* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Poor Yoriichi goes through these.
** [[spoiler:Not telling his family Akeno had an illness that led to her death. To be fair, he never talks because he believes his father's talk of being an omen to their family so he wanted to protect his family. Plus, this also led to Michikatsu hating him because of how special he actually was.]]
** [[spoiler:When Uta was in her last stage of pregnancy, he went to fetch a midwife but stopped to help bring an old man to see his deceased son. When he came back at night, Uta and their unborn child were killed by a demon, meaning if he didn't stop to help the old man he probably could have prevented his wife and child's deaths.]]

* PassingTheTorch: [[spoiler:It can be seen that he, as an over-80-year-old man, no longer had the hanafuda earrings. By that point, he had already passed his will on to Tanjiro's ancestors. Yoriichi "taught" Sumiyoshi by proxy the Sun Breathing Style when he humored the latter's wife Suyako's desire to see him practice once again, then passed his earrings to them after that. Sumiyoshi pledged to pass the earrings and Sun Breathing down his family line out of gratitude for saving his life.]]

There’s an actual trope for that, so your research before resorting to your personal fantasies.

While this wouldn't be much of a big deal, it is noticeable in the third light novel where Tecchin, Kozo, and Kotetsu attempt to set Hotaru up on a date, only for him to frankly reject his date when she tried to convince him to stop making swords.

\\\
Yoriichi was the creator
of the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, foundation of all Breathing teachings, later labeled as Sun Breathing. His special body condition with affinity towards its techniques made Yoriichi the first Demon Slayer to have capabilities beyond human perception, and her assistants. A large manor with that serves as a hospital and training he taught others what he could do, albeit none at the time could fully replicate him, thus all other Breathing styles were born.
\\\
He is technically the reason for the establishment of the Hashira rankings since it is revealed that the hierarchy within the Demon Slayer Corps was put into
place for Demon Slayers.thanks to Yoriichi demonstrating the power gaps between the Slayers.



* AmazonBrigade: Kanae, Shinobu, Kanao, and Aoi are all certified Demon Slayers.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: With the exception of Kanao who was rescued from her {{AbusiveParents}}, the girls living in the estate have all lost their families to due demons. Despite this they hard-working supportive girls, and although Aoi is [[{{Tsundere}} a bit rough around the edges]], they are all easy to get along with.
* OrphanageOfLove: Unconventionally, but Kanao, Aoi, Sumi, Kiyo, and Naho were orphaned or otherwise abandoned by their parents and taken in by the Butterfly Estate, living and working there in exchange for room and board.
* SignatureHeadgear: All the women and girls of the Butterfly Estate wear brightly colored butterfly-shaped hairpins or hairclips.

to:

* AmazonBrigade: Kanae, Shinobu, Kanao, AccidentalHero: [[spoiler:Yoriichi never tried to tutor Sumiyoshi on Sun Breathing intentionally. During their time together, Yoriichi felt like a worthless person; he only showed all his Sun Breathing techniques to the Kamado's ancestors solely on Suyako's request because she found his techniques pretty to look at, so every time Yoriichi visited them Suyako would ask him to display his art. Sumiyoshi, however, felt that Yoriichi wasn't worthless at all: he believed that he was their hero and Aoi are that he deserved to leave a legacy behind. Thus, Sumiyoshi would use his extreme photographic memory to systematically learn everything Yoriichi could do by just looking at him perform Sun Breathing to them. Yoriichi left Sumiyoshi's family hoping they would live a honest good life with his cherished Hanafuda Earrings to ward evil away and the house that once belonged to him and Uta. He was completely unaware that a secret Sun Breathing legacy was left all certified the way up to Tanjiro Kamado, to potentially end what he started: the quest for Muzan's death]].
* AllLovingHero: Though Yoriichi had a hard time expressing it, he held all human life to be sacred. He was often willing to put his own life on the line in order to help other people and even became a
Demon Slayers.
Slayer to prevent Muzan and his demons from destroying innocent lives. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Destroying that sanctity was a good way to earn Yoriichi's ire.]] He didn't see all demons as evil things that he needed to kill though. Right after he fought Muzan, Yoriichi noticed Tamayo was not a threat and managed to console her when she was crying due to Muzan's escape.
* HeartwarmingOrphan: With AmbiguousSituation:
** The story behind
the exception sword inside Yoriichi Type Zero is not made entirely clear in the series proper, the design of Kanao the handle, hilt and blade differ slightly from the sword Yoriichi uses throughout all his appearances, however, the blade is definitely meant for Sun Breathing users since Tanjiro felt it fit him perfectly, and the blade has the "Metsu" engraving that only Yoriichi's blade had, also Haganezuka remarks how amazing the blade is even in its aged state; thus that mysterious blade that is reforged as Tanjiro's final sword is either Yoriichi's sword recycled into a different base hundreds of years ago, or a new sword once meant for Yoriichi but was left as a lingering hope for a future Sun Breathing user instead.
