Muichiro Tokito is one of the most fascinating characters in the popular anime and manga series, Demon Slayer. He is also known as the Mist Hashira, and his backstory is one of the most tragic in the series. The 14-year-old Hashira is the central character in Season 3’s Swordsmith Village Arc, and fans have the opportunity to witness his character development as the anime progresses.
At first glance, Muichiro appears cold and uncaring, but behind his aloof personality lies a complex and mysterious past that has left fans eager to uncover the depths of his character. Despite his awkward and unaccommodating personality, Muichiro is a prodigy in the Demon Slayer Corps, earning the rank of Hashira in just two months of training. However, there is much more to him than just his impressive combat skills.
Muichiro debuted in Chapter 44 of the manga and Episode 21 of the anime during the Master of the Mansion portion of the Rehabilitation Training Arc. During a trial led by all the Hashira, he appeared disinterested, even as the lives of the Kamado siblings hung in the balance. It wasn’t until Episode 49 of the anime that fans got a glimpse into the tragic past of the Mist Hashira.
Before he joined the Demon Slayer Corps, Muichiro lived a simple life with his twin brother, Yuichiro, and their parents. However, everything changed when their mother fell ill, and their father left to find medicinal herbs. Sadly, the situation only worsened when their father never returned, falling off a cliff during a storm and devastating the family.
The loss of their parents had a profound impact on both brothers, but while Muichiro remained optimistic, Yuichiro developed a bleak and selfish outlook on life. He believed that helping others would only lead to trouble and pushed this philosophy onto Muichiro.
When Ubuyashiki Kagaya’s wife, Amane, offered to recruit the twins into the Demon Slayer Corps, Muichiro was excited at the prospect of becoming a powerful swordsman and helping others. However, Yuichiro opposed the idea as he was only interested in keeping himself and his brother alive in a world that he saw as cruel and unforgiving.
Tragedy struck the Tokito brothers once again when they were attacked by a demon while sleeping in their cabin. Yuichiro fought valiantly to protect Muichiro, but the demon’s fatal blow left him severely injured.
In a fit of rage, Muichiro summoned all his strength to take on the demon single-handedly, fighting through the night until sunrise. When the demon finally turned to ash, Muichiro returned to the cabin to find Yuichiro near death, praying for his twin’s survival.
In his final moments, Yuichiro revealed the meaning behind the ‘Mu’ in Muichiro’s name — infinity — and held onto his brother’s hand as he passed away.
The experience left a lasting impact on Muichiro, shaping him into the complex character we know in the series. Muichiro’s strength as a Demon Slayer comes from his heritage. He is directly related to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the strongest Demon Slayer ever and the first creator of Breathing Styles. Yoriichi is the only man Muzan Kabutsuki fears, and this hatred drives him to wipe out the Demon Slayer Corp and kill anyone wearing hanafuda earrings.
