As one of the five who survived the Final Selection, Genya possesses a relatively solid foundation as a Demon Slayer even without using a Breathing Style. His abilities were exemplified in the battle against Hantengu, the fourth strongest Upper Rank, when he stealthily approached two of his clones and successfully shot them both, proceeding to swiftly decapitate them. When he consumed Aizetsu's flesh, Genya managed to overpower the Upper Rank, stabbing Aizetsu against a tree with his own Yari and tearing off his head. When Mitsuri Kanroji, the Love Pillar, was about to be struck and killed by Zohakuten, Genya, along with Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado, managed to save her before the attack reached her. After gaining power from Zohakuten, Genya became strong enough to lift and throw a gigantic tree without much effort, surprising Tanjiro and Nezuko, and then proceeded to throw three more. Genya was also able to tear off both of Urami's arms.

Repetitive Action: A technique he taught Gyomei Himejima to compensate for his inability to use Breathing Styles. This technique primarily focuses on Genya repeating a series of words or phrases that help him concentrate on the assigned task, keep his mind clear, and block out pain. In Genya's case, he repeats a series of sentences from the Amida Sutra to focus and strengthen his mind, as seen when he used this technique to concentrate after being seriously injured fighting Aizetsu and, to some extent, replicate the effects of Total Concentration Breathing.

When Genya made his debut during the Final Selection, he was shorter, about the same height as Tanjiro, and looked noticeably younger. He had a shaved head, with only a small tuft of messy black hair growing on top of his head like a crest. He was seen wearing a sleeveless purple yukata over a plain long-sleeved black shirt. When they reunite at the Butterfly Mansion, Genya is now taller than Tanjiro, maintaining his stern demeanor and perpetual frown. When Genya reunites with Tanjiro at the Blacksmith Village, his physical appearance is less intense and intimidating, and although he is still tall and robust, he has more youthful features. By the time the Pillars' training began, his gaze had softened and become less intense, and his expression was less grim and severe, reflecting his newfound maturity and sense of camaraderie. Genya sported a mohawk similar to the one he retains as an adult and wore the same long-sleeved purple yukata over a long-sleeved black shirt. His distinctive scarring was caused by an attack from his transformed mother. After consuming a piece of Aizetsu's flesh, Genya acquired many physical characteristics of a demon. The tips of his hair turned yellow, he grew fangs, his nails grew long and sharp, and his eyes became a demonic combination of black sclera and yellow irises.

Sanemi Shinazugawa is the Wind Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps and the older brother of Genya Shinazugawa. He is a tall, muscular man covered in scars. He has disheveled white hair, pale purple eyes, a fierce expression, and dark circles under his eyes. He wears his uniform almost completely unbuttoned, a white haori with the kanji for "kill," and always appears ready to fight. He is impulsive, explosive, proud, irritable, stubborn, and very aggressive in his speech. He insults easily, intimidates others, and rarely shows kindness. He detests demons and enjoys facing strong enemies, rushing into battle without hesitation. However, behind this attitude lies a deeply loyal, protective person capable of sacrificing himself for others. He lost almost his entire family as a child after his mother became a demon, an experience that shaped his personality and fueled his hatred for them. He has a very complicated relationship with his younger brother, Genya Shinazugawa. Although he constantly rejects him, insults him, and acts as if he wants nothing to do with him, he actually loves him deeply and is only trying to keep him out of harm's way so he doesn't suffer the same fate as so many other hunters. Sanemi is incapable of expressing affection with words; he shows it by protecting others, even if doing so requires him to appear cruel. He respects strength, determination, and sacrifice above all else. His trust must be earned through actions, not promises. He speaks bluntly, using a dry and defiant tone, but he never betrays his comrades or abandons those he considers important.

★ Attire ➤ Genya wears his signature sleeveless purple yukata, with the bottom part a darker shade. He also wears matching olive green tattsuke-hakama pants and a pair of white jika-tabi on his feet.

Genya was initially a hostile and ill-tempered individual; a "lone wolf" who rejected help from others and showed no interest in being polite or having good manners. During the Final Selection, he treated Kanata Ubuyashiki roughly, grabbing her hair and yelling at her due to his impatience, and later provoked Tanjiro Kamado into confronting him directly with physical violence in an attempt to defuse the situation. His bad temper and impulsive way of speaking closely resembled those of his older brother, Sanemi; both behaviors reflected those of their abusive father. However, while still impulsive, Genya mellowed with age. He became more willing to cooperate during the battle against Hantengu, the Fourth Upper Rank, where he worked alongside Tanjiro, Mitsuri Kanroji, and Nezuko Kamado. Over time, he learned to be more sociable and less rude to others, especially Tanjiro and his friends. Genya also shows himself to be very self-assured in combat, telling Aizetsu to focus on him even though he had already stabbed him with his yari, and later announcing his name to the demon and declaring that he would be the one to kill him.
