deceased) ~ Alexandra Rex (Mother, Deceased) ~ Hannes (Adopted Father, Alive) ~ Iris Rex (Older Sister, Alive) ~ Leo Rex (Twin Brother, Alive)

Love Interests: ~ Mikasa Ackerman (Unrequited Childhood Crush, outgrown) ~ Marco Bodt (Fling during the Cadet Corps) ~ Sasha Braus (Main LI) ~ Historia Reiss (Backup LI) ~ Your OC (if you want)

Religion: Atheistic

Known Languages: Eldian

Physical Description: Miles is fairly short at 5'2 (157 cm) with a lean, athletic build. He's rather tanned from his time outdoors and has freckles along his nose, cheeks, arms, and shoulders. His shaggy brown hair falls to about the nape of his neck, so he tends to tie it up out of his face, revealing his pale eyes, though loose strands still tend to fall around the sides.

Outfit: Miles wears the standard military uniform, with the white shirt and pants, knee-high brown boots, and brown jacket with the Scout Regiment's insignia on the arms and back. While out on expeditions, he wears a green hooded cloak with the Scouts' insignia on the back. He also wears his mother's silver ring on his right hand's middle finger.

Personality: Miles is a man of extremes and contradictions, a living paradox. Outwardly, he's cheerful, laidback, and quick with a quip, always ready to lighten the mood with his infectious smile and playful antics. He embraces life with a devil-may-care attitude, throwing himself headfirst into danger with a confidence that borders on recklessness. His adaptive mind and lowered pain sensitivity make him seem almost invincible—a man who laughs in the face of fear and shrugs off physical pain like it's nothing.

Beneath this carefree facade, however, lies a fierce and deeply emotional core. Miles is driven by an intense, unwavering love for his family—both biological and chosen—that shapes every aspect of his being. He claims he only cares about his loved ones and that the rest of humanity is meaningless to him, yet his actions often betray a broader sense of empathy and justice. He's the first to call out superiors for treating soldiers as disposable, even willing to risk his life or career to defend the dignity and value of those around him.

This duality defines Miles: he's capable of unimaginable violence when it comes to protecting the people he loves, yet he's also the one who insists on the inherent worth of every human life. His empathy runs so deep that it sometimes feels like a contradiction—how can someone so willing to shed blood also fight so hard for peace? But for Miles, there is no contradiction at all; his capacity for violence comes not from violence but from love, an unrelenting drive to shield those he holds dear from harm.

Voice Claim: Robbie Daymond

Powers: Miles gets his powers in Season 2, where the potent mix of his rage and protective nature created the perfect brewing ground to draw in the Fury Titan to offer its power. Forging the pact, Miles's protective rage opened the door to several abilities so long as he was in this rageful state: ~ Increased Strength: Similar to the Titans, Miles's strength becomes disproportionate to his weight or size. He also gets faster, but this is just because of the increased strength in his leg muscles. ~ Regeneration: Like other Titan Shifters, Miles can regenerate from his wounds. Unlike other Titan Shifters, however, this regeneration is restricted to only when he's channeling the Titan's power via his enraged state. ~ Altered Skeletal Structure: Mile's bones have been altered. Most of his bones are hollow, making him lighter, though key parts of his body have denser bones to help with shock absorption and structural integrity. ~ Titan Transformation: Miles can fully transform into the Fury Titan, granted he's in his enraged state that channels its power and he's injured in a way that triggers the transformation like the other Shifters. The Fury Titan is shorter than most of the other Titan Shifters, being only 10 meters in comparison to the ~14/15 meters of the Attack Titan, Female Titan, Armored Titan, etc. It shares his long, wild hair, but its eyes burn more of an orangeish-reddish color like fire. This Titan's two most notable traits are the leathery wings on its back and the fact that it's capable of breathing fire via a combination of glands in its throat that produce a combustible gas, which is then ignited with friction. ~ Fear: The Pure Titans seem to panic at the sight of the Fury Titan, and the Titan Shifters, regardless of if they're in their human or titan forms, feel a sense of danger by being near him.

Backstory: Miles Rex was born as the older of a set of twins in Shiganshina, a town in the south end of Wall Maria. Miles was a part of one of the poorest families in Shiganshina, along with his sickly twin brother Leo, their older sister Iris, and their parents. This life of poverty, coupled with Leo's sickly nature, meant Miles quickly learned to be quick on his feet and good with his hands. He got good at parkour, using the terrain to get around Shiganshina quick and to escape soldiers and angry merchants from whom he'd stolen food to feed himself and Leo.

