Kokushibo - Blog Posts

I think i got possessed last night and the ghost decided to draw this, I don't draw this well 🥲

Demon Slayer AU where everything is the same except Yoriichi is a ghost.

He’s corporal/people can see him, he can change his appearance from when he was a kid to when he was old.

He follows Tanjiro around. They met sometime before the Hashira Training Arc for sure, but how early depends on what the writer decides. Has he been there since pre-canon? Or did he show up after the Entertainment District Arc (would honestly make most sense since Tanjiro didn’t know about Sun Breathing until after Mugen Train, but again this is an AU).

He meets Muichiro, and after it clicks that he’s Michikatsu’s descendant Yoriichi follows him around too, eager to be close with the family he could never have.

Depending on when they met, Yoriichi could help Muichiro recover is missing memories earlier than in canon.

Other things about/to include in the AU:

Kamaboko Squad centric (Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu, Kanao, Genya, AND Aoi and Senjuro)

each member gets a one-on-one interaction with him at some point, which will add to their own personal character growth

Whether or not Yoriichi can physically interact with others is up to the writer

making him able to fight demons seems kinda OP, so unless the writer can find a way to make it make sense about how he can maybe don’t do that

maybe he can exude enough strength to stun demons, but not fully kill them

can he pick things up, or do they just pass through him?

He helps train Tanjiro, making him more proficient in Sun Breathing

this can give Tanjiro more time to hone is Water Breathing. It always irked me that Tanjiro didn’t practice Water Breathing as much when he discovered Sun Breathing (don’t quote me on that, I get my info from TikToks and reaction videos. But why learn two breathing styles and not increase your skill in both?)

this can allow a Giyuu training session in the Hashira Training Arc that we didn’t get to see

Expanding on Yoriichi changing his age: I feel like the older he presents himself, the more power he would have. So when he’s fighting, he’s somewhere between his 20s and 80s. However, because this takes up a lot of energy, when he’s not fighting he’s typically in the form of himself as a child or in his teens

whether or not his mentality/maturity is affected when he’s at different ages is up to the writer so long as it’s not portrayed in an erotic/kinky way

Yoriichi can give tips to the Hashiras that those in the Sengoku Era used (information always has the potential to be forgotten, so maybe there were some tricks that were forgotten about?)

can provide more information about Muzan and his weaknesses, since he was the only swordsman who came close to killing the Demon King

Interactions with Lady Tamayo and Yushiro!

Fluffy moments! Slice of Life, Found Family, all the tropes! Let him be the father to the Kamaboko Squad that they never had/lost (let him have the chance to be the father he never got to be)

Lots of interactions with Genya (is my favoritism showing?)

bonding over being the younger brother

bonding over their endless love for their older brothers

bonding over their older brothers who do so much to hurt them, but they just can’t stop admiring them

Let Yoriichi give Sanemi a talking to

yes, I understand why Sanemi acted towards Genya the way he did. He wanted to protect him, keep him out of danger. However. Good intentions DO NOT give you a free pass on bad actions.

the way that Sanemi treated Genya was cruel and frankly unacceptable; he could’ve gone about it in a much more mature manner

Interactions with Giyuu and Yoriichi!!

mostly bc Giyuu is my fav Hashira, but I notice a lot of similarities between them

Maybe Yoriichi can provide information about Kokushibo/Uppermoon 1?

Yoriichi has the flute that Michikatsu gave him with him in his ghost form

Additional weaknesses up to the writer (this goes for powers too)

Kamaboko Squad showing Yoriichi present-day things

A mix of fluff, angst, etc.

rating is up to the author

ANY SHIP is welcome so long as it is:

legal

not a pro-ship

treated respectfully/with some level of understanding

^^continuing from this, it doesn’t matter if you include SaneKane, SaneGiyuu, ShinoGiyuu, ShinoMitsu, SaneMitsu, ObaGiyuu, UzuRen, or any other pairing, polyamorous included. It doesn’t matter if there’s no ships at all. Everyone has there own preferences, and it’s up to both the reader and the writer to be respectful about it

This is all I’ve come up with for now! I’ll most likely come back and add more at some point, but if you have any ideas or suggestions let me know too!

If you end up using this idea, credit me with my Tumblr, and if you want to as well my AO3 which can be found in my profile :)

Not gonna lie , had a dream where Yoriichi managed to capture muzan the first time in the sengoku period and sort of kept him around in order to try to turn him into a human.

