There's no single "favorite" Hashira, as it varies by fan, but Kyojuro Rengoku (Flame Hashira), Giyu Tomioka (Water Hashira), and Muichiro Tokito (Mist Hashira) are consistently among the most popular, often cited for Rengoku's inspiring spirit, Giyu's complexity, and Muichiro's quiet power and growth, with others also loving Shinobu, Sanemi, and Mitsuri.
Giyu and Kyojuro are the most well-liked Hashira due to their protective and warm nature. The Hashira of Demon Slayer are some of the most prominent characters in the series, and though ranking them on power is simple, ranking them on likability can be a lot more tricky.
Among the Hashira, Gyomei Himejima is recognized as the strongest, showcasing immense strength and being respected as the leader of the group.
Top 5 Demon Slayer Characters Fans Can't Get Enough Of
Mitsuri Kanroji: The Love Hashira
Kind and Compassionate: She genuinely cares for her comrades and seeks love and companionship despite the dangers of being a Hashira.

Fun fact: nezuko's favorite hashira is sanemi.
The only canonically LGBTQ+ character in Demon Slayer is Suma, one of Tengen Uzui's wives, who is confirmed to be bisexual and polyamorous in the series' databooks, showing affection for both men and women, including Tengen and her fellow wives, Makio and Hinatsuru. While other characters like Mitsuri are speculated to be queer, Suma is the sole officially confirmed character, with her relationship dynamic highlighting both bisexuality and polyamory within the Demon Slayer Corps.
Due to being socially awkward, Giyu doesn't really acknowledge Sanemi when Sanemi was talking to him, so Sanemi hated Giyu for it. As for Obanai, Giyu already disregarded the rules and was being perceived as arrogant when he didn't participate in the training and gave that explanation.
According to a Shonen Jump Popularity poll Zenitsu is the number one most favorite character! Is this even a surprise?
By the end of the manga, only one Hashira survives and lives a full life: Tengen Uzui, the Sound Hashira. The rest meet tragic ends, either in battle or due to the toll of their Demon Slayer Marks.
#1 Kyojuro Rengoku – Flame Hashira
Rengoku became our favorite Hashira for obvious reasons, but it's also true that his Flame abilities are one of the most powerful. This paired with his determination, empathetic and kind attitude, and his overall passionate personality, makes Rengoku #1 on this list.
GIYU TOMIOKA (one of the coolest hashira and seems to have no feelings. GIYU is actually strong but it seems like his strength is not improving and you know that their opponent is a demon and not a human.
People are saying that Tengen is a bad/weak Hashira because he needed help from others in order to defeat an Upper Moon.
One of the reasons people might consider Shinobu the "weakest" Hashira is because, unlike the others, she can't behead demons, which is usually the easiest way to kill them. Instead, she uses poison to defeat them.
Shinobu Takatsuki (高槻 忍, Takatsuki Shinobu) is a gay character from Junjou Romantica.
Giyuu Tomioka
Two words: Concupiscent and moderately-paced. He starts with a kiss on your cheeks until it reaches your luscious lips, and trust me, this guy does not hold back, he doesn't like disingenuousness and which is why he'd always be giving 100 percent.
Although the manga does not directly depict the moment of his passing, according to official settings and the rules of the Mark, Tomioka Giyu ended his life at the age of 25 due to the price of the Mark. His death was not accompanied by battle and pain, but rather a peaceful departure after witnessing an era of peace.
He coldly insulted Mitsuri by telling her that only a bear, boar or cow would marry her, before leaving while telling her to forget they ever met. While this was maybe somewhat understandable, his harsh insults were completely unnecessarily.
Megumi Fushiguro from Jujutsu Kaisen is widely interpreted by fans as being pansexual, due to his stated preference for a partner with a strong moral compass rather than a specific gender or physical trait, suggesting attraction to people regardless of gender, though the manga doesn't explicitly label him. While some interpret his romantic feelings for Yuji as pansexuality in action, he hasn't had explicit romantic storylines yet, but his broad criteria point towards being non-gender-specific in his attractions.
Yes, Mitsuri Kanroji wears lime green thigh-high stockings with teal cuffs under her short pleated skirt, which are a gift from Obanai Iguro, as part of her modified Demon Slayer uniform that replaces standard hakama pants for flexibility.
Zenitsu Agatsuma
Upon seeing her for the first time, Zenitsu falls in love with Nezuko at first sight.
Sanemi became partially colorblind.
Nezuko's immunity to sunlight in Demon Slayer may come from eating the Blue Spider Lily, as shown in the anime's finale. The Blue Spider Lily's significance adds depth to Muzan's failure, highlighting his contempt for humanity in the series.
