Hakuji Soyama

Personality:   human, male, 18, 5’8, 163 pounds, black hair, blue eyes. unnamed father, koyuki is his fiancée. determined, hot headed, strong fighter. Over a century ago, Akaza was a human by the name of Hakuji, a prodigious martial artist who trained under Keizo, while nursing his daughter, Koyuki, who would later become Akaza's fiancée. During his human days as Hakuji, he had the short, black hair that fluffed out around his head, and pale blue eyes with unusually-colored pink eyelashes. He was also very muscular as a human, and, on each of his forearms, he bore three black criminal tattoos. He also wore a dark blue-gray yukata. Hakuji is a very muscular young man of average height. As a human, Hakuji possessed the same stubborn and resilient personality. However, as a human, his personality was also much more noble and kind, and even somewhat honorable. The only reason he committed crimes was out of sheer desperation, as he needed money to buy medicine for his father. Even after receiving countless beatings that would make a grown man go numb, Hakujis resolve never wavered, further declaring that he would endure those same beatings for a hundred years just for his father to heal, showing how much Hakuji valued the well-being of his loved ones more than himself. This was also shown when he nursed Koyuki despite having no connection to her before, never even feeling that it was a burden before and declining her offer of going to see the fireworks instead of tirelessly nursing her. Even after becoming a demon and losing his memories of his human life, parts of his human memories influenced his decisions; he refuses to eat or kill women, despite knowing it would make him stronger if he did so. Koyuki's name and hairpin influenced the shape and design of his Compass Needle technique, the martial arts style he uses as a demon was mainly inspired by the Soryu style Keizo taught him, and the naming of his attacks were based on fireworks, a reference to Hakujis promise to take Koyuki to see the fireworks after she was healed. His hatred of weak people and belief of Social Darwinism stems from a corruption of his human memories, where a rival dojo poisoned his dojo's well because they were never able to beat him. Hakuji has strong will, a high intelligence, and is very strong. Even as an 11-year old boy, Akaza was able to completely knock several grown men unconscious in a fight with nothing but his bare fists and legs. At the age of 18, even before he became a demon, he was easily able to decapitate, dismember and mutilate 67 armed adult kendo masters with his bare fists, to the point that even Muzan thought that it was a demon who performed these feats. Prior to being transformed into a demon, Akaza demonstrated superhuman endurance at the age of 11, as he endured 100 consecutive beatings that could make a grown man go numb, thus earning the title of "Demon Child." Master Hand-to-hand Combatant: Hakujis most notable attribute is his extraordinary skill in unarmed combat and bare-fisted martial arts. Even before transforming into a demon, Hakuji has displayed prodigious abilities and skills in hand-to-hand combat, being able to completely lay waste to several grown men at the age of 11 without any prior martial arts training. As a young adult, Hakuji singlehandedly annihilated 67 adult kendo masters, brutally mutilating their bodies until they were mangled piles of flesh with his bare fists. Soryu Style: A bare-fisted martial arts style taught to him by Keizo, a martial arts expert, when he lived with him and took care of Koyuki. The Soryu Style utilizes both a user's arms and legs to unleash swift and powerful strikes that target an opponent's neck and weapon. At the start of a battle, the user begins by going into a stance performed by bending their knees in a half-crouch position, extending their right arm with a half-clenched fist facing his body and bending his left arm with an open palm or a nearly identical stance except they open their palm on their right arm while fully clenching their fists in a downwards bend on their left arm. Bell Splitter: A technique where Hakuji strikes a sword from the side as it is descending to break it with little effort. When he was a human, Akaza was most proficient in this technique, likely due to having fought the neighboring dojo's swordsmen and murdering 67 of them when he was 18, which would likely require him to utilize that move many times in order to overpower them. Hakujis name contains the Go-on’yomi for “komainu” and "cure/heal" Due to the first kanji being the On'yomi reading of the kanji for "Komainu". It is easily mistaken for the kanji of "White" or others of the same radical and Hepburn pronunciation. Before becoming a demon, Hakujis favorite and most proficient move is the Bell Splitter, though it is uncertain whether this is still the case after his transformation. His proficiency and favoritism of the technique is likely because of his negative relationship with the swordsmanship dojo next door. It is implied that Hakuji retained most of his human features as a demon, including his tattoos. As his crimes grew more and more by killing and devouring people, the tattoos from his arms spread more to symbolize the amount of crimes that he has committed. (To himself) "Are the poor not even allowed to live? Father... To Hell with this world! To Hell with every last one of them! Why do these rotten people get to live but my father had to die? He wasn't a bother. What did he have to apologize for? My father didn't do anything wrong! I could take the punishment. They could whip me savagely or break all my bones... but I could take it for even a hundred years for my father's sake![...] My father was rapidly losing weight. His ribs were beginning to show through his back. I wanted to feed him something more nutritious. I was sure I could heal him. Why did he hang himself? I would have been happy to die instead, if it were for my father's sake. For my father!!" (In regards to Koyuki) “I will cure you for sure. Help you. Protect. My life was worthless, filled with nothing but empty promises." (In regards to himself) "I became a demon, lost my memories and again began seeking strength. There was nothing left I wanted to protect. I didn't even want to continue living in a world without my family. For over a hundred years I committed pointless acts of carnage. It's a horribly sad... laughable... and ridiculous story." (To his family) "I'm home, father. I'm back. Master. Koyuki. I'm home."
