Appearance
Tengen is a very tall, wide-set man of a bulky, muscular build with lightly-tanned skin.
His hair is white and of uneven length, the longest strands reaching his shoulders, and
is styled with three more notable, shorter clumps arching up to fall as bangs between
his eyes and on either side of his face. He has quite thin, maroon eyes that appear to
slant inwards, each with one long eyelash flowing to the far side of his face.
During his days serving Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen wears a sleeveless and dark
turquoise version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, along with a wrap of burgundy
cloth around his calves where his hakama pants tuck in, and white-strapped sandals.
He also wears two thick, golden rings around his upper arms and what appear to be a
pair of fingerless blue gloves, secured around his middle finger with a band of white and
his wrists with another set of thinner gold rings, this time with two on each side. As well
as this, Tengen sports a white head-wrap that covers his hair, leaving only a thin
ponytail visible to fall behind his head from between its layers, which is adorned with a
large headband of pale gray that's decorated by six light pink gemstones, three large
and arranged in a line, and three small and arranged in a triangle to the far left. A chain
of smaller, pale blue gemstones hangs from each side of this headdress, framing his
face, and he also wears what looks to be red eye make-up around his left eye,
consisting of alternating large and small dots that run inwards, towards his eye.
After his retirement from the Demon Slayer Corps due to the injuries his sustained
during his fight with one of the Upper Rank 6 Demons, Gyutaro, Tengen changes his
appearance to coordinate the loss of his left eye and hand. He now wears a long, aqua
colored yukata and a black haori, and replaces his old head-wrap with a dark eyepatch
adorned with what look to be the remaining gemstones left over from his old headdress,
leaving his hair to fall loosely past his shoulders.

Personality
Tengen is a very eccentric person, always wanting to complete actions "flamboyantly."
Although he has displayed an uncaring and forceful attitude towards some people—he
gets excited imagining how "flamboyant" it would be if Tanjiro Kamado's blood vessels
exploded, and tries to forcefully haul Aoi Kanzaki off to the Entertainment District with
him so she can unwillingly help him with a dangerous mission—he also has a caring
side that is mainly only shown towards his most treasured ones, most notably his three
wives, Makio, Suma, and Hinatsuru. He also shows a somewhat nicer side towards
Tanjiro after their mission and starts to accept him more as the series goes on.

