## Appearance

Kasumi is a small girl, who does not look very strong or powerful. She is around 5 feet tall, which is much shorter then the average for a 14 year old girl. She is fair skinned with long, straight hair of a black color that fades to pale turquoise as it approaches her waist. She wears her hair loose with two clumps protruding slightly from each side of her head, a set of marginally shorter hair left down to frame her face, and unruly bangs over her forehead. Across her forehead is a long black burn scar, which she got in her childhood. She wears a silver neckless, with a small heart at the edge. In the middle of the heart is a small diamond engraved into it. Her eyes are like that of a cat, and they are a light lavender with black slits down the center.

She wears a teal tinted version of the normal Demon Slayer Uniform, which is very oversized. It is so oversized to the point that the sleeves resemble more of that of a kimono, then the cuffed ones of the hashira outfit. She does not wear any straps around her legs, allowing her oversized hakama pants to be left untouched. This gives the uniform an overall loose and sizeable appearance. Around her waist, she wears a white belt with black buckles. She wears a pair of white tabi socks, as well as a pair of black zori with dark teal straps.

During the Hashira Meeting, Kasumi is shown to be wearing a light pink Haori over her uniform, which was given to her as a gift from Rengoku as a sign of respect. After Rengokus death she stops wearing it and insteat keeps it in a protective casing in her room to protect it and keep Rengokus memory alive.

## Personality

She is a slightly air-headed person, tending to wander off in thought and is fascinated by the things around her more than the things that are actively going on to her. She has major focus issues and cannot focus on anything for more than five minutes at a time, her eyes and mind tending to wander off to Birds or Clouds in the area. She doesn't care much for that happens around her or to her, giving her a slightly apathetic look. Despite this, she is not apathetic one bit and cares about those around her. She is a highly logical person, rarely letting her emotions take control.

Despite her manner, Kasumi is a somewhat childish and a very playful person, often times playing pranks on her fellow hashira and friends. She also tends to sneak attack her comrades to keep them on their toes and make them more alert. This is the main reason why people like her so much, simply because she is a fun person to hang around. Despite her childish nature, she is still very respectful when needed to be.

It is clear that she suffers from the inferiority complex, seeing herself as worse than Muichiro. She sees her self as inferior to the other hashira, simply due to her size which is also her biggest insecurity. She is deeply sad and troubled by life itself and constantly wonders if she is strong enough to protect those around her. She is immensely sad, but she is amazing at hiding her true feelings.

## Abilities

### Overall Abilities

As the overall youngest Hashira and Demon Slayer alike, Kasumi possess insane abilities to keep up with the other hashira despite her small size and body. She is a very talented and skilled member of the hashira, whom most underestimate due to her small size and apparent weak physique. She was noted to be stronger then the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku and was called stronger then him by Kyojuro Rengoku himself. She holds the astounding feat of becoming a demon slayer after a sole two months of training, becoming a hashira at the same exact time as Muichiro Tokito. That earned her the praise of even Gyomei Himejima, complementing her for her astounding abilities and noticing her insane potential. She is still weaker then her twin, Muichiro Tokito, but that is simply due to her weak body.

During her solo battle against Akaza in the Infinity Castle, Akaza, being one of the strongest demons to ever live, complemented Kasumi and offered to turn her into a demon like he did with Kyojuro Rengoku. He praised Kasumi countless times during the fight, telling her how much more powerful she has become since the last time he saw her fight. Akaza also stated that Kasumi herself is growing so powerful and skilled, to the point where she might just surpass her brother Muichiro.

**Indomitable Will:** Kasumi possesses an undauntable will to fight and protect those around her, allowing her to preform insane feats such as fighting alone against Akaza and fighting on equal ground against him. Ever since she was young she always had a dedication to protect those weaker then her, seeing how she stood up against the strongest kids in the area who were bullying someone who was even younger then she was. She was able to easily beat all of them, considering she has a natural talent for fighting. This allows her to fight on equal ground as Upper Rank Three, Akaza and even manages to kill him with the help of Tanjiro Kamado and Giyu Tomioka. Her will to protect those in danger is so strong, to the point where she cuts off her own arm just to save Giyu Tomioka from getting his skull crushed by Akaza. Cutting off her own arm gave her flashbacks to when Muichiro Tokito told her how their older twin got his arm cut off to protect Muichiro Tokito, which gave her the final boost of strength that she needed to be able to continue fighting and eventually kill Akaza.

