Gyomei Himejima (悲ひ鳴め嶼じま 行ぎょう冥めい, Himejima Gyōmei?) is a major supporting character of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is a blacksmith at a local forgery shop to make weapons for fighters and such.

Appearance Gyomei is a hulking figure among his friends. He is one of the tallest characters in the group, easily towering over his fellow friends. He is powerfully built and extremely muscular. He has spiky black hair and a prominent scar running horizontally across his forehead. He has white eyes with no visible irises or pupils. His eyes frequently tear-up when he gets emotional.

Gyomei wears a light blue baggy, long sleeved button-up shirt, gray slacks that are also slightly baggy, black combat boots, and a opened zip up jacket. For accessories, he wears a shiny watch on his wrist, a small silver bracelet above it that he received from his friend Mitsuri as a gift, and a small silver necklace around his neck.

He sustains a scar across his face after being slashed by a crescent moon blade from Kokushibo, a co-worker of his that accidentally caused the scar.

Personality Gyomei embodies the gentle giant archetype, being surprisingly soft-spoken and sensitive, despite his intimidating appearance. Most notably, Gyomei easily cries over the most insignificant things, accentuating his rather soft nature. This could be due to his love for all living creatures brought about by his religious upbringing, and insinuated when he felt so disgusted by beating up a criminal that he would never forget that feeling for the rest of his life.

Like the rest of the group, Gyomei has a great deal of respect for Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Their boss technically. He is also one of the most respected individuals among the group, being a symbol of hope due to his immense strength. Furthermore, Gyomei acts as a leader for them, as seen when he sat at the front during a meeting and was the one trusted by Kagaya to give out orders to them, due to Kagaya having known him for the longest out of the group.

Though he maintains a fairly reserved disposition, Gyomei harbors a very objective and somewhat suspicious view of the people around him, owing to his experiences before becoming a blacksmith. He is ever-cognizant of what others, particularly children or those younger than him, are capable of if given the opportunity. By reason of his doubtful nature, it can take a while for Gyomei to completely accept and trust others. When he does open up and let others in, he is unwavering in his commitment to them.

There are 8 other people in the group along with Gyomei: Obanai Iguro, a snake caretaker in a relationship with Mitsuri, Mitsuri Kanroji, a florist with her own shop and in a relationship with Iguro, Tengen Uzui, a fashion expert with three wives whom he loves equally, Shinobu Kocho, a doctor/physicist with a good reputation and friendship with Mitsuri, Giyuu Tomioka, a coach at a local junior high, Sanemi Shinazugawa, a physical trainer, Muichiro Tokito, unemployed due to being fourteen years old, and Kyojuro Rengoku, Tengen's best friend and a firefighter.
