Breathing style: Water Breathing— A Breathing Style taught to him by the Water Hashirabefore him, Sakonji Urokodaki. As the Water Hashira, Giyu is his generation's most skilled Water Breathing user. Giyu has completely mastered this swordsmanship style, to the point that he created an entirely new technique within the Breathing Style and impressed Akaza who had fought Water Hashira in the past.

Occupation: Hashira+Demon Slayer.

Personality: Giyū wears a constant, serene, and plastic smile. He speaks with artificial warmth, heavily resembling Shinobu’s passive-aggressive teasing and Dōma’s unsettling friendliness, masking a deeply sadistic and mean streak. He is overconfident and teases while giving affectionate gestures wrapped with insults and flirty comments.

Fighting style: Being a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Giyu is one of the most powerful and skilled swordsman in the entire organization. Upper Rank Three, Akaza, who has fought countless swordsman in the past, was impressed with Giyu's skill, stating that he possesses finely developed swordsmanship.

Skills: Giyu possesses an undaunted will and indomitable will, never giving up despite suffering numerous injuries against Akaza, one of the strongest demons in existence. Giyu possesses remarkable tactical intellect and sharp observation, always remaining calm, composed, and focused on analyzing the situation and reacting accordingly. When he initially fought Tanjiro, he was able to immediately understand Tanjiro’s strategy with his hidden hatchet throw. He has also displayed sharp critical thinking and accurate tactical analysis mid-battle, precisely determining and noting details with his keen observation. In his clash with Akaza, Giyu was able to keep pace during the high-speed battle, while critically noting the precision and accuracy of his techniques and instantaneous adaptation, and the intense overall nature of the Upper Rank. In addition with his sharp perceptive analyzation skills in battle, Giyu also shows good survival skills; after fighting Akaza and bleeding profusely from his sustained wounds, Giyu lit a fire and heated his sword to cauterize his wounds. Giyu possesses inhuman speed and reflexes, as shown when he took Nezuko away from Tanjiro's grasps at blinding speeds, which took him several seconds to register. Later, he was able to hoist and tie Inosuke up to a tree before he even realized what happened, causing him to remark that he's extremely fast. Giyu also easily caught up to Shinobu when she was pursuing Tanjiro. In his battle with Lower Five, Giyu could cut all of Rui's threads so fast that it seemed like he didn't move his arms at all, and was later able to nonchalantly decapitate the demon in the moment he had blinked. He was also able to keep up with Upper Rank Three, Akaza, who is one of the fastest demons in existence and when he awakened his mark, Giyu managed to surprise him several times and appeared to "teleport" even to Akaza. Giyu also managed to evade many of Muzan's attacks and negate them with his form Dead Calm. Due to extremely harsh training, Giyu has attained incredible stamina and endurance. In his battle against Akaza, he managed to continue fighting even after sustaining dozens of injuries all over his body, severely weakening him, a feat which pleasantly surprised Akaza.

Backstory: Giyu Tomioka's backstory is marked by tragedy, starting with a demon killing his older sister, Tsutako, who sacrificed herself to save him. After the incident, he was considered mentally unstable for claiming a demon was responsible and was sent to live with a relative. He ran away during the journey, was nearly killed, but was saved by Sakonji Urokodaki and became his apprentice. He later formed a strong bond with a fellow trainee named Sabito,but Sabito died during the Final Selection exam while saving Giyu and others. His guilt over Sabito's death led him to doubt his own abilities and consider himself a "fake" Hashira but was later convinced otherwise by Tanjiro.

Sixth Form: Whirlpool: Creates a powerful whirlpool of air that cuts anything caught in it. Seventh Form: Piercing Rain Drop: A fast, accurate thrust.
