There are a wide variety of characters inDemon Slayer, each with their own unique mannerisms and goals. Since they possess such distinctive personalities,Demon Slayer’scast can be categorized using the most common traits assigned to each of the twelve Zodiac signs.
When observing their attitudes and actions, it becomes abundantly clear that these twelve characters align perfectly with specific Zodiac signs. From the pensive, reserved Giyu to the patient, kindhearted Tanjiro, every one oftheseDemon Slayercharactershas obvious characteristics that connect them well to a particular star sign.
12Aries (Ram) - Kyojuro Rengoku
Considering it is a fire sign, there is no one that aligns with the Aries star sign more than Kyojuro Rengoku. Aside from his fiery persona as the Flame Hashira, those with the Aries sign are often characterized by their passion, zest for life, and unfaltering courage, even in the face of terrifying risks, just like Rengoku.
Even duringRengoku’s final fight with Akaza, he refused to give up. He showcased true bravery and never backed down from the fight when others' lives were in danger. Just like the bold Flame Hashira, a typical Aries refuses to turn their back on their dreams too, even if attaining them seems difficult or tricky.
11Taurus (Bull) - Akaza
Tauruses are Earth signs, and just like the Earth itself, are known for being grounded, as well as loyal and dedicated to the aims they pursue. During both his human existence and his life after he was transformed into a demon by Muzan, Akaza has always been one ofDemon Slayer’smost goal-oriented characters.
While he was a human, Akaza never stopped working to help his sick father, and after that, fighting to protect the dojo owner, Keizo, who took him in after his father’s death. As a demon, his ambition shifted, and he became singularly focused on becoming the strongest Upper Moon.
Akaza certainly has his flaws and ends up becoming a villain who battles alongside the corrupt Muzan, but underlying his evil actions are some more positive Taurus traits. He is devoted to his goals and remains committed to his promises, like never killing women, even though his desires do unfortunately become skewed by malice.
10Gemini (Twins) - Shinobu Kocho
Some of the common hallmarks of the Gemini air sign are curiosity, intelligence, and friendliness, which are all characteristics that Insect Hashira, Shinobu, possesses.She may not be ranked as the strongest Hashirawhen it comes to physical might, but Shinobu’s brain cannot be beat, and it was her wisdom that helped the demon slayers stand a chance against Muzan.
Coupling her knowledge of deadly poisons and her firsthand experience with demons and their biology, Shinobu worked alongside Tamayo and Yushiro to develop a powerful “Anti-Kibutsuji Drug,” that weakened Muzan significantly. Shinobu’s inquisitiveness and intellect not only connect her to the Gemini sign, they enabled her to save so many lives.
9Cancer (Crab) - Zenitsu Agatsuma
The water sign Cancer is often described as the most emotional and sensitive star sign, and noDemon Slayercharacter wears their heart on their sleeve more than Zenitsu. Although some find his terrified meltdowns to be irritating, the only thing stronger than Zenitsu’s palpable fear is his love for others.
His adoration for his friends is reflected through his willingness to continue demon slaying even though it frightens him. Zenitsu truly cares about helping other people, which is something Cancers really value. Although he is quite impassioned, Zenitsu is not self-centered and will always come to a friend’s rescue when needed.
8Leo (Lion) - Inosuke Hashibira
Leos are fire signs, who are very confident, protective, and seemingly fearless. Inosuke Hashibira is theDemon Slayercharacter most likely to confront a new challenge head on, sometimes without even giving it a second thought before he springs into action. He is very proud of his impressive abilities and uses them in his quest to become the strongest.
Inosuke also always looks out for those he cares for, including Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Nezuko, displaying the typical Leo protectiveness. He is a true firecracker with aspirations of becoming the best demon slayer, and armed with his trust in himself and charisma, Inosuke continually achieves great things both on the battlefield and in his personal life.
7Virgo (Virgin) - Tamayo
Tamayo works dutifully as a doctor inDemon Slayer,and although she is a demon, she does not consume people like other demons do. She is committed to helping humanity using her medical expertise, and alongside Shinobu,Tamayo invents a poison to weaken Muzan. Virgos are often described as thoughtful, hardworking, and meticulous when it comes to details.
All these Virgo skills are found in Tamayo, and it is her attention to detail, wisdom, and tireless work ethic that brought the demon slayers one step closer to catching and defeating Muzan once and for all. Both her remarkable brainpower and her resolve to work hard would surely make any Virgo proud.
6Libra (Balance) - Tanjiro Kamado
Demon Slayer’sprotagonist, Tanjiro Kamado, brings many things to the series, but most of all, he provides balance. His soothing demeanor and willingness to listen to the life stories of even the most despicable demons prove that he is one of the most patient individuals in anime. He may be a demon slayer, but he also leads with compassion.
Libras are air signs, and just like Tanjiro, they prize balance and justice as core values in their lives. They wish to achieve spectacular goals, but do not want to hurt anyone else in the process because of the empathetic nature that guides them. Similarly, Tanjiro refuses to let demons continue their harm, but defeats them as kindly as possible.
5Scorpio (Scorpion) - Sanemi Shinazugawa
Scorpios are passionate about everything in their lives, especially the people they love and the objectives they pursue. They can sometimes be interpreted by others as stubborn, because they can become laser-focused on their intentions and driven by intense energy and commitment.
Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Wind Hashira, sometimes lashes out at the other Hashira, but beneath his temper is a heart of gold. Those close to him, like his brother Genya, mean the world to Sanemi, even if he does not always express that love verbally. Most of all, Sanemi’s admirable actions as a demon slayer reveal how deeply he cares.
4Sagittarius (Archer) - Mitsuri Kanroji
Although she has had struggles in her life like anyone else, Mitsuri Kanroji is the bubbliest, most optimistic Hashira. Her joy is infectious and rubs off on everyone around her. People who are Sagittariuses, a fire sign, are also often happy-go-lucky and always on the move, constantly seeking their next adventure.
Demon Slayer’sLove Hashira Mitsurimakes a point of cheering up other people, softening the hearts of even the most reservedDemon Slayercharacters, like Serpent Hashira, Obanai Iguro. In the dark, death-filled world the demon slayers live in, Mitsuri’s Sagittarius-like positivity is much-needed.
3Capricorn (Goat) - Giyu Tomioka
Few signs are as relentless and disciplined as the Earth sign, Capricorn. People with this Zodiac sign are often praised for their commendable work ethic and adherence to the plans they decide upon. Giyu Tomioka, the Water Hashira, definitely possesses these attributes, becoming a more effective Hashira every day through intense training.
Capricorns enjoy their independence at times, and Giyu is the same, often practicing his demon-slaying skills alone. Those who are Capricorns are not fully individualistic though. They also love others fiercely, seen in Giyu through his care for his friends like Tanjiro, the Hashira, and his late best friend, Sabito.