** The narrative never actually gives Yoriichi his official role within the Demon Slayer Corps, He walked among the Hashira of his era like they were his peers but oddly, Yoriichi himself is never referred to as a Hashira. Not even the Databooks bother to further explain that, Yoriichi is always officially referred to as just a demon slayer with no rank attached to his name despite his immeasurable importance at the time for the Corps. Only one curious trivia is mentioned through Goto, the Kakushi Brigade member, that Yoriichi ''inspired'' the creation of the Hashira rank, without ever getting into additional details afterwards, as if this seemly crucial piece of information didn't warrant any further explanation. [[spoiler:Even when he got expelled from the Corps after failing to kill Muzan warranted a mention of his rank being disgraced; Yoriichi is consistently left without a rank attached to his name in all official sources]].
* AnimalLover: Yoriichi's unearthly presence always seemed to attract wild animals, a volume extra shows that when he was a kid large group of animals always gathered around him to be pet and fed by Yoriichi.
* ArchEnemy:
** To [[BigBad Muzan]], full stop. Even after 400 years, the Demon King is still scarred by Yoriichi's nearly successful attempt on his life.
** He's also this to [[spoiler:Muzan's [[TheDragon Dragon, Kokushibo]], who just so happens to be his older twin brother, Michikatsu. It was the latter's jealousy of his power that led him down the path to abandoning his family for strength, ultimately betraying the Demon Slayer Corps to become Muzan's NumberTwo. Yorichii could only respond with sadness as he finds out many years later, forcing himself to fight him close to his final moments]].
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: He gave a series of these to Muzan during their encounter as seen in Muzan's memories through Daki's eyes.
-->'''Yoriichi:''' What do you find so entertaining? What's so amusing about this? What do you take life for, exactly? How can you forget?
* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Yoriichi singlehandedly inspired the Demon Slayer Corps to instill a hierarchy system, thanks to his absurd skills being so far above anyone in his time. The Hashira ranks were put into place thanks to him after his sword was given the unique "Metsu" (Destroy) engraving in its blade. After that, all Hashira swords were to have "Akkimesatsu" (Destroyer of Demons) engraved in the blades.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Due being born with the Demon Slayer Mark, and all abilities that one can awaken after it, Yoriichi saw the world through a different lens than everyone else around him from birth; when he was 7 years old he could fine tune his X-Ray vision, the Transparent World, to first perceive his mother was secretly sickly before the rest of his family could know, could accurately pin-point the perfect places to strike with a wooden sword despite never being formally trained before, only witnessing Michikatsu's training on occasion. In his prime as a Demon Slayer, Yoriichi used his acute vision to perceive all of Muzan's weak points to easily defeat him.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Yoriichi may have been an extremely kind and humble person but he was also the WorldsBestWarrior. Muzan experienced firsthand why you shouldn't anger Yoriichi.
* BigBrotherWorship: [[spoiler:Yoriichi loved and thought very highly of his older twin brother, Michikatsu, because he always treated him kindly in their childhood despite being the privileged heir of their family in contrast to Yoriichi's status as an unwanted child. Even after Michikatsu chose to become the demon, Kokushibo, Yoriichi reflected to Sumiyoshi that his brother was a kind man, and continued to cherish the flute that Michikatsu made for him when they were children. Ironically, Michikatsu also seems to view Yoriichi almost as some sort of god, likening him to "the unequaled sun".]]
* BirthmarkOfDestiny: Yoriichi was ''born'' with a Demon Slayer Mark, something that other powerful characters only awaken in the most life-threatening of situations. The mark also puts incredible strain on the body, but had no negative effects on Yoriichi at all, with him living well into old age despite the mark killing all other users by age 25. The unique nature of Yoriichi's mark is speculated in-universe to have started the spread of the marks to other swordsmen, and his brother believes that it's proof that Yoriichi was "blessed by the gods".
* BornWinner: Yoriichi displayed amazing swordsmanship ever since he was young, even when it was his first time holding a sword. His excellence is never properly explained; he was just born that way.
* BrokenAce: Yoriichi was the single greatest demon slayer in history. Yet he was haunted by his failure to kill Muzan, [[spoiler:his brother becoming a demon and how he could not protect his family from demons]], having been a far sadder man than anyone truly knew.
* ButNowIMustGo: He left Sumiyoshi's home after casually performing all his Sun Breathing techniques on Suyako's request and leaving behind his earrings to continue his fight against Muzan.
* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler: His relationship with Michikatsu, his older brother, wasn't perfect. Especially when Michikatsu harbored envy towards Yoriichi for his invention of Breathing skills. Michikatsu eventually became a man-eating demon and Muzan's right-hand man.]]
* ChildProdigy: [[spoiler:Chapter 177 reveals that Yoriichi was born with the Demon Slayer Mark and that he had improved sight and strength in his everyday life. He learned about swordsmanship from his father's retainer, Ito, very quickly, and swiftly won in their sparring match. He also told Michikatsu that he could see through things, meaning that everything in his vision was transparent to him. He really was a special child in his youth, but he never let that go to his head. Unfortunately, this did make Michikatsu jealous of his talents.]]