Their already harsh life only got worse when the twins were seven years old. Their mother, a soldier in the Scout Regiment, died during an expedition beyond the walls. For all her bravery and sacrifice, the Scouts' mission yielded no results, and her death became just another statistic in a string of doomed operations. To Miles, her death marked the beginning of his anger toward the systems in place—the people in power who sent good men and women to die without a second thought.

The following year, the family's struggles took an even darker turn. Their father, a kind but exhausted man who worked tirelessly to support his children, was stabbed to death in what was likely a robbery gone wrong. It was Miles who stumbled upon the aftermath, the sight of his father lying lifeless into a pool of his own blood seared into his memory. His screams brought Leo and Iris running, and the image of the three siblings huddled together in that dimly lit alley remains a haunting chapter in their family's story.

When the Rex children turned to the Military Police Regiment for justice, they were met with indifference. Their father's death was deemed insignificant compared to other matters, and the investigation into his murder was half-hearted to put it generously. The culprit was never found, and Miles learned a bitter lesson: those who claimed to protect and serve cared little for the powerless and the poor. This experience planted the seeds of Miles's deep-seated distrust and disdain for the Military Police, a sentiment that would only grow as he aged.

The siblings found themselves on the verge of being separated. Iris, Leo, and Miles prepared themselves for the harsh reality of being sent to different homes—or worse, becoming homeless entirely. However, Hannes, a soldier in the Garrison Regiment who had become something of a mentor to Iris after she also joined the Garrison, stepped in to take them in.

Living with Hannes was far from conventional. The man was laidback to the point of irresponsibility, with a fondness for drinking that rivaled his dedication to his duties. He often treated life as one big joke, teaching the siblings that laughter was the best way to survive a cruel world. While this attitude clashed with Iris's natural sense of responsibility and only deepened Leo's quiet introspection, it resonated deeply with Miles.

Under Hannes's roof, Miles grew into his devil-may-care persona, embracing his adoptive father's irreverence toward authority and laidback approach to life. However, unlike Hannes, who was content with doing the bare minimum, Miles's experience with hardship gave him a fire that couldn't be extinguished. Where Hannes numbed with frustrations with booze and jokes, Miles channeled his emotions into action—sometimes reckless, sometimes heroic, but always driven by his fierce desire to protect the people he cared about.

Hannes's influence wasn't entirely positive, though. While his humor and relaxed demeanor helped Miles cope with his traumas, it also emboldened him to lash out against anyone who threatened or insulted his family, especially Leo. Miles, already protective by nature, developed a habit of getting into fights with anyone who so much as looked at his sickly brother the wrong way. Whether it was kids in the neighborhood mocking Leo's frailty or grown men trying to take advantage of the siblings' poverty, Miles rarely hesitated to throw a punch or two.

Hannes, while not a strict disciplinarian by any means, occasionally tried to rein Miles in. But his own penchant for cutting corners and avoiding serious conflict meant his attempts were half-hearted at best. If anything, Hannes often ended up laughing off Miles's antics, unintentionally encouraging the boy's brash tendencies.

Everything changed with the sound of thunder. A Titan large enough to peer over the walls appeared and kicked the gate in, allowing the Titans to flood into Shiganshina. Wall Maria was lost, and humanity fled behind Wall Rose. But things didn't change much for the siblings. Sure, they'd been relocated to Trost, but their situation remained the same. Food had always been scarce for them. The only difference is that everyone else was clawing, scratching, and biting for survival right alongside them. While the world was suddenly thrust into chaos, it was business as usual for the Rex family.

Two years later, Miles joined the 104th Cadet Corps, vowing to follow in his mother's footsteps as a Scout. Leo accompanied him, promising himself that he would join Iris in the Garrison.

Other Info: ~ Miles almost exclusively uses nicknames for others. It's to the point that he even uses the nicknames when relaying info to superiors, when using actual names would be more efficient. Leo is honestly convinced that Miles straight-up doesn't know anyone's name. ~ Miles consistently acts as if superiors in the military equals. To Miles, rank is meaningless, your respect is earned through action, and poor decisions can cost you his respect. He flat-out states that Fitz Woermann and Nile Dok are bad leaders undeserving of their positions and that he thinks the common idea of the "greater good" is a delusion that weak leaders tell themselves to justify their cruel orders.