Information below

In the au he's sort of like nezuko (like small in order to conserve energy and stuff). In order to not get killed he reluctantly goes along with Yoriichi's plan despite not wanting to be human again because he's afraid that'd his weak body would return.

Kokoshibou was also there lol. But mostly to carry the box they kept muzan in.

There was this cute scene of muzan with oversized clothing and an a sunhat trying to see if it could withstand the sun. He didn't go through with the plan though, so he stuck with this box.

(for some reason they were in tanjiro's time period, so it must of been a time travel au ... So modern-ish muzan is there too and tanjiro's confused because he can sense two people with the same smell).

It was a cute dream. Tiny muzan kept arguing with Yoriichi about what he can or cannot eat (despite hiding further away from him).

I don't think this muzan would wear a muzzle since I believe he can control himself pretty well , though Yoriichi keeps a muzzle on hand in case of emergencies.

The parallels between the Thunder siblings and the Tsugikuni twins run deep. Starting with Kaigaku and Michikatsu's memories, it's evident that there is no strict rule about demons retaining their memories after transformation. I believe it mainly concerns their corruption. When demons' memories are taken away, a fundamental part of them is erased, which makes it easier for Muzan to reshape their relationships and identities to serve him. In the case of these two, remembering is essential; Muzan needs them to hold onto their worst qualities and instincts. Hatred and jealousy are powerful, binding emotions that drive both of them. Muzan's strategy is to keep them as their worst versions, which is why I believe these two kept their memories despite being transformed. this similarity is also the undeniable reason why Kokushibo was Kaigaku's path into demonhood.

As for the other two, aside from Tanjiro, I think Zenitsu is the closest to Yoriichi among the Kamaboko squad. They’re both really hard on themselves. Even though they’re clearly talented, strong, and heroic, they can’t seem to accept it. Zenitsu sees himself as a coward who doesn’t amount to much, while Yoriichi feels like a failure. But both have a lot of kindness, bravery, and care for others.

Both also fight their turned demon siblings, and the saddest part is that they both "die" when they "kill" their brothers. Yoriichi's heart stops at that moment, and Zenitsu falls to his death without trying to stop himself, and almost crosses to the other side. It's as if the act itself was so painful. They understood they had to end their siblings' lives, but despite any anger, disappointment, or pity they felt, there was no triumph in their actions, only heartbreak.

Muzan possesses such a high level of emotional intelligence that enables him to read people deeply, manipulate them to his advantage, and exploit their weaknesses. He knows how to agitate them to get what he wants and how to break them down by amplifying their worst traits. His top three Upper Moons reflect his own faults such as apathy, immaturity, arrogance, greed, and an endless quest for more power.

Muzan treats each of them differently to serve his purposes. He humiliates and belittles Akaza at every opportunity because he knows that he craves guidance and praise. By doing the opposite, he inflicts emotional pain. He continues this harsh treatment until Akaza's final moments, pushing him to persist in a meaningless existence.

With Douma, Muzan exacerbates his emotional stuntedness by being emotionally distant and allowing Douma to stay in toxic environment he grew up in, preventing any personal growth or change.

And lastly, Muzan manipulates Kokushibo's jealousy and greed by tempting him with what he desires most, rather than what he truly needs. This leads Kokushibo down a path of betraying everything that once mattered to him.

Hello! Firstly I wanted to wish you and your family Happy Pride Month and Happy Father's Day.

Secondly if requests are open and only if you want to, maybe Michikatsu/Kokushibo from Demon Slayer? If no then thank you for taking time out to read my ask! :)

Hello, thank you very much for your good wishes. Thanks for the order, sorry for the delay. I hope you like it.

Thank you for the requests you make to me, it takes me a while to answer them but I promise that I will answer.

Reblogs and comments are appreciated

Hirakugo and Hime's "dangerous" father.

kokuette 🎀

Fuck it, I'm giving sad headcanons now.

