Summary
Gyutaro (妓夫太郎 Gyūtarō) is one of the primary antagonists in the Entertainment District Arc of Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is a demon affiliated with the Twelve Kizuki, holding the position of Upper Rank 6 (上弦の陸 Jōgen no Roku), a position he shares with his younger sister, Daki. As a Demon Rank, Gyutaro is one of the closest servants of the King of Demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, whose main purpose is to find the Blue Spider Lily so that Muzan can gain immunity from the sun.
Over a century ago, Gyutaro was a human who worked as a debt collector in the Rashomon Riverbank of Yoshiwara, Tokyo, the lowest class in the Entertainment District, before he and Daki were turned into demons personally by Doma, who was Upper Rank 6 at the time.

- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3 & 8 - Gyutaro cannot be killed unless his sister Daki is also killed simultaneously)

- Battle Spirit, Limited Fear Manipulation & Paralysis Inducement (Overwhelming Aura that causes the opponent fear and paralysis with them feeling the air getting heavier, and can even cause internal bleeding and external lacerations. Caused fear in Tanjiro Kamado)
- Enhanced Senses (Demons can easily smell blood and poison being able to differentiate more or less nutritious blood types. Has excellent perception and awareness. Was able to hear Tengen's heart stop while in the middle of fighting him.)
- Extrasensory Perception (Able to sense the presence of others and malicious intent, this can be used to differentiate humans and demons, determine how strong someone is to a certain extent or detect an enemy in the vicinity)
- Adaptation (Adapted to the Wisteria poison used on him)
- Fusionism (Can merge his own body with that of his sister's)
- Statistics Amplification (Can strengthen all of his sister's existing abilities through sharing a telepathic connection with her through his "core")

