Well, in the novel when Hakumen dragged Terumi's ghost into the Gate with him, Terumi panicked and screamed that his body (Kazuma) will disappear. I don't know why he would disappear without Terumi, but considering Terumi's reaction, he's most likely dead. Besides, Jubei closed the Gate, so he was there with Kazuma's body, and even if it was still viable (is that the right word?) the beastkin most likely finished him. Nothing was explicitly said, though, so you can still hope if you want.
