KYOUDO HIKARI is a major supporting antagonist of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. She is a Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Corps and the current Sky Hashira. Hikari is also a demon affiliated with the TWELVE KIZUKI, who holds the position of Upper Moon Three after Akaza's disappearance.
˙ . ꒷ 🍰 . 𖦹˙— ABILITY. As the holder of the third highest position in the Twelve Kizuki, Hikari is an exceptionally powerful demon, being the second highest ranking member in the Twelve Kizuki and the fourth strongest demon in existence. Her combination of combative prowess, her Sky Breathing technique, and her potent umbra-aerokinetic Blood Demon Art in battle is powerful enough to overwhelm even the most powerful unranked demons without any difficulty.
── .✦ Due to her past hatred of humans and the influence of Upper Rank Two, Doma, Hikari is clinically apathetic; she is completely incapable of feeling any human emotion. Hikari covers her emotionlessness with a cold, uncaring façade that is able to trick all but the most keen observers. Tengen Uzui is the only human able to discern her true disposition due to his empathetic skill, and concluded that Hikari rejects all emotion because she was scared to experience the concept that seemed alien to her.
── .✦ Hikari possesses the ability to change her entire physical stature as long as she has an image in her mind of what she wants to look like. This is shown during her mission assigned to her by Muzan, when she transformed into a male version of herself. This consisted of changing her bodily stature to a slightly more toned, muscular version, shortening her hair, and even hiding the daiji on her eyes to conceal her identity as Upper Rank Three. This has managed to fool the Demon Slayer Corps for over four years, as nobody has managed to figure out who she truly is.

TECHNIQUES.
Breath of the Sky has eight known techniques and forms at minimum.
FORM I. SUN'S PROVINCE - The user slashes their sword left, right, and ahead of them, with each wave of mist directing towards the target and slashing them.
FORM II. CLOUDED VISION - The user emits a cloud of fog from their sword, before jumping over and behind their opponent leaving a visible silhouette of themselves at their initial position. Then, the user slashes the target from their right side to their left, aiming to disconnect their torso from their lower body.
FORM III. STRIKE OF THE SKY - The user goes to slash the target from the left, but quickly jumps to the right and aims to slice through the target's neck. If the user misses, they have the ability to twirl their sword in the air and blur the target's vision for a recorded average of two minutes. However, this then heightens the target's sense of hearing until their vision is naturally restored.
FORM IV. BREWING STORM - The user points their swordtip onto the ground, releasing lightning from the blade that gradually gets more powerful the further into the ground the sword goes. The lightning generated then locks onto the target, not dissipating until the target is hit.
FORM V. SPORTLESS SKY - The user performs multiple slashes from multiple angles that slice through the target, and the target's blood is immediately disintegrated when it leaves their body.
FORM VI. RAINSTORM - The user slashes the air in front of them, generating invisible slashes that direct towards the target and fall from the sky above the user, before aggressively landing and cutting the target.
FORM VII. AFTER SUNSET - The user generates bolts of electricity that fly over and past the target, before turning around and striking the target from behind.
FORM VIII. PURITY - The user takes a powerful, battle-ready stance, and is enveloped in a white flame-like aura. All external and internal injuries are healed in a matter of seconds, and any lost limbs are regenerated. The user's sword is also enveloped in the white flame, and generates bolts of electricity that strike the target without any necessary movement from the user. The user then rushes forward, aiming to decapitate the target.
