Appearance
Akaza was a very muscular young man of
average height with skin so fair, it appears bright
green-tinged white, decorated by a pattern of
thick blue lines, which resemble the criminal
tattoos he had as a human. Akaza had short,
bright pink hair that RuSed out around his head,
and inward-tilting yellow eyes with pink
eyelashes and blue sclera that looked somewhat
じょう
like cracked glass. The kanji for "Upper Rank" (上
げん さん
弦, Jōgen?) and the daiji for "Three" (参, San?)
are etched into his irises as well.
The lines on his face curved through each of his
eyes from below his ears to over his temples,
another blue line running from the center of his
hairline to the bridge of his nose, with two more
lines running around his neck, three others
branching oS the lower one to his torso. The
middle line runs directly down his chest to
halfway down his stomach, and the other two
branched oS to the sides over each side of his
chest to join the two other lines, this same
three-line pattern there also repeating around
his waist. On his arms, there are lines running
down the front of his shoulders that run into two
more, which go around his biceps, before
continuing to run down to his wrists, below
which it could be seen that each of his Ongers
are also dark blue with an orange Ongernail, his
toes also sharing this unusual appearance.
Akaza wore little, only sporting a short,
sleeveless dark purple-pink haori that was cut
oS at his waist, left open to expose his chest,
that was decorated by a square pattern on his
back. Below this, he sported a pair of baggy
white pants that he rolled to just below the knee
with a blue rope belt to secure them at his waist.
Akaza prefers to go barefoot, but wears a chain
of large round pink pearls around each of his
ankles.
During his human days as Hakuji, he had the
same hair, just colored black rather than pink,
and pale blue eyes with unusually-colored pink
eyelashes. He was also very muscular as a
human, and, on each of his forearms, he bore
three black criminal tattoos. He also wore a dark
blue-gray yukata.

Personality
Akaza coaxing Kyojuro into becoming a demon as he recognizes
his strength.
Akaza is a headstrong, stubborn and battle-
crazed Social Darwinist who enjoys Oghting,
especially against strong Demon Slayers. He
purposefully drew out Oghts so as to savor every
moment of it, always complimenting his
opponents when they unleash strong
techniques or land blows on him, usually
remarking that their techniques and
swordsmanship are magniOcent and intriguing.
Akaza looked down on anybody he deemed
weak, so much so that his skin would crawl at
the sight of them. He genuinely respected those
who were strong in his eyes, demanding to
know their names, and would not stop until he
Onds out; he remembers all the names of strong
past opponents and committed them to
memory as tribute to their strength. Akaza also
presents an opportunity for those he recognizes
the strength of to become demons, believing
that preserving their reOned techniques and skill
was right and feels pain watching the
deterioration of those blessed with extraordinary
gifts as they age, and going so far as to kill them
in order to preserve their magniOcent skill
himself should they decline his oSer to become
a demon. Akaza also doesn't discriminate strong
warriors that were weak before, as shown when
he praised and complimented Tanjiro Kamado
despite initially attempting to kill him over how
weak he was during their Orst encounter, even
going so far as to thank Kyojuro for Tanjiro's
growth. Akaza believes strongly in Social
Darwinism, believing that the law of nature
dictates that all weaklings shall be eliminated.
Akaza has a deeply-rooted psychological need
to become stronger, and did not get along with
his fellow Upper Ranks, seeing them as his
rivals.[8] He is especially antagonistic towards
and somewhat jealous of the two Upper Ranks
above him, Doma and Kokushibo, lashing out at
Doma[9] and vowing to kill Kokushibo.[10] Even
after being beheaded during his Oght against
Tanjiro and Giyu Tomioka, he stubbornly held on
and continued to Oght, remarking that he must
become the strongest no matter what, to the
point of overcoming all demons' shared
weakness of decapitation by Nichirin Swords
through nothing but sheer willpower and
resolve.[11] It was later revealed that Akaza's
desperate and stubborn pursuit of strength was
to heal his sick father and to protect the ones he
loved and cared about, namely his Oancée
Koyuki and his teacher Keizo.
Akaza also possesses a deep hatred for his past
life as a human, believing that it was absolutely
worthless, and hated anyone or anything that
reminded him of it, such as Tanjiro's own view of
how the strong should help the weak and Giyu's
unwavering resolve reminding Akaza of Keizo,
both instances which he reacted to negatively.
Akaza's regretful outlook on his past.
As a human, Akaza possessed the same
stubborn and resilient personality. However, as a
human, his personality was also much more
noble and kind, and even somewhat honorable.
The only reason he committed crimes was out
of sheer desperation, as he needed money to
buy medicine for his father. Even after receiving
countless beatings that would make a grown
man go numb, Akaza's resolve never wavered,
further declaring that he would endure those
same beatings for a hundred years just for his
father to heal, showing how much Akaza valued
the well-being of his loved ones more than
himself. This was also shown when he nursed
Koyuki despite having no connection to her
before, never even feeling that it was a burden
before and declining her oSer of going to see
the Oreworks instead of tirelessly nursing her.
Even after becoming a demon and losing his
memories of his human life, parts of his human
memories inRuenced his decisions; he refuses
to eat or kill women, despite knowing it would
make him stronger if he did so.[12] Koyuki's name
and hairpin inRuenced the shape and design of
his Compass Needle technique, the martial arts
style he uses as a demon was mainly inspired by
the Soryu style Keizo taught him, and the
naming of his attacks were based on Oreworks, a
reference to Akaza's promise to take Koyuki to
see the Oreworks after she was healed. His
hatred of weak people and belief of Social
Darwinism stems from a corruption of his
human memories, where a rival dojo poisoned
his dojo's well because they were never able to
beat him.[13]
After remembering the entirety of his past,
Akaza started to regret his actions both as a
human and demon, realizing that he never
respected his father's words to live an honest
life and bloodied Keizo's precious Soryu Style by
using it to murder others. He came to the
realization that he hated himself for all of the
times he wasn't there to save or protect those
he loved, and that he himself was the person he
really wanted to kill all along. With the
knowledge that the people that he wanted to
protect had already died a long time ago, Akaza
lost the will to continue Oghting as his pursuit of
strength was already for naught and decided to
end his own life. In his Onal moments, Akaza
showed that he still had a lot of humanity left in
him, remarking that Tanjiro's technique was
magniOcent and that he had lost fair and square,
even smiling and feeling gratitude towards him
for reminding him of his past.

