Hantengu

Hantengu's main body is a small, gaunt old man with a skeletal, wrinkled frame webbed with veins, usually shown hunched or crouching. A large lump sits atop his head between two curved horns, his brow lacks eyebrows, and his narrow squinting eyes show red sclera around golden irises engraved with the marks of his rank. His face is fixed in a permanent grimace of fright.

He wears a split kimono, one half black with wavy yellow lines and the other a plain dark red, paired with zori sandals and a violet sash. As a human he looked nearly the same minus the demonic traits, dressed in a similar striped robe. His emotional clones each take a distinct form, such as the tall, muscular, sharp-eyed Sekido born from his rage.

The primary Hantengu is a coward driven by paranoia and constant panic, crawling rather than walking and crying out at the slightest disturbance. Even in battle he hides and trembles, hoping his clones will finish off any threat for him.

Underneath the timidity sits a deeply delusional narcissist. He insists he is a wholly honest and blameless victim despite a long record of theft and murder, refusing all accountability and even claiming his hands act on their own. As a human his violent streak surfaced early, and he repeatedly took wives and fathered children only to kill them in a fury whenever his lies were exposed, always convinced he was the wronged party. His hatred-clone Zohakuten and his resentment-clone Urami both echo this belief that he is unjustly persecuted.

As the fourth-ranked member of the Twelve Kizuki, Hantengu is enormously powerful, though he never fights directly. Through his Blood Demon Art he produces four clones, each a manifestation of one emotion and each wielding the strength of an Upper Rank along with its own ability, letting him swarm opponents.

His most cunning trait turns decapitation against the slayers. Beheading the main body releases Sekido and Karaku, beheading those two unleashes Aizetsu and Urogi, and further beheadings achieve nothing while the true body survives. The four clones held off Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Genya together, and once fused into Zohakuten he singlehandedly fought all three plus the Love Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji. Their individual powers span electricity, wind blasts, projected spears, sonic screams, and control over wood. He debuts in Chapter 98 and Episode 45.