SSPEDCCIAL Stats

So going forward, I'm going to include a part in all of my forms dedicated to the characters' "SSPEDCCIAL Stats," a set of ten stats that describe how strong or weak they are in certain tasks according to a value out of 10. This post is me describing what these ten stats are for.

STRENGTH: This is a very self-explanatory stat. How strong is the OC? A 1/10 means they are weak as shit, probably can't even bend a piece of paper. A 10/10 means they are fucking Saitama.

SOUL: This is the magic stat. It describes how powerful of a mage the OC is. A 1/10 means they can't use magic at all. A 10/10 means they're goddamn omnipotent.

PERCEPTION: This is how easily the OC notices details, whether it's in the environment or the people around them. 1/10 means they're blind as a bat, 10/10 means they have eyes on the back of their head, sides, top, and everywhere else you can imagine.

ENDURANCE: This is how much physical punishment they can take before they're out for the count. 1/10 means a stiff wind is enough to knock them on their ass, 10/10 means they're a goddamn brick wall.

DEXTERITY: This is how handy they are, how good is the OC with their hands? 1/10 means that they should be kept far away from a set of tools forever for the safety of both themselves and everyone around, 10/10 means they are literally Hephaestus, God of Blacksmiths.

CONSTITUTION: This is the mental equivalent of Endurance. How quickly can they bounce back from disturbing or demoralizing events? 1/10 means the smallest inconvenience is enough to break their goddamn mind, 10/10 means they are literally immune to psychological torment.

CHARISMA: This is the social stat. How well do people like them? 1/10 means that even casual conversations are the most infuriating thing in the world, 10/10 means manipulation is fucking child's play to them.

INTELLIGENCE: This is self-explanatory. How smart is your OC? This can be book-smarts, street-smarts, tactical knowledge, etc. 1/10 means calling them dumber than a brick is actually pretty accurate, 10/10 means they are literally omniscient.

AGILITY: How agile is your OC? 1/10 means they trip over flat surfaces, 10/10 means their balance is fucking unbelievable.

LUCK: How lucky or unlucky is your OC? 1/10 means they've crossed black cat, walked under a ladder, and broken like fifty mirrors in the past hour, 10/10 means they are the four-leafed clover.

[stronkkronk16]

I fucking love cringe OCs. When you stop being a judgmental lil bitch and start just having fun, it is so goddamn freeing. The half-demon edgelord with the darkest backstory conceivable is just so much more fun. My OCs being strong and cool is the point; I am doing this to have fun. If your OC is just anime af, I know you had so much fun creating them, and the RP is going to be so awesome!

Like, an OC doesn't have to be realistic. It's not more cringe because both are considered cringe, you're not better than someone else because your OC is realistic because people think that Roleplaying, outside of gaming and sex, is cringe, you're not winning anyone over with more realistic OCs.

And that's not to say that your OC being more realistic is bad, we make OCs how we like, OCs in general are awesome just by their existence. I'm not saying you're a loser for making realistic OCs. I'm saying you're a loser if you look down on people who make OCs that operate more on the Rule of Cool than in reality.

Together, it could mean "True Leader." ~ Taketa: A combination of 武 (take), meaning "Martial, Military," and 田 (da), meaning "Field, Rice Paddy."

Known Languages: Japanese

Breathing Styles: Water Breathing (with his main sword, a wakizashi), Insect Breathing (with his offhand sword, a rapier)

Physical Description: Shinji stands at an average height of 5'7" (170 cm) with a lean, yet athletic, build from his rigorous training, highlighting his reliance of agility over raw strength. He has short, raven hair that often becomes tousled in the wind or in fights. He has a fair complexion, a balance between his time training in the sun and his time indoors helping out in his father's ramen shop.