Abilities
Overall Abilities
Akaza fatally wounding the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku.
As the third highest ranking member of the
Twelve Kizuki, Akaza is an exceptionally powerful
demon and the fourth strongest in existence,
after Doma, Kokushibo, and Muzan Kibutsuji.
Even as a human child without martial arts
training, Akaza could defeat and knock grown
men unconscious on his own,[14] and at the age
そ りゅうしき
of 18, after learning the Soryu Style (素 流 式,
Soryū Shiki?) from Keizo, he was capable of
singlehandedly annihilating 67 trained adult
swordsmen with his bare Osts, to the point
where Muzan initially thought it was a demon
who had killed all these men.[15] Upon becoming
a demon, his combat prowess only grew,
eventually obtaining the title of Upper Rank
Three among the Twelve Kizuki despite his
growth rate being hindered by his refusal to eat
women.[16] Akaza was able to Oght on par with
the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku and
eventually kill him, although he was almost killed
himself in their encounter, and has also killed
numerous other Hashira and Demon Slayers in
the past.[17]
Akaza was also able to simultaneously combat
both the Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka and Tanjiro
Kamado, a Hashira-level Demon Slayer, despite
being outnumbered by the two and both of
them utilizing their Demon Slayer Marks,
dominating the majority of their battle and only
losing to them once Tanjiro had accessed the
SelRess State and Transparent World. Although
Akaza was unable to defeat Kokushibo when he
challenged him for his position of Upper Rank
One, the latter decided to spare his life due to
Onding his challenge entertaining,[18] suggesting
that Akaza was at least able to give Kokushibo a
decent Oght despite the power gap between the
two.
Indomitable Will: Akaza possesses an immense
willpower and an undaunted spirit. Despite
being beheaded by Tanjiro's Nichirin Sword, he
refused to disintegrate and die, instead forcing
his headless body to keep Oghting.[19] He pushed
his regeneration to evolve to the point where he
could regrow his head, all because he simply
refused to allow himself to lose.[20] Even before
he became a demon, he would relentlessly take
blows from opponents way bigger than him and
receive countless beatings all because of his
goal to heal his sick father.[14]
Tactical Intellect: With over a century of
combat experience and martial arts training
under his belt, Akaza is able to Oght eSectively
with foresight and tactical intelligence. This
even surprised Giyu, who stated that Akaza
could instantly evolve and adapt to any attack or
technique that he uses, predict when his
opponents will strike and how to counter them
with equal power.[21] Before he became a
demon, Akaza has displayed natural aptitude in
martial arts, shown when he was capable of
beating up trained swordsmen from neighboring
dojos while still in the midst of learning Keizo's
Soryu Style. This is further exempliOed when he
could Oght and defeat grown men without
martial arts training.[14]

Demon Abilities
Akaza instantly regrowing his arms moments after they were
sliced oE.
Immense Regeneration: As Upper Rank Three,
Akaza possesses one of the most incredible
regenerative abilities ever seen, due to
assimilating a massive amount of Muzan's blood.
He was capable of instantly recovering from
slash wounds both minor and severe and even
limbs slashed oS by his opponents with little
eSort.[22][23][24] During his battle against Giyu
and Tanjiro, his regeneration evolved even
further as he didn't die even after having his
head cut oS by a Nichirin Sword and then
completely regrew a new one afterwards,[25][20]
a feat considered impossible for demons except
for Muzan Kibutsuji. Even without a head,
Akaza's regeneration speed was still nigh-
instantaneous.[26] Furthermore, Akaza seems to
be capable of Onely controlling his own
regeneration speed. This was shown on multiple
occasions, such as when Kyojuro sliced Akaza's
arm in two, where the Upper Rank slowed down
his own recovery speed to show oS his sliced
arm only to heal the injury instantaneously,[27]
as well as when Akaza didn't heal a slash wound
Kyojuro inRicted on his chest only for his
regeneration to take eSect as he placed his
hand on it, as a demonstration that his attacks
could never truly harm him as a demon. Most
prominently, Akaza purposefully stopped his
own regeneration after he lost the will to Oght
and accepted his defeat at Tanjiro's hands.