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Not long after leaving his family's home at age seven, Yoriichi came across a young girl named Uta who had lost her family to disease, and the two became inseparable friends living together as they had no one else. Ten years after meeting, they became a couple and were expecting a child, [[spoiler:but it ended tragically as both Uta and their unborn child were killed by a demon shortly before the birth while Yoriichi was away searching for someone to assist with the delivery. The loss of his young family was what drove him to join the Demon Slayer Corps and swear revenge against Muzan.]]
* CradleOfLoneliness: [[spoiler: After coming home only to discover his wife and their unborn child had been killed by some demon, Yoriichi held them in his arms for ''10 days''.]] He only stopped when a demon slayer (implied to be Rengoku's ancestor) came and broke him out of his shock enough to give the dead a proper burial.
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Yoriichi dealt one to Muzan. He cut Muzan into pieces almost immediately,
who was rescued unable to fully recover due to the Sun Breathing's stifling effect on his regeneration. He was only able to survive by splitting himself into 1800 pieces and fleeing in terror, and even then Yoriichi was able to slice up 1500 of his pieces instantly. To top it all off, the wounds Yoriichi inflicted have not healed in the centuries since their encounter, acting as a permanent reminder of Muzan's helplessness and terror during that moment.]]
* DentedIron: Yoriichi's skill may have been as sharp as it was during his prime but at over-80 years of age, [[spoiler:his body just could not go any further and Yoriichi passed away before he could deliver the finishing blow to Kokushibo.]]
* DiedStandingUp: Defiant to the end. [[spoiler: As an 80-year-old man, Yoriichi died while trying to put his demon brother out of his misery. He actually seemed to have the upper hand in his final battle, but due to his old age, Yoriichi's body just gave up at the last second, and he died standing with his sword still in hand.]]
* DissonantSerenity: A tame example, but Yoriichi is constantly shown with a flat and impassive expression, with Kokushibo noting that he had never seen him show a hint of emotion [[spoiler:until Yoriichi shed tears upon seeing how his older brother had given up his pride and humanity and become a demon]]. This is his usual countenance, even when he's slaying demons.
* DramaticIrony: His wish was to live a happy life with his family, but [[spoiler:he lost it all when a demon killed them when he was away]]. His own twin brother who wanted to be strong just like Yoriichi already had such a life when the two met up again as adults, but gave it up in pursuit of strength.
* TheDreaded: To ''Muzan'', as Yoriichi was the demon slayer who almost killed him. Even as an old man on death's door, Kokushibo knew he stood no chance of defeating him. Muzan's sheer terror of the man is such that when [[AllLovingHero Tanjiro]] ends up resembling him through a combination of his Sun Breathing technique and his sheer rage towards demons who disrespect the sanctity of life, the cells he implanted in the 12 moons cause them to experience vivid flashbacks of Muzan's encounter with him-- to repeat, ''Muzan's very cells carry his deep terror'' for the man who came closest to inflicting death upon him despite all his precautions and abilities. Muzan even went out of his way to destroy any record of the Sun Breathing style and killed most of the inheritors of the technique himself, despite his usual paranoia with being identified, out of fear of another like Yoriichi appearing before him again. Even a mere look at the earrings that were originally Yoriichi's is enough to cause Muzan to shake in terror.
* TheDrifter: After [[spoiler:being expelled
from her {{AbusiveParents}}, the girls Demon Slayer Corps over being pointed as the scapegoat for a string of factors that ranged from Muzan escaping to his own older twin brother betraying the Corps to join Muzan himself]], Yoriichi at first went back to the home he lived with his late wife Uta, but upon first meeting and making friends with the poor couple that had stationed there, Sumiyoshi and Suyako, Yoriichi decided to give that home to the Kamados ancestors, and going on to become a drifter, a ronin in all but name, to kill any number of demons he can find for the rest of his life as a tragic act of self-appointed atonement over [[spoiler:failing to kill Muzan for good]].
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: He had these for most of his life, signifying his alienation from other people due to his see-through-sight, along with his search for his purpose in life. Then later, his failures in defeating Muzan, and protecting his family and others despite his strength.
* DyingAlone: The most powerful demon slayer, who came close to killing Muzan Kibutsuji and dedicated his whole life to exterminating demons, a Samurai dedicated only to his craft. [[spoiler: He never stopped to pursue any happiness for himself after his wife and unborn child were killed in his twenties, instead choosing to die alone 60 years later in one last match against a demon he knew very well, his own twin brother.]]
* EvolvingWeapon: Yoriichi had a black blade like Tanjiro does, but unlike all normal demon slayers who permanently enhance the color of their blades due their Breathing affinity when they touch it for the first time, Yoriichi could make his black blade turn red at will when he engaged in battle, showcasing his proficiency in Sun Breathing. [[spoiler:Interestingly, Yoriichi compared his wife Uta's eyes to obsidian the day he met her]].
* FaceFramedInShadow: The very first time he's shown in the anime, he's depicted with his face overshadowed, adding to the enigmatic and domineering presence that left Muzan traumatized from their encounter years after.
* TheFaceless: Whenever Yoriichi appears, his face is usually obscured completely or partially to add mystique to his character. It finally gets revealed properly in the Season 3 premiere.