- Weapon Control (Was able to make his sickles which he threw at Tengen fly back to him, Controlled his dual Kama to extend and trap Tengen's and Tanjiro's weapons)
- Homing Attack (He can make his Flying Blood Sickles follow his target through controlling them)
- Poison Manipulation (His Kama are coated in poison. The poison is strong enough that it would almost instantly kill someone inflicted with it, and those who don't will be severely weakened and might be rendered unable to fight. Even Tengen who has developed a high tolerance to poison from his shinobi training was greatly weakened by Gyutaro's poison to the point he had to forcefully stop his heart to prevent it from spreading even further and antidotes were ineffective on him after the fight was over. The poison had much worse effects on Tanjiro and Inosuke, despite the latter having some form of natural poison resistance, with Inosuke claiming that a single scratch from one of Gyutaro's blood slashes would be enough to kill him. Tanjiro was almost immediately incapacitated when he was inflicted by Gyutaro's poison while Inosuke was left in a near-death state after a while. Muzan's blood can be slowed down momentarily by breathing techniques but not Gyutaro's. Tengen had the most amount of poison resistance and got messed up by the poison before the main fight even started)
- Blood Manipulation (Can use his blood for various attacks and freely manipulate and control his Flying Blood Sickles)
- Absorption (Tengen believed that he could have absorbed[1] Daki)
- Limited Healing (Was able to reattach his sister's head for her and heal her burnt tissue)
- Limited Information Analysis (Demons can perceive details like blood type, sickness and genes)
Resistance to:
- Disease Manipulation (Demons don't get sick)
- Fear Manipulation & Paralysis Inducement (Able to withstand aura that causes fear and paralysis)
- Poison Manipulation (Gained a Resistance to Wisteria Poison. Even when he was hit with kunai that was coated with wisteria extract that could paralyze an ordinary demon for half a day and seal the movements of Lower Ranks, Gyutaro still shook it off and managed to regenerate instantly.)
- Pain Manipulation (Showed immense resilience to pain when he twisted his own neck backwards to block Tengen's sword attack and had both his legs sliced off, not displaying any signs of pain in either instances. Gyutaro can casually scratch his face with his left eye included bloody. Even before becoming a demon, Gyutaro was able to get slashed in the back by a katana and didn't flinch nor show any signs of pain)
Attack Potency: Building level (He is the true Holder of the Position of Upper Rank Six and much stronger than his sister. Managed to fight Tengen Uzui and Post-Rehabilitation Tanjiro Kamado at the same time and overwhelm them. Tanjiro needed a hundred times more than his usual strength, and awaken his Demon Slayer Mark, to cut his neck off. Despite the fact that he was decapitated, Gyutaro was still capable of creating long-ranged tornados of razor sharp blood that decimated the surroundings with ease severely, injuring and maiming Tengen, Tanjiro, and Inosuke, and would have likely killed them if it wasn't for Nezuko's own unique Blood Demon Art saving them. Muzan said that Daki was holding Gyutaro back and that Gyutaro would've killed Tengen, Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke all by himself if he had been the one fighting from the beginning)
Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Casually dodged a direct fatal attack while saving his sister Daki from Tengen Uzui, who can do this. All of this happened when Gyutaro was transforming out of Daki's body. Tengen considered Gyutaro to be fast. Can keep up with Tengen and Post-Rehabilitation Tanjiro at the same time, outpacing Tengen and blitzing Tanjiro during the fight. Is so fast that he appears to teleport, appearing in front of Tanjiro without him noticing at first, and then vanishing in front of Tengen and appearing on top of a building)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 25 (Should be superior to Enmu. Stopped one of Tengen's attacks with his teeth. Stopped the attacks of Tanjiro and Tengen at the same time and started absorbing them with his sickles)
Striking Strength: Building level (Managed to fight Tengen and Tanjiro at the same time and overwhelm them. Cut Tengen's arm off and slashed the left side of his face, resulting in the loss of Tengen's left eye. Stabbed Tanjiro through the jaw with his sickle.)
Durability: Unknown, Building level with his neck and kama (While the durability of a demon's body is inconsistent and can be hurt by weaker foes, their necks are their most durable body part and can tank attacks from characters who are comparable to their AP. When Tengen and Tanjiro both used their Nichirin Swords to attack Gyutaro's Kama made from his own flesh, it was to no avail as they couldn't even slice through it. When Tanjiro landed a surprise attack on Gyutaro's neck, his blade failed to make a dent in the Upper Rank's body. Tanjiro only managed to lob off Gyutaro's head when he "summoned a hundred times" the strength in his body, awakening his Demon Slayer Mark in the process, to successfully cut through his neck)
Stamina: Infinite (Demons don't tire)
Range: Standard Melee Range; Hundreds of Meters with his Blood Demon Art
Standard Equipment: A pair of Kama (Gyutaro carries around a pair of Kama fashioned from his own flesh and blood. They serve as his main tools in combat and are extremely durable and sharp, being able to tear through flesh and block attakcs from Nichirin Swords with ease. They are blood red in color and are coated with deadly poison. Gyutaro briefly displayed the ability to move his Kama telekinetically, making it fly back towards him as if it were a boomerang. When he was a child, Gyutaro possessed a similar Kama which someone left behind and was most likely his main source of inspiration for using a pair of Kama as a demon)
Intelligence: Above Average (Gyutaro displays incredible tactical foresight and intelligence. He is able to use the information he gathered from Daki to coordinate their attacks against his opponents and was able to figure out and avoid Tengen's usage of bombs. Gyutaro was also able to use his Blood Demon Art tactically to create inescapable attacks. After seeing Hinatsuru fire a barrage of kunai, Gyutaro correctly surmised that mounting an attack that would normally be easily mitigated by his regeneration had an underlying motive and chose to deflect the attack rather than taking it head on. He is also shown to use his flesh manipulation ability in creative ways, such as trapping Tengen's and Tanjiro's blade in his flesh Kama to keep them from moving. Lastly, Gyutaro figured out Tanjiro's strategy which was to disguise the scent of the wisteria-laced kunai with a prostitute's incense bag in order to land a surprise attack on him)
Weaknesses: Sunlight reduces him to ashes. Wisteria flowers are poisonous to him.