Voice Claim: Haley Joel Osment

(Credit to @batgoat_solos on tiktok for the edit)

Weapons: ~ Primary Sword: Shinji's primary sword is a Nichirin Wakizashi. Being a wakizashi, it is fairly short, the blade being only 45 cm (~18 inches). The blade is dark blue to signify his use of Water Breathing. It also has a subtle ripple pattern along the blade, barely noticeable until it catches the light. Near the handle, the kanji 理想の自分 (Risō no Jibun), translating to "Ideal Self," are engraved into the blade in dark green writing. The guard is silver, accented with a dark blue wave pattern. The handle is a deep, oceanic blue and has a green wrapping, evoking the image of sea foam, ending with a cap with a water droplet engraved on it. To top it off, his sword has a dark blue sheath. ~ Secondary Sword: Shinji's offhand sword is a Nichirin Rapier. It is shorter than his wakizashi, the blade being on 94 cm (37 inches). The blade is lavender-blue to signify his use of Insect Breathing. It has a pattern along the blade that resembles butterfly wings. Near the guard, the kanji 慈 (ji), meaning "mercy," is engraved into the blade in yellow writing. The tip has a sharp, precise point meant to administer the poison. It has a silver cup guard adorned with lavender-blue wisteria flower designs. Inside the cup is where he inserts the vials of his poison for his blade tip to inject into his target. The silver crossguard extends horizontally and curves upward, ending in small, leaf-like designs. The knuckleguard extends smoothly from the crossguard, with the shape of a delicate vine curling around the pommel. The lavender-blue grip is wrapped in a dark green cloth. The pommel is a small, lavender-blue orb with a wisteria flower pattern.

Personality: If you were to describe Shinji in a single word, you'd probably choose "kind." In another? "Respectful." To a fault. Shinji's dream has always been to simply help in any way he can. Some would call him naive or soft, but he's just empathetic, even if some people receiving his empathy are arguably undeserving of it. Shinji is the type of guy to give you the shirt off his back if you ask for it, always making sure those around him are okay before he even thinks about indulging himself. And he's respectful to everyone he comes across, whether human or demon, a fact that confuses and frustrates many of his comrades.

SSPEDCCIAL Stats: ~ Strength: 5/10 ~ Soul: 1/10 ~ Perception: 8/10 ~ Endurance: 7/10 ~ Dexterity: 7/10 ~ Constitution: 7/10 ~ Charisma: 6/10 ~ Intelligence: 5/10 ~ Agility: 5/10 ~ Luck: 1/10

Backstory: Shinji was born the second son of Ryohei and Yuki Takeda, seven years younger than his brother, Katsu. While Katsu was spirited and restless, eager to explore and test his strength, Shinji grew up in a gentler world, one filled with warmth and simplicity. His parents taught him to be kind and respectful, values instilled in him not just in words but in the life they led every day at the family ramen shop. The shop's doors were always open to travelers, villagers, and even the less fortunate, and Shinji grew up watching his parents treat each customer with patience and understanding. The teachings of compassion and respect shaped him deeply, giving him a natural empathy that softened his presence.

When Shinji was still young, he began hearing whispers about the demon slayers, warriors who stood against creatures of darkness to protect humanity. To him, they were almost mythical, figures of bravery he could scarcely imagine. Katsu shared some stories when he could, though he was often vague, perhaps to shield his younger brother from fear. Shinji grew up with admiration for the demon slayers, but also a quiet respect for the fear that accompanied their dangerous lives.

As he got older, Shinji spent his days helping at the ramen shop, mastering small tasks and carrying bowls to guests with quiet pride. His parents spoke of discipline and dedication as sacred qualities, whether one was slicing noodles or, as Shinji would later learn, wielding a blade. When Katsu departed for his own journey to become a demon slayer, Shinji was on the verge of adolescence. Though his heart ached at the thought of his brother facing such risks, he took Katsu’s departure as inspiration. He decided that he, too, would prepare himself for a path of purpose and selflessness.

Shinji took up sword training shortly after, feeling the weight of steel as more than just a weapon but as a promise—a way to protect and serve. His progress was steady, and soon after Katsu went to Final Selection, Shinji had his first experience facing a demon. His weapon was Shinobu’s poison, a tool given to him by a mentor who recognized his quiet diligence. The encounter was brutal and unforgiving, yet it awakened something profound within him. The demon’s destruction was a victory, but he couldn’t shake the thought of the suffering involved—for both the demon and anyone affected by their attacks. This drove Shinji to study medicine, learning from any healer who would share their knowledge, hoping he could one day reduce the pain his poisons inflicted.

