Hajime Homura, is the Crow Demon, and a member of the Twelve Kizuki, having held the position "Upper Rank Five" after Gyokko's death.

## Appearance

Hajime is noted to be extremely handsome, even more handsome than Seikuro Yukiame. He possesses an extremely tall figure, and is seen to always smile. He possesses mesmerizing scarlet red eyes, alongside scarlet red hair. His eyes possess the kanji for Upper 5, which is etched into his iris. He possesses an extra eye, on his forehead.

He wears a golden kimono, with crow-like designs. His kimono is oversized, to avoid letting his opponents notice his attacks. His obi is rather dark orange in color, and he is always seen holding long needles. His kimono also possesses several star-like designs, and lines.

## Personality

Hajime is an outgoing person, with a bubbly and nonchalant demeanor. He is described as cheerful and easygoing. This made him get along with Doma well. However, this was a remembrance of his brothers and a facade. He can be rather two-faced, as he tends to deceive others for his own personal gain, and can put a outgoing and harmless facade. He is also rather relaxed and laidback, which tends to annoy both Akaza and Muzan.

However, he speaks formally with them both, but still remains his nonchalant attitude. He is also rather easygoing. He is also very patient, as seen when he tolerated and hid his rage. He is also rather caring towards his allies, such as when he was shocked about the deaths of Gyutaro and Daki, as well as the death of Doma. Additionally, Hajime is very bold and fearless, as seen when he fought Toshiaki Watanabe, and was persistent.

He hates those who are thrilled in a fight, such as Akaza's battle-crazed attitude. He tends to take fighting very seriously, and is willing to do anything to make sure he wins. Thus, he uses his full power, and concentration, and does not care to compliment opponents.

Despite this bubbly demeanor, Hajime hates women, treating women with an extreme sense of hatred and disgust, due to his human life. His hatred is so extreme, that he is fully capable of killing them with second thoughts but cares immensely for his allies, whether woman or not. This may be due to his past in the Edo Period, and a result of his harsh and abusive upbringing, by women.

Hajime is very much remorseful and horrified by the fact that he was forced to hand over a child, to Fuma. He finds Fuma to be very merciless, and terrifying, even going as far to bow down to him and avoid contact with him. Unlike Doma, Hajime is not sadistic, and quickly kills humans. However, the only reason Hajime gives humans painless deaths, is because he doesn’t want to waste time on making them suffer. Despite this, Hajime turns sadistic, and full of bloodlust towards females, which he is seen laughing at them facing deaths. He was also revelling in Hisui, Mizuki, and Mirai's suffering.

Hajime has hesitated to even respect a woman. Additionally, he is cruel, and unkind towards demon slayers, and is not above using psychological damage to gain the upper-hand. He has found the fact that Mirai was a demon slayer, and a female, utterly detestable. However, he will spare children, due to believing they are innocent, unless the child was a Demon Slayer.
