Yoriichi Tsugikuni (継国 縁壱)
(Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (鬼滅の刃))
Yoriichi Tsugikuni (繼國 緣壱, Yoriichi Tsugikuni) is the posthumous overarching protagonist of the 2016-2020 fantasy horror manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and its 2019 anime television series adaption.He is, without a doubt, the single most powerful character in the entire story and the creator of the first Breathing Style, Sun Breathing. With the introduction of the Breathing Styles, the pace of demon hunting began to accelerate, giving demon slayers the power they so desperately needed to fight demons on even terms.With Yoriichi's Sun Breathing eventually deriving onto various forms of Breathing techniques, demon slayers finally began to produce desirable results. No demon slayer as an individual was ever as powerful as Yoriichi before his birth, during his life, or since his death.He is also the younger twin brother of Michikatsu Tsugikuni, who had a very complicated love-hate viewpoint of Yoriichi and later became the Upper One demon Kokushibo to transcend death and attempt to surpass Yoriichi's incredible talent, which can only be depicted as being blessed by gods.

DEMON SLAYER YORIICHI TSUGIKUNI APPEARANCE
Yoriichi is a tall man with a muscular build, fair skin, maroon eyes, and long spiky hair with red tips that he kept in a ponytail. He has a similar overall appearance to his twin brother Michikatsu, but unlike him, he was slightly more slender, had shorter bangs, and wavier hair than him. Yoriichi is always seen with an aloof and solemn look on his face, rarely showing emotion.
Yoriichi wore a red haori over a very pale orange-colored nagagi kimono with a black umanori-styled hakama, a pair of zōri with red straps and white tabi socks, with a Nichirin Sword carried at the left side of his waist, conventional to most Demon Slayers. He sported hanafuda earrings created by his mother as charms when he was thought to be deaf; he later gave them to his friend Sumiyoshi, who then passed the earrings down to his descendants and eventually Tanjiro as well.
DEMON SLAYER YORIICHI TSUGIKUNI PERSONALITY
Yoriichi was a calm and respectful individual who wore a solemn and reserved expression at all times, rarely showing outbreaks of emotion. Generally, Yoriichi had a matching low and serene disposition, evident when he killed demons without changing expression or when Muzan was caught offguard by his immense skill because he appeared unassuming. Because of his gentle disposition and unchanging facial expression, most could not tell what he was feeling: the only person who could read his feelings without difficulty was his wife Uta.[5] He was also extremely humble, seeing himself as just another man and no one special despite his extraordinary abilities; an example being the time he performed the Sun Breathing's forms for Suyako at her request and almost seemed embarrassed afterwards. Yoriichi was also noted by his brother to always have had faith in the future and was confident that despite the immense power of the Demon Slayers after they started using Breathing Styles, a generation would emerge that would surpass their own.
Despite appearing mostly nonchalant, he experiences emotions like any other person; he grieved the loss of Uta and their unborn child for ten straight days and was driven to tears seeing the joy Sumire showed at the simple act of being lifted up. He also smiled warmly and expressed gratitude to Sumiyoshi after his friend told him his life was not worthless and promised to preserve his Sun Breathing forms through his descendants. Yoriichi is also very kind, shown when he was on the way to fetch a midwife in preparation of the birth of his child, only to stop and help an old man he met along the way reach his dying son.
As a child, Yoriichi looks up to his older brother Michikatsu. Michikatsu's dream is to become the strongest samurai in the land, so he said that he would become the second strongest. Even in his childhood, he was extremely reserved and quiet, even being believed to be deaf by his family for seven years as he never spoke.
Yoriichi cared for his ailing mother when no one else knew she was ill and protected his father by not telling anyone about how he berated him as a child, even when his father did not love him. He respected his older twin brother and he kept the flute Michikatsu gave him before he left home all the way till his death. When he met him after sixty years, the latter having embraced his new life as a demon. Yoriichi was deeply devastated by what his brother had become and cried. Nonetheless, he attempted to kill Michikatsu in order to stop him as a traitor to the Demon Slayer Corps.
