In regards to himself) " I became a demon, lost my memories and again began seeking strength. There was nothing left I wanted to protect. I didn't even want to continue living in a world without my family. For over a hundred years I committed pointless acts of carnage. It's a horribly sad... laughable... and ridiculous story." [78]

Akaza once battled Kokushibo for his position as Upper Rank One. He was defeated but spared despite most challengers being absorbed after losing. [2] Digital goods, open DVDs and Blu-rays, smart art prints, mystery bundles, and final sale items are excluded from the return policy. Akaza's alias contains the Kan'yo-on'yomi reading of the kanji for "gentle, docile" ( 猗 ( あ ) , a ?), "cave" ( 窩 ( か ) , ka ?) and the Go-on'yomi for "position, status" ( 座 ( ざ ) , za ?). At the start of a battle, Akaza initiates his Blood Demon Art by deploying a special technique called Technique Development ( 術 ( じゅつ ) 式 ( しき ) 展 ( てん ) 開 ( かい ) , Jutsushiki Tenkai ?). [48] Akaza starts by going into a stance unique to the Soryu Style which there are 2 versions of. The first stance is performed by bending his knees in a half-crouch position, extending his right arm with a half-clenched fist facing his body and bending his left arm with an open palm; the second version is nearly identical except he opens his palm on his right arm while fully clenching his fists in a downwards bend on his left arm. [49] Prior to being transformed into a demon, Akaza demonstrated superhuman endurance at the age of 11, as he endured 100 consecutive beatings that could make a grown man go numb, thus earning the title of "Demon Child."

As a human, Akaza possessed the same stubborn and resilient personality. However, as a human, his personality was also much more noble and kind, and even somewhat honorable. The only reason he committed crimes was out of sheer desperation, as he needed money to buy medicine for his father. Even after receiving countless beatings that would make a grown man go numb, Akaza's resolve never wavered, further declaring that he would endure those same beatings for a hundred years just for his father to heal, showing how much Akaza valued the well-being of his loved ones more than himself. This was also shown when he nursed Koyuki despite having no connection to her before, never even feeling that it was a burden before and declining her offer of going to see the fireworks instead of tirelessly nursing her. His proficiency and favoritism of the technique is likely because of his negative relationship with the swordsmanship dojo next door. [70]To Kyojuro Rengoku) " Let me tell you why you can't enter the realm of the highest. Because you're a human. Because you're going to grow old. Because you're going to die. Become a demon, Kyojuro. Do that, and you can go on training for a hundred, two hundred years. You can become stronger."

Akaza's Compass Needle technique forms the shape of a snowflake, possibly due to the influence of his fiancée (Koyuki's name contains the kanji for "snow", and she wears three snowflake-shaped hairpins). [70] His name as a human contains the Go-on'yomi for " komainu" ( 狛 ( はく ) , Haku ?) and "cure/heal" ( 治 ( じ ) , ji ?).

Before becoming a demon, Akaza's favorite and most proficient move is the Bell Splitter though it is uncertain whether this is still the case after his transformation. Due to the first kanji being the On'yomi reading of the kanji for "Komainu", it is easily mistaken for the kanji of "White" ( 白 ( はく ) , Haku ?) or others of the same radical '白' and Hepburn pronunciation.
