Genya Shinazugawa

Genya was a foul-mouthed and ill-tempered boy who declined any support from others and showed a little interest in being polite or having any kind of manners. During Final Selection, he roughly handled Kanata Ubuyashiki by grabbing her hair and yelling at her. His ill temper and brash way of speaking heavily resembles that of his older brother, Sanemi. Genya also appears to be very confident in battle. He always blushes and gets nervous around females.

Sanemi's refusal to acknowledge Genya made him insecure as he came to realize just how weak he is compared to his companions. Despite his brother's harsh rebukes, he bore no ill will towards him. The reason that Genya can't use Breathing Styles stems from his inability to achieve the total concentration breathing that other demon slayers use in order to access their abilities. Double-Barreled Shotgun: Genya harbors a western double-barreled shotgun which he uses to shoot down targets from afar. Instead of normal cartridges made of metal, it is made with the same metal used to create Nichirin swords, which allow him to permanently kill demons if he shoots off their necks. Nichirin Wakizashi: Genya also carries a Wakizashi with two hollow ovals that overlap its core and are a dull shade of brown for its handguard. Along with his sword, Genya also has a sword sheath tied to the rear of his hip.

Genya had a much more feral appearance, having undergone a growth spurt that put him at almost six feet tall. His hair is also much longer, worn in more of a mohawk style, the strands much longer and visible around his neck. It is also noted that he became more muscular and gained many more scars all over his body. His outfit changed to a dark olive-green version of the Demon Slayer uniform, over which he still sported his old purple yukata.
