Demon Slayer has cemented itself as one of the new big three in shonen anime. Since its release, the series has taken the world by storm and won the hearts of fans everywhere.
One of Demon Slayer's most appealing aspects is its extensive group of characters. From the main trio to all nine of the Hashira, this show has no shortage of unique personalities for fans to fall in love with. While it's easy to praise all of these characters for their strengths in combat or compare their Breathing Styles, it's also interesting to examine their physical attributes, such as height.
10 Obanai Iguro Is 5'4
Obanai Iguro is the Serpent Hashira. Though he's certainly not one of the tallest characters in the series, Obanai has used his small physique to his advantage and exceeded expectations.
Despite his lack of height and subpar physical abilities, Obanai has displayed impressive physical strength. He was even able to pin Tanjiro to the ground so hard that the young demon slayer could not breathe. He was also one of the few slayers to turn his sword red through the sheer power of his grip.
9 The Main Trio Are All Approximately 5'5
Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu are all 5'5. Despite not being the tallest demon slayers around, these three have impressed even the strongest Hashira. Tanjiro's strong willpower, combined with his impressive fighting abilities, makes him a formidable opponent.
Though Zenitsu's quite cowardly when he's awake, his true power awakens only when he's asleep. He was able to overpower and, ultimately, kill one of the Upper-Rank demons all by himself in this state. Meanwhile, Inosuke is just a half-inch shorter than his friends- but that doesn't mean he isn't just as impressive as a demon slayer. Short-tempered and stubborn like an ox, Inosuke has killed off or gravely injured some of the series' most formidable villains.
8 Mitsuri Kanroji Is 5'6
Mitsuri is the Love Hashira. She's revered as one of the strongest combatants in the Demon Slayer Corps. It's said that Mitsuri was successful at the Final Selection after only training for six months- a feat that even Rengoku considers commendable.
Mitsuri also has impressive physical strength because of the abnormal composition of her muscles. Her muscles have more density than that of an average person. Her limbs are thin, but her muscles give her superhuman levels of strength. Though Mitsuri is shy and gets flustered easily, she's certainly not one to mess with in combat.
7 Akaza Is 5'8
Akaza is the Upper-Rank Three demon in Muzan's Twelve Kizuki. Before becoming a demon, Akaza was a martial artist who could have been considered a prodigy. Since he's one of the highest-ranking demons in the Twelve Kizuki, Akaza is a formidable demon who has defeated several Hashira.
Since he had martial arts experience as a human, Akaza retained these skills after becoming a demon and combines them with his Blood Demon Art. Not only is he an overwhelming hand-to-hand combatant, but his Destructive Death combines martial arts with shockwaves to overpower an opponent.
6 Giyu Tomioka Is 5'9
Giyu is the Water Hashira in the Demon Slayer Corps. As one of the first demon slayers introduced in the series, he instantly became a fan favorite. His abilities are immense, and it's no question why Giyu is one of the strongest in the Corps.
When he fought Akaza, the demon remarked that he hadn't seen such a strong Water Hashira in over fifty years. As the strongest Water Breathing user in his generation, Giyu has several Breathing Style forms that should make any demon fear him.
5 Rengoku & Muzan Are Approximately 5'10

Kyojuro Rengoku is the Flame Hashira, while Muzan Kibutsuji was the first demon to roam the earth. He's also the leader of the Twelve Kizuki. Muzan became the first demon after trying to cure himself of a terrible illness. His goal was to achieve eternal life, and after achieving immortality, his next goal was to conquer the ill effects the sun has on demons so that they can roam freely.
Rengoku was one of the strongest in the Demon Slayer Corps. Before his defeat at Akaza's hands, Rengoku held his own for most of the battle and displayed his master swordsmanship and Flame Breathing abilities.
4 Sanemi Shinazugawa Is 5'11
Sanemi Shinazugawa is the Wind Hashira, and one of the strongest members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Known for his explosive personality and a stubborn streak that could even rival Inosuke, Sanemi has truly made his mark in the series.
He's proven his strength several times. When Sanemi sparred with Giyu, he held his own against the prodigious Water Hashira, proving himself to be at least on the same level. Sanemi has killed several Lower Rank demons and even put up a strong fight against an Upper-Rank One demon.
3 Doma is 6'2
Doma is the Upper-Rank Two demon of Muzan's Twelve Kizuki who made his mysterious appearance in the anime at the end of Season 2. Doma has been in the Twelve Kizuki for centuries and turned Gyutaro and Daki into demons, recruiting them into Muzan's group.
He's also the leader of a cult called the Eternal Paradise Faith. In this cult, all members worship Doma, and he provides his followers with advice. This is also how he scouts humans to kidnap and kill. Aside from being one of the most intelligent members of the Twelve Kizuki, Doma is also a skilled fighter. His Blood Demon Art, Cryokinesis, allows him to create ice anywhere that he can manipulate in the blink of an eye.
2 Tengen Uzui Is 6'6
Before retiring, Tengen was the Sound Hashira. After the Entertainment District Arc was animated, Tengen quickly became a fan favorite. His eccentric qualities, matched with his flashy style, stole fans' hearts everywhere. This flamboyant demon slayer proved himself one of the strongest members of the Corps.
​​​​​​​Coming from a long lineage of shinobi, Tengen has several skills that other members of the Corps don't, especially considering the brutal training he underwent as a child. He's the second-strongest overall Hashira in his entire generation. He's also the fastest runner amongst the Hashira. In Tengen's final fight before retirement, he was able to stand on equal footing with two Upper-Rank demons- Daki and Gyutaro.
1 Gyomei Himajima Is 7'2

Standing at a dizzying 7'2, Gyomei Himajima is the tallest character in the series. As the Stone Hashira, Gyomei is literally the textbook definition of a gentle giant. Despite his intimidating height, he's emotional and sensitive. He's a very spiritual individual, always seen carrying prayer beads.
Gyomei's strengths are unlike any other in Demon Slayer. He became a Hashira in just two months, something otherwise unheard of. Gyomei was able to fight toe-to-toe with the Upper-Rank One, Kokushibo, and even the demon acknowledged the Stone Hashira's undeniable abilities. His fighting style, the Kusarigamajutsu, is one of the most powerful in the series.