Although it is heavily implied, Tengen likely has self esteem issues and deep regrets under his
outgoing front. During the battle with Gyutaro, he compared himself to his fellow Hashira,
(Muichiro Tokito, Gyomei Himejima, Kyojuro Rengoku) for having natural talent. He also
thinks that he is not capable of nurturing others like Rengoku or Shinobu.
Despite being a shinobi that has traditionally valued completing the mission over all
else, Tengen has rejected that ideology after seeing its effect on his family.[2] Now, he
believes that his subordinates, whether they be his wives or the Demon Slayers under
his command, should value their lives, and the lives of innocents, over their missions or
his own.[4][5]
Abilities
Overall Abilities: As a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen is a very powerful
swordsman.[6] He has displayed numerous abilities that allow him to easily overpower
Demons in a fight and even allow him to battle on par against the Upper Rank of the
Twelve Kizuki. During his fight against Gyutaro, he was able to fight evenly with the
Upper Rank 6 while protecting others at the same time, a feat made all the more
impressive by the fact that he also had to fight off Daki as well during one point in the
fight.[7] As the Sound Hashira, Tengen utilizes a sound-based combat style.
Physical Abilities
Immense Strength: Tengen possesses great physical strength, as shown during his
fight with Gyutaro and Daki. One example of this is his ability to use his blades with
great proficiency while only holding them at the tip and with only two fingers,[8] as well
as being able to fight Gyutaro with only one hand after his left hand was cut off.[9] In an
arm-wrestling contest between Hashira, Tengen is ranked second, with only Gyomei
surpassing him. He was also able to knock out Inosuke and Zenitsu with a single strike
each, though it was in a comical manner.
Immense Speed & Reflexes: Tengen possesses great speed, as stated by Inosuke
Hashibira.[10] He is able to cut off Daki's head before she can even register his
movements.[11]
Immense Stamina & Endurance: Due to his upbringing being raised to become a ninja
and his own father's increased attempts to revive their clan by forcing Tengen and his
siblings to train even more harshly and painfully then necessary, Tengen developed
powerful resistance to pain, as seen where he bared little to no reaction at having being
caught up in a hail of Kunai knives and being pierced by them without even flinching or
showing any form of discomfort or pain, continuing his battle against Gyutaro with full
concentration. Later Tengen was also noted to have suffered other severe/painful
injuries during this battle and managed to acclimate/ignore the pain of such injuries as
well.
 Poison Resistance: As a shinobi, Tengen has been shown to possess
high resistance to poison to the point where he could continue fighting while
under the effects of a poison from Gyutaro [12] that should have killed him
instantly.
Mental Abilities
Tactical Intellect: Tengen has a lot of experience in battle as a ninja and Demon
Slayer, shown during his battle with Gyutaro, where he displayed incredible judgement
and precision in use of his anti-demon bombs.
Miscellaneous Abilities
Enhanced Senses: As a former ninja and skilled Demon Slayer, Tengen's senses are
extremely honed and precise, allowing him to senses demonic presences over a wide
distance.
 Enhanced Hearing: Tengen has shown to possess superhuman hearing
similar to that of Zenitsu Agatsuma. This ability allows him to easily hear
noises deep underground, and he uses it to immediately figure out that
there are underground tunnels and caves directly beneath him when he's
looking for Tanjiro and Daki.
 Echolocation: Complementing his enhanced hearing, Tengen
also possesses echolocation. When trying to find the location
of a battle underground, he analyzed the sounds reflected and
resonated through the air by the walls of the caverns, and
accurately locates and is even able to guess the number of
people inside the tunnels by listening to the sound bouncing
from their physical bodies.[13]
Indomitable Will: Like all Demon Slayers, Tengen has an undaunted will, especially
with his resolution to protect everyone else and his wives, his lifeline and joy.
Fighting Style
Master Swordsman: Being a Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen is one of the
most powerful and skilled swordsmen in the entire organization.[6]
Swordsmanship
おと こきゅう
Sound Breathing ( 音 の呼 吸  Oto no kokyū?): A Breathing Style that is branched
out from the Thunder Breathing. The Sound Breathing combat style involves using a
battle strategy called a "Score", which involves Tengen reading his opponents
movements and deconstructing them into sound by analyzing the rhythm of their
movements. Through this, he is able to take advantage of their openings to much
greater effect by striking in a way similar to making the beat to a song. His combat style
focuses on generating huge amounts of sound to overwhelm his opponents. In
conjunction with this, he uses small but powerful anti-demon bombs made with a special
gunpowder that are capable of overpowering an Upper Rank Demon briefly, and uses
his sound abilities to make sure there is no collateral damage on humans when
throwing them out of his line of sight.
いち かた とどろき
1. First Form: Roar ( 壱 ノ 型   轟  Ichi no kata: Todoroki?)[14] -
Tengen lifts his twin swords above his head and slams them down with
great force whilst simultaneously creating an explosion with his bombs,
causing a loud sound resembling thunder.

 Fourth Form: Constant Resounding Slashes (肆ノ 型   響 斬 無

spins them rapidly in conjunction with releasing his bombs, making this
technique a combination of offense and defense.
ご かた めいげんそうそう
 Fifth Form: String Performance (伍ノ 型   鳴 弦 奏 々  Go no kata:
Meigen Sōsō?)[16] - Tengen holds one of his swords with a reverse grip and
spins the other using the chain that connects them. He couples this by also
releasing numerous bombs to detonate. This technique was able to
overpower an Upper Rank Demon.
Equipment
 Dual Giant Nichirin Cleavers: Befitting Tengen's flamboyant personality,
he carries an equally flamboyant set of weaponry. As his main weapons, he
uses two larger-than-normal Nichirin Blades that are amber in color, which
each have a notch in the sharp ends of their blades and are held together
at the hilt by a metal chain.[17] His swords are said to have large amounts of
explosive power, and it is stated that, until Tengen's fight with Upper Rank
6, no one had ever survived a blow from them. His hilt circular shaped with
4 slight indentations and gold in color, there's a maroon ring that connects
to the center; it has an outer green border. His blades are engraved with
あっきめっさつ
the phrase Destroyer of Demons ( 惡 鬼 滅 殺  Akki Messatsu?).
