Hideyoshi Ubuyashiki

**Hideyoshi Ubuyashiki** (産屋敷 秀吉, *Ubuyashiki Hideyoshi*?) is a major character in *Kimetsu no Yaiba Reishoki: Sengoku Tales*. He was the 35th Oyakata-sama of the entire Demon Slayer Corps history and the Oyakata that led during the Golden Age of Demon Slayers.

At some point in time in the year 1455, he was beheaded by a recently demonized Michikatsu Tsugikuni, now Kokushibo, and his head was brought to Muzan Kibutsuji.

## Etymology

Hideyoshi's surname, Ubuyashiki, contains the kanji for "bear, give birth to" (産, *ubu*?), "house, shop" (屋, *ya*?) and "spread" (敷, *shiki*?). His first name contains the kanji for "beautiful, elegant, excellent, handsome" (秀, *hide*?), and "luck" (吉, *yoshi*?).

## Appearance

Like his descendant, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Hideyoshi has light skin and black shoulder length hair parted down the middle of his forehead. His curse mark is smaller than his Taisho Era counterpart's, only appearing on the left of his forehead and spreading down his face at a much slower rate than Kagaya's mark, making him able to see clearly. Also like Kagaya, Hideyoshi is also described as having the smile of a Buddha.

He wears a plain black kimono secured with a tan-colored braided obi over a white juban. His also wears a white calf-length haori with a unique design of gradient flames of the colors purple and salmon pink rising from the hem up to the half of the sleeves.

## Personality

Hideyoshi's personality is similar to Kagaya's. But sometimes he can show disdain and disgust to something like betrayal. During the time Kokushibo was about to behead him, he told the Upper Rank that he (Hideyoshi) didn't show have any hatred or anger to Kokushibo and hoped that the gods spare him with a mild punishment the day he goes to hell, an action and sentence that caught Kokushibo off guard as he wondered why the Oyakata didn't hate him immediately, and only showed him pity.

## Abilities

### Overall Abilities

**Soothing Voice:** Hideyoshi possesses the ability to put others at ease just by the tone of his voice and rhythm of his actions. In modern times, this attribute is called 1/F Fluctuation, and is said to be possessed by many charismatic people and have the strength of presence to move mass audiences.

### Supernatural Abilities

**Foresight:** Hideyoshi (and the rest of the Ubuyashiki family) possess a heightened level of foresight that helps them avoid disastrous situations and amassed them a great amount of wealth and fortune. Due to this instinct, Kazuya accurately made several guesses about multiple things that were eventually proven to be true and accurate without him knowing any prior information, as seen when he accurately predicted that the betrayal of their third-strongest will lead to their strongest Demon Slayer being banished from the Corps, and that action will lead to the deaths of many people who were almost as strong and as capable as their strongest. This was proved true when Kokushibo killed him, when Yoriichi was banished and when Kokushibo and Muzan later began killing all individuals who knew Sun Breathing.

## Trivia

* After Hideyoshi's death in the hands of Kokushibo, the incident caused the Corps to put extreme effort in hiding the residence of future leaders. This event was also the one that caused the Kakushi to be formed.
