In the Manga, it is revealed that Mikoto is the son of a human woman and an Oni male named Gaki. He was entrusted to the village by Gaki after he ate his wife on accident. Though the village thought Gaki to be human, the village discovered a horn on Mikoto's head and tied him up to be publicly berated.

Appearance
Mikoto is constantly thought to be weak upon first encounters. He is young boy of average height and has dark, long hair and a very soft voice, due to which he is often mistaken as being a girl. In battle against Oni, he takes on a form of bloodlust that terrifies even those that care about him.

Personality
Mikoto has a nice personality and speaks softly to those around him. However, when in battle with an Oni, his bloodlust takes over and will enjoy killing any Oni without hesitation.

Chapter 1
Mikoto journeys to the Kingdom of Aldarake. He meets the princess Saltherine Aldarake, who asks him to hide her from the guards. Learning that he is a traveler, she invites him to stay at the castle and tell her about his journeys. Mikoto finds Aldarake to be a nice place, peaceful with kind people, but Sally finds it boring. The next day, Sally is surprised to learn that Mikoto is a boy. While walking around the castle, he sees Yaki, an Oni. He goes out and finds group of Oni led by Moki. He asks Moki if he was the one that destroyed the kingdom in the north and as Moki confirms, he cuts off his arm. Mikoto then proceeds and kill all Oni and then finishes Moki. Initially Sally wanted to go with him, but seeing all the dead Oni, she stops. Mikoto then continues on his journey with Dog.

Power & Abilities
Mikoto Kibitsu holds a long katana in his left hand and probably uses it to swing it at enemies at a swift of his blade. He is a skilled combatant and one of the most proficient at killing in the whole series. His daring looks also show that he’s probably the type of boy who takes matters into his own hands and would rather work solo instead of working in a team. His cold demeanour however attracts more comrades as they console him that he doesn’t have to do things alone. but the bright side about him is he doesn’t take things for granted and he always sees a bright future ahead for the future of his comrades. but let’s get onto his abilities.
