A good number of Kimetsu no Yaiba profiles feature Extrasensory Perception. Among these profiles are all of our demon slayer profiles, Daki, Nezuko, Muzan, Hantengu, Kokushibo and Doma with the justification being: Able to sense the presence of others and malicious intent. The manga does indeed have evidence for characters being able to sense presences and derive information from it.
The first demon Tanjiro and Nezuko encounter together in the series in chapter 2 remarks on having had a strange feeling because of Nezuko being a demon. Spider Demon Sister from the Natagumo Mountain arc remarked in chapter 38 that Nezuko had the presence of a demon. In chapter 43 Shinobu began charging for an attack on Nezuko from what appears to be a considerable distance even though Nezuko is lying on the ground with Tanjiro's body mostly blocking the view on her from the direction she was coming from. According to Enmu in chapter 55 there are demon slayers who can sense the bloodlust of demons. This is further exemplified by Rengoku's body detecting the presence of a girl trying to destroy his spiritual core without bloodlust and instinctively reacting accordingly in chapter 56. There is also Rengoku commenting on the auras of the Pillars in the Rengoku Gaiden. Tengen mentions having a bad feeling in chapter 72 which is in line with Muzan stating in chapter 74 that Pillars would sense that there are demons in the entertainment district right away. In chapter 79 Daki's sash was able to recognize Tengen as a Pillar based on his presence. Hantengu was stated to have hidden his presence in chapter 106 which caused Tanjiro and Muichiro not to realize that he was a demon before they saw him even though they noticed that someone was there. Another noteworthy thing from the same chapter is that they immediately realized that Hantengu was an Upper Moon even though the number was inside out and therefore not visible for them. Muichiro noticed Gyokko in chapter 110 even though he was in a pot among the bushes. Muzan was able to sense the presences of humans approaching from a considerable distance in chapter 138. Yushiro was not recognized as a demon when he disguised himself as one of the demon slayers in chapter 146 even though he felt odd to them with that being explicitly due to Tamayo being the one who made him one which indicates that demon slayers can generally sense if someone is a demon. Inosuke stated in a flashback from chapter 150 that he could sense the murderous intent of those who look at him.
Since all demon slayers and even a fodder demon are capable of sensing feats like this we can probably safely apply this on all the Kimetsu no Yaiba profiles that don't have it. I'd also like to change the justifications a bit to reflect the things they can do with it more and perhaps mention feats they performed in that context.
