Top 10 Best Demon Slayer Characters

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has become a cultural phenomenon, captivating audiences worldwide with its stunning animation, gripping storyline, and lovable characters. The anime, which is based on the manga by Koyoharu Gotouge, follows the journey of a young boy named Tanjiro Kamado, who becomes a demon slayer after his family is brutally slaughtered by demons. With the help of his comrades, Tanjiro embarks on a quest to avenge his family and protect humanity from the demonic threat.

But as much as we love Tanjiro, it's the diverse cast of characters that make Demon Slayer truly special. From fierce demon slayers to terrifying demons, each character brings something unique to the table. Whether it's their personality, their fighting style, or their backstory, there's always something to love about each character.
The Top Ten
1 Tomioka Giyuu

I LOVE GIYUU SO MUCH. He is my FAVORITE character. Without him, the story wouldn't even go on. He talked Tanjiro into becoming a Demon Slayer. He had one of the saddest childhoods, with his best friend and sister dying to protect him. He put his life on the line for Nezuko, promising if she bites, he, along with Tanjiro and Urokodaki, will commit seppuku.

Also, the way he does his dead calm is amazing. He is such a skilled swordsman, and he has a big heart.

Emo and great. Character made the show, and his character arc was so interesting. One of the main reasons I watched Demon Slayer.

2 Kamado Nezuko

Nezuko is my number one! She is super cute and adorable. I'm a girl too, but Nezuko blew my heart out when I saw her.

Nezuko is amazing, and the bit where Nezuko becomes small and dodges all of Kanao's attacks was pretty cool.

She's extremely cute and strong, a great character. Her transformation is also very cool, and her smile is so pretty.

3 Kamado Tanjiro

I really like him. He is not a Hashira, but I bet he will be able to surpass that level and defeat Muzan once and for all.

Has a surprisingly low amount of plot armor.

4 Hashibira Inosuke

Inosuke is my favorite character in Demon Slayer and probably my favorite character ever. Love him!

This crackhead is one of the best. He's funny and insane. We need some of those in our lives, am I right?

Very funny and interesting character.

5 Agatsuma Zenitsu

Look, guys. Let's get some spunk in this list and make this anime proud. Zenitsu is my favorite Demon Slayer character because I disagree with what people say about him being annoying. Wouldn't you be afraid of blood-thirsty demons chasing you? Yeah, I thought so.

I also relate to how he has low confidence levels and believes he's a loser. He wants to be powerful but just doesn't think he can do it. I think many of us can relate. Not saying that he's extremely powerful and loyal. All the other Demon Slayer characters are wonderful, but this one will always have a special place in my heart.

6 Shinobu Kocho

I love the way she acts when she's angry. She's always trying to hide her anger, but she's really kind at heart. She sacrificed herself to kill Douma.

She is my favorite Demon Slayer character because she is so pretty and her breathing style is super unique. She also sacrificed her life for the safety of other people.

She's my favorite character in the whole anime. How she was able to make her weakness into something strong is so cool. In the manga, she was even cooler, and I was really sad when I found out about her backstory and her view on herself.

7 Kyojuro Rengoku

Absolutely awesome character. He gave me goosebumps when he was still fighting Akaza after being impaled. He just wouldn't give up. He inspired me and also made me cry a lot.

More than that, he showed me what a kind and compassionate person I should strive to be! The energy he carried was so positive too!!

Definitely a strong and kind character. In the Mugen Train arc, he showed determination and persistence against Akaza. Also, one of the hottest out of most of the characters.

Rengoku is amazing. His personality makes the show so much better, and I was truly heartbroken by how he died. But his legacy will move on every time we take a bite and say, "UMAI."

8 Kanao Tsuyuri

She's cute and quiet, and I relate to her a lot. She's also very strong, and I felt so bad for her after that person (manga readers know who) died.

She's cool, and I kind of relate to the inability to make decisions easily.

Please tell me someone else loves her. She's like my third favorite. She's nice, beautiful, and elegant, and she tries her best. You can tell she is proper. She was trained by a Hashira, after all.

9 Akaza

As much as I am really sad that he killed Rengoku, I still really like him because I think he's such a hottie.

I don't know why this character intrigued me so much, but I love him.

If I had to pick my favorite villain from Demon Slayer, it is obviously Akaza. If you don't believe me, then just look at his backstory.

10 Sabito

I really wish we could have seen more of this character.

His smile melted my heart. He deserves more love.

The Contenders
11 Mitsuri Kanroji

She is so strong and has a unique fighting style, which is why she's one of my favorite characters.

She is super cute, sweet, and kind! I love her personality! Also, she and Iguro are like the best couple ever.

12 Muichiro Tokito

I love Muichiro so much. I relate to him so much personality-wise and being very skilled despite being young. It was cool seeing his development in the series, and I love his design and breathing style.

He's so cute and cool! He's also very talented. I'm sure if he was alive, he'd become the strongest Hashira over time.

I like this guy, and I still don't know why.

13 Urokodaki Sakonji
14 Kibutsuji Muzan

I love watching him kill demons and humans. He does it so well. Muzan Jackson is one of the coolest villains in anime history. Also hot!

15 Rui
16 Kokushibo
17 Kaigaku
18 Tengen Uzui

Do we even have to explain why? I think Uzui is probably one of the most funny, flashy, and amazing characters in all of anime. This guy is the best, and nothing is wrong about him.

Cool design, funny, and badass. Nothing more needs to be said.

19 Tanjuro Kamado
20 Obanai Iguro

One of my favorite Hashira. Iguro is so cool, and his character design is awesome. His snake is cute, and he's a great character.

21 Enmu
22 Gyutaro

I really like him for some reason. Also, he's a caring big brother.

23 Kamaboko Gonpachiro

The best. More powerful than Yoriichi. Solos Goku, Vegeta, the Sailor Senshi, the upper moons, Hashira, UA and the pro heroes, All Might, All for One, the League of Villains, every Naruto character, Yoriichi, Muzan, and Tanjuro. At once. So powerful it brings me to tears, honestly.
