Kyojuro Rengoku was so heavily requested I had to move him to the top of the list among new Anime Workout Routines.
To be fair: Demon Slayer Inspired Workouts are extremely popular in general and we’ll be getting three new ones this week in total, but Rengoku happened to be requested the most.
Along with Fairy Tail now getting it’s very own mini-workout-database and joining anime like Dragon Ball Z, My Hero Academia, Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen and Hunter x Hunter – Demon Slayer will also be our newest added to the list as we pass ten total workouts inspired by characters from the show.
Oh, and of course we’ll also be breaking into some listicles with the most popular and powerful characters as well!
Kyojuro Rengoku Stats:
Real Name: Kyojuro Rengoku
Height: 5’9 1/2
Weight: 159 lbs.
Anime: Demon Slayer
Powers: Yes
Rengoku is a bit above average height when compared to male anime characters we’ve seen, but technically below average if compared to male celebrities.
Although he obviously doesn’t come close to anime behemoths like All Might and Endeavor.
Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4. Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.
One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.
We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.
Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.
But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.
We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Kyojuro Rengoku Diet and Nutrition
**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**
Every hero needs to still have a good diet.
Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.
You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.
You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.
Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.
It’s all about sustainability.
AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.
Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!
Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Kyojuro Rengoku Workout Routine Research
We’ve made it to “the fun part”.
And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.
To start us off we’re going to be pulling right from Kyojuro Rengoku’s Wiki Fandom page to learn a bit more about him and begin building this routine.
Here’s what they give us for his very brief introduction area:
Kyojuro Rengoku was a major supporting character of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and a major character in the Mugen Train Arc. He was a Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Corps and the former Flame Hashira.
Moving into his powers and abilities section we learn a bit more about what we’ll be basing this routine around.
They start off with a section devoted to explaining his overall powers and abilities:
Overall Abilities: As a former Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kyojuro was a very powerful swordsman. Even Demons as strong as Akaza, Upper Rank 3 and the fourth-strongest of the known Demons, acknowledged Kyojuro’s strength. He even went as far as to offer to turn Kyojuro into a Demon so he could surpass his human limits and become stronger, something he only offered to swordsmen whose abilities he believed were refined to their utmost. Akaza also complimented his battle spirit and stated that it is getting close to the “domain of supremacy,” which meant that he was incredibly close to obtaining the Transparent World, if only he could awaken his Demon Slayer Mark. His father, Shinjuro Rengoku, stated that, after his son abandoned what he taught him, Kyojuro trained himself into the level of a Hashira after reading through an instruction book of the Flame Breathing style, a book which only had 3 volumes.
From there they even go in to break down each one of his physical abilities that are enhanced as well.
Here’s what they give us:
Immense Strength: As a former Hashira who spent years perfecting his physical prowess, Kyojuro possessed amazing physical strength, being capable of swinging his katana at speeds faster than the eye can see incessantly and terrifying accuracy while engaging in combat. Kyojuro also possessed a caliber of grip strength that was able to hold down Upper Rank 3, Akaza, one of the strongest characters in the series, despite having his Solar Plexus pierced earlier, to the point that Akaza expressed his disbelief and shock over strength he describes as “unbelievable”.
Immense Speed & Reflexes: Kyojuro possessed great speed and reflexes that even a trained and gifted Demon Slayer like Tanjiro couldn’t perceive or register. Kyojuro could even cause tremors to the ground and nearly launching a train off its tracks by running at speeds faster than the eye can see. His reflexes were so fast that he managed to cut Akaza’s hand in half moments before the Upper Rank was going to kill Tanjiro. Kyojuro also managed to keep up with Akaza’s high-speed techniques, which even the Hashira remarks is faster than the blink of an eye, sometimes even managing to out-speed him. Inosuke Hashibira himself noted that Kyojuro was in a different dimension due to his blinding attacks and speed. Kyojuro’s phenomenal movement speed and reflexes even surprised and impressed Akaza, who openly expressed his amazement over.
Immense Stamina & Endurance: Kyojuro displayed superhuman stamina and endurance during his battles over the course of the series. In his Special One-Shot, Kyojuro ruptured his eardrums on purpose, yet didn’t flinch in the slightest, ignoring the pain and continuing to fight. In his Gaiden, he suffered dozens of severe wounds and injuries from the former Lower Rank 2, Hairo, but continued to stall enough time for all the bombs he planted to be disarmed without showing any signs of pain or fatigue, which shocked even Hairo, who questioned himself on whether the person he met in the past was really the same person he was fighting now. Furthermore, his battle against Enmu when he fused with an entire train, he was able to keep him at bay in 5 different train carts without tiring. Lastly, he managed to keep up with his strongest opponent yet, Akaza, despite physically and mentally exert himself beyond his limit and sustaining multiple irreversible and fatal wounds, like a smashed eye, shattered ribs and damaged internal organs. Most impressively, he managed to keep Akaza at bay despite having his vital spot, his Solar Plexus, pierced by the Upper Rank’s arm and bleeding out. Despite all of his fatal wounds and injuries, he never once flinched or showed signs of pain or agony.
While I didn’t cut out any of the description for this section, moving forward I will being that this is really what we’ll be working with to build the routine.
We’ll need to be focused in on our overall strength, speed, and endurance!
That being said, they also mention that Rengoku has and is:
- Enhanced Senses
- Master Swordsman
- Tactical Intellect
But for the sake of this one, as I mentioned, we’ll focus in on the physical abilities and do our best to unleash our inner Rengoku!
