Etymology
Chōno (蝶乃, Chōno) - Chō (蝶, Chō) means butterfly and no (乃, no) is a Chinese character used as a possessive particle, now only used in personal names. Together, his surname can mean "of the butterflies". This is referenced to his self created breathing style The Breath of Butterflies.
Maito (舞人, Maito) means "dancer." Referencing to his dance-like movements he incorporates into his techniques.
Abilities
Overall Abilities: As a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Maito is a very powerful and skilled combatant. He is said to have completed the Final Selection within a mere two months of training. His abilities were put on display during the Sakura Festival Arc where he quickly subdued and defeated a group of demons created by Fifth Star Ranked, Gyo, and later played a big part in the fight against Fourth Star Rangked, Tengu, specifically against his clone, "Zohakuten", which possesses the combined strength of four Upper Rank demons. With the help of his Demon Slayer Mark, Maito was able to fend off the incredibly powerful Upper Rank until sunrise. During the Dark Castle Arc, Maito held his own against the newly appointed Upper Rank Four, Nakime. Afterwards, he managed to land a surprise technique on the Demon Queen herself, Mizuki Kanzaki, and played his part in the fight to stall for sunrise.
Demon Slayer Mark: Maito manifests his Demon Slayer Mark during his fight with Upper Star 2, Kaedae. His mark depicted a beautifully decorated and intricate butterfly on his left cheek. His mark enhances all of his already superhuman abilities. When he gets his mark and starts fighting Kaedae with his mark, Kaedae is overpowered for a little bit, taken by surprise as she remarks that it's a shame that she didnt have this power already and wasn't a demon too.
Enhanced Flexibility: Maito has been noted to possess an extremely flexible body, allowing him to achieve a wide range of motion. He has incorporated his innate flexibility into his Butterfly Breathing techniques, successfully using it to outpace and counterattack Zohakuten's techniques without much trouble.
Immense Speed & Reflexes: As a Hashira, Maito is an extremely fast individual. Despite this, he is the slowest runner out of all his Hashira brethren. However, his techniques have been noted to be faster than the Sound Hashira, Tengen Uzui II, who, in stark contrast to his, is the fastest runner out of the nine Hashira.
Fighting Style
Master Swordswoman: As a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Maito is one of the most powerful and skilled swordsman in the entire organization. His fighting style is incredibly unique, but as effective as traditional swordsmanship styles. Maito's swordplay specializes in sword thrusting and piercing techniques in order to inject poison into demons. His sword thrusts are so fast and powerful that they can pierce boulders and out-speed Water Breathing's Drop Ripple Thrust form, the fastest thrusting technique in that Breathing Style.
Breathing Style
Butterfly Breathing (蝶かわひらこの呼吸こきゅ, Kawahirako no kokyū) is a Breathing Style derived from Insect Breathing which itself comes from Flower Breathing.
It replicates butterflies, especially the gracefulness and agility of the creature and replicates it into the users movements, techniques, and abilities. All of the techniques involve complex movements, jumps, and speeds. If the user has mastered Butterfly Breathing, visualize themselves creating and manipulating butterflies when unleashing techniques.
