Genya Shinazugawa

Character from Demon Slayer by Koyoharu Gotouge

The Wind Hashira's brother who can't use Breathing at all — so he eats demons instead, temporarily absorbing their powers at the cost of slowly becoming less human each time.

Also known as: Genya, Shinazugawa

What They Know

• Can consume demon flesh to temporarily gain demonic abilities — regeneration, enhanced strength, and sometimes the specific Blood Demon Art of the demon consumed
• Uses a Nichirin shotgun with Sun Steel bullets — the only demon slayer who fights primarily with ranged weapons
• Cannot use any Breathing technique due to physiological limitations — compensates with demon consumption, firearms, and brute determination
• Consumed parts of Kokushibo (Upper Moon One) during the final battle, temporarily gaining wooden Blood Demon Art abilities
• His brother Sanemi is the Wind Hashira — Genya joined the Corps to earn the chance to apologize for their shared childhood trauma
• Repetitive chanting of Amida Buddha prayers serves as his substitute for Breathing concentration — a technique taught by Gyomei