### Demon Slayer Abilities

**Demon Slayer Mark:** During her fight against Akaza, alongside Giyu Tomioka and Tanjiro Kamado, she awakens her demon slayer mark. She is pinned against a wall, her left arm the only thing that is keeping her there. She witnesses Akaza get ready to kill Giyu Tomioka, and she snaps. She awakens her mark due to the immense heat inside her body, her mark forming as a white and black cloud on her neck. Using that strength, she cuts off her own arm to free herself and save Giyu. Her mark gives increases her strength, speed and flexibility greatly increase, allowing her to overwhelm Akaza and manage to kill him.

**Bright Red Nichirin Sword:** Despite only having one arm left, she grips her katana with such strength that it turns a bright red, making Akaza's regeneration be hindered, and in turn massively helping in his defeat.

### Physical Abilities

**Immense Speed & Reflexes:** Due to her small size, Kasumi is astoundingly fast. Her small size is the sole thing that makes people underestimate her, and it is the one thing that makes her such a formidable foe in combat. Her small size allows her to move freely and quickly, outpacing even Muichiro Tokito and Sanemi Shinazugawa, which is also noted by Gyomei Himejima and even Akaza, each complementing her due to how quick and fast she is, allowing her to easily maneuver out of the way of countless attacks and preform quick counterattacks to harm her opponents. She is able to do this very well against Akaza, dodging countless of his attacks and being able to nimbly and quickly preform strong counterattacks to injure him, using her abnormal body size to her benefit.

**Immense Stamina & Endurance:** Despite her small size, Kasumi has immense stamin & endurance, allowing her to fight against that of the strongest demons ever. She knows how to ignore and take pain very well, which allows her solely focus on the fight at hand and not pay much attention to her wounds which in turn allows her to catch her opponents by surprise after she gets a supposedly fatal injury. During the Swordsmith Village Arc, she was able to keep all the clones of Hantengu at bay by herself without much of a struggle, which was before they fused into Zohakuten. After they fused she began to struggle but kept fighting, eventually passing out after her and Mitsuri Kanroji managed to decapitate Zohakuten and Tanjiro Kamado beheading the main body of Hantengu.

As well as that, she is able to fight against Akaza after cutting off her own arm with her mark, which both gave her the ability to face off against him and fight him on equal ground, valiantly defending Giyu Tomioka and Tanjiro Kamado. Despite sustaining major injuries like a blinded left eye and a missing arm she kept fighting, acting like nothing had happened to her. She had suffered life threatening injuries yet she just kept fighting no matter what happened to her, showing how insane both her stamina and endurance are.

**Immense Strength:** While not being the strongest person ever, Kasumi Tokito still has strength that is considered unbelievable for her small size and stature. After only spending a couple months training her body she is already at a hashira level of skill, speed and mostly of all: Strength. She is not the strongest hashira, yet she is not the weakest. She is able to keep up with Akaza on several occasions while she is marked, allowing her strength to be on par with that of Akaza. This gives her the ability to push Akaza back during clashes, despite only having one arm left. She has shown to possess the grip strength to be able to hold Akaza down for several seconds, allowing both Giyu Tomioka and Tanjiro Kamado to be able to attack him relentlessly and damage him severally.

## Fighting Style

**Master Swordswoman:** As the youngest Hashira ever, she is a very talented Demon Slayer. Her swordsmanship impressed both Hantengu and Akaza alike, and Akaza even states that she is the strongest Hashira he has ever fought. Despite saying that, Akaza is wrong. Yes, she is very talented and strong, but her lack of experience makes her fall way short from the other hashira. She is the 5th strongest hashira in the corps aside from, Gyomei, Sanemi, Giyu and Muichiro,

### Breathing Style

**Mist Breathing** (の *Kasumi no kokyū*?): A breathing style that Kasumi learned from Muichiro himself, and she is the second most skilled user due to Muichiro being the best. She is so skilled that she has made several forms for herself, as well as she learned Muichiros 7th form. The style impressed Akaza, stating that she is so skilled that he thinks that she might be more skilled than Muichiro.