* FailureKnight: The fact that Yoriichi failed to kill Muzan (with the added insult that he only escaped because Yoriichi's kindness distracted him when he noticed Tamayo's sad nature on the sidelines) weighted him down immensely, since Yoriichi came to realize he was pretty much the strongest demon slayer to ever live, thus knowing very well Muzan would be responsible for many deaths to come without anyone at the time being able to put a stop to that terror.
* FirstLove: Uta is his. [[spoiler:She's also his only love, as he's never interested in anyone else for the rest of his life.]]
* FriendToAllChildren: Yoriichi loved children very dearly. It was his dream to become a father for his and Uta's unborn child, and his interactions with Sumiyoshi's children were very kind and gentle.
* FromZeroToHero: Though he had incredible talent, Yoriichi was perfectly content with
living in the estate have all lost a peaceful life with his family because he didn't like hurting people. [[spoiler:Then Uta was killed with their families unborn child because of a demon]], and the resulting HeroicBSOD had Yoriichi dedicate his life to ending Muzan. Even though he wasn't successful (although he came very close to doing so), his techniques and skills remained as part of the Demon Slayers and Muzan is ''still'' terrified of him centuries later.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Like Tanjiro, Yoriichi didn't understand what was so enjoyable about trampling on the lives of others as Muzan had done so many times. [[spoiler:He also didn't see the envy and despair fermenting in his own twin brother's heart until it was too late.]]
* GreaterScopeParagon: [[spoiler:Even though he wasn't the founder of the Demon Slayer Corps (being born centuries after Muzan's rise to power), he was the creator of the Breathing Styles--with Sun Breathing being the progenitor of all other Breathing Styles which inspired the creation of the Hashira. Yoriichi also handed down his earrings to Tanjiro's ancestor, Sumiyoshi, along with Sun Breathing, as Sumiyoshi himself would later pass it to his descendants, ensuring its continuity.]]
* GuiltComplex: Failing to [[spoiler:kill Muzan for good]] absolutely destroyed his spirit, despite the fact both Yoriichi and Muzan knew he was ridiculously stronger than the demon king, but Muzan had a surprise escape maneuver Yoriichi couldn't fully overcome, and he was slightly distracted by Tamayo, a demon who didn't seem as malicious as all others, looking somewhat tragic even. That encounter was immediately followed by [[spoiler:Yoriichi's own twin brother Michikatsu betraying the demon slayer corps to become a demon himself, joining Muzan; all led to Yoriichi's complete disgraced image by association, being expelled from the Corps as result]]. Yoriichi summarized all of what happened to him being personally responsible for all deaths enacted by demons thereafter
due demons. Muzan escaping his grasp, the man just gave up on a normal life altogether since, dedicating the rest of his life to exterminate any number of demons he can find if Muzan just keeps hiding till Yoriichi dies of old age.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:After he expired during his duel with his older twin brother, Kokushibo slashed his body in two under the pretense of ensuring his death, but it was more of a fit of [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy and impotent rage.]]]]
* HappilyMarried: His marriage with Uta was the happiest and most peaceful time of his life, and he wanted nothing more than to continue his life just like that. Unfortunately, it didn't work out due to circumstances beyond his control.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Yoriichi started his life-long career as a demon slayer after [[spoiler: his wife and child's death]], never seeking personal happiness again. His heart was broken a second time when his brother chose to become a demon.
* HeroicBSOD: Had a huge one after [[spoiler:discovered the bodies of his wife and unborn child in their house.]] Even after the worst had passed, Yoriichi never quite recovered and chose to live his life alone, dedicating himself to the single goal of killing Muzan.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation:
Despite being such a legendary skilled swordsman, he was quite melancholic. He didn't see himself as a person of worth since he ultimately failed to kill Muzan, [[spoiler:and couldn't protect his wife and unborn child or prevent his brother from walking the path of a demon.]]
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Muzan, who's a HumanoidAbomination is scared shitless of him to the present day.
* HumbleHero: He was kind and respectful, never putting himself above others. [[spoiler: In his youth, he told his brother Michikatsu, later Kokushibo, that if Michikatsu dreamed of being the greatest, most powerful swordsman who ever lived, then Yoriichi would be satisfied just being the second strongest. He really was a sweet child in the past, so far as to even refusing to become the family's successor so that he wouldn't usurp Michikatsu and willfully left early to become a monk. It's revealed that he didn't even go to the temple because he knew their father would attempt to bring him back, and he left no trace of himself so that Michikatsu would surely achieve the position.]]
* TheIdealist: A major trait in Yoriichi's character is that he believed in an ideal where the true solution to erasing the suffering humanity endured through being hunted by demonkind would be accomplished by demon slayers, and everyone that supported the cause, reaching "the same place in the end", which Tanjiro interpreted as everyone's qualities and strengths eventually amounting the effort needed to kill Muzan once and for all even if no one could have grown to be as a strong as Yoriichi ever was; that's why Yoriichi never let it go of
this ideal despite growing to be very self-deprecating after failing to kill Muzan, since in his belief Yoriichi ended up being just a failing piece of a much a larger group that would surely one day "reach the same place".
