I don't know for Animes/Mangas , but there was a Korean Gacha Mobile Game that was 100% a copy of it.

whats that game and which came first is it Demon Slayer or that game?

The first released was Kimetsu no Yaiba , 5 years before this Game.

It actually the other way around demon slyer copied every major shounnen before it. Let start with nezoko and tangiro their situation is very similar to Edward and Alphonse Elric. Demons and feudal japan can be found in inuyasha and samurai X .

settings and themes are not exactly what im looking for since they are so broad like Inuyasha and Samurai X are not the first shows to use Demons and Feudal Japan setting

Oh , the way you wrote your OP sounded like you wanted to look for a copycat of Kimetsu no Yaiba rather than the opposite.
I don't think it plagied anything , but it use almost all the tropes of the genre & the Japanese folklore of Youkais.

Idk if you meant Dororo. But I guess Dororo can be the closest to Demon slayer. It came decades before KnY. It had the same samurai era setting. The main protagonists are a duo where one is trying to regain humanity back, and the other is helping them to do so.

In Dororo(anime/manga), Hyakkimaru is fighting to get his body and humanity back, Dororo is helping, but Hyakkimaru does all the fighting with Dororo assisting him.

In KnY, Nezuko is trying to get her humanity back assisting Tanjiro, but Tanjiro is doing all the fighting for her.

I like demon slayer but I doubt many shounen manga will take inspiration from it… It’s just too generic. Doesn’t bring many new ideas to the table or really break any new ground, at least from what the anime has adapted so far.

It is just a poor and cheap copy of JoJo's Phantom Blood but worse, plus it copied some things about Gintama too.

Nah I misunderstood their question. I thought they meant series that copied Demon Slayer, not what series Demon Slayer copied. I know of Dororo, it’s one of my favorite series.

Then I recommend you watch Dororo. It has really good characters and both the protagonists as well as the antagonists are very well written characters imo.

It is one of the oldest known anime, atleast in MAL. it was from the late 60's, which had a remake in 2019 by MAPPA and Tezuka production to celebrate a 50 years anniversary.

Also the thing is
You can't find any unique themes in Demon slayer's characters except akaza

It's just opposite of jjk characters
While in later character designs are too same, their characters are entirely different.

While in Demon slayer while the character designs are entirely unique , they just follow the generic trope (which ain't bad)

everything has tropes though so its not something new, tropes are the reason there is no originality anymore but just better execution is whats important now

that's not true
You can still make things unique
While jjk took elements of bleach

The character theme of gojo went it's own unique path after hidden inventory , geto gojo dynamics and parallels just made the execution a lotta better

Itadori's character changed after Shibuya,his being a secondary mc is the first time for me seeing in battle shonen

Megumis character changed after death painting,his character troupe is same , but his ideology makes him unique

There is akaza too
And chainsaw man too
