He is the official handsome man of the Demon Slayer Corps, recognized without dispute as one of the top-tier visuals in the series. He has a refined, classic handsome face with a calm and elegant atmosphere. It is said he looks even more handsome when he puts strength into his eyebrows.
His jet-black hair is characterized by being short like a pixie cut at the top and long at the bottom, overall layered and spiky. The length is semi-long, reaching below the shoulders. Among the male characters, he was on the longer side, but as long-haired male characters like Tokito Muichiro, Rengoku Kyojuro, Doma, and Tsugikuni Yoriichi increased, he fell into the middle tier. He basically wears his hair in a ponytail.
He has dark blue eyes. His dull eyes are so-called 'dead eyes,' and his eye shape is drawn sharply, giving him a fierce atmosphere. In the past, he had highlights in his eyes and his eye shape was not sharp, but rather round and drooping, giving a gentle and fragile impression similar to Tanjiro. It is speculated that they gradually changed to his current eyes after the deaths of his sister Tsutako and friend Sabito. His atmosphere is also dark; Obanai commented that he hates Giyu's face that wears its misery, and Tengen commented that he looks like he's at a funeral. Muichiro left a comment that he looks like an ornament.
Uniquely, the pattern of his haori is split in half. One half is a memento of his sister, Tomioka Tsutako, and the other half is a memento of Sabito. The dark red part belongs to Tsutako, and the part with the yellow and green geometric pattern belongs to Sabito. That's why Hashibira Inosuke called Giyu 'Half-and-Half Haori' at Mt. Natagumo. While Inosuke often fails to remember names and gives nicknames based on first impressions or distorted names, the fact that he called him 'Half-and-Half Haori' suggests that even to a wild child like Inosuke, the split clothing pattern looked very peculiar.
