Muichiro Tokito

Muichiro Tokito is a Demon Hunter and the Mist Pillar of the Demon Killing Corps. .

Appearance
Muichiro is a young man of short stature, with long black hair finished in mint green, with eyes of the same color. He usually wears the Demon Hunter uniform.

Personality
Muichiro is an air-headed individual who seems to constantly wander off in thought and never focus on one thing. However, he has been shown to get serious at times and is devoted to his work as a Demon Hunter and the Mist Pillar. Impassive and at times obtuse, Muichiro tends to think only for himself and operates on logic alone.

Muichiro's original personality was much more caring and kind having taken after his father. Despite this, he always held an omnipresent rage deeply suppressed inside of him that inevitably drove his training. After his memories returned, Muichiro has been more emotive such as displaying sarcasm and smugness towards the fifth upper moon, Gyokko.

History
Muichiro and his twin older brother, Yuuichiro, were born to a woodcutter and his wife. While they were 10, their mother caught a cold. It eventually turned into bronchitis and killed her while in bed. Their father, away at the time, went to fetch medicinal herbs during a storm and wound 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. They often bickered and Muichiro considered being with him a living hell.

In the following spring, Oyakata's wife Amane arrived to recruit them for the Demon Killing Corps. Muichiro's excitement was opposed by Yuuichiro'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, Yuuichiro chased her away each time. In the following summer, a demon arrived at their cabin. Yuuichiro lost his left arm defending Muichiro. As the demon badgered them for their worthlessness, Muichiro lost himself in 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 the latter died and he slowly withered away. Amane and her daughters later arrived to heal him.

Afterwards, Muichiro would lose his memories and serve the Demon Killing Corps. He quickly rose to become a pillar while his memories would remain lost until battling in the Swordsmith Village. With his memories gone, he began taking after Yuuichiro's personality. He met Rengoku during this period in the Demon Killing Corps who told him to do the best they could as pillars.

His first blades were made by Tetsuido up until a heart attack that led to his death. Kanamori, following Tetsuido's techniques, created Muichiro's current blade.