His experiments with anesthetics became an almost spiritual practice, an expression of his commitment to his parents' teachings. Yet, despite his quiet nature and focus on mercy, Shinji’s resolve only grew stronger. He refused to let any demon harm his loved ones or the people he’d sworn to protect.

The ultimate test of his resolve came when a band of demons descended upon his village. Shinji, barely more than a novice, stood in their path. He was alone, a single swordsman defending countless innocent lives, yet he held firm, fending off the attack with every ounce of skill he possessed. When the battle was over, and the quiet returned to the streets, he found his parents safe, their shop untouched. Relief filled him, and he realized he had been waiting for this moment—not to prove his strength but to feel that he was truly able to protect.

When Mitsuri Kanroji, the nearest Hashira, arrived soon after, she observed his work with admiration. She praised his technique and recognized the quiet skill and determination he displayed. Smiling, she placed a hand on his shoulder and told him he was ready—that he had earned the chance to prove himself at Final Selection. For Shinji, her words felt like an affirmation of all the beliefs he held dear, a validation of his compassion, courage, and readiness to step into the world of the demon slayers.

Other Info

~ His family's ramen shop was popular among the Hashiras and they would always make a habit of visiting for a meal whenever they were in the village, especially Kanroji and Rengoku.

~ Shinji's family has always been deeply involved in the Demon Slayer Corps. His father was a demon slayer who used Wind Breathing, his mother was a demon slayer who used Thunder Breathing, and his maternal grandmother is a former Hashira.

~ The first time Shinji killed a demon with Shinobu Kocho's wisteria poison, he broke down in tears when he saw how painful it was for the demon, crying and apologizing. This startled and confused Shinobu and Kanao, and was also the catalyst for his decision to study medicine so he could modify the poison to be less painful.

~ While Shinji grew up, he became quite skilled at painting, and he would often paint portraits that depicted a lone warrior in samurai armor and a kasa: a brave man with the strength to protect the innocent, Shinji's ideal self. When he became a demon slayer, he modeled his appearance after this ideal self.

~ Shinji hardly ever takes off his oni mask. Aside from his family, the only people who have seen it are Aoi, Kiyo, Naho, and Sumi when they would treat his wounds at the Butterfly Mansion.

Creator Note: I promise that dual-wielding swords and the integration of samurai armor is not going to be a running theme, Shinji is the last one with samurai armor, and Katsu technically doesn't dual-wield his multiple swords. You'll see what I mean when I get around to posting him.

Breathing Styles: Demon Breathing (initially, self-made), Water Breathing (learned later)

Physical Description: Kaito is a large young man, standing at 5'11 with a toned, muscular build from his days in the forge. Before his transformation, he had pale skin, a stark contrast to his fiery red hair and dark brown eyes. After his transformation, his skin turned a sickly green color, his eyes turned blood-red, and his hair turned bleach white with red tips, although the red is now more akin to blood than fire.

The kanji 悪魔を受け入れろ (Embrace the Demon) are printed on the blade in sickly green writing. The red handle and black guard are both from the katana that his father used when he was a samurai, and the blue wrapping is actually a scarf that Akira frequently wore. ~ Secondary Sword: Another nichirin sword katana with a 30 in blade. This katana's blade is actually dark blue, symbolizing his eventual use of Water Breathing. The kanji 血よりも (More Than My Blood) are printed on the blade in crimson writing. The white handle, black wrapping, and gold guard are all from the first sword he ever forged under Akira.

SSPEDCCIAL Stats: ~ Strength: 8/10 ~ Soul: 7/10 ~ Perception: 5/10 ~ Endurance: 9/10 ~ Dexterity: 6/10 ~ Constitution: 5/10 ~ Charisma: 3/10 ~ Intelligence: 4/10 ~ Agility: 5/10 ~ Luck: 4/10

Blood Demon Arts: Kaito found that just as normal demons gained more power from eating more humans, he too gained more abilities the more demons he devoured. ~ Raging Inferno: Gained in Season 1, this BDA allows Kaito to ignite his blood in a flame that burns hotter as his anger grows. ~ Infernal Afterimage: Gained in between Mugen Train and the Entertainment District Arc, this BDA allows Kaito to create a photo-negative doppelganger to find alongside him. ~ Sunlight Resistance: Not really a BDA, but at the Swordsmith Village, Kaito gains the ability to survive in sunlight. ~ Ironclad Aegis: Gained during Hashira Training, this BDA allows Kaito to use his blood to create a protective barrier. ~ Blood Dominion: Gained during the Infinity Castle Arc, this BDA allows Kaito to place some of his blood on an object, allowing him to control it. He can also "infect" living creatures with his blood and gain control of their bodies, although he'll have to worry about their will overpowering his.

