One of the first high level moon demons that is quite feared is Kokushibo which makes Demon Slayer lovers curious. This is because Kokushibo himself is a user of a quite unique breathing technique, Moon breathing. Even though it just appeared in the comic, Kokushibo's presence has been eagerly awaited by fans in the anime version.

The Dunia Games team will discuss some facts about Kokushibo that are quite surprising and perhaps rarely known by many people. Let's see in more detail.

1. Kokushibo is the Younger Brother of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Creator of the Sun's Breath

During his human days, Kokushibo was known as Michikatsu Tsugikuni. He is the twin brother of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, a legendary demon slayer famous for creating the Sun Breathing Technique. Kokushibo trained and refined his sword skills under Yoriichi and eventually became the second most powerful swordsman of the modern era. He always wanted to surpass his brother but unfortunately he never could.

2. One of the Demons that Uses the Breathing Technique

Kokushibo was one of the first demon slayers to use the Total Concentration Technique. He was unable to master the Sun Breathing Technique, so to make up for that, he created the Moon Breathing Technique, which was an offshoot of his previous principles. After turning into a devil, he combined his blood demon art with his breathing technique to make it stronger.

3. Awakened the Mark of the Demon Slayer

Michikatsu used to be jealous of his brother because of his natural talent and extraordinary abilities that rivaled him throughout his life. Yoriichi was born with his demon slayer mark, but Michikatsu awakened on his own during sword training. The demon slayer mark usually comes with a curse that the wielder will die at the age of 25, but Yoriichi can still live to old age. As an immortal demon, the curse has no effect on Kokushibo.

4. The First Demon Slayer to Become a Demon

In the history of demon slayers, Michikatsu is the first demon slayer to become a demon. Angry at not being able to surpass his brother and fearful of certain death after awakening his demon slayer mark, he chose to give up his humanity after being persuaded by Muzan Kibutsuji. It took him about three days to turn into a demon because he used to be a breath user.

5. Kokushibo is Very Loyal to Muzan

Kokushibo has great respect and loyalty towards Muzan and unlike other demons who often act recklessly, he only works to achieve his master's goals. Unlike the other demons, Kokushibo absorbed a large dose of Muzan's blood, which made him the strongest upper demon among all the Upper Demons in Demon Slayer. He kills the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps and gives it as a gift to Muzan, showing his loyalty. Muzan regards Kokushibo as his greatest treasure.

6. Has Gained Access to Transparent World

After awakening his Demon Slayer Mark, Michikatsu is also capable of using the Transparent World technique. He became able to use this technique on an ongoing basis without any of the downsides of becoming a demon. He can effectively break his opponent's attacks with this technique. Kokushibo uses the Transparent World to see the structure of Gyomei Himejima's body.

7. Obsessed with the Indestructible Sword

Unlike the other Nichirin swords in Demon Slayer, Kokushibo can create his own katana with limbs separated from his body. His katana has a hideous appearance, as it looks like flesh and has eyes on it. Kokushibo's swords are enormous in size and extremely sharp and durable. Additionally, if his katana is destroyed, he can completely regenerate it in a matter of seconds, which makes him essentially indestructible.

8. Lived Over 400 Years

Kokushibo, also known as Michikatsu Tsugikuni, lived in a time span spanning from the Sengoku Era to the Taisho Era. During this period, he managed to occupy the position of being the oldest demon among the 12 Moon Demons. During this long and challenging life span, Kokushibo was dedicated to sharpening and refining his sword skills, making him a feared swordsman.

9. Akaza’s Rival

Akaza carries a hostile attitude towards Kokushibo and challenges him for his position. However, the former lost miserably. Even though Kokushibo usually preys on the demons he defeats, he lets Akaza go. Although he hates Akaza for being impudent towards the hierarchy, he enjoys training with the latter because of the challenge.

10. Muichiro Tokito Is in Kokushibo’s Lineage

Muichiro, Pillar of Mist of the Demon Slayer Corps, is a descendant of Kokushibo. This became clear after the two first met each other. Kokushibo is amused by his sword skills at his age and decides to turn him into a demon. He even showed concern while helping to bandage Muichiro's amputated hand.

11. Kokushibo Becomes a Demon who Turns Kaigaku Into a Demon

Kokushibo is the figure responsible for Kaigaku's transformation into a demon. Initially, they were in a fierce battle, but Kokushibo managed to easily win in this bloody battle.

After mastering the fight, Kokushibo then gives Kaigaku a difficult choice: become a demon or face death. Against such a choice, Kaigaku finally accepted Kokushibo's offer. This event changed Kaigaku's destiny forever, leaving him as a powerful demon, and under Kokushibo's reign.

12. Gave a Flute as a Gift to His Brother

Once upon a time, Kokushibo made a flute as a gift for his brother. In their childhood, Kokushibo and his younger brother, Yoriichi, were treated very differently. Yoriichi was often exiled and separated from others. Developing affection for his younger brother, Kokushibo later made the flute for Yoriichi. The goal is to relieve the loneliness that his brother feels. The flute gift became a symbol of Kokushibo's care and concern for Yoriichi in the face of his difficult days.

13. Famous Quotes from Kokushibo

"That old and ugly creature that used to be my little brother feels sorry for me. But... I'm not angry. Even though it was 60 years ago, he bothered me a lot. The voice calling me 'brother' was so hoarse. My little brother never showed the slightest emotion. .. so at the sight of his shedding tears something welled up inside me for the first time since birth. I was confused... at this unexpected anxiety within myself. But I had to kill... this part of me from when I was human. .. This old man with a fragile flesh that is past its prime... He is a Demon Slayer, and I must kill anyone who points a sword at me. But his strange sentimentality... disappears in the next moment."

This quote was present when Kokushibo met his brother again when he was 80 years old, and his brother was already waiting for his presence.

14. Wanted to Learn the Sun Breathing Technique

After receiving help from his younger brother, Kokushibo has a strong desire to become stronger and master the Sun Breathing Technique, a technique that belongs to his younger brother. But unfortunately, he was unable to master the technique. Instead, he created a new breathing technique, the Moon Breathing Technique. This technique, although different from that mastered by his younger brother, proved that Kokushibo was also skilled and unique in the world of swords.

15. Become the Most Skill Users

As a user of the Moon Breathing Technique, Kokushibo managed to create a large number of moves from this technique, reaching up to 16 moves. This success is inseparable from the fact that Kokushibo has lived for hundreds of years, giving him ample time to hone and develop his many moves. His ability to create these moves shows how deep Kokushibo's knowledge and skills are in the field of swords.
