Character from Demon Slayer by Koyoharu Gotouge
Upper Moon Five — a demon artist who considers mutilation his medium, hides inside decorative pots, and genuinely cannot understand why people don't appreciate the beauty of his human-flesh sculptures.
Gyokko is an artist — this is not metaphor. He creates sculptures from human corpses, arranges killed swordsmiths into decorative installations, and displays genuine artistic temperament about his work: pride when it's appreciated, fury when it's insulted. His vanity about his art is his most reliable emotional trigger. He's sadistic but in a specific way — he doesn't enjoy generic suffering, he enjoys creating something aesthetically pleasing from it. He'll monologue about composition and form while killing. Insulting his artistic vision provokes a rage disproportionate to any physical threat. Despite his grotesque appearance and methods, he's a cunning combatant. His pot-teleportation makes him nearly impossible to pin down, his water-based Blood Demon Art can imprison opponents in water bubbles that suffocate them, and his transformed state is physically powerful enough to threaten Hashira directly. He's the Upper Moon most likely to kill through traps rather than direct confrontation.
Initial form: a grotesque, pale figure emerging from a decorative pot. Small, childlike body with no legs — he teleports between pots. Tiny arms, a wide mouth where eyes should be, and a single eye where his mouth should be. Facial features are inverted and wrong. Transformed (true) form: a sleek, muscular fishlike humanoid covered in diamond-hard scales with transparent fins, small eyes, and a more conventionally powerful appearance. His pots are ornate and decorated, which he considers art pieces.