Hirakugo's last words: "Oh, father, how good it was to be with your guidance, strength, and knowledge. Yet, here I died by a lowly slayer. Forgive me for not continuing your glory as we had both planned..." Killed by Gyomei and Sanemi in the infinity castle arc

Toyotama-hime's last words: "Wow... Here I was finally killed by the man who I thought I loved fall in love with and almost took care of him as a wife would, but it's still my own fault for believing such lies from a stealing man. Mother.. father... Please forgive me for my foolishness and still childish actions." Killed by Sekido/Zohakuten because he thought that "she doesn't deserve to be Kokushibo's daughter" because of her imperfections.

(Kokushibo and Hira would crash out when they find out their babies died.)

@virtuousweakling @hantengudelulu @fallstreakfeathers

And now we'll have Toyotama-hime's opinions on the uppermoons!

Kokushibo:

She basically loves and adores him like any normal girl would with her father, but she also ignores some of his rules about her "not needing to fight" and literally became a martial artist threat to everyone breathing on Earth.

Douma:

She's on the middle ground with him, liking and hating his presence. She has even broken his jaw every time he called her muteness "adorable" because it's actually not fun to not have a voice and be seen as the "perfect victim" because she can't scream for help.

Akaza:

She loves him like he's her second brother, but also doesn't like how he only spars with Hirakugo and not with her. He's also on the firsts to know if she ever makes any small improvement in her passions or likes.

Hantengu:

She just pities him and tries to calm him down in every meeting that's held up, and she's in. She's confused on why he's always so cowardly, but Hantengu (and his lying and conceiving ass) starts to act even more cowardly every meeting to have her attention on him. (greedy attention and comfort whore)

Gyokko:

She likes his art skills and how he also uses his victims for art. She even painted some of his vases with his permission, and they often share ideas on how to become more brutal to reveal the rawness of their victims in art.

Gyutaro and Daki:

She also finds good presence with them, and her and Daki are quite close friends. She, too, as Hirakugo, sees the two of them in Gyutaro and Daki. Daki and her even often times share their kills of people at the end of the night! Hell, the two are even the first to know that Hime makes jewelry from her victims' bones!!

@hantengudelulu @fallstreakfeathers @virtuousweakling

Hirakugo's opinion on the uppermoons:

Kokushibo:

Of course, he would respect his father and admire him! He's actually really in the "the son has to continue his father's glory" type of mindest and is pretty stuck to it and will believe it to the end. It's almost like his mission for him to keep alive his and his father's glory.

Answer he would give about the question "What do you think of...?": "My father is a man of his word, he always keeps it and would never not protect and care about people he has deep in his heart. He may not seem like he cares, but it can be seen in his eyes and his words."

Douma:

He generally hates, understands, and finds Douma weird and interesting. He thinks the way he charms in his prey by acting friendly and welcoming is good, but also old as shit. He also hates how he takes most things as a playing game or some playground. Although he also understands and likes his bda, finding it powerful and interesting, but still definitely hates his view on women and how he thinks they're just "great food".

Answer he would give if he was asked about his opinion on him: "He's definitely weird and strange, but his bda is impressive and powerful, which makes him somewhat worthy of the upper 2 spot. I loathed the way he thinks of women, Akaza definitely has a better opinion and treatment of them."

Akaza:

He also likes and respects Akaza, especially the way he also protects his baby sister and agrees with his opinion on women as well. He also sees Akaza as a worth opponent for a fight, and they often spar barehanded. He also got so close to the respect that Hirakugo almost sees him as a brother. In conclusion, they are pretty close.

Answer after getting asked of an opinion on him: "Akaza is a good guy. I respect his opinion on women and admire his bda and how he fights barehanded. He's also quite a good partner for sparring when I want to train without my sword, so I always go to him for a spar."

Hantengu:

Hates him. Completely, absolutely and fully. He hates how he always trembles and stutters, especially in front of Muzan, and hates how he can just think he can take advantage of his sister's kindness and comforting.

Answer after getting asked of an opinion on him: "Hate him. He should just stop acting like a scared mouse in front of Muzan and show some real respect. Also, if he had ever come near my sister again, I'll keep decapitating him until he dies from the lack of energy to regenerate."

Gyokko:

It's the middle ground and on the scales if he hates and finds him interesting. He thinks his pots are okay but a waste of time as a demon. He thinks that he should also not be so picky on what human he eats because it's still food to have.

Answer after getting asked of an opinion on him: "I... almost got no words. He's just the middle ground for now. His vases are pretty, but waste of time. He should also stop being picky about so many things about humans and just eat."

