Muzan Kibutsuji

Muzan Kibutsuji (鬼舞辻 無惨) is a Demon, the first of his kind, and the progenitor of most other Demons. He is also the enemy of the Kamado family. He is the one that killed the Kamado family, turned Nezuko Kamado into a demon and made Tanjirou Kamado an orphan.

Appearance
He looks like a man in his late twenties. Has curly black hair and eyes somewhat small, his pupils are vertical like cat eyes and plum red. Has on a white fedora with red ribbon and a somewhat extravagant outfit.

Muzan has the ability to change his appearance as shown in the manga. During his meeting with the Lower Moon's, he arrived disguised as a woman wearing a yukata and was not recognized by the demons.

Personality
Muzan is a ruthless individual that wants his every plan to be perfect. He isn't kind to his progenies only if they failed a mission or being incompetent. Also gives praise to those that are successful in their missions. He does not take his enemies seriously. He also dislikes being questioned and ordered by his progenies. He is also a narcissist.

History
Muzan was diagnosed with a disease that will kill him before he reached the age of 20. He sought medical assistance from Blue Spider Lily, but he turned into a demon as a result.

Asakusa Arc
Traveling through a crowd in Asakusa with his family, Muzan is accosted by an angry Kamado Tanjirou. His daughter asked him who the young Demon Hunter was, and he asked the youth if there was something he wanted from him. His wife then approached them, asking if Tanjirou was somebody familiar to their family. He denied this, wondering if the youth had mistaken them for somebody else. He then quickly slashed a passing man, turning him into a Demon.

Abilities and Powers
Powers and Abilities:  Regeneration even having his body destroyed and his head completely destroyed wouldn't kill him), Extrasensory Perception (Can feel demons' and humans' presences, as well as bloodlust), Absorption was going to absorb Tamayo, and planned to absorb spikes that penetrated his flesh, as well as planning to eat Nezuko to obtain her immunity to the sun, Adapted to become immune to being beheaded by blades created with sunlight imbued metal. Should be capable of adapting to poisons better than other higher moon demons, who became resistant to wisteria poison [which kills normal demons in seconds], and was adapting to a poison made to transform demons into humans),  Biological Manipulation/ Power Bestowal through blood,  Blood Manipulation, Telepathy of those he shared his blood with Teleportation and  Spatial Manipulation with Dimensional Infinity Fortress,  Resistance to poisons.

Immortality:  Since he took Blue Spider Lily medicine, he can live many centuries without aging, immunity to diseases.

Durability: At least superior to Tanjirou. Was hit by an explosion that reduced a house to mostly ashesmostly intact.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Shapeshifting: Muzan can control his body's shape and even his presence, making him able to transform into someone completely different without even those with extrasensory perception noticing, though he cannot fool Kamado Tanjirou's smell. The shapeshifting allows him to become a child, and adult, a woman, or even to grow a pillar of flesh, eyes, and mouths to eat others, or a cocoon of flesh to dilate and adapt to poisons.

Demon Blood: His blood causes every cell in the body of those that it enters the body to transform, transforming them into demons. This gives them several powers by default (enhanced strength and senses, high-mid regeneration, eternal youth and shapeshifting), might possibly give extra powers (Caster demons obtain blood arts, which can vary from simple thread manipulation to spatial manipulation), but comes with several drawbacks (sun will reduce the demons to ashes, items imbued with the sun's energy will kill if used to decapitate the demon, wisteria flowers become deadly poisonous to them, and they have craving for human flesh). Overdose will cause the cells to break down one by one.

Blood Techniques: Techniques obtained through the manipulation of his blood, they greatly vary in effect.
 * Curse: Muzan also gains several boons over those that have his blood in them, such as being able to read their mind, feel their location, and become able to destroy every cell in their body if he so wishes. The curse was however broken twice by demons unwilling to eat humans and pacifistic natures.

Black Blood Technique: Chain of Thorns: Essentially several telekinetically controlled barbed wire that wraps around the enemy to kill them.

Weaknesses: The sun turns him into ashes and only the Breath of the Sun user can defeat him.
