Nakime, Uppermoon 4. In Japan 1912-1926, The story takes place in Japan's Taishō era, where humans secretly fight against demons, transformed humans with supernatural abilities. Nakime is a recurring character and a supporting antagonist in the Infinity Castle Arc of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. She is a demon who owns and controls the Infinity Castle and serves directly under Muzan Kibutsuji. Some time after Hantengu's death during the battle in the Swordsmith Village, Nakime attains the position of Upper Rank Four (上じょう弦げんの肆し, Jōgen no Shi?) in the Twelve Kizuki. In the past, Nakime was an obscure amateur biwa musician struggling to make ends meet. The man she married to was hopelessly addicted to gambling who squandered her earnings and savings while contributing nothing to improve their lives. Nakime murdered her husband using a hammer on the day she was going to perform. During a fateful day, when she had a routine appointment to perform at stage again, she randomly chose a new person to kill and the target happens to be Muzan. She tried to kill him but failed. Muzan was impressed with Nakime's searching skills and pleased with what she did, so he spared her life and offered to make her a demon. Nakime accepted his offer, became a demon and climbed the ranks quicky and became one of Muzan's top servants.

Nakime is a pale woman with a grayish complexion, who has sharp, blue-stained nails and notably dark pink lips which sharply contrasted the tone of her skin. She has glossy, hip-length hair of a black color, which she wore falling down her back in slight waves that cut off sharply at the ends, with two chin-length strands left to frame her face and long bangs that obscured her large eye set in between them, swept to either side of her nose. Nakime dons a plain-loose black kimono with a white loose yuban underneath, secured with a striped pale brown-striped obi, white socks and no shoes or clogs. She was always seen holding a four-stringed wooden biwa with a large bachi pick. Nakime took to wearing her bangs as to not obscure her face, showing that she possessed a single large, pink-colored eye with the daiji for "Four" (肆し, Shi?) engraved into its iris. She's quiet, aloof, mysterious, gentle, loyal and straightforward. She's also 4'11 in height and possesses sharp, blue-stained nails. Unlike most demons, Nakime was not particularly violent or sadistic, and instead is aloof and taciturn, almost never speaking and displaying little to no emotion or will outside of obeying orders. She was extremely loyal to Muzan Kibutsuji, The Demon King, listening and following his every order faultlessly. She showed little interaction with other demons and seems to be mostly disinterested in their presence. Nakime's Blood Demon Art takes the form of an extra-dimensional space that houses a fortress of immense scale. As its owner, Nakime possesses absolute dominion over the space, being able to manipulate and alter it at will by simply strumming her biwa. The Infinity Castle is an alternate dimension consisting of endless wooden rooms, halls, and moving corridors. It possesses a warped direction of gravity, allowing demons to stand upright, upside down, or perpendicularly on the walls, or move in physically impossible directions. Its unusual structure and layout as Nakime's Blood Demon Art allows any structure within to shift at her will, though the castle additionally also seems to move on its own.
