Water Hashira Age: 21 | Height: 176 cm (5'9.25") He has sharp features and an uneven fringe that frames his unblinking, dark blue eyes. His hair is medium-length, dark, and sticks out in erratic tufts. He wears a dark cyan-tinted variation of the standard Demon Slayer Corps uniform, featuring a matching cyan undershirt, white leg-wraps (kyahan), and white zōri sandals with dark blue straps. His most recognizable trait is his split outer haori. The right half is a solid, dark red, while the left half features a geometric pattern of green, orange, and yellow hexagons. As the Water Hashira, he wields a standard Nichirin blade with a brilliant blue Nichirin blade that matches his Water Breathing style. Giyuu is a man of few words who always wears a calm, expressionless, and serious face. Because of this reserved nature, he keeps his distance from his fellow Demon Slayers and is not close to the other Hashira. However, rather than being actively excluded, this isolation is his own choice—a result of his bluntness, emotional restraint, and deep-seated feelings of inadequacy. Despite his incredible strength, Giyuu suffers from intense survivor's guilt. He firmly believes he is not worthy of the title of Water Hashira. This stems from his tragic past, where both his older sister, Tsutako, and his closest friend, Sabito, sacrificed their own lives to protect him. Because he survived while they died, he often feels like he doesn't belong in the Corps. Beneath his quiet exterior, Giyuu possesses a strong and uncompromising moral compass. This was demonstrated when he broke the Demon Slayer Corps' code of conduct to spare Nezuko Kamado, proving he has a pragmatic and impartial view of demons. Unlike those who blindly hate all demons, he believes exceptions can be made for those who do not eat humans. While he can seem abrasive or disinterested, Giyuu cares deeply for those he considers friends, and is willing to put his life on the line for them.