Personality: Kaito has always been a hot-headed boy with a strong sense of justice. He possesses a fierce hatred toward those who harm others weaker than themselves. This anger and hatred were so strong that they were able to anchor Kaito to his humanity even through his transformation into a demon. Kaito is guarded and distrusting of others, especially other demon slayers, knowing he'd likely be killed if his true nature were discovered. Despite this, if you manage to get his trust, he is fiercely loyal and will defend you to his dying breath.

Backstory: Kaito Akuma was born the son of a former samurai named Haruto Akuma and a mother whose name Kaito never knew - she died of an illness while he was still too young to remember her, leaving him in the care of his father, who swore to protect their son with his life.

Kaito grew up in a small village at the base of a mountain, neighboring the sea. He would frequently get into fights and stand up to authority figures he didn't feel deserved their power. This strong sense of justice guided him throughout his youth until he met one woman: Akira Kurosawa, a famous blacksmith who moved to the village one day. 

Akira quickly warmed up to the Akuma family, getting quite close with Haruto and taking Kaito under her wing as an apprentice at her forge. Under her wing, Kaito grew to become a skilled blacksmith, and the raging fire within him was tempered into a more stable, controlled flame. 

Then, tragedy struck, and his name was Muzan Kibutsuji.

Kaito had been sent to a larger city nearby to get some supplies for Akira's forge. When he returned, he found Kibutsuji slaughtering Haruto and Akira. In a rage, Kaito took up his father's sword and attacked Kibutsuji. He lost.

But sensing potential in the hatred he saw in Kaito's eyes, Kibutsuji gave him a portion of his blood, just enough to begin the transformation. Kaito just barely managed to keep ahold of his humanity through his rage and hatred, but it seemed as if he had died. Disappointed, Kibutsuji moved on.

Then Kaito woke up. He had been reborn.

He was now a demon, just like many before him: an insatiable hunger, an inability to step into the sunlight without burning. But there was one fundamental difference: he did not crave human flesh. No, his tastes were more... exotic. Somehow, his rage had twisted his demonic nature in a way that nobody could have foreseen: he craved the flesh of demons.

For the next two years, Kaito spent his days in the mountains, where the sunlight could not reach him. And he trained with a sword he had forged under Akira. During this time, he also developed and mastered his own breathing style: Demon Breathing, meant to compliment his own wild fighting style. 

A change came when a demon slayer turned up one day, having heard of the demon residing in the mountain. Having now learned of the existence of the Demon Slayer Corp and of an event known as Final Selection, Kaito knocked the man out, took his nichirin sword, and made his way to Final Selection to officially become a demon slayer, hoping that it would aid him in his quest to kill the Demon King and avenge the loss of his loved ones.

Other Info:

~ Although he doesn't realize it, Kaito is actually quite popular with the ladies thanks to his good looks and mysterious persona, but he's so intimidating that nobody ever approaches him.

~ Only Kaito's offhand sword was made by a member of the Swordsmith Village. He'd actually snuck a second piece of ore out of Final Selection and use it to forge his primary sword. During the process of forging this sword, he felt as if he hands were being guided. It was like Akira's spirit was guiding him and helping him forge the sword that he would be using to avenge their deaths and protect people.

~ During the two years that he spent in the mountains, Kaito would sometimes come back down to the village at night and perform maintenance jobs around the village. Some people actually thought that it was his spirit returning to act as their guardian, especially when a few villagers reported seeing him perform those jobs. When he left the village, they took that as meaning his spirit had moved on.

~ Each time he gained a new Blood Demon Art, he also gained a new marking on his skin. Raging Inferno gave him a flame design that ran down his arms and up his neck, Infernal Afterimage gave him markings on his face that resembled an extra pair of eyes and a second mouth, his Sunlight Resistance gave him a mark on his chest that resembled the sun with other markings surrounding it for the sun's rays, Ironclad Aegis gave him markings on his sides, the back of his hands, and the back of his legs to depict him having armor, and Blood Dominion gave him markings that traced the blood vessels throughout his body.
