* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Kokushibo deconstructs the GreenEyedMonster trope: He was so envious that he is, and always will second best to his younger twin Yoriichi that he abandoned his family then joined Muzan's forces to live forever and gain more power, and even then, he was still no match. Ultimately, that achieves nothing but ensure his own death in the final showdown, and Kokushibo even starts questioning if it was all worth it shortly before he's dispatched.

Added DiffLines:

* RedEyesTakeWarning: The sclera and all six of his eyes are dark red with a citrus-like vein pattern, and he's the most powerful of the 12 Kizuki, and the second most powerful demon overall.


Added DiffLines:

* SpeakIllOfTheDead: After he senses Akaza's death, he scoffs that Akaza did not make good on his promise it fight and kill him, and that after all he had and could accomplish, he ultimately ended his own life.
--> "''Akaza's presence is gone. He has fallen. Akaza... weren't you going to defeat me? A path had open for him to attain further heights but he renounced it himself. How exceedingly weak.''"

* TheResenter: Towards Yoriichi, of course. However, he still had complicated feelings of brotherly love for him in the end, and had always been nice with him despite kokushibo himself stating otherwise.

* UnknownRival: PlayedForDrama. Despite Kokushibo's intense resentment towards Yorichii, the latter never noticed it, always thinking highly of his older brother despite being more powerful. It ironically drove a further wedge in their relationship.

* TheCorrupter: Kokushibo converts Demon Slayers over to Muzan's side by overwhelming them with his power and then forcing them to drink Muzan's blood, turning them into demons themselves. He recruited [[RivalTurnedEvil Kaigaku]] this way and would have done the same to Muichiro if Genya and Sanemi haven't intervened. He himself was a victim of this by Muzan who preyed on his insecurities to convince him to become a demon.

Added DiffLines:

* FamilyMan: Used to be one. He had a wife and two kids whom he seemingly loved and lived with peacefully.
* FatalFlaw: [[DrivenByEnvy Envy]].

Added DiffLines:

* MarriedToTheJob: He used to be HappilyMarried as human with a wife and his own kids. However, once his obsession with surpassing his brother Yoriichi started to manifest, Kokushibo abandoned them in favor of honing his swordsmanship.

Upper-1. [[TheDragon Muzan's partner and right-hand man]], he has occupied the position of Upper-1 for at least 400 years. Unlike many other demons, he eschews relying upon his supernatural powers and focuses on perfecting his swordsmanship, the likes of which is unmatched by anyone alive. Because of his rank, [[WorldsStrongestMan he's heavily known as the second strongest demon in the whole series]], only next to his master. He is actually a former Demon Slayer known as Michikatsu Tsugikuni, the older twin brother of Yorichii, and uses a secret derivative of his brother's Sun Breathing known as Moon Breathing.
