In the Demon Slayer world, Demon Moons are the strongest demon under the command of Demon King Muzan. They are divided into two groups. The upper and lower ranks. Upper rank are the Upper Moons consisting of:

  • Kokushibo
  • Doma
  • Akaza
  • Hantengu
  • Gyokko
  • Daki and Gyutaro

Upper Moons are a lot more powerful and often ruthless than the lower ranks. So much so that lower ranks are hunted by the Upper Moons. Due to this lower ones have been replaced many times. But that doesn’t mean that Upper Moons are irreplaceable. They have been replaced, though way less than the lower ones.

If you haven’t completed the anime, this might be a spoiler for you. So only read further if you have finished Entertainment District Arc. In the battle of the Entertainment District Arc, we see the death of Daki and Gyutaro. Since they are dead, they’ll have to be replaced.

Their replacement is not shown in any of the anime adaptations for now. But if you are still curious then this is his name. The one that replaces them is called Kaigaku. He is promoted to that position. You might know him from Zenitsu’s flashback.

That’s all on the Six Demon Slayer Upper Moons. If you found this guide informative, you should check our Anime section. We have covered topics from many popular anime like One Piece, Haikyu, Chainsaw Man, Fire Force, and much more.
