¹Age when he died.

Tanjiro Kamado

Tanjiro in Demon Slayer

Demon Slayer'southward principal graphic symbol, Tanjiro's life got turned into a walking nightmare when a demon slaughtered his family and turned his sis, Nezuko, to the nighttime side. Driven by anger and love for his sibling, Tanjiro joins the Demon Slayer Corps to eradicate the demons and, hopefully, discover a manner to revert Nezuko dorsum to a human being.

While a warm and kind person, Tanjiro is more willing to make tough decisions. He is nether no illusion that demons should be sparred or that killing would brand him no better than his enemies; Tanjiro gets the task done.

Nezuko Kamado

Demon Slayer Nezuko

Nezuko Kamado is one of the youngest characters in Demon Slayer as she is only 12 years old at the start of the story when she is turned into a demon. A few episodes later on, Nezuko is xiv years former, however, physically, she has not aged since that faithful and tragic day, and that'due south something that will not change unless Tanjiro finds a cure.

Nezuko's transition into demonhood naturally altered her personality, making her far more fearless and direct than she was as a human. Yet, she retains some of her previous traits, particularly her desire to protect Tanjiro.

Zenitsu Agatsuma

Zenitsu in Demon Slayer

Despite existence a bit older than Tanjiro, Zenitsu Agatsuma doesn't generally come across that way since his natural disposition is to abscond. Although he doesn't ever show it, Zenitsu is far from incapable with a weapon, a familiarity stemming from his preparation-fueled upbringing every bit Jigoro Kuwajima'southward pupil.

Zenitsu has fair skin and gilded eyes. His pilus is bright yellow (thanks to being struck by lightning) and shaped in basically a bowl cut.

Inosuke Hashibira

Inosuke in Demon Slayer

Inosuke Hashibira tends to jump into battle without much idea. Although he is very much capable of taking care of himself, Inosuke's addiction of overestimating his own abilities tends to drop him in boiling water, peculiarly since he constantly wants to challenge anyone who could perchance match him in gainsay.

Inosuke was raised by boars as a child, something reflected by his selection of headwear. Inosuke'southward background means he often struggles with human traditions, emotions, and customs, although he slowly changes thanks to his affiliation with the Demon Slayer Corps.

Kanao Tsuyuri

Kanao in Demon Slayer

Kanao has large, gentle-looking pink eyes and sparse black pilus worn in a ponytail. A rough upbringing idea Kanao to completely close herself off as a method of self-preservation. For the longest time, Kanao showed little to no emotion and refused to make any decisions for herself, opting to leave such matters to others or chance.

As with most heroic Demon Slayer characters , Kanao matures quite a bit as the series progresses, although only hints of that take been provided past the anime.

Genya Shinazugawa

Genya in Demon Slayer

Another character with a tragic backstory, Genya witnessed his siblings exist murdered by his demonized female parent. He also saw his only surviving brother, Sanemi, kill his mother. Although he cannot use Breathing Techniques, Genya is a strong fighter who has the talent for absorbing demon abilities.

Genya's hot-headed nature doesn't make him the easiest Demon Slayer to piece of work with, at to the lowest degree during the early stages of the anime. However, Genya becomes more sociable as the series goes on.

Sanemi Shinazugawa

Sanemi Shinazugawa, The Wind Hashira in Demon Slayer

The Air current Hashira looks admittedly crazy and not someone to be messed effectually with. The psychotic nature of his gaze seems like information technology'd be enough to freeze any enemy in its tracks.

One can only wonder but how much damage this Hashira will be able to inflict with his attacks. Manga fans might be aware, but it's the potential of the anime and its visuals that have got fans excited to see Shinazugawa in activeness.

Giyu Tomioka

Demon Slayer Giyu

Not 1 to waste material words, Giyu keeps things close to the chest and believes others should follow suit. As a child, Giyu was saved from a demon past his sister at the cost of her own life; frustratingly for the child, Giyu's attempts to inform people of what happened simply resulted in him existence ostracized.

Equally a rather senior member of the Demon Slayer Corps, Giyu presents a strong and aloof effigy, although he isn't quite as confident as he appears to exist.

Shinobu Kocho

Shinobu Kochu in Demon Slayer

At first glance, Shinobu appears to be the friendliest and most likable member of the Demon Slayer Corps. She always has a smile on her face and seems upwards for a good joke. However, this is but a coping mechanism to restrain her uncontrollable hatred for demons stemming from the expiry of her sis, Kanae Kocho.

Shinobu tin can be unbelievably vicious, both with a bract and words. This Demon Slayer character tin can reduce the strongest of warriors to insecure puddles of mush with a few selection sentences. She will also grin while doing it.

Tengen Uzui

Tengen Uzui in Demon Slayer

In a nice change of pace, Tengen's back story doesn't have all that much to do with demons; that said, it is very much tragic. Born into a ninja association and trained by his cruel father, Tengen was thought to only ever seek self-fulfillment, regardless of the cost to anyone else. Tricked past his parent into killing a few of his ain siblings, Tengen eventually left the nest to try and carve out his own path.

Tengen's personality is a bit all over the identify, courtesy of his harsh childhood and his attempts to move away from his father'due south teachings.