* IJustWantToBeNormal: In contrast to [[IJustWantToBeSpecial his brother]], Yoriichi just wanted to have a mundane life free of conflict with his wife and family. Unfortunately, Muzan and the demons made that impossible and Yoriichi ended up locked on the path of the sword in order to purge the world of their evil, outright saying that he was born specifically to slay [[BigBad Muzan]].
* ILetGwenStacyDie: [[spoiler:He holds himself responsible for failing to protect his wife Uta and his child]].
* TheImmune: Somehow escaped [[spoiler: the curse of the Demon Slayer's Mark. It's noted that no bearer of the Mark lives past 25 years of age, yet Yoriichi went on to live to 80 years and with his skills intact.]]
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: His swordmanship was so impossibly complex that a combat training dummy modelled after him to train Demon Slayers had to be installed with ''six'' arms to even begin to emulate his techniques.
* InexplicablyAwesome: Other than being "blessed by the gods", the explanation for ''why'' Yoriichi is so inhumanly powerful is never given. He was simply born that strong, Having had access to Full Concentration Breathing, the Demon Slayer Mark and the Transparent World, techniques that are supposed to take lifetimes of effort to achieve, since childhood.
* InvincibleHero: [[spoiler:Yoriichi went his entire life unchallenged in battle, utterly trivializing the skills of anyone he fought. Both his brother Michikatsu/Kokushibo, the strongest of the Twelve Kizuki by a very large margin, and Muzan, the most powerful demon to ever exist, stood no chance against him at all. He dealt with them as if
they hard-working supportive girls, were just ordinary demons.]]
* KillTheOnesYouLove: Yoriichi loved his older twin brother Michikatsu very much. It took him well over 60 years to steel his heart in order to seek Michikatsu, now the powerful demon Kokushibo, to battle him to the death; Yoriichi was fully intending to kill Kokushibo before he died of old age. He must have felt his life wasn't long in this world anymore, so he decided to at least try to atone for his brother's betrayal of the demon slayer corps
and although Aoi save him the shame of living as a terrible human eater and murderer. However, [[spoiler:Yoriichi died mid-battle despite having the complete upper hand against Kokushibo; his powerful and gifted human body just couldn't defeat aging, allowing Kokushibo to live for a few more centuries]].
* LifeWillKillYou: [[spoiler:Despite being the strongest demon slayer ever born, he never met his end in some heroic, grandiose way. Rather, he died of old age in his duel against his brother, passing away just before giving him the killing blow.]]
* LongDeadBadass: Yoriichi has been dead for centuries by the time of the present story, but his influence on the setting
is [[{{Tsundere}} still heavily felt.
* ManlyTears: [[spoiler:He shed tears before his fight against Kokushibo, knowing that his former older brother Michikatsu betrayed him and became
a bit rough demon, the sworn enemy they were supposed to fight against.]]
* MasterSwordsman: Presented as a legend who wielded the most complete Breathing form ever and the origin of all others, [[spoiler: the guy still managed to retain his abilities as an 80-year-old samurai, noted by his own twin-brother-turned-demon who still felt apprehensive against an old man who looked much more spent than the ageless Kokushibo. In his youth, he was the only one who ever came close to defeating Muzan]].
** Yoriichi was such a inhumanly fast and powerful swordsman that the only way anyone's found to replicate his moves, even 300 years later, is through a [[spoiler: mechanical doll with 8 limbs]]. Evidently it's just not possible for anything with just two arms to do what he can.
* MeaningfulName: His given name is comprised of the kanji for " destiny, fate" and the Japanese term for 1, so it's possible to translate Yoriichi as "[[BornWinner destined to be number one]]". However, Akeno, Yoriichi's mother, the one who named him gave him that name because she wanted him to treasure the bonds he would form while Michikatsu's name was given by their father who wanted his son to always win. While his family name "Tsugikuni" contains the kanji for "inherit, succeed", referencing how so many slayers are desperate to live up to Yoriichi's legacy.
* MonochromaticEyes: To convey how terrifying his presence is to any demon who is unlucky enough to be on his path, Yorichi's eyes were drawn in blank white, and his face is obscured by shadow in the first tease of his existence, during Muzan's recollection of their encounter, the king of demons was reduced to a trembling mess in the face of the strongest Demon Slayer to ever exist. The same effect is repeated when Daki recalls Yoriichi through Muzan's cells in her bloodstream itself being afraid of him, as Tanjiro triggered those memories.
* TheMourningAfter: [[spoiler:Although Uta died when he was seventeen at most, he continues to mourn her and never loves anyone else for the rest of his life.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:He never forgave himself for failing to kill Muzan, knowing how many would die as a result. His failure to protect Uta and their unborn child never left him either.]]
* NiceGuy: Not just an unbelievable warrior, but a kind, generous and warm man. [[spoiler:It's revealed in chapter 177 that he was always a very sweet person since childhood. He loved his family very much and did not object to his father's treatment of him. He felt bad for his father's retainer, Ito, after using his special talent and injuring him in his sword training. He also helped his ill mother by walking alongside her and supporting her left side, when she could not walk on her own. He treasured the flute that Michikatsu made for him, telling him that he would always remember his big brother after he prepared to travel to a temple. He didn't even stay at the temple and left on his own journey so that his brother would become the next successor to their family.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:It's true that Yoriichi rescuing Tamayo from Muzan's control would later help immensely with finding a cure to turn demons back to humans, but still, if Yoriichi didn't get distracted, he most likely would've killed Muzan and stopped every bad thing in the story from taking place]].
