Genya and Sanemi

Genya Shinazugawa.

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

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

From his first appearance, he was a hot-tempered and rude young man, grabbing Kanata Ubuyashiki by the hair without showing any 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 show himself to be more sociable and charismatic[8], but still maintaining some of his bad temper.

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

Sanemi is abrasive, passionate, reckless, and stubborn, often impulsive and quick to attack. He is usually indifferent towards others and can get angry very easily. The only person Sanemi ever showed reverence to was Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and this was only after realizing that the man was much more than his outward appearance suggested.

Sanemi's cold, rude, and disdainful behavior is a result of losing too many people he cared about in the past. Later, when he sees those people who have passed away, such as his mother, he can't help but give her a smile so he can see her again. When Genya joins the Demon Slayers on their quest, Sanemi repeatedly ignores him and lashes out at any chance of seeing him, but Tanjiro Kamado is able to tell him that Sanemi didn't really hate him; and in fact still felt the same brotherly love he had for him in childhood. However, this was never openly expressed as he tried to keep Genya away from him and the Slayers so he wouldn't be exposed to danger.
