Muichiro Tokito

Name

Muichiro Tokito

Appearance

Muichiro is a boy of fair skin complexion, short stature, and a lean muscular build, along with long straight hair of a raven-black color that fades to a cyan color as it approaches his waist. He wears his hair loose with two clumps protruding slightly from each side of his head, a set of marginally shorter hair left down to frame his face, and unruly bangs over his forehead. He also possesses large, empty-looking cyan eyes. He is identical in appearance to his older twin brother Yuichiro.Following his meeting with Tanjiro Kamado, and the return of his childhood memories, Muichiro's once empty looking eyes seem to now have a hopeful glimmer that is accompanied with a more upbeat and cheery expression, reminiscent of his former demeanor before the death of Yuichiro.Muichiro wears a black standard Demon Slayer uniform, tinted bluish black in the anime, consisting of a button-up jacket with a stand collar. However, he wears longer, looser sleeves that are more reminiscent of those of a kimono than of the standard uniform shirt-like cuff sleeves. Along with this, in the place of the standard tattsuke hakama wrapped by a pair of white kyahan around his calves, he wears his hakama in the umanori style, that along his style of sleeves, gives a loose and oversized appearance to his whole garment. He also has dark blue tabi socks and a pair of white zōri with dark blue straps.Due to Tanjiro's presence around him, Muichiro manifested his Demon Slayer Mark during the battle against the Upper Rank 5 Gyokko. Muichiro's mark is blood red coloured, resembling mist shaped clouds on both his cheeks and the left side of his forehead.

Personality

Muichiro is an air-headed individual who seems to constantly wander off in thought and is unable to focus on anything. Impassive and, at times, obtuse, he tends to think only for himself and operates on logic alone, never letting emotions guide him, making him seem seemingly apathetic and indifferent. However, Tanjiro Kamado sensed that Muichiro wasn't being apathetic on purpose as he didn't emanate any animosity. Despite his mostly uncaring and unserious demeanor, he has been shown to become serious when it is required and is intensely devoted to his position as the Demon Slayer Corps' Mist Hashira. Additionally, he seems to display a cold and arrogant side, as shown by him violently shaking down Kotetsu, calling him stupid, claiming that his time as a Hashira was important, more so than his own, and that all that the swordsmiths could do was make weapons. Despite this, Muichiro doesn't seem to be indifferent towards Kagaya Ubuyashiki, most likely due to his immense respect for his master.However, before the death of his twin brother when the siblings were eleven, Muichiro's personality was that of a much more compassionate and optimistic individual, the polar opposite of his current disposition. Having originally taken after his father, he was shown to display a higher level of kindness and understanding, believing he should aim to do good for others if he wanted good to be done for him. When told by Amane Ubuyashiki that they were descendants to Demon Slayers of old, Muichiro became excited at the prospect of being able to protect people.After his brother was attacked by a demon and witnessing his final moments and death, Muichiro subsequently lost his memories and has held a perpetual rage deeply suppressed inside of him that inevitably drove his future, intense training. After this memory loss, he started exhibiting the indifferent attitude of his twin brother he is now known for as a Hashira, becoming hostile, aloof, and unbothered by the opinions of others.

Muichiro's compassion for Tanjiro

During his later interactions with Tanjiro, Muichiro started regaining his memories of his past, causing him to behave more maturely and seriously, even choosing to help Kotetsu when his life was in danger instead of ignoring him. After his memory was fully restored, Muichiro began expressing more emotions and became more confident in himself and started caring more for his peers in the Demon Slayer Corps. He also started exhibiting emotions common for someone his age, particularly childishness and immaturity when interacting with his other Demon Slayers. He also appears to be evidently biased towards Tanjiro after his battle with Gyokko in the Swordsmith Village, as his cheerful demeanor when around him was replaced by a cold indifference when around other Demon Slayers. However, he was shown to be more aware of himself and those around him, evident when he realized that Obanai Iguro had a crush on Mitsuri Kanroji, which surprised Gyomei Himejima. His kindness also aided him in building friendships among the Demon Slayers and making happy memories like the ones back when he lived with his family.

Overall Abilities

Despite his young age in comparison to his Hashira brethren, Muichiro is an incredibly talented and skilled member of the Demon Slayer Corps, who was noted by the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku to be more skilled than he was at his age.Even before becoming a Demon Slayer, he was able to completely overpower a demon using only wooden stakes and farming tools.He has the astounding feat of becoming a Hashira a mere two months after picking up a sword,a feat that would normally take five years of training for the average person and at best two years,which earned him the praise of the Sound Hashira Tengen Uzui. After gaining his Demon Slayer Mark, he was able to engage Gyokko, the fifth highest ranking demon of the Twelve Kizuki, in combat with little difficulty, eventually killing him even after he had transformed into his true form.

Immense Speed & Reflexes

As a Hashira, Muichiro is tremendously fast, displaying the ability to slash demons and move in bursts of speeds akin to teleporting. His speed could also easily outspeed the reflexes of Tanjiro Kamado, who was able to keep up with the movements of Upper Rank demons.Muichiro's incredible speed and reflexes were further exemplified during his battle with Upper Rank Five, Gyokko, as shown when he could deflect and evade a barrage of a thousand sharp poisonous needles with his sword and slice up 10,000 slime-fish in a split second, even sending all of them flying before their blood could touch him.He was also able to keep up with Gyokko himself, who could teleport between distant pots, and later managed to decapitate him faster than the Upper Rank could react.Muichiro also displayed incredible control over his own movement speed with his Obscuring Clouds technique, which requires him to switch between extremely slow movements and blinding bursts of speeds faster than the eye can see.
