**Yoshimi Shizuoka** is a major supporting characters of ***Oni no Hokai : Demon Fall.***

He is a Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Corps and he is the current ***Wind Hashira***

## Appearance

Yoshimi is a tall young man of a muscular stature and pale complexion, who is almost always seen wearing a serious and emotionless expression. He has messy pale green hair of uneven lengths that sticks up in tufts around his head, His bangs fall over his eyes in an uneven fringe. His eyes are sharp and moderately large, their irises a deep sapphire that fades to a lighter green and their pupils a greenish-black, and are framed by thin eyebrows.

Yoshimi wears a dark green-tinted version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform with buttoned white leg-wrapped kyahan and a pair of white zōri with white straps, the socks underneath the same dark green color as his uniform. Over this, Yoshimi wears a haori that's split down the middle into two different patterns: the right one is a red color with a white stripe pattern, and the left one is a solid white. These haoris were later noted to have belonged to his late older sister, Miyako Shizuoka, and his deceased friend Kazaba.

## Personality

Yoshimi appears to have a complex with what others think of him and is shocked when Kasumi Yamagasui claims he is hated by many. Besides that however, he doesn't seem to be hurt by Kasumi’s other pokes, even ignoring her. Despite that, they are in fact decent friends with a good amount of history together. He is a man of very few words and has trouble interacting with others, so he usually keeps himself at a distance. He even goes out of his way to tell Abagi that he hates talking, and wants to keep his name to himself, as he thinks names are not meant to be shared, especially to demons. It is revealed later on that Yoshimi suffers from an inferiority complex which he developed since his participation in the Final Selection. It gets severe to the point where he contemplates abandoning his position as the Wind Hashira until Kazetaro helps him realize that instead of acting on his survivor's guilt, he should cherish his life and live on for the people who sacrificed their lives for him.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** As a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Yoshimi is a very powerful and skilled swordsman and combatant. He also fought equally against fellow Hashira Kaiten in a sparring match. Yoshimi was also shown easily beating dozens of demons equal to that of the Lower Ranks of the 12 Kizuki. Yoshimi is also an incredible teammate able to grasp their intentions and work in tandem with it. During his fight against Abagi, Upper Rank Three, he was able to hold on his own for some time and like Yasuo, Abagi is amazed by Yoshimi’s skills to the point that he offers to transform the Hashira into demon, something Abagi only asks of the most worthy of his opponents.

**Immense Speed & Reflexes:** Yoshimi possesses inhuman speed and reflexes, He was also able to keep up with Upper Rank Three, Abagi, who is one of the fastest demons in existence and when he awakened his mark, Yoshimi managed to out-speed him several times and appeared to "teleport" even to Abagi. Yoshimi also managed to evade many of Akuryo’s attacks and negate them with ***Calm Wind***.

**Immense Stamina & Endurance:** Due to extremely harsh training, Giyu has attained incredible stamina and endurance. In his Battle Against Abagi, he managed to continue fighting even after sustaining dozens of injuries all over his body, severely weakening him, a feat which pleasantly surprised Abagi. In the Final Battle, Yoshimi managed to hold off Akuryo despite being initially inflicted with his Bone Shuriken Blade.

**Immense Strength:** As a Hashira, Yoshimi has honed his physical strength to superhuman levels. In his Spin-Off, he could break extremely strong ropes tied around his wrists with ease while nonchalantly talking to Kasumi Yamagasui. He could also turn his Nichirin Sword bright red through sheer force with the assistance of Kaiten, a feat which requires an absurd amount of grip strength to accomplish.

**Indomitable Will:** Yoshimi possesses an undaunted will and indomitable will, never giving up despite suffering numerous injuries against Abagi, one of the strongest demons in existence and later on the Demon King, Akuryo. Even when losing his arm, he still remained steadfast and managed to play an important role in defeating Akuryo.

### Wind Breathing
