Demon Eyes Kyo

Demon Eyes Kyo (鬼眼の狂, Onime-no-Kyō?) his real name is Mibu Kyo, is a legendary man, known for his red, demon-like eyes, and called the "Thousand Slayer" for killing over one thousand samurai during the Battle of Sekigahara before being defeated by a young man named Mibu Kyoshiro. After being defeated, his mind fused with Mibu, and his body was hidden away somewhere in the forest of Aokigahara. He is very sadistic and enjoys slaughtering anyone. Over time, his bloodlust slowly decreases, though he still kills without mercy. It continues to peak at times, though training with Muramasa helps fully calm him. During this time period when he first meets Yuya, he finds himself very protective over her, though handling it in a very childish manner, such as calling her "Dog face" and " Ugly". Though it is stated by Kyoshiro in the manga that he indeed likes Yuya, and shown in the anime to the extent where he saves her life whenever she is endangered, he doesn't like to admit the fact that he cares about her. In the anime, it is shown that he indeed likes Sakura, but the manga didn't directly say that they are lovers once. Later on, Kyo is shown to lose a bit of control when Yuya was on the verge of death, due to the water dragon egg that Shinrei planted inside her heart (she only had 60 days to live until the dragon eats its way out of her heart, unless Kyo comes to find him in the Mibu Clan Territory). Also, he was enraged when Kyoshiro, in Kyo's original body (both men have swapped bodies at that time), took the dying Yuya away from him after he had defeated Nobunaga's spirit that was possessing Nozomu's body. While Yuya is injured by Nobunaga, Kyoshiro comes and saves Yuya by taking her away. This illustrates that Kyoshiro is very tender towards Yuya and likes her a bit since she is so bubbly. At this point, Kyo is in chaos and proclaimed "Give me my body and my women back". Therefore, they love each other and the manga gives more depth into their relationship. The anime also indirectly shows the affection that he has, such as letting Yuya hit him when no one else dares to since he is the thousand man slayer. In the manga, Yuya slaps him couple times, and he doesn't do anything. When he is with Yuya he lets his guard down. In the manga, Kyo is a pervert and his number 1 target is Yuya, who he love to molest her breast. It is extremely weird that there is Okuni who is right there for her, but he prefer Yuya because that is his love. For once, Demon Eyes Kyo the thousand man slayer learn to love and care for someone and change not just his blood thrist, but also his life. This point is always stated by other characters that Yuya is his weakness ans that why Akira and shinrei use her as a hostage to aggravate Kyo.

Kyo's weapon is Tenro, one of the "Four Great Demon Blades." It was forged by Muramasa, and it is nearly unbreakable. His sword style is The Sword of a Devilish Wind (無明神風流殺人剣, Mumyou Jinpuu Ryuu Satsujin Ken?), which was taught to him by Muramasa. It teaches standard fencing skills and defense, but they are far more powerful than any of the skills of other sword styles. It is the most powerful sword school in the Mibu Clan. It utilizes attacks that can cut air and create illusions. He later learns a higher form of the style that utilizes the Four Symbols (Genbu, Seiryuu, Byakko, Suzaku and even Kouryuu), manifesting a number of different powers based upon the creatures.

Kyo is the last remaining True Mibu and has the True Red eyes, which allows him to turn into a Battle God or Demon God. After he turns into the Battle God and suppresses his battle lust, he is granted the mark, and thus the title of the Aka no Ou. Kyo was born in the Mibu village and was friends with the former Aka no Ou. Once the Aka no Ou turned evil, Muramasa took Kyo from the village so that he may grow up to be the 'hope' of the Mibu clan. Kyo travelled the world and formed the Shiseiten in order to become strong enough to return to the Mibu village and defeat the former Aka no Ou. By the end of the series, he is acknowledged as the strongest fighter in the series. In the bonus chapter of the manga Yuya and Kyo live together.
