It is implied that Akaza retained most of his human features as a demon, including his tattoos. As his crimes grew more and more by killing and devouring people, the tattoos from his arms spread more to symbolize the amount of crimes that he has committed.

To Kyojuro Rengoku) " There were never any Flames among all the Hashira I've killed until now. And no one ever took me up on my offer, either. Why do you think that is? As a fellow martial artist, I just don't get it. Not when only the chosen ones can become demons!... Watching the hideous decline of someone blessed with extraordinary powers... it pains me! I can't bear it! Die, Kyojuro... while you're still young and strong." [74] His name as a human contains the Go-on'yomi for " komainu" ( 狛 ( はく ) , Haku ?) and "cure/heal" ( 治 ( じ ) , ji ?). 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]

To Kyojuro Rengoku) " Even if you fight to death, you can't win, Kyojuro. Those impressive slashes you inflicted on me... have already healed completely. But what about you? A smashed left eye, shattered ribs and damaged internal organs... all irreparable. If you were a demon, you'd heal in the blink of an eye. Those would be mere scratches to a demon. You can struggle all you want, but a human can never beat a demon." [74] Akaza was the only demon of the Twelve Kizuki who refused to eat or kill women, and was given special permission to do so. [72] In regards to Koyuki) " I will cure you for sure. Help you. Protect. My life was worthless, filled with nothing but empty promises." [77]Akaza is the only member of the deceased Upper Ranks who encountered the people he knew in life while fading into ash. There are two members of the Twelve Kizuki who have been shown experiencing this, the other being Rui. Comments that are not in accordance with the Guidelines and/or that violate TOM’s Terms of Use and/or other policies are eligible to be reported or removed. Akaza also possesses a deep hatred for his past life as a human, believing that it was absolutely worthless, and hated anyone or anything that reminded him of it, such as Tanjiro's own view of how the strong should help the weak and Giyu's unwavering resolve reminding Akaza of Keizo, both instances which he reacted to negatively.

Akaza was also able to simultaneously combat both the Water Hashira Giyu Tomioka and Tanjiro Kamado, a Hashira-level Demon Slayer, despite being outnumbered by the two and both of them utilizing their Demon Slayer Marks, dominating the majority of their battle and only losing to them once Tanjiro had accessed the Selfless State and Transparent World. Although Akaza was unable to defeat Kokushibo when he challenged him for his position of Upper Rank One, the latter decided to spare his life due to finding his challenge entertaining, [18] suggesting that Akaza was at least able to give Kokushibo a decent fight despite the power gap between the two.

[68] - Similar to his Ten Thousand Leaves Flashing Willow technique, Akaza leaps into the air and delivers a downward punch that shatters the ground.

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."