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:Yoriichi saved Tamayo from Muzan's control, however, the other Demon Slayers argued that this was against their rules and Yoriichi ended up getting banished from the organization.]]
* NoPlaceForMeThere: [[spoiler:He was banished from the Demon Slayer Corps after he failed at killing Muzan for good as the demon king escaped through his grasp. The Corps turned on Yoriichi due a combination of events that were all placed as his fault, even if indirectly, such as Muzan fleeing, Yoriichi sparing a demon (Tamayo) because he felt she should be free to live after Muzan's curse on her had broken, and the worse of all: his own twin brother betraying the Corps to turn into a demon. Michikatsu committed the highest act of treason by killing the then current Lord of the Ubuyashiki family, bringing his head as a sign of submission to Muzan; the Lord's son became the new leader and oversaw Yoriichi's trial, with his banishment actually being a merciful sentence by the new young master since the Corps wanted Yoriichi executed instead. All the good Yoriichi did for the Demon Slayer Corps was not enough for him to be pardoned; the man that literally invented Breathing Styles, giving the once mere human Samurai a chance to become superhuman and have any chance against demons, was thrown away]].
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:Turns out Yoriichi just wasn't good in expressing his emotions properly, noted as not even having cried as a baby normally would in their first years of life. He was in fact very kind, but his reactions could be interpreted as apathy by those who didn't want to see Yoriichi for what he truly was. In his advanced age, Yoriichi grew to properly show sorrow for his brother Michikatsu at last, who turned into a demon and betrayed the demon-slaying path. Seeing him crying was something Michikatsu noted he had never seen Yoriichi do before. But the first time he actually cried was when he went to visit Sumiyoshi and played with Sumiyoshi's child Sumire because it showed him what he would miss with his own unborn child.]]
* OfficialCouple: With Uta, and they were expecting children together [[spoiler:before she died. In the epilogue, they've been reincarnated and have fallen in love again, this time able to live the happy life together that they wanted.]]
* OldMaster: [[spoiler: As an over-80-year-old man, Yoriichi was still able to use his swordsmanship skills in the same way as he did in his prime. He managed to slash Kokushibo's neck, something that the latter finds unfair, as he became a demon who retained his youth while his brother remained human, yet still could boast that much skill as an elder.]]
* PassingTheTorch: [[spoiler:It can be seen that he, as an over-80-year-old man, no longer had the hanafuda earrings. By that point, he had already passed his will on to Tanjiro's ancestors. Yoriichi "taught" Sumiyoshi by proxy the Sun Breathing Style when he humored the latter's wife Suyako's desire to see him practice once again, then passed his earrings to them after that. Sumiyoshi pledged to pass the earrings and Sun Breathing down his family line out of gratitude for saving his life.]]
* ThePerilsOfBeingTheBest: Yoriichi being the strongest demon slayer to ever exist in the story brought him nothing but constant misery and loss. His hidden strength unintentionally caused a succession dispute between his older twin during their childhood and coupled with his difficulties expressing emotion made him rather isolated. To note, the happiest moments of his life were just living quietly with his wife for a few years, where his strength wasn't needed at all.
* RedIsHeroic: Yoriichi wore a red haori and had a mysterious power that allowed him to turn his Nichirin Sword from black to red.
* ReincarnationRomance: [[spoiler:He and Uta are eventually reincarnated and fall in love all over again, finally having the family they were deprived of. They are seen in the final volume extras, labelled "a very happy couple".]]
* {{Retool}}: In the series proper it looked like Yoriichi was completely shunned by all his comrades in the Corps once he was pinned as a scapegoat for Muzan escaping and his brother Michikatsu betraying them to become a demon himself. However, the 2nd Databook went on to further explain Yoriichi wasn't completely shunned after all: some of his former companions still appreciated him, often meeting Yoriichi outside the Corps' domain to casually talk and trade information on demon sightings. With that Yoriichi's banishment tragedy isn't erased, but the result is somewhat lessened.
* {{Ronin}}: That's what de facto turned out to be of Yoriichi once he was expelled from the Demon Slayer Corps, he was no longer an employed Samurai in a time they were still in place, the Sengoku Period, and Yoriichi was born from a Samurai family; the man was still resolute in trying to eradicate demonic threats and Muzan for as long as he lives, so he just became a Ronin, fighting against evil all by himself till he died in his final battle, 60 years after his lone pilgrimage started.
* {{Samurai}}: Yoriichi was from the Sengoku period where the Samurai were still around. Since the demon slayers weren't quite what they are now, Yoriichi was better known publicly as a samurai instead of a demon slayer.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: [[spoiler:Yoriichi chose to help Tamayo, a demon, during his fight against Muzan. Obviously, this didn't sit right with the rest of the Demon Slayers and he was branded a traitor]].
