Haruhi Tokito

**Haruhi Tokito** (*時任ハルヒ* *Tokitō Haruhi*) is a major supporting character of *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba*. She is a Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Corps and the current Star Hashira (*星柱* *Hoshi Bashira*).

## Appearance

Haruhi is a young girl of short stature with a lean muscular build along with long, straight hair of a black color that fades to a light pink as it approaches her waist tied with a cyan butterfly pin gifted to her by her mother. She wears her hair loose with two clumps protruding slightly from each side of her head, a set of marginally shorter hair left down to frame her face, a long messy hair covering her left eye, and unruly bangs over her forehead. She also possesses large, empty-looking eyes with long eye lashes, a large scar over her left eye and a small scar over her right bottom chin. Her left eye is currently blind because of an accident happened when she was twelve. She is slightly identical in appearance to her younger twin brothers, Yuichiro and Muichiro Tokito.

Haruhi wears a dark pink standard Demon Slayer uniform with gold button and a short pleated skirt in place of the usual tattsuke-hakama pants. Her uniform has longer, looser sleeves that are more reminiscent of those of a kimono than of the standard cuffed uniform. Along with this, the lack of bands of cloth wrapped around her calves gives her uniform an overall loose and sizable appearance. She used to wear a white haori but it got burned while fighting a demon. Kyojuro Rengoku, who realized that her haori got burned, gifted her another one by telling her it's an appreciation. After Rengoku's death, she kept it in her closet so that she won't burn it again.

## Personality

Haruhi has a kind and sweet nature, yet she doesn't show emotions due to her brother Muichiro not showing those same emotions. She has a very deep and immense respect for all of those around her, caring deeply about their safety and constantly wondering if she can protect them.

She is deeply cared about by those around her, mostly by her fellow Hashira as well as the members of the Butterfly Mansion. Due to her kind and gentle nature, that makes her a very likeable person, allowing her to easily make friends with the other slayers. The only person whom does not outright show their personal liking for Haruhi is Sanemi Shinazugawa, with the two of them constantly getting into fights over the most nonsense of reasons. However deep down, Sanemi truly does care for her.

She is a very confident person, not overconfident but she has plenty of confidence in her stunning abilities as a Hashira to be able to get the job done and protect everyone around her. She is widely accepted for her skill and dedication, making her an amazing Hashira.

## Abilities

### Overall Abilities

Despite her young age in comparison to her Hashira brethren, Haruhi is an incredibly talented, powerful and skilled member of the Demon Slayer Corps, who was noted by the Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku to be more skilled than she was at her age, gifting her a Haori as an appreciation. Even before becoming a Demon Slayer, she was able to completely overpower a demon using a huge stone. She has the astounding feat of becoming a Hashira a mere four months after picking up a sword, a feat that would normally take five years of training for the average person and at best two years, which earned her the praise of the Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka. After gaining her Demon Slayer Mark, her fighting prowess was commended by Kokushibo, the most powerful member of the Twelve Kizuki, and played a major role in the Upper Rank's defeat in spite of losing her left ear and her left arm.

### Demon Slayer Abilities

**Demon Slayer Mark:** During her battle against Kokushibo, Haruhi's body reached the requirements to unlock the Demon Slayer Mark, which manifests as pink star on her face. While the mark is active, her vitality, speed, flexibility and strength are greatly enhanced, to the point where she was capable of singlehandedly overwhelming and killing Upper Rank One of the Twelve Kizuki. Due to the mark being activated, losing her left arm and ear didn't affect her during the battle.

**Bright Red Nichirin Sword**: During her battle against Kokushibo, Haruhi dyed her Nichirin Sword a bright red color by gripping it with all her might, allowing her to hamper the regeneration of Kokushibo, which later proved to play a pivotal role in his defeat. Later in the fight against Muzan, Haruhi, learning from the previous encounter of Sanemi and Gyomei, forcefully clashes her sword together with Giyu's and Sanemi's turning all of their blades temporarily red. Turning her blade red granted her the ability to hamper the instantaneous regeneration of Muzan which proved effective in the battle.

**Transparent World**: Haruhi obtained the ability to see the Transparent World during the midst of her battle against Muzan, which allowed her to see the Muzan's twelve vital organs (seven hearts and five brains) for a split-second after Gyomei instructed everyone to attempt to do so.

### Physical Abilities

**Immense Speed and Reflexes:** Due to her abnormally small size, Haruhi is insanely fast. Her small size allows her to quickly dodge and parry enemy attacks without any struggle, which is a major advantage during fights. She is able to effortlessly weave in between attacks and quickly attack her opponent, catching them off guard and damaging them without gaining any damage to herself. She is able to dodge countless different strikes from Kokushibo, as well as use her small size and speed to protect her fellow Hashira, protecting herself and the others fighting the massive Demon. Her speed is even noted by Kokushibo, complementing her and actually surprising himself during their fight.

**Enhanced Flexibility:** Haruhi has been noted to have an extremely flexible body, allowing her to achieve a wide range of motion. Haruhi is the second Hashira to have an incredible flexible body, first being Kanroji Mitsuri. Haruhi has incorporated her innate flexibility into her Star Breathing techniques, successfully using it to outpace and counterattack Kokushibo's techniques without much trouble.

**Immense Stamina & Endurance**: Like all the other Hashira, Haruhi possesses an inhuman amount of both stamina and endurance, allowing her to keep fighting past the point where normal humans would have passed out due to exhaustion. She is even able to continue fighting despite having both her left arm and ear cut off and destroyed, not showing a singular sign of pain from getting them ripped off. She is able to continue the massive fight against Kokushibo, and even fight at equal grounds against him for several minutes whilst her fellow Hashira were recovering. She was so good to the point where Kokushibo noticed her endurance and complemented her on it, as well as her speed.

## Fighting Style

**Master Swordswoman:** As a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Haruhi is one of the most powerful and skilled swordswomen in the entire organization. Despite her young age, Haruhi's swordsmanship impressed even the likes of Kokushibo, the strongest swordsman of the current era who has lived for nearly 30 times longer than she has.

### Breathing Style

Star Breathing (星の呼吸 *Hoshi no kokyū*): A Breathing Style Haruhi created herself and mastered it. Star Breathing incorporates elements of Haruhi's superhuman flexibility. Her skill with this Breathing Style impressed Kokushibo, who implied that his proficiency in this swordsmanship style was beyond his expectations. Moreover, Haruhi wears loose and oversized clothes that hide her limbs from her enemy's line of sight to obscure her movements when using Star Breathing, further improving the potency of this Breathing Style.

## Equipment

**Standard Nichirin Katana:** Haruhi carries around a standard sized and shaped Nichirin katana that is white in color (shown sometimes to have a light pink color in the anime). As a Hashira, Haruhi's katana has the words **Destroyer of Demons** ( *Akki Messatsu*) engraved on the blade. Her katana's handguard is a lavender and purple star. Along with her katana, Haruhi also carries a standard sword sheath that is dark purple in color.

During the final battle against Muzan, she loses her katana and is thrown another by Tomioka Giyu which supposedly belonged to a deceased Water Breathing Demon Slayer that had a deep blue blade and a bronze-coloured handguard which resembled a whirlpool in appearance.
