Yuichiro Tokito

Yuichiro Tokito

Yuichiro was a short young boy with long, straight hair of a dark black color that fades to pale turquoise the closer to his waist it goes. He wore it 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 possessed large, pale turquoise eyes, a trait, like his hair, that he shared with his twin brother Muichiro. due to the fact he lost an arm, her had to get an prosthetic, which also doubles as a Katana as it can be hidden inside and with a simple move he can brought it out to slay demons

personality

Yuichiro was a cold and skeptical individual who didn't believe in compassion or caring for others. He believed that doing good deeds wouldn't do a person a shred of good, which is seen when he claimed his father was a fool for dying while trying to gather herbs to help cure his mother's fatal illness, and shot down Muichiro's suggestion that they become Demon Slayers in order to save people's lives. This behavior stemmed from the pain and grief of losing both of his parents in one fell swoop, however, since just before he passed away from a demon attack, Yuichiro was seen praying that his brother be saved and apologizing for getting in his way when he wanted to be useful, showing that deep down he was actually a kind and caring person. Yuichiro's critical attitude to the altruism his parents' selflessness and their good intentions to help others while neglecting their own limitations is not entirely true. It was something that Yuichiro likely spoke to his brother out of fear that the same fate would befall him. However, when Yuichiro jumps in front of his brother to protect him, it becomes clear that he is more similar to his family than he imagined.

backstory

Yuichiro and his younger twin brother, Muichiro, were born to a woodcutter and his wife. When they were ten, their mother caught a cold which developed into bronchitis and killed her. Their father, away at the time, went to fetch medicinal herbs during a storm and ended up falling off a cliff to his death. The two siblings survived together, though while Muichiro took after the emotive and kind nature of their father, Yuichiro instead held a cold and impassive outlook on life. In the following spring, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's wife, Amane Ubuyashiki, arrived to recruit them for the Demon Slayer Corps, informing them that they were descendants of powerful Demon Slayers. Muichiro's excitement was opposed by Yuichiro's unwelcoming and rejecting reception, eventually forcing Amane to leave them. Annoyed by Muichiro's continual optimism, Yuichiro lashed out at him in an emotional outburst and revealed that he blamed the death of their parents on their hardworking and selfless nature and instead adopted a cold outlook on life to keep himself and his brother alive. Though Amane continued to visit the twins, Yuichiro chased her away each time, eventually leaving for good when he threw water on her. In the following summer, a demon arrived at their cabin during the night and attacked them; Yuichiro lost his left arm while trying to protect Muichiro by standing between him and the monster. As the demon insulted them for their worthlessness, Muichiro lost himself in a rage and defeated the demon with all the tools at his disposal and wooden logs. By sunrise, the demon withered into ash and Muichiro dragged himself back to the house. There, he found Yuichiro near death praying to the heavens that his brother might survive. Yuichiro then told Muichiro that the 'Mu' in his name means infinity, and told him to live on. He then laid there grasping his brother's hand as he died.Several days later, Amane and her daughters Nichika and Hinaki found the twins.