* ShroudedInMyth: Despite being the guy who made Muzan shake in his boots, Yoriichi and the Tsugikuni family, in general, don't seem to be well documented within the Slayer records. Any info on their legacy is quite limited and sparse.
* SingleStrokeBattle:
** [[spoiler:How his last battle went down. Yoriichi, as an old man, gave his all into one attack that really got Kokushibo by surprise, but it only slashed his neck. After that, Yoriichi's life just expired, and he died standing with his sword in hand.]]
** This is how his battle with Muzan went as well. The first second, Muzan launched just one attack at Yoriichi which the latter dodged. The second after, Muzan was literally trying to hold his body together in vain after Yoriichi cut him up into pieces with his red blade.
* SilentScapegoat: The strongest demon slayer to ever live was an extremely humble man, unfortunately so, as he never even tried to fight the injustice that was inflicted on him after fighting against the series' main villain, Muzan Kibutsuji, four hundred years in the past. [[spoiler:Yoriichi silently took all the barrage of accusations made by his own Hashira colleagues of the time for Muzan escaping his clutches, despite being the sole person to ever come close to defeat him; and for letting Tamayo, a demon, go, for Yoriichi saw her as an unwilling companion to Muzan who was now freed of her torment. Everything got worse when Yoriichi's own twin brother betrayed the Corps
around the edges]], same time to become a demon himself. All of that made Yoriichi a scapegoat: they are were demanding for his death, and he himself was silently taking it all easy since he did blame himself too, but he was given some leniency by being expelled from the Demon Slayer Corps instead]].
* SingleTargetSexuality: He only had eyes for Uta. [[spoiler:After the death of his wife and unborn child, he never found love or started a family again since Uta was the only person he ever loved.]]
* TheStoic: Noted to be a very composed Samurai who rarely showed his emotions. He seemingly was a determined man who gave his all to slay demons. However, it seems he enjoyed the company of more expressive people, like his friend Sumiyoshi.
* SuperSpeed: An absolute master of the FlashStep. All his battles ended with [[SingleStrokeBattle one swing of his sword]] and then the demon trying to figure out what the hell happened in that split-second.
* SympathyForTheDevil: [[spoiler:He wept when he saw his older twin brother as a demon and gave him genuine sympathy for throwing away his pride and morality just to prolong his strength.]]
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler:Yoriichi cried when he played around with Sumiyoshi's child Sumire because she reminded him of his own child who he would never see grow up.]]
* ToBeLawfulOrGood: [[spoiler:Ran into this during his fight with Muzan when he noticed a reluctant looking Tamayo with him. Yoriichi chose to be good and save her, but it came at the cost of being banished from the Corps]].
* TragicDream: [[spoiler:Yoriichi tells Sumiyoshi (Tanjiro in his memory) that all he wanted was to live in a small, quiet home with his wife Uta and their newborn child, both of whom were killed by a demon.]]
* TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:As a child, Yoriichi was given the hanafuda earrings by his mother and a handmade wooden flute by his twin Michikatsu. While he passed on the hanafuda earrings to Sumiyoshi and his family line, he never stopped carrying his brother's flute, not even when in death as an 85-year-old man, long after Michikatsu became the demon Kokushibo. The flute was kept encased in a small piece of fabric, with the same pattern as his long-deceased wife Uta's kimono; Yoriichi kept the memories of his most cherished people close to him through all his life]].
* TrainingDummy: Midway into the series, we're shown an automated training dummy named Yoriichi Zeroshiki, said to be modelled after a powerful slayer with skills so absurd that the doll had to be given six arms with a katana on each hand just to emulate what the 2-armed slayer was capable of. It's eventually made clear that it was modelled after Yoriichi, even sharing his name.
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:His face is shown to have been visibly angered when he encountered Muzan for the first time.]]
* TraumaCongaLine: Poor, poor Yoriichi.
** [[spoiler:At birth, Yoriichi was almost killed by his father because of the Demon Slayer Mark on his forehead. While he was saved by his mother Akeno, he was treated as an outcast by his father and the rest of the family. He was isolated in a small room, fed poor food, given poor education and clothing, and--as the Sengoku rumors revealed--was verbally abused by his father to the point where he thought of erasing his own existence at ''two years old''.]]
** [[spoiler:It's revealed that Yoriichi knew that his mother was dying from an illness and tried to support her as much as he could. Upon her death, Yoriichi ran away from home to protect his brother from the same abuse his father had inflicted on him.]]
** [[spoiler:Yoriichi runs away and meets a girl named Uta, who he eventually falls in love with. In time, they get married, and decided to have a child together. However, when Yoriichi leaves
to get along with.
* OrphanageOfLove: Unconventionally, but Kanao, Aoi, Sumi, Kiyo,
the midwife, he returns home only to find his wife and Naho were orphaned or otherwise abandoned unborn child dead, having been killed by a demon. Yoriichi is ''absolutely devastated'' and is so horrified that he holds onto their corpses for ten days.]]
** [[spoiler:Yoriichi confronts Muzan himself and almost kills him. However, Muzan flees just as Yoriichi was about to finish him off, leaving him feeling guilty that his failure meant that plenty of people would lose their lives.]]
