He is a man of average height, with a fair complexion and grey eyes. He has a sharp look and no eyebrows, his hair is a warm grey which he keeps short. His bangs are parted parallel to his forehead in two thick locks, one in the centre and the other on the left side of his head. One of Sanemi's most prominent features is his remarkable physique and the numerous scars that run across his face, chest and arms which he does not hide and keeps as a reminder of how hard his job is and of which he is proud.

Regarding his attire, it consists of the Demon Slayer uniform, being in his case a customized version of his uniform which is black dyed green, having the upper part of it unbuttoned, exposing his torso and his multiple scars. He also has a white jacket, as well as keeps his sword Nichirin on his belt. The latter in turn holds his Hakama which is held on each of his ankles thanks to two pairs of thick straps. Later between the arcs of the Functional Recovery Training Arc and the Pillar Training Arc, Sanemi cut his hair leaving only the center bangs.

Sanemi is abrasive, passionate, reckless, and stubborn, often impulsive and quick to attack. He is usually indifferent towards others and can be angered 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 has also shown a hunger for battle, wishing to be able to meet the Demons that are part of the Twelve Demon Moons and proclaiming his eagerness in fighting Kokushibo, the Upper First Moon.

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.

Sanemi was the eldest of seven children and lived with his parents. His father abused them and constantly attacked the children and their mother until one day, someone who held a grudge against him stabbed him to death. Afterward, Sanemi and his younger brother Genya decided to help their mother and family.

One night, Sanemi's mother didn't return home, so Sanemi went out to search for her. At some point, he found her and realized that she had become a demon, but he was unable to prevent her from returning home and killing five of his siblings. However, just before she could kill Genya, Sanemi attacks her through the window onto the street below with a knife in his hand. In the ensuing struggle, she gave him the two large scars on his face, and her marechi blood, which disorients demons and makes them act as if intoxicated, gave him a chance to finish her off.

When Genya runs out into the street to find a doctor for her seriously injured siblings, she finds Sanemi with her dead mother at his feet. Panicked and unaware that the "wolf" that attacked them was her transformed mother, Genya screams and accuses Sanemi of murdering her. [1]

After that, Sanemi abandoned Genya and began hunting demons on his own with suicidal devotion. With no knowledge of Demon Slayers or Nichirin Swords, Sanemi armed himself with a multitude of weapons and fought demons at night, incapacitating and capturing them until dawn, then hanging them up to be killed by the morning sun. Despite this crude and reckless battle style, he managed to survive thanks to sheer luck and the unique scent of his blood.

While wandering the earth hunting demons, he eventually met a legitimate Demon Slayer, Masachika Kumeno, who aided him and introduced him to a suitable trainer. Eventually, during their career as Demon Slayers, the two would encounter and defeat Ubume, then the holder of the Lower Rank One of the Twelve Kizuki. However, Kumeno lost his life in the battle, and only Sanemi was promoted to the rank of Wind Hashira. By the time of his promotion, Gyomei Himejima, Kanae Kocho, Tengen Uzui, and Giyu Tomioka were already Hashiras.
Bitter over Kumeno's death, Sanemi takes out his anger on the Corps' leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, accusing him of blithely giving orders from above while Demon Slayers bleed and die for his cause. To his surprise, Kagaya takes the criticism with grace before mentioning Kumeno by name; Kanae then informs him that Kagaya has memorized the names and backgrounds of every Demon Slayer who has died since becoming leader. This discovery, and Kagaya's reading of Kumeno's will, gives Sanemi newfound respect for Kagaya. Afterwards, he is berated by his fellow Hashiras Kanae, Gyomei, and Tengen, with Giyu simply watching them from a distance.

Here, there are demons that eat humans, created by Muzan Kibutsuji. There are higher-ranking demons called "The 12 Upper Moons." And as the name suggests, there are 12 of them. Then there are the demon hunters, who form a community against the demons, seeking to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji and achieve peace. Within this community, there is a higher rank, the strongest, called Hashiras. The Hunters use a technique called Total Concentration Breathing to enhance their abilities.

Total Concentration Breathing is a form of breathing that increases bodily strength. It is best maneuvered with a katana or a weapon, but can also be practiced without one. There are variations of this technique; hunters create their own breathing style to adapt it to their skills and strength. Sanemi's breathing is that of the wind, focusing on violence, physical strength, and wind.
