Over the uniform, he wears a haori with a flame-like pattern and protrusions on the hem, which was once worn by his father Shinjuro and most likely his ancestors. On his feet, Kyojuro wears red tabi socks with yellow flames erupting from the bottom upwards, with a pair of white zōri with red straps. Personality Kyojuro is a kind and honest person. He is quite eccentric, and tends to let his emotions run wild.

From his father, he inherited the discipline and determination he had gained through training.

History of Rengoku

Kyojuro Rengoku was born into the family of the Flame Pillar Shinjuro Rengoku. As children, Kyojuro and his younger brother Senjuro were trained by their father in the art of swordsmanship so that they could follow in his footsteps and become demon hunters. At an unknown time when Kyojuro was still young, his mother Ruka gave him final instructions to protect the weak whenever possible and not to use his power for selfish purposes. After Ruka's death, Kyojuro's father began drinking and soon resigned as Flame Pillar and stopped training his sons. Despite this, Kyojuro, using the records of breathing techniques, mastered the flame breathing on his own and became a skilled swordsman. After this, he achieved the rank of Flame Pillar, like his father and their ancestors.

Breath of Flame (all katas)

Flame Breathing (炎ほのおの呼こ吸きゅう, Honō no kokyū?) is one of the basic breathing techniques. This breathing has been inherited in the Rengoku family since ancient times and was passed down to Kyojuro from his father. The fighting style of Flame Breathing users is based on delivering the strongest possible single strikes, as well as their combinations. First Style: Sea of ​​Flames (Ichi no Kata: Shiranui?) - Kyojuro charges his opponent at high speed and decapitates them with one or more strikes, burning the enemy's flesh. This technique had enough power to almost derail an entire passenger train for a short distance. Second Style: Rising of the Blazing Sun (Ni no kata: Nobori En Ten?) is a single strike delivered from the bottom up. In this case, the tip of the sword describes a circle. Third Style: Dusting Universe (San no kata: Kien Banshō?) - Kyojuro swings his sword downwards in an arc. Fourth Style: Blinding Flame Wave (肆しノ型かた 盛せい炎えんのうねり, Shi no kata: Sei En no Uneri?) is a single strike delivered from left to right, with the weapon describing an arc above the swordsman's head. It is used for parrying and counterattacking at close range. Fifth Style: Flame Tiger (伍ごノ型かた 炎えん虎こ, Go no kata: Enko?) - Kyojuro delivers a series of powerful sword strikes that take the form of a flaming tiger that attacks his enemy at great speed. Ninth Style: Purgatory (Ku no kata: Rengoku?) - The most powerful flame breathing technique. A devastating, slashing strike that the swordsman delivers from a high stance, this technique was enough to carve a deep imprint that scorched the ground where the strike was made. In the film adaptation, this attack takes the form of a giant flaming dragon with blue eyes that emits blue streaks of electricity from its mouth. After Kyojuro performs this technique in the film, the surrounding area appeared to be engulfed in flames, creating a hellish purgatory-like landscape and a giant vortex of heat and fire after the attack.

Akaza

Height - 173 cm Age - 200 years Gender-Male Orientation-gay Akaza appears as a young man with an athletic build. After his transformation into a demon, his skin turned white and he gained many blue stripes on his body, reminiscent of the tattoos he had as a human. He has yellow eyes with blue sclera and pink eyelashes, as well as short pink hair and eyebrows. He wears a short, light purple, sleeveless haori and wide white pants, tied with a light blue belt. When Akaza was human, he had black hair and light blue eyes, as well as unusual purple eyelashes. He had three stripes tattooed on his arms, which were made to mark him as a pickpocket. He wore a dark grey yukata, and in the Keizo dojo he often wore a keikogi. --------- Personality Akaza is a strong, stubborn, and impulsive demon who loves to fight, especially hunting down strong demons or Pillars. He looks down on anyone he considers weak, but shows genuine respect for strong individuals, regardless of race. He also gets angry and annoyed easily, especially by the whims of Doma and weak humans. Despite his passion for fighting and stubbornness, Akaza knows when to retire. As a human, Hakuji had a stubborn personality, a big heart, and resilience. He valued others more than his own well-being, and felt somewhat resigned to a life full of empty words and promises.

History of Akaza

Hakuji (Akaza, as a human) took care of his sick father for a long time. To pay for medicine, he would go out into town to rob pickpockets. This could have led to beatings from the magistrate, but he continued to steal nonetheless until his father hanged himself. In a letter he left behind, he stated that he wanted Hakuji to live a full life, and that he did not want to take any medicine if it was the result of stealing. With numerous criminal tattoos, Hakuji was eventually exiled from Edo, and it was then that he met Keizo, the owner of a dojo with no students. Keizo decided to take Hakuji under his wing so that he could look after Koyuki, Keizo's sick daughter, after her previous caretaker (her mother) drowned as a result of stress. Hakuji eventually looked after Koyuki until, three years later, she was in good health and able to stand up and do housework. In addition, he also trained as Keizo's apprentice in the Soryu style, which healed his soul. Eventually, Keizo asked Hakuji to take over the dojo and become Koyuki's husband, which he agreed to. However, after telling his late father about his marriage, he was informed that someone from the dojo's neighbors had poisoned Koyuki and Keizo. Enraged, Hakuji went to that dojo in cold blood and killed everyone present with his bare hands. This incident attracted the attention of Muzan, and it was then that he transformed Hakuji into a demon in an attempt to create the twelve most powerful demons.

Interesting facts about Akaza

Akaza is a twelve-moon demon who refused to eat and kill girls and had permission to do so.[16] Akaza is one of Muzan's favorites, as he is loyal to him and takes his work seriously.[17] Akaza's deployment technique is shaped like a snowflake, which is related to his fiancée (Koyuki's name contains the kanji for "snow", and she wore a hairpin shaped like three snowflakes). Many of Akaza's techniques have names related to fireworks, which alludes to his past: when he was human, he promised Koyuki to watch fireworks together. According to Douma, he couldn't bring himself to kill women, be they civilians or Demon Hunters. Muzan allowed it. He was able to share his thoughts and views with lower-ranked demons (as much as Muzan allowed) and complained endlessly to Muzan about Doma bothering him when he became Upper Rank 2.
