Akaza

* Demon
* Human

**Akaza** (猗 (あ) 窩 (か) 座 (ざ) , *Akaza*?) is the main focus of *Kimetsu no Yaiba: Frostblade*. He is a demon affiliated with the Demon Slayer Corps, taking down Muzan Kibutsuji's demons independently and occasionally helping Demon Slayers with their missions.

During the Edo period, he went by the name of **Hakuji Soyama** (素 (そ) 山 (やま)  狛 (はく) 治 (じ) , *Soyama Hakuji*?) and went on missions together with his fiancée, Koyuki Soyama. Some time after both Koyuki and Shiko passed away, he changed his name to Akaza, for a reason that's currently unknown.

## Appearance

Akaza takes the appearance of a young adult man with a very muscular build. His hair is a vibrant pinkish red, sharing the same hue as his eyebrows and fuzzy eyelashes . His scleras are light blue with a pattern similar to cracked glass, while his eyes shine a wonderful amber, the kanji for “Upper Rank” (上 (じょう)  弦 (げん) , *Jōgen*?) and the daiji for “Three” (参 (さん) , *San*?) etched into the left and right ones respectively. His unnaturally pale skin contrasts with the dark navy stripes lining it, covering his whole figure.

His face has seven, all of which emerging from his hairline — three of them curved towards the ear on each side, with an additional line going through the middle all the way to the bridge of his nose. On his torso, one line goes 2/3 of the way down the middle. Two pairs are present on his chest, forming shapes similar to equals signs on each side, and three more similarly positioned pairs sit at each side of his abs. He also has a pair of bands wrapping around his neck, which are connected to the middle torso stripe, as well as another pair of bands on each upper arm. All the bands are connected by a pair of lines going down each arm which stop just before his hands, as well as another pair going up each arm and reconnecting at the torso. His fingers and toes are blue too, complementing his red nails.

He wears a standard martial arts outfit with kanji for **Soryuu** (素 (そ)  流 (りゅう) , *Soryū*?), the martial arts style Keizou taught him, on the back of it. He doesn't wear any footwear, though, as he prefers to go barefoot.

As a human, Akaza had an incredibly similar appearance. Instead of pink, his hair was black and his eyelashes were duller; and instead of yellow, his eyes were a regular light blue. He sported the same martial arts uniform back then, though he also wore a couple different outfits at times.

## Trivia

* Thanks to Koyuki teaching Akaza how to take off/put on his bamboo, he is able to do so whenever he wants.
	+ Akaza generally only uses the bamboo during missions, where he will likely encounter human remains or bloodshed. This is to prevent himself from somehow losing control and feeding on the humans instead of helping them.
* Akaza is able to use his ability to sense the weak spots of his enemies to check for serious injuries that a regular human wouldn't be able to see. He used this technique on Tanjirou Kamado to help Kyoujurou Rengoku look for any other wounds after the battle against Enmu.
* Akaza is much less stronger than he was in the canon because he isn't a Twelve Kizuki member here. Though, he is still quite powerful, as he was given a lot of blood by Muzan when he was turned.
* Despite being more similar to Nezuko Kamado in role, Akaza's biology is more like Tamayo and Yushirou's, needing to live off of small amounts of blood instead of being able to sleep to gain energy.
	+ Akaza is still able to sleep and does so to pass time, but otherwise it doesn't give him any benefit.
* Akaza and Koyuki were never officially married and will never be able to since Akaza is a demon, so they matched last names in a sort of silly unofficial marriage way.
* Akaza liked visiting the garden pond behind the dojo with Shiko, and later with Koyuki too after she became healthy enough.
* Akaza's memory of the past is a little foggy, due to his strange demonification process. He was supposed to forget everything when he became a demon, but since Tamayo detached Muzan's control on Akaza in the middle of the transformation, only part of his past was forgotten.
* Akaza viewed the current era Hashira as follows.