Mitsuri Kanroji

Mitsuri Kanroji, The Love Hashira in Demon Slayer

The Love Hashira is ane of the more unique and interesting characters in the show. Her appearance might've been brief, merely the impact this Demon Slayer will have is going to exist quite spectacular.

Anime fans can't wait to see her powers in boxing, which are bound to exist quite a visual spectacle. After all, the very idea of Love Animate — if 1 can even call it that — sounds like nothing ever seen before in the show.

Obanai Iguro

Obanai Iguro, The Serpent Hashira in Demon Slayer

Obanai Iguro is the Snake Hashira, which is already indicative of just how powerful he is. Non much is known well-nigh this character, with his blueprint carrying that he'south pretty mysterious.

His powers are all the same to be revealed, but the idea of Serpent Animate certainly sounds like a blast. One tin merely look and see how his character evolves over time.

Muichiro Tokito

demon slayer Muichiro Tokito anime

The Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito doesn't show much outward emotion and can meet as uncaring or disinterested. Generally, Muichiro goes off on his own, often seeming to be stuck in his own head.

While this mental attitude might not brand him the almost approachable of characters, Muichiro's backstory sheds a lite on the development of his personality. It all stems from a personal tragedy that left him lacking the memories and context to shape and harness his acrimony.

Gyomei Himejima

demon slayer Gyomei Himejima anime

The Demon Slayer anime has yet to dive into Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, as well deeply, as he has generally served equally a minor background player. While the character doesn't play a role in the show's next saga, the "Amusement District arc," Gyomei'due south importance is likely to increase in the post-obit season (or the one after) once the anime gets to the "Hashira Preparation Arc."

Gyomei is huge, tranquillity, strong, and cautious. He is dedicated to the Demon Slayer Corps, but that doesn't mean he fully trusts his companions.

Kyojuro Rengoku

Kyojuro in Demon Slayer

Taking center stage in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Railroad train, Kyojuro Rengoku burst onto the scene like a ball of fire. Energetic, charming, and skilful-natured, Kyojuro has a sincerity to him that most other characters in the anime lack, outside of perhaps Tanjiro.

Kyojuro's optimism is not a facade to mask his inner turmoil or a way to lure people into a faux sense of security. He is the type of person who looks for the positives even in the worst of situations.

Sabito

demon slayer Sabito anime

Equally his Final Selection training under Sakonji striking a wall, Tanjiro inadvertently found himself an aggressive new teacher in the grade of Sabito. While initially dismissing Tanjiro equally being likewise weak to make the virtually of Sakonji's training, Sabito eventually pushes the hopeful Demon Slayer beyond his limits.

Sabito's time in the anime concludes quite apace, coming to an end after just a handful of early on episodes. However, he plays a significant office in Tanjiro's development, maybe fifty-fifty more so than Sakonji. His backstory as well hits pretty hard, which is hardly a surprise for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Muzan Kibutsuji

Muzan Kibutsuji in Demon Slayer

The antagonist of Demon Slayer is one of the most fascinating characters in the entire show. Muzan might not have featured many times and so far in the anime, but the cold-hearted manner in which he destroys some of his most powerful lieutenants is quite chilling to witness.

Muzan'south power seems to exist immense, and one can't really understand how Tanjiro and the remainder of the Demon Slayers even stand a take a chance against this powerful being. However, there's still a lot of time for the characters to get stronger and put upward a skillful fight if cypher else.

Akaza

Akaza in Demon Slayer

The Upper-Rank Three Demon that was introduced in Demon Slayer: Mugen Railroad train has made quite an impression. His savage fight confronting Rengoku was a visual spectacle that ended with the Flame Hashira'southward premature demise.

Akaza is not someone to be trifled with, and he'due south bound to play a major role in the events to come up. Unfortunately, only the manga fans are aware of how events will play out — anime fans will have to expect awhile for that.

Daki

daki demon slayer

Introduced as 1 of the main villains of Demon Slayer's Amusement District Arc, Daki is vicious and savage, a personality stemming from insecurity and a want to get Muzan's approval. The Upper Rank Six demon has a tragic backstory every bit she was a courtesan who was burned alive, only to be "saved" by her blood brother, Gyutaro, on her deathbed. The siblings have always been joined at the hip, fifty-fifty if they tend to argue frequently.

Not much is known well-nigh Daki, outside the fact that she was turned into a demon as a teenager and has been around for more than a hundred years. Although her verbal height has not been revealed, Daki is quite tall, towering over the likes of Tanjiro and Nezuko. All the same, she is shorter than her brother or Muzan.

Gyutaro

Gyutaro anime demon slayer

Daki's sibling, Gyutaro is the Twelve Kizuki's true Upper Rank Six powerhouse. With a rather unique physique and a penchant for brutality, Gyutaro has an intimidating presence due to both his appearance and personality. Although he does care for his sister, Gyutaro shows piddling regard for most anyone else and especially likes to target people he believes are more fortunate than him.

Similar to Daki, Gyutaro'due south tiptop and altogether have not been revealed by Demon Slayer. Besides like his sister, Gyutaro is over a hundred years old. He is also considerably taller than Daki, and then he is most likely around 5'x".