** [[spoiler:Right after that, Yoriichi realizes that his beloved older brother--Michikatsu--had betrayed them and took the path of a demon.]]
** [[spoiler: He then proceeds to take responsibility for failing to kill Muzan, setting Tamayo free, and Michikatsu turning into a demon... causing the demon slayers to turn on him and demand his death. He is banished from the Demon Slayer Corps shortly afterward.]]
* TheUnFavourite: A straight example that then subverts itself, yet it does not make the tale end in a brighter note. In his first 7 years of life, Yoriichi was seen as a complete anomaly born in a family of Samurai in the Sengoku Period: he was seemingly too quiet, looked frail, barely spoke at all and never cried, to the point his parents thought he was deaf; as such his father completely gave up on Yoriichi ever learning anything of worth as a warrior, favoring his older twin Michikatsu who seemed livelier and actually wanted to become a warrior instead. Meanwhile Yoriichi was borderline disowned
by their parents father, forced to live in a small side installation near their mansion, like he was an unwanted presence. However, in a complete innocent action of Michikatsu's swordsmanship instructor who was just trying to humor Yoriichi by telling him to play with him in a mock sparring session, the kid completely destroyed the instructor in what was supposed to be just light play time. Yoriichi at 7 years old showed something that could only be a divine given gift to sword fighting; that event made the Tsugikuni father completely invert the treatment of his twin sons - he now wanted Yoriichi to be his successor, and taken in by Michikatsu to be the Butterfly Estate, living shunned child. In the end Yoriichi loved his older brother Michikatsu and wanted nothing with his family's warrior creed and dispute for succession, so he ran away from home as a kid. His father was left desperately searching for Yoriichi, but once he could no longer find his prodigious son, Michikatsu was his only option left to succeed the Tsugikuni family.
* WalkingSpoiler: As a very important character in the lore, it's impossible to mention Yoriichi without spoiling key elements of the story.
* WhenHeSmiles: The last time Yoriichi ever smiled was when he left Sumiyoshi, who gave him a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech. Due to how generally inexpressive he was, the few times that he did smile are always emphasized by large panels and light.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: [[spoiler:As a seven-year-old child, he was the only member of his family who understood the severity of his mother's failing health and did everything he could to support her until she died. He was also aware of his father's pragmatic view of the family's succession and knew he would usurp his brother Michikatsu's place as heir due to his clearly superior swordsmanship, and chose to leave the household on his own terms to spare his brother of this fate.]]
* WorldsBestWarrior: He was ''the'' Demon Slayer. So overwhelmingly powerful that even [[MonsterLord Muzan]] went down in an incredibly one-sided SingleStrokeBattle against him and remains terrified of him long after his death. Literally the only reason that he didn't win his final fight against [[spoiler:Kokushibo]] was that he was at least ''eighty'' and his body just gave out on him before he could properly inflict a killing blow. To put that feat in perspective, when [[spoiler:Kokushibo]] is fought in the series proper, it takes ''multiple'' Hashira
working there in exchange together, a few [[HeroicSacrifice Heroic Sacrifices]], and [[spoiler:Kokushibo]] suffering a WhatHaveIBecome moment and a VillainousBSOD to put him down for room good. This guy almost did it by himself while on death's door. Likewise, the only reason he didn't kill Muzan was because [[spoiler:he paused his onslaught to ask Muzan what he thought of all the lives he took, which gave Muzan the opening he needed to escape.]]
* WorldsStrongestMan: In addition to being an inhumanly good swordsman, Yoriichi is extremely strong. The first example we get of this is when he was a mere ''child''
and board.
knocks out a full-grown sword instructor with a practice sword, even leaving huge welts that took weeks to go away. The damage he can do to powerful demons like Kokushibo and Muzan is nothing to sniff at, especially when you consider that his Sun Breathing is a perfect combination of absolute strength and lightning speed.
* SignatureHeadgear: All WorthyOpponent: Yoriichi is one of very few people [[TheSociopath Muzan]] has ''genuine'' respect for, albeit begrudgingly as in the women end Muzan just can't deny how strong Yoriichi was; even considering the present demon slayer to be vastly inferior to the man who nearly killed him 400 years ago.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Sumiyoshi told him that his life did have meaning despite his failures since he saved Sumiyoshi
and girls of his family. Yoriichi was so touched that he gave one last heartfelt smile to them before he left forever. His descendant Tanjiro echoes that sentiment 400 years later, by saving Tamayo's life (which she later repays by providing the Butterfly Estate wear brightly colored butterfly-shaped hairpins or hairclips.
medicine needed to turn Nezuko back into a human).
* YouRemindMeOfX: The Sengoku Rumors section in the 22nd Volume fully reveals [[spoiler:the house Sumiyoshi and Suyako live in, and eventually the Kamado Family centuries beyond, was the very house Yoriichi and Uta used to live in; the poor couple moved in thinking it was completely abandoned, but after Yoriichi became acquainted with them he saw Sumiyoshi and Suyako as the couple he wished himself and Uta could be, giving the house away to them, hoping they have the happy humble life he could never have]].
