The Most Popular Demon Slayer Characters of All Time are kind of who you would think they are.
This list doesn’t have a ton of flair in that sense, but I did make sure to break it down with a good handful of runner-ups as well!
Oh, and this list is likely automatically better than any other list you’ll read on the internet because I’m able to include awesome workout routines that every single one of these characters has inspired here at SHJ!
I know Demon Slayer is one of the most popular anime right now, especially if I take into account how many requests we get for the characters routines here – so we also were recently able to build out our Demon Slayer Inspired Workout Database AND even put together a Demon Slayer Workout Placement Quiz to help you guys pick the best workout for YOU specifically.
Oh, and don’t worry – we have A LOT more than just Demon Slayer in our Anime Workout Database and all over the site.
If you like listicles like this one, here are a few more I think you might like:

- Best Anime to Watch on Hulu Right Now
Of course we’ve also done a handful of “Most Powerful” and “Most Popular” for other anime so if you’d like to check those out you can visit our other listicles here.
As far as how I built this one: we’re going straight to the voters scores from MyAnimeList and The Demon Slayer Wiki Fandom Popularity Polls.
For this I won’t be factoring in Academy members and SHJ Army votes strictly because of how it lined up between MyAnimeList and Wiki, but in future lists I may again!
As always, leave your comments below if you were expecting other characters!
MOST POPULAR DEMON SLAYER CHARACTERS
Number Ten: Muichiro Tokito
Occupation/Role: Demon Slayer
Breathing Style: Mist Breathing
Coming in and starting our list of the most popular Demon Slayer characters off at number ten is Muichiro Tokito!
Muichiro Tokito is one of the youngest Demon Slayers – and he’s also The Demon Corps Mist Hashira! He ranked much lower on the Wiki Fandom list but I gave him a bit of a boost from the MyAnimeList so that he still comes in at the top ten.
I’m curious if you guys would also have him in your top ten.

Number Nine: Mitsuri Kanroji
Occupation/Role: Demon Slayer
Breathing Style: Love Breathing
Next up on our list of the most popular Demon Slayer characters is Mitsuri Kanroji!
Mitsuri is The Demon Slayer Corps Love Hashira. Mitsuri came in higher on the MyAnimeList but placed around twelve on the Wiki Fandom polls – which isn’t THAT far off.
Mitsuri is the emotional and passionate Demon Slayer, which makes sense and goes along with her breathing style – while also definitely playing a factor in her overall popularity among fans.

Number Eight: Kanao Tsuyuri
Occupation/Role: Demon Slayer
Breathing Style: Flower Breathing
Coming in at number eight among the most popular Demon Slayer characters is Kanao Tsuyuri.
Kanao is another super young Demon Slayer, like Muichiro, but just two years older.
Kanao is The Demon Corps Flower Hashira and came in around this slot on both the lists we’re pulling from (and others, actually), making the positioning here very easily.

Number Seven: Kyojuro Rengoku
Occupation/Role: Demon Slayer
Breathing Style: Flame Breathing
Coming in at number seven among the most popular Demon Slayer characters is Kyojuro Rengoku.
I personally think Rengoku deserves a higher slot after his huge surge of popularity from the Demon Slayer movie (Demon Slayer: Mugen Train).
Rengoku is The Demon Slayer Corps Flame Hashira and he’s one of the most powerful and skilled swordsman in the entire Demon Corps organization.
If we based it solely on requests for a Rengoku inspired workout routine alone he would EASILY place within the top three on this list.

Number Six: Giyu Tomioka
Occupation/Role: Demon Slayer
Breathing Style: Water Breathing
Coming in at number six and just missing the top five most popular Demon Slayer characters is one of my personal favorites: Giyu Tomioka.
I’m not sure if it has to do with Giyu being there since the very beginning with our journey through Demon Slayer, his overall demeanor, or how he sticks up for Tanjiro and Nezuko; or just a mix of all of them – but he’s always been in my top three to five characters.
Giyu Tomioka at SHJ:
Number Five: Shinobu Kocho
Occupation/Role: Demon Slayer
Breathing Style: Insect Breathing
Starting off our top five most popular Demon Slayer characters is Shinobu Kocho.
Shinobu is The Demon Corps Insect Hashira and the way Nezuko changed her feelings towards demons and brought out a new compassionate side won us as fans over to her. Her placement on most lists have her within the top five!

Number Four: Inosuke Hashibira
Occupation/Role: Demon Slayer
Breathing Style: Beast Breathing
Coming in at number four among the most popular Demon Slayer characters starts our list of four characters that basically made the top four in every single list I saw.
Inosuke came in at number four almost all of the time, with the exception of one or two, but he’s definitely a fan favorite!
Inosuke is definitely a little nuts, but his outrageous craziness is a ton of fun and mixes well with Zenitsu’s completely opposite crazy.

Number Three: Zenitsu Agatsuma
Occupation/Role: Demon Slayer
Breathing Style: Thunder Breathing
Zenitsu comes in next, although he definitely splits his placement among the top three most popular Demon Slayer characters with our next two – even coming in as number one on some polls among fans!
Zenitsu isn’t my personal favorite, although I do really like his Thunder Breathing and his little mini bursts of courage and determination – but the rest of his character is just a little much for me.
Zenitsu at SHJ:

Number Two: Nezuko Kamado
Occupation/Role: Demon
Breathing Style: N/A (Likes to Kick Stuff)
Coming in at number two strictly because that’s where she was placed on the two lists we’re working with (although she also makes the top slot on a handful of lists) is Nezuko!
Half human, half demon, meme queen and Demon Slayer ultimate waifu – Nezuko is probably my personal favorite character.
Especially when she kicks random things – like other demon’s heads off.

Number One: Tanjiro Kamado
Occupation/Role: Demon Slayer
Breathing Style: Water Breathing
Coming in as the most popular Demon Slayer character is Tanjiro Kamado!
Tanjiro is an overly kind person and will do anything for his family (Nezuko) and his friends (Inosuke and Zenitsu for example) – and it clearly wins over the fans hearts.
I’m a huge Tanjiro fan and I definitely place him within my top three.
Where do you have him on your list?
