“	Don't cry. Don't despair. Now's not the time for that. [...] Feel the rage. The powerful pure rage of not being able to forgive will become your unswerving drive to take action!	„
	~ Giyu's drive

“	Don't say that you'd be better off dying ever again! If you do, you and I are done. We'll stop being friends. Your sister was supposed to get married the next day, and despite knowing that, she hid you from the demons and protected you. You have nobody...? That's an insult to your sister. You can't die ever. That life she lost to protect you? That future she left for you? They're still with you, Giyu.	„
	~ Sabito to Giyu as kids

“	I must pass on what was entrusted to me. Never again will I let family and friends die before my eyes. I'll save him. I will save Tanjiro the same way I was saved.	„
	~ Giyu's resolve

Summary

Giyu Tomioka (富岡とみおか 義ぎ勇ゆう, Tomioka Giyū^?) is a major supporting character of Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is a Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Corps and the current Water Hashira (水みず柱ばしら, Mizu Bashira^?).

He grew up alongside his older sister. When he was still a child, his sister sacrificed herself to protect him from the demons. Giyu tried to tell others about it, however, he was labeled as mentally ill and was sent away to one of his relatives, a doctor. He ran away and almost died on a mountain but was rescued by Sakonji Urokodaki who would train him.

Giyu was 13 years old when he met Sabito while training under Sakonji, and they became good friends. Together, they entered the Final Selection. Giyu was injured after a demon's attack and was saved by Sabito, who defeated nearly every demon on the mountain. However, Sabito ended up being the only one who died in the selection and Giyu joined the Demon Slayer Corps.
