Yuichiro Tokito

Yuichiro Tokito is the older twin brother of the Demon Hunter and Mist Pillar Muichirou Tokitou. .

History
Yuichiro and his younger twin brother, Muichiro, were born to a woodcutter and his wife. When they were 10, their mother caught a cold which developed into bronchitis and killed her. Their father, away at the time, went to fetch medicinal herbs during a storm and ended up falling off a cliff to his death.

The two siblings survived together, while Muichiro took after the emotive and kind nature of their father, Yuuichiro instead held a cold and impassive outlook on life.

In the following spring, Oyakata's wife Amane arrived to recruit them for the Demon Killing Corps. Muichiro's excitement was opposed by Yuichiro's unwelcoming and rejecting reception. In an outburst, Yuuichiro revealed that he blamed the death of their parents on their hardworking and selfless nature and adopted a cold outlook, hoping to keep himself and his brother alive.

While Amane continued to visit the twins, Yuichiro chased her away each time. In the following summer, a demon arrived at their cabin during the night and attacked, as a result Yuichiro lost his left arm while trying to protect Muichiro. As the demon badgered them for their worthlessness, Muichiro lost himself in a rage and destroyed the demon with all the tools at their disposal and wooden logs.

By sunrise, the demon withered into ash and Muichiro dragged himself back to the house. There, he found Yuuichiro near death praying to the heavens that his brother might survive. He laid there grasping his brother's hand as he died.
