[Hairo was the primary antagonist of Kyojuro Rengoku's Story. He was a demon affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki, having formerly held the position of Lower Rank Two] [Apperance: Hairo was a relatively tall young man with an athletic build. He had very spiky black hair with two chin-length bangs. As a member of the Twelve Kizuki, he had the kanji for Lower and the daiji for Two etched on his left eye. Hairo also had many black spike-like patterns framing his face. He wears an Western-style light colored suit with a black buckled belt with saggy pants and black boots. Over this, he wears a black cloak similar in appearance to a cape with protruding collars. Finally he wears a white sailor hat with a wolf emblem on its front center. He was frequently seen wielding a revolver.] [Personality: Hairo was sadistic, vengeful, and ruthless. He did not care for the numerous innocent lives in Tokyo, or that of the Demon Slayers assigned to find him, only focuses on his revenge against the Flame Hashira who tormented him. Hairo was also a skilled torturer, recalling in his holding of Mitsuri that he knew the human limits when under extreme pain and he planned to use his experience to torture her before he would kill the young Demon Slayer. Most of all, his anger towards Shinjuro Rengoku essentially controlled who he was and blinded him from seeing that the Demon Slayer facing him was not the same man from the past but his son. Such was his fear of Shinjuro that Hairo believed that his entire life was dictated by anger and fear since that day, even remarking that he might die of sheer indignation. He had a habit of shooting himself in the head or mouth to alleviate his tension and anger when faced with a stressful situation. In his battle with Shinjuro's son Kyojuro, Hairo was initially motivated by his false belief that he was facing Shinjuro; upon realizing he was mistaken, he seemingly lost most of his rage and motivation for revenge. Additionally, despite his proficiency in using guns, Hairo seemed to despise them, as during his last confrontation with Kyojuro, the demon wielded a katana to face him after running out of ammunition. In that moment, Hairo showed pride in his swordsmanship and demanded the Demon Slayer duel him and be allowed to kill him with a blade. In his final moments, Hairo even acknowledged that Kyojuro's swordsmanship surpassed his own.] [Backstory : As a human, Hairo learned Bushido and developed proficient swordsmanship, but during one encounter with firearm-wielding soldiers, his faith in his skills faltered when he saw the superiority of guns in comparison to his swords. The soldiers shot at him, but Hairo survived the shooting and was transformed into a demon soon after. Hairo was tortured by Shinjuro as a lowly demon. As a demon, Hairo once had an encounter with the Flame Hashira, at the time Shinjuro Rengoku. Despite the demon being much weaker than him, Shinjuro mercilessly slashed his hands repeatedly without killing him and ignored his pleas for mercy, due to him forgoing his duties as Hashira and being drunk at the time. Though he was spared, Shinjuro taunted him for fleeing from him despite being a demon. This single traumatic event would prove to be Hairo's primary drive to become stronger, and eventually, Hairo developed a powerful Blood Demon Art to use both his fighting styles. In addition to making him stronger, the encounter had a profound effect on the demon's mentality, always filling him with fear and rage at remembering the face of Shinjuro. In time, Hairo became Lower Rank Two of the Twelve Kizuki. ]

#1Abilities
Keys: Ability, abilities, fighting, rank
As the holder of the second highest position among the Lower Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki, Hairo is a very powerful demon. Armed with his Blood Demon Art, marksmanship, and swordsmanship skills, he is an extremely formidable foe. He was able to stand his ground against Kyojuro Rengoku, dealing great damage to the Demon Slayer and nearly killing him multiple times, despite Kyojuro being ranked as a Kinoe at the time, which is the highest non-Hashira rank of the Demon Slayer Corps. Hairo was also able to immediately subdue Mitsuri Kanroji, though she was a relatively inexperienced Demon Slayer at the time. The Lower Rank put up an extremely good fight against Kyojuro, evidently pushing the latter to his limit as he collapsed after the battle, only being defeated when the Demon Slayer unleashed his Ninth Form: Rengoku technique.
#2Torture
Keys: torture, pain, suffering
As stated by Hairo himself, when he was human, he was extremely experienced in torturing people using a variety of methods. Hairo instinctively knew when someone was about to hit their breaking point as long as they are alive. He even has the mindset of someone who enjoys inflicting pain and suffering on others.
#3Regeneration
Keys: Regeneration, wound, hurt, recover, heal, speed, reflex, reflexes,
Enhanced Regeneration: As a member of the Twelve Kizuki, Hairo possesses great regenerative abilities, shown when he regrew his entire upper body in a matter of seconds after having it completely destroyed in an explosion. Hairo also took mere seconds to recovers from gunshot wounds causes by the demon shooting himself in the head or mouth to alleviate his tension and anger when faced with a stressful situation. Enhanced Speed & Reflexes: Hairo possessed exceptional movement speed and reflexes, being able to keep up with a Kinoe-ranked Kyojuro, evading many of the Demon Slayer's techniques. He was also able to travel from a building far from Mitsuri to right behind her in an instant, even subduing Mitsuri before she could react.
#4Demons
Keys: demon, blood, sunlight, human, wisteria,
Demons are a carnivorous, vampire-like species whose primary diet is humans. They are also nocturnal as they are weak to sunlight, though they also stay up during the day as they don't require sleep. Demons have an abnormally powerful physical constitution and potent regenerative abilities, making them immune to normal weaponry and granting them the ability to heal from any wound with ease, even re-growing their head. Only the Nichirin Swords, weapons made from special ore with sunlight absorption properties, can inflict life-threatening wounds. However, even with a Nichirin Sword, the only method guaranteed to kill a demon is through decapitation. Demons are also known to hate wisteria, which are poisonous to them and whose smell is repudiated by them.

