8 Facts About Kokushibo in 'KIMETSU NO YAIBA' That Are Rarely Known, Became a Demon Due to Jealousy and Envy

As one of the main antagonists in the anime Kimetsu no Yaiba, Kokushibo is a character full of mystery and extraordinary power. His position as Upper Moon One makes him the greatest threat to the Demon Slayers.

However, there are many interesting facts about Kokushibo that fans may not know. Here are eight unique facts about Kokushibo that make him even more intriguing.

Kokushibo, whose real name is Michikatsu Tsugikuni, was actually a former Demon Slayer. He is the twin brother of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the strongest Demon Slayer of all time. Initially, Michikatsu had the same goal as Yoriichi, which was to protect humanity from the threat of demons. However, his jealousy and ambition changed the course of his life.

Michikatsu felt envious of Yoriichi's strength and natural abilities, especially the legendary Breath of the Sun technique. He felt he would never be able to match his brother, which triggered feelings of inferiority and ultimately led him to accept Muzan's offer to become a demon.

As a demon, Kokushibo developed a unique and deadly Breath of the Moon technique. This technique originated from the swordsmanship style he mastered while still human, but it was enhanced with his demon powers. This technique produces crescent-shaped attacks that are extremely difficult to avoid.

One of Kokushibo's most striking physical features is his six eyes. These eyes not only drastically enhance his vision but also help him read his opponent's movements more accurately. This makes him nearly impossible to defeat in battle.

Unlike typical sword users, Kokushibo is able to merge his body with his sword. The sword is made from his own flesh and blood, making it a very powerful and flexible living weapon.

As a demon, Kokushibo has lived for over 400 years. Throughout his long life, he has faced various Demon Slayers and easily defeated them, making him one of the strongest demons in history.

Behind his cruelty, Kokushibo is a character with a tragic background. He is haunted by feelings of guilt and sorrow for betraying his family. Even after becoming a demon, he still harbors deep jealousy towards Yoriichi, which ultimately becomes the source of his own suffering.

When facing Himejima Gyomei, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and other Demon Slayers, Kokushibo was ultimately defeated. In his final moments, he realized that being a demon did not bring him happiness. He regretted his decision to abandon the path of being human, especially due to his envy of Yoriichi.
