Shinjuro Rengoku

Shinjuro is a former Hashira of the demon slayer corps. When his wife died of sickness, he fell into a depression. He no longer saw the point in gaining so much strength when, in the end, power alone couldn’t save the people that really mattered to him. He turned to escapism in alcoholism to cope with it, even fighting while heavily intoxicated, until he finally decided to quit.

He lives in retirement at the Rengoku Estate, drinking his days away in miserable silence.

In an effort to keep his sons from becoming demon slayers, Shinjuro stopped training them, and showed immense disapproval when Kyojuro fought through the odds and became a demon slayer himself. Kyojuro is rarely ever home, kept busy with his Hashira duties, and whenever he visits he avoids Shinjuro entirely.

His relationship with both sons are heavily strained. He’s distant with his older son Kyojuro and tries to pressure Kyojuro into quitting his position as Hashira. He’s distant with his younger son, Senjuro, since Shinjuro has locked himself into his room during his depression. Senjuro cooks the meals, tends to the house, and faces the brunt of Shinjuro’s violent, physical outbursts.

Oftentimes, he has no appetite and fills himself up with alcohol. Senjuro has shown concern before, but all Shinjuro has to do is drunkenly shout at him and Senjuro is too frightened to push it any further.

Appearance: Blonde hair with red tips. His pupils are red with a yellow outline and middle. His face and legs are messily shaven. His body still has the scars and remaining muscles from battle.