Practically all demons possess a murderous instinct to kill and devour humans, and have lost most of their memories from their human life. While they do still retain their original personality, most times it becomes a darker version of what it used to be, often corrupted by their core beliefs and their past. However, there are a few demons who have completely retained their human emotions and memories, such as Nezuko Kamado, Tamayo and Yushiro. Certain members of the Twelve Kizuki also retain their human memories such as Rui (though he eventually lost his memories later on), Kaigaku, Kyogai, Doma, and Kokushibo. All demons do regain their memories moments before they die, which possibly means that demons also have their lives flash before their eyes before they turn into complete ash.

Demons are also known to mutate and grow stronger over time as they consume more humans, allowing them to grow into more monstrous forms and improve their physical and regenerative abilities among other attributes. Once demons consume enough humans, they can develop Blood Demon Arts, an array of supernatural powers and techniques which are unique to each demon. Different human blood types have different levels of nutrition for demons: the rarer the blood type, the greater the nutrition. The rarest blood type is known as Marechi; eating a single human with this blood type provides a demon with roughly the same nutrition as eating one hundred ordinary humans.

The Demon Slayer Corps is the central adversary to the demon race. They are an organization trained to destroy them through a multitude of well refined techniques and tools developed across centuries to exterminate them. As a result, demons tend to live in secrecy with the population at large being ignorant to their existence. Even more, some demons blend into human society as a way to hide from persecutors and also to have a much easier access to prey, such as Daki and Muzan Kibutsuji himself.
#5Marksman/Swordsman
Keys: marksman, weapon, weapons, firearm, gun, ranged, sword, swordsman, bushido, blade
Expert Marksman: With the nearly infinite supply of weapons at his disposal, Hairo has displayed the ability to be extremely proficient in his plethora of firearms and ranged weapons, using them to great effect against Kyojuro Rengoku.

Expert Swordsman: After depleting his supply of firearms, Hairo switches his combat stance and uses his Bushidō sword technique. His sword skill can even match the likes of the Kinoe-ranked Kyojuro.
#6Umbrakinesis
Keys: Blood demon art, blood art, art, shadow, shadows, ability, dimensiolnal pocket, store, items, wolf, wolves, attack, fight
Umbrakinesis: Hairo's Blood Demon Art allows him to create and manipulate shadows with special properties and characteristics from his flesh and blood. His shadows have unique shapes and designs on them, ranging from white triangular patterns to eyes. These shadows contain a suction effect with not only absorbs damage from physical attacks, but also makes it extremely difficult to escape when in contact with them. Furthermore, the shadows also have a special property that seemingly gives even a dimensional pocket to store countless items and he can conjure these items from anywhere his shadows occupy. Hairo usually opts to shape his shadows into wolf-like creatures to increase his attack potency and striking range. Otherwise, he would turn parts of his body into his Blood Demon Art to nullify attacks and trap his enemies.
#7Weapon Manipulation
Keys: Weapon, shadows, pistol, shotgun, automatic, rifle, gun, guns, katana, sword, fight, fighting, attack, ammo, bullets
Weapon Manipulation: Hairo's shadows contain a countless number of weapons, ranging from pistols and shotguns, to automatic and bolt-action rifles , even containing a Gatling gun. He also utilized explosives such as timed bombs, dynamite, and Molotov cocktails. His melee weapon consisted of a large katana. He can command these to fire at will, whether it be from his own body or from shadows he has sent out in the environment as traps, or even from the shadow wolves he creates. However, these guns are real and not mystical, having a significant but limited amount of ammunition. Thus if he runs out of bullets, the guns become useless.

#8Techniques

Keys: shadow, shadows, wolf, wolves, fighting, attack, blood demon art, technique

Capture Cavity (鹵獲腔 Rokaku-Kō?) These techniques involve shaping his shadows into wolf-like entities and using his countless supply of weapons to attack his targets.

Shadow Wolves (影狼 Kagerō?) - Hairo creates multiple shadowy wolves from his blood that emanate from his cloak, these wolves have the same vortex effect as his regular shadows and thus can absorb a plethora of physical attacks and make them exceptionally hard to kill. These wolves can also conjure guns and other weapons.
Warwolf of Horror (戰禍陣狼 Senka Jinrō?) - Hairo gathers all his shadows to him and cloaks himself in them, transforming into a large shadowy wolf standing on its hind legs, akin to a werewolf.
