Kaji Misaki

**Kaji Misaki** is the replacement hashira for Kyojuro Rengoku. He is the current hashira of Flame of the demon slayer corps. Despite him wearing blue clothes, he is the flame hashira.

## Appearance

**Kaji** is a young man with above average height and a muscular yet lean build. He has short black hair with misty blue highlights, with two bangs on either side of his face which are nose-length. He has narrow, cat-like amber eyes and thick eyebrows. He has pale complexion and wears a singular cloth earring on his left ear.

He wears a blue tinted version of the normal demon slayer uniform, which is slightly looser and baggier then usual. Instead of a belt, he has a white rope tied around his waist which acts as a belt, and wears a pair of blue tinted hakama pants. Atop this he wears a black haori, with a blue flame pattern all around the bottom of the haoir. He wears a pair of black kyahan with the design of blue flames erupting from the bottom. He wears a pair of black zori with pale blue straps.

## Personality

Just like his attire, Kaji tends to be an awfully sad and quiet person. Due to the loss of his mother form a young age, he was brought up with the beliefs that the strong have to protect the weak, which is something he holds close to himself. The only problem is that he sees himself as a mere replacement for Rengoku, with no real talent of strengths.

Due to his pessimistic nature, he is constantly overlooked and caste aside, even when he needs help. He is constantly overlooked at hashira meetings, everyone brushing him aside due to him simply being a replacement. The word replacement is constantly thrown at him to the point where he developed social anxiety, so severe to the point where he out right runs away from his fellow hashira simply because he doesn't want to talk.

Due to his nature, he is also quite logical and calm. Since his only real emotion is sadness, he is constantly in a state of utter calmness when fighting, allowing him to make logical based choices, not emotional based choices. Despite this, he has a very strong sense of justice and will not hesitate to protect people, even showing his kind and gentle side to children whom were attacked by demons.

He tends to he a quite airheaded person as well, tending to pay little attention to the things around him and hyperfocus on the most captivating thing, which in most cases is either the clouds or the moon, which he finds very cool. He tends to just sit down in the middle of fights, distracted by watching the moon or clouds.

He also clearly suffers from the inferiority complex, seeing himself as far weaker then any of the other hashira, when in reality he is better then them. He mainly suffers from this due to the constant comparisons to Rengoku, none in a good manner. He is constantly compared to Rengoku in a horrible way, often called 'replacement' and worse then Rengoku ever was.

## Equipment

**Standard Nichirin Katana:** Kaji has a standard size Nichirin Katana that he uses for combat. The katana's hilt is black itself, with white and blue cloth wrapped around it for grip, and a small keychain at the end of the handle. At the end of the keychain is a small locket, which contains a picture of him and Rengoku, from when Rengoku was alive. His katana's handguard takes the shape of a plume of smoke, with a golden outline. His blade is black and blue, with the blue part in a flame-like pattern across the edge.

His katana is sheathed neatly in his dark blue and black sheath, with a blue bow wrapped around the center of it. His sheath is tucked neatly in between his belt and waist.
