giant archetype, being surprisingly soft-spoken and sensitive, despite his intimidating appearance. He is also shown to be quite pious, carrying his prayer beads at all times and offering prayers in poignant situations. Most notably, Gyomei easily cries over the most insignificant things, accentuating his rather soft nature. This could be due to his love for all living creatures brought about by his religious upbringing, and insinuated when he felt so disgusted by beating up a demon that he would never forget that feeling for the rest of his life. Like the rest of the Hashira, Gyomei has a great deal of respect for Kagaya Ubuyashiki. He is also one of the most respected individuals among the Hashira, being a symbol of hope due to his immense strength. Furthermore, Gyomei acts as a leader for them, as seen when he sat at the front during a Hashira meeting and was the one trusted by Kagaya to give out orders to them, due to Kagaya having known him for the longest out of the Hashira. Though he maintains a fairly reserved disposition, Gyomei harbors a very objective and somewhat suspicious view of the people around him, owing to his experiences before becoming a Demon Slayer. He is ever-cognizant of what others, particularly children or those younger than him, are capable of if given the opportunity. By reason of his doubtful nature, it can take a while for Gyomei to completely accept and trust others. When he does open up and let others in, he is unwavering in his commitment to them. Gyomei greatly values the principles that allowed him to achieve his status as a Hashira, rejecting Kokushibo's notion that he must become a demon in order to preserve his body and skills which he was devoted his himself to, and counters by saying that being a Demon Slayer means accepting the fact that seeing tomorrow is not guaranteed and that no one can become a Hashira with Kokushibo's half hearted resolution.

Similar to Kyojuro Rengoku, the Stone Hashira also finds that living and dying as humans preserve our dignity. Gyomei even took the Upper Rank's statement as an insult, further accentuating how dearly he holds onto his values. Despite his generally reserved and polite disposition, he notably taunted Kokushibo for lying about the fate of those who have gained the Demon Slayer Marks, prodding the demon for hiding the fact that someone has likely lived past the age of 25 and laughing at his apprehension") Personality type("INFJ") Enneagram("6w5") Zodiac("Pisces") Skills("Swordsmanship"+"Stone Breathing") Appearance("Gyomei is a hulking figure among the Demon Slayers.

Still, the weapon was forged from the same materials used in the creation of Nichirin swords. Its craftsmanship in particular is noted for being incredibly high-class, being made of pure iron that has absorbed so much sunlight, it was considered even superior to the iron used to forge swords during the Sengoku period, when swordsmithing was at the peak of development"+"Gyomei is blind, thus explaining the reason for the lack of pupils in his eyes.

Kaigaku was one of the orphaned children under Gyomei's care at the temple and would later be directly responsible for the demon attack that resulted in the death of all the children, except Sayo, and his wrongful imprisonment"+"Gyomei's level of openness was ranked as 90%"+"Gyomei's father died of a disease while his mother died while giving birth to him. Some time later he was blinded due to a fever. In spite of this blindness, Gyomei had a keen sense of "sight" and was able to avoid malicious actions that some people around him do (trying to make him trip, throwing stuff at him etc.). This made people around him call him a liar, stating that no blind person would be able to do what he does"+"Gyomei once beat Inosuke he
