The warrior Muzan feared was a swordsman named Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Yoriichi was the only slayer before
It is revealed that Muzan's true fear of dying and immense desire to live and survive was due to him being born "dead," where his heart would constantly stop in his mother's womb and was assumed stillborn until he fought to breathe before his cremation.
Between all of Tanjiro's skills and his mannerisms, Muzan is certainly scared of Tanjiro. Tanjiro represents and certainly ends up being the core threat to Muzan's quest to step back into the sunlight.
The only Demon he despises the most is the Upper Rank Two: Doma. It is quite a shocker that the second most potent Demon in the Demon Slayer is not Muzan's favorite.
Kokushibo was loyal to Muzan, acting as enforcer to the Twelve Kizuki. In return, Muzan sees him as a business partner, possibly due to his fanatic loyalty to him, being his strongest Demon and because the two were jointly responsible for almost exterminating Sun Breathing.
Muzan himself never thought highly of Daki and didn't reciprocate her devotion whatsoever, only ever talking to her to sweetly manipulate her into defeating Demon Slayers on his behalf.
Even 400 years later, Muzan's fear of Yoriichi remained fully intact, as simply laying eyes on Tanjiro's hanafuda earrings caused him to recall their clash.
Despite being a blood-thristy demon who has murdered several people, he has a set of principles he adheres to. One thing that Demon Slayer fans have noticed is that Akaza refuses to eat or kill women. Additionally, the Demon King, Muzan, gave Akaza special permission to do so.

The demon slayers successfully defeated Muzan.
Haruka Shiraishi: Muzan's Daughter.
Akaza was also one of Muzan's favorite demons out of all his subordinates. The reason behind this is Akaza's extreme loyalty to his master. The Upper Rank Three demon was always sent away on special missions, something the Upper Rank 1 and 2 were often denied of.
Since he didn't know anything about the Blue Spider Lily medicine, he needed others to find the plant for him by happenstance. This is the general reason why Muzan turned Nezuko into a demon. More specifically though, was the fact that Nezuko was of Kamado blood.
The only thing he's weak to is the sun. That is why he turned other humans into demons and spread his blood so that one of them might find a solution against the sunlight, so he can become truly perfect.
The curse prevents Muzan's name from being spoken aloud, and any who do will meet a horrible demise. One demon, Susamaru, faced this reality when battling Tamayo. Susamaru accidentally shot Muzan's name aloud, attempting to defend his honor with her mind clouded.
The flashback also reveals that Yoriichi had a twin brother named Michikatsu Tsugikuni, who became a Demon Slayer but later turned into a demon and became Upper Moon One, Kokushibo.
Daki is highly sexualized despite being biologically thirteen years old. While it could be argued that her sexualization is part of her story, as she is a courtesan, it still can leave more mature fans feeling a little weird.
For those who have watched only the first season of the anime, they will be surprised to know that Muzan turns into a woman in the second season. He keeps transforming in order to hide his true identity, and he's even known to change into an 11-year-old child to hide from Demon slayers.
Anne was originally planned to be Muzan`s older sister, who died by the hand of a Demon Slayer but that idea was scrapped, as the author knew practically nothing about Muzan`s early life. Instead, Anne became his wife, by which he had two children.
Despite losing his memories, Akaza was noted to have subconsciously retained his strong feelings for Koyuki, this is seen where Doma noted that Akaza absolutely refused to kill and eat women during his hundreds of years as a Demon, despite his obsessive desire for more strength and power.
Akaza. Because of his desire to become stronger and Doma's strength allowing him to surpass himself to become Upper Two, Akaza harboured an intense hatred of Doma.
History. Doma was born with beautiful and rare rainbow colored eyes. Because of this unusual trait, his parents thought that he was able to hear the voices of God and was groomed to be the religious leader of the Eternal Paradise Cult, a position that he held until his death.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the first swordsmen to ever use Breathing Styles, once nearly killed Muzan with Sun-Breathing, and Muzan has been both physically and psychologically scarred ever since.
We watched Tanjiro spend most of the episode battling against an extremely cool mechanical doll, the Yoriichi Type Zero, under the tutelage of young swordswmith Kotetsu until the pair were surprised by a treasure hidden inside.
Rimuru Tempest becomes a God towards the end of the series and can travel back in time and travel between worlds. His space-time abilities alone would be enough to beat Yoriichi. This character is often stated to be stronger than Goku, despite the community being quite divided on this topic.
