Species Human Gender Male Age 17 years Height 180 cm (5'11") Weight 76 kg (168 lb) Birthday January 7[2]

Genya was a boy with a muscular body and considerable height, measuring 180 cm (5'11"). His hair was black[4] with yellow endings[5] and on the right side he was shaved while which, on the left side, extended to below his shoulders, he always used to wear it loose[6]. His eyes were large with small irises and on his face a large scar was noticeable on the right side[4]. It was caused by his mother who transformed into a Demon and tried to kill him.

He wore the standard uniform of the Demon Extermination Corps with his signature purple Yukata [6].

When Genya becomes a Demon, her hair lengthens abruptly, having curved tips with small yellow spots at the tips, likewise the sclera of her eyes turns black and her eyes acquire a yellow color, in addition to her nails and teeth growing. .

From his first appearance, he was a temperamental and rude young man, grabbing Kanata Ubuyashiki by the hair without showing any type of remorse.[7] His rude attitude closely resembles that of his older brother, Sanemi Shinazugawa.

Much later, having the opportunity to interact with other hunters and Tanjiro Kamado [3], he began to prove more sociable and charismatic [8], but maintaining some of his bad temper.

Being unable to use a breathing technique like the rest of the Hunters, he felt insecure with his abilities especially after seeing his older brother's negativity towards his desire to be part of the Demon Extermination Corps. [9]. After this event, he decided to participate in the Final Selection [4] in order to have the acceptance of his brother.

Kyogo Shinazugawa (Padre) † Shizu Shinazugawa (Madre) † Sanemi Shinazugawa (Hermano Mayor) Shuya Shinazugawa (Hermano Menor) † Hiroshi Shinazugawa (Hermano Menor) † Koto Shinazugawa (Hermano Menor) † Teiko Shinazugawa (Hermana Menor) † Sumi Shinazugawa (Hermana Menor) †

Genya's name, Genya (玄弥) means "Mysterious" (玄, Gen) and "so much the more" / "more and more" (弥, Ya) while Shinazugawa means "Immortality" (不死, Shinazu) and "River" (川, Gawa). Due to his rare powers to devour demons, he is forced to regularly visit the Mariposa Mansion for health checks.[11] Kokushibo mentioned that Genya is not the first demon hunter he has faced whose power gain is related to the consumption of demons.

As one of the five survivors of the Final Selection, Genya displays considerable skill as a Demon Slayer, even without resorting to the use of a Breathing Style. His prowess was evidenced during the battle against Hantengu, the Upper Fourth Rank, when he managed to sneak up on two of its clones, accurately shooting them down and decapitating them in quick succession. After consuming Aizetsu's flesh, Genya gained formidable strength that allowed him to overpower the Upper Rank, piercing him with his own yari and managing to decapitate him. Also, during the confrontation against Zohakuten, in an act of heroism shared with Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado, he rescued Mitsuri Kanroji, the Pillar of Love, just before a deadly attack managed to reach her. After absorbing Zohakuten's power, Genya reached a level of colossal strength, being able to lift and throw a colossal tree with little effort, an action that left Tanjiro and Nezuko stunned. Not content with that, he threw three more trees with equal ease. At the height of his power, Genya even managed to tear off both of Urami's arms, consolidating his worth as a fearsome and resolute warrior.

During the confrontation against Kokushibo, the most powerful of the Upper Rankers, Genya displayed unparalleled mettle by consuming both a lock of his hair and a fragment of his flesh katana. This desperate act granted him colossal strength, allowing him to develop his own Demonic Blood Technique. Such power became a crucial element in weakening and eventually defeating the fearsome demon, cementing his decisive role in the battle against one of the most formidable foes ever faced.

Repetitive Motion (反はん復ぷく動どう作さ, Hanpuku Dōsa?): is a technique taught by Gyomei Himejima designed specifically for Genya to compensate for his inability to employ Breathing Techniques. This methodology is based on the constant repetition of words or phrases that allow him to focus his mind on the task at hand, maintain mental clarity and block physical pain. In Genya's particular case, he recites passages from the Amida Sutra, which serve as an anchor for him to concentrate and strengthen his will. This technique was masterfully demonstrated during his confrontation with Aizetsu, where, despite suffering potentially fatal injuries, Genya managed to stabilize his mind and, to a certain extent, replicate the effects of Total Concentration Breathing, thus highlighting his unwavering resilience and determination. [1] Demon Consumption and Empowerment: Genya's unique ability grants him an exceptional advantage in combat. With abnormally powerful jaws and a specially adapted digestive system, he is able to tear off and consume demon flesh without ill effects, even stripping the bark off trees with ease. By ingesting demon flesh, Genya temporarily gains demon-like characteristics such as sharp fangs, dark sclerae, and a distinctive change to his hair, which takes on yellow tips. In certain cases, presumably due to the high concentration of demon blood, Genya can also assimilate specific attributes of the consumed demon. One notable example occurred when he devoured parts of Kokushibo, temporarily gaining the High Rank's signature eyes, distinctive hair, and even a Demon Slayer's Mark similar to his own. In a particularly notable phenomenon, his shotgun underwent a physical change, resembling Kokushibo's katana, thus cementing this skill as an invaluable asset.
