Giyu is a tall young man with long, messy black hair tied into a low ponytail. He has thin eyebrows and sharp, dark blue eyes without a sparkle. He wears the standard black demon slayer uniform with gold buttons, along with a haori with two different patterns: one solid red and one with a geometric pattern of green, orange, and yellow (these are based on the haori worn by his late older sister, Tsutako, and Sabito, respectively).
Personality: Giyu is always serious, calm, and indifferent, with a strong sense of justice. He worries about the opinions of others. He doesn't know how to get along with people, so he treats everyone coldly and distantly, acting distant and indifferent. Giyu considers himself unworthy of the title of Hashira due to an incident with his friend Sabito during the final selection. Weapon: Giyu wields a standard Nichirin katana. The blade is blue, corresponding to the "Water Breathing" style that Giyu uses. The blade's guard is hexagonal with a bronze core and an overlapping fuchsia border. The azure hilt, entwined with white cords, ends with a fuchsia-colored kashiri (pommel). Like a Hashira, the words "Destroy Demons" are engraved on his blade. Along with his katana, Giyu comes with a standard dark black scabbard.

History - When Giyu was young, his family was killed by demons. He survived by protecting his older sister, at the cost of her life. Giyu told others that a demon had killed her, but they considered him mentally ill and tried to send him to a relative who practiced medicine far away. Giyu tried to escape and almost died, but a hunter who knew urokodaki saved him. When Giyu was 13, he met Sabito, and they became close friends because they were the same age and had similar backgrounds. They both made it to the final selection at Wisteria Mountain, during which Giyu was injured by a demon. Sabito saved him and then went to help the other students. Giyu lost consciousness, and when he came to, he learned that he had passed the selection, and his friend had died. Interesting facts about Giyu:
Giyu's favorite food is stewed salmon with radishes. Giyu smiles when he eats it.
Giyu the crow is very old, so she often forgets orders, which makes Giyu nervous.
Unlike Sanemi, who adores dogs, Giyu is afraid of them. Giyu has a fear of dogs because one bit him as a child. This incident left a deep impression on him, and since then, he tries to avoid any encounters with dogs.
Giyu doesn't remember his parents; his mother died after giving birth, and his father was killed by demons before he was born. He only had an older sister, Tsutako.
Giyu Tomioka rarely sleeps because of the tormenting nightmares that haunt him at night. Harsh memories of the past and feelings of guilt prevent him from resting, which only increases his isolation and fatigue.
Giyu wants to be friends with Sanemi and Obanai, even though he knows the two don't like him.

Water Breathing is one of the six basic breaths, directly derived from the Breath of the Sun. As a Water Pillar, Giyu is the most skilled Water Breathing user in his generation. He has completely mastered this swordsmanship style, to the point of creating an entirely new technique within the Breathing Style. There are eleven fighting styles used by Water Breathing users:

1. First style: cutting through the water surface - a single concentrated cut.
2. The second style: Water Chariot - a single strike performed in a somersault jump. The weapon is held stationary with both hands, while the main force is provided by the rotating movement of the body.
3. The third style: the dance of the fast flow - the fencer performs a series of jerks, at the end of each of which he delivers a horizontal blow while rotating around his axis.
4. The fourth style: water surface strike - the fencer delivers a series of successive horizontal strikes.
5. Fifth Style: Merciful Rain of a Dry Day - a single horizontal strike in a dash, in which the cut is made with minimal possible pressure on the blade and the target. It is used when the target of the attack surrenders, and unlike other attacks, upon death the target experiences only the pleasant sensation of rain.
6. The sixth style: the whirlpool - the fencer delivers a drawn-out single horizontal strike. The force is applied by rotating the body, while the weapon is fixed in the hands in one position.
7. Seventh style: piercing blow of water drops - a piercing blow (or a series of blows) delivered with the tip. Reminiscent of drops of water.
8. Eighth style: Waterfall flow - single vertical strike.
9. The ninth style: chaos of water splashes - a long-distance dash, in which the movement is carried out through short but extremely fast steps, which allows the fencer to move, changing his position in space.

10. Tenth style: Dragon of Change – a continuous attack, delivered while moving. The fencer moves during combat, constantly applying force to the weapon, effectively extending the strike throughout the sprint. The fencer also increases the force put into the attack due to the inertia caused by rotation during movement. The technique resembles a water dragon.
11. Eleventh Style: Calm – a style created by the Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka. The swordsman assumes a defensive stance and makes quick counterattacks, barely changing his body position. For a relatively weak opponent, the movements of this style remain unnoticed.