Daki and Gyutaro:

He almost sees him and Toyotama-hime in the two of them, the only difference being that Daki is just a little bit louder than Hime would be. He likes the sibling bond they have and how they protect each other in battle most of the time.

Answer after getting asked of an opinion on them: "They are like me and Hime and are pretty impressive with their fighting style. It comes to find for me that Gyutaro is just a bit too coddling and doting on Daki, but an older brother has to take care of his sister after all."

Now, bye bye, done for now. Gonna take a nap and probably finish later or tomorrow.

@hantengudelulu @fallstreakfeathers @virtuousweakling

I don't know how I forgot about Toyotama-hime's older brother, Hirakugo. He's taken the albinism from his mother and is a Moon breather with a white Nichirin sword. He also has Kokushibo's eye colors and short fluffy hair. His personality is just the exact same as Kokushibo and absolutely hates uppermoon 4 Hantengu because of his "fake innocent" act and would just want him to at least do the minimum and not tremble and stutter as much in front of Muzan (he thinks it's disrespectful to do that in his presence). He's just basically a second Kokushibo, but an albino version with short hair.

@hantengudelulu, @fallstreakfeathers, forgot about him. Sorry 😞

(I'm bored as hell, so I'll just introduce one of my kny oc's, but no art cause I can't draw to save my life :'( ))

Toyotama-hime: "The mute geisha"

Hime is the daughter of uppermoon 1, Kokushibo, and her mother Hira is an oiran in one of the Yoshiwara houses. She also sometimes even works as a geisha in some of the ED houses, but not for long periods of time.

Some Hira information:

Her mother, although it may appear just like a normal oiran, is also a protective spirit/legend over all of the red light district houses no matter what. She's her own mythical creature of Japan, a ten tailed white lioness. Hira was born with albinism, which became somewhat loved in the ED because of her. She protects everyone (sometimes may still kill, though), but mostly women and young girls. She has a high-quality education in a lot of things and a lot of topics, like astronomy, philosophy, psychology, biology, and literature.

Toyotama-hime's appearance:

Yota is an almost spitting image of Hira, but she has Kokushibo's hard glare when she's absolutely pissed at "no words can describe" level. She was born mute and with Alexandria genesis, but she mostly has a problem being mute (as everyone probably would), because she cannot at all say what she wants and often has to write it down or use some different communication techniques, which she secretly doesn't enjoy doing. She also has Kokushibo's hair color and similar hair type, but she just braids it for most of the time.

Toyotama-hime's personality, skills, hobbies and likes:

Toyo is collected, peaceful, sassy, stubborn, intelligent, gentle, compassionate, serious, honest, emphatic, and generous. She enjoys writing her stories and small books, crocheting, reading, and naps. She's also a giant cuddle-bug and won't deny any opportunity to cuddle or get cuddled. She's really affectionate and just tries to survive the urges to squeeze anyone smaller than her cheeks and coddle them. She knows how to comfort anyone and everyone from their struggles, even also having the nickname "the comfort and healing angel" in the houses, because of it. Her presence is calming and comforting in every single room that she's in.

Yep, that'll be my girl, Toyotama-hime, ask questions if there are more curiosities about her!

(And now cause I need opinions, because I just need them)

@hantengudelulu, @fallstreakfeathers, @virtuousweakling, what do you think of my girl?

Now, I'm just imagining him falling for Kokushibo's daughter, who could be working as an oiran or geisha, and Kokushibo just having high ass standards for Zohakuten to follow if he truly wants his daughter. The standards possibly being that HE has to do most of the work while she just finishes it up and makes it perfect (around the house). Like, Kokushibo doesn't want his daughter to lift a single finger in their marriage. I'm almost wondering how Zohakuten would react to that, because I see it in a comical way, of some type.

@hantengudelulu

My Zohakuten HeadCanons

Hatred Toward Humanity: As the embodiment of hatred, Zohakuten harbors deep disdain for humanity. He sees humans as weak, corrupt, and beneath him, unworthy of respect or mercy-applies to most demons too

Ageless Yet Misunderstood: Despite his childlike appearance, Zohakuten is well over 200 years old and fully developed in intellect and ideology. Many underestimate him due to his youthful looks, forgetting that he possesses the wisdom and malice of an adult demon.-Kind of bothers me people characterize him as a child when he is not.

