Birth February 8, 1892 (Aquarius) Nogata Village, Toyotama District, Tokyo Prefecture Age 19 → 21 → 22 Gender Male Physical 176cm | 69kg Family Parents Older sister Tsutako Tomioka Relatives Affiliation Demon Slayer Corps Rank Hashira Title Water Hashira (Mizuhashira) Nichirin Sword Color Blue Breathing Style Water Breathing Habit Tsume Shogi (Chess puzzles) Likes Simmered salmon with radish Dislikes Dogs A character from the manga "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba." One of the nine Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, holding the title of Water Hashira. He uses Water Breathing, one of the five main breathing styles. Official Handsome Man He is an officially recognized handsome man within the story, and even outside the work, he is undisputed as one of the top-tier visuals in Demon Slayer. With a classic handsome face and a calm, elegant atmosphere, he is a "cool beauty" type character among the male Hashira, alongside Muichiro Tokito. In a series where official beauties are common but official handsome men are rare, he is one of the few characters with the "handsome" attribute. While he is drawn as handsome in the anime, the original manga shows even more refined and delicate artwork. Unlike Tengen Uzui, who is a flashy handsome man, Giyu is depicted with a calm aura. Hair Style Jet-black hair characterized by a layered, spiky texture, short at the top like a pixie cut and long at the bottom. The length is semi-long, reaching below the shoulders. Among the male characters, he was initially on the longer side, but as long-haired characters like Muichiro Tokito, Kyojuro Rengoku, Doma, and Yoriichi Tsugikuni increased, he moved to the middle tier. He usually wears his hair tied in a low ponytail. According to the secret setting materials in Fanbook Vol. 1, his hair has an angular shape; from the side, it looks like horns, but from the front, they don't stick out much. Because his hair is naturally wavy, it tends to stick out easily. Eyes Possesses dark blue eyes. His dull gaze is often called "dead eyes," and his sharp eye shape can give off a fierce atmosphere. According to the secret setting materials in Fanbook Vol. 1, he has thick eyelashes, and he looks even more handsome when he puts strength into the inner corners of his eyes. In the past, his eyes had highlights and were not sharp, but rather round and drooping—a gentle and fragile impression similar to Tanjiro's—but it is presumed they gradually changed to their current state after the deaths of his sister Tsutako and his friend Sabito. Clothing Uniquely, his haori pattern is split down the middle. One half is a memento of his sister, Tsutako Tomioka, and the other half is a memento of Sabito. The dark red side belonged to Tsutako, and the side with the yellow and green geometric pattern belonged to Sabito. Height Another characteristic is that he is quite tall even by modern standards. At 176cm, he is in the middle rank among the Hashira, but since the average height of an adult Japanese male is around 171cm, he is on the tall side even today. Considering the Taisho era setting, he is exceptionally tall. Excluding outliers like Tengen Uzui or Gyomei Himejima, he ranks in the upper tier along with Sanemi Shinazugawa and Kyojuro Rengoku. Physique He has a slim, muscular build. However, this is only "slim" compared to the massive members like Gyomei and Tengen. Given the nature of his profession in the Demon Slayer Corps, and as one of the strongest "Hashira," it would be a mistake to think of him as having a typical slim-muscular body. From a general perspective, Giyu has an incredibly muscular physique, but since the male characters are mostly muscular and he always wears his uniform which fully covers his upper body, it isn't particularly emphasized. By nature, he is kind and righteous as his name suggests, but after losing his sister Tsutako and shortly after losing his best friend Sabito, he became stoic and rarely smiles. Currently, his personality has turned taciturn and cold; he is not easily swayed by emotions and rarely shows them, maintaining his signature dead eyes and expressionless face through most situations. However, because his heart is altruistic and warm, he also has a flexible and open-minded side. On the surface, he looks cool and mentally strong, but he is actually a natural airhead and a klutz, mostly because he is socially oblivious. Furthermore, contrary to appearances, his pride is excessively low compared to his abilities, and his self-esteem is very low. He is prone to significant blunders.