Misogynistic Beliefs: Zohakuten holds extreme misogynistic views, fully supporting male violence toward women and seeing them as inherently inferior. He values strict hierarchies and order, believing that only the strong deserve to rule, and that subjugation is the natural state of those beneath him. Women especially.

Fear and Respect Among Clones: His clones fear him—he is their absolute authority. While Karaku, Aizetsu, and Urogi would be a bit unnerved in his presence, Sekido’s maybe not so much. Sekido may not be afraid, but he acknowledges Zohakuten's power. Hantengu, on the other hand, is viewed as a pathetic, weak being—worthy of protection in this cruel villainous world.

Victim Mentality Rooted in Hatred: Zohakuten carries a victim mindset, not in the sense of self-pity, but in a seething, righteous fury. He believes he has been wronged and uses that as justification for his malice and cruelty.

No Interest in Pets or Attachments: Unlike other demons who may take interest in humans or demons as pets or companions, Zohakuten sees himself as far above such indulgences. He considers no one truly worthy of standing beside him.

Respects Strength, Not Status: He acknowledges Akaza’s fighting skills, possibly extending that respect to Gyutaro. However, Kokushibo is the one demon he would truly admire, as his discipline, power, and unwavering devotion to Muzan align with Zohakuten’s ideals.

Potential for Mating: If he ever desired a partner, it would be purely for his own needs. He would demand nothing less than an untouched and highly refined oiran or noble woman, someone of great beauty and status. However, he would not concern himself with earning her favor—her purpose would be to serve him, not the other way around. Her payment is the honour of his presence. He would expect absolute formality, similar to a concubine’s role in a shogun’s court, requiring strict obedience, reverence, and the utmost deference—addressing him as "sama" and fulfilling his demands without question. There would be no sentimanility or gift giving on his part. Doesn't give a damn about the partner's pleasure.

Xenophobia or racist? While Sekido exhibits a xenophobic distrust of those outside his perceived order, Zohakuten takes it further—I reckon he is a full-blown supremacist, believing that certain beings, especially certain humans, are inherently lesser and deserving of eradication or servitude. I'm not sure if it counts as racism if you hate everyone?

I guess of his interests-meditating in storms? Maybe likes the sound of Japanese war drums like the Taiko

Probably similar to Sekido in enjoying the lore of Raijin and Fujin

Probably enjoys watching destruction unfold-like humans perishing in some sort of natural disaster or a lower level demon destroying a village

Might engage with the occassional spar with someone he considers worthy? maybe Akaza? Possibly Gyutaro? Definately Kokushibo.

All in all, an A grade asshole. Muh favorite. Irredeemable.

Hi there!! I absolutely adore your works<3 When I saw you wanted requests, I wanted to send one in. This one is for KNY:)

Could you please do Kokushibo with a petite reader? Like, the reader is only a short five feet (around 150 cm) tall? I would absolutely love that❤️

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥, 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭!

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: 𝐍𝐨𝐧𝐞

𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜

𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞: 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬

𝐊𝐨𝐤𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐨𝐮

He, being 6'2" (190 cm), finds it awfully cute.

He may not show it, but he absolutely freaks out when you ask him for help to reach something on a higher shelf.

You'll often find yourself being held, most often bridal style.

Now, he loves you more than anyone could ever love their significant other, but sometimes.. his protectiveness can get in the way of his love for you.

He would sooner throw Muzan on top of fans at a Michael Jackson concert and let him crowdsurf before he ever let you get hurt.

Even in the slightest.

If he were to witness someone mocking you for your height, he'd barely have enough self control to hold himself back from pouncing on them.

He's not usually one for affection, but he will, on occasion, leave gentle kisses to the top of your head.

When you two are alone, he'll bend over and whisper sweet nothings into your ears for a few minutes before walking off as though nothing happened.

He has a habit of just... scooping you up into his arms and holding you close.

If you cook, he'll often stay with you when you cook to gather ingredients for you.

If you want to get something down yourself, he'll put you on his shoulders and lift you up high enough to grab it.

He loves to dance with you, as odd as it is.

He loves to lift you up and watch your legs get lifted from the ground.

Your laughs as he does so is also another thing he looks forward to when you dance.

All in all, your height is just adorable to him.

kokushibo!! his sword is so cool :0
