Random Demon Slayer Character Generator

Enter a number from 1 to 10, press the button, and the Random Demon Slayer Character Generator deals that many characters from a list of 50 people and demons from Kimetsu no Yaiba, each with a picture and their name. It is a fan-made randomizer for choosing who to draw, cosplay, write about or play in a "which character are you" game, and it is not affiliated with Koyoharu Gotouge, Shueisha or Ufotable.

How it works

There is one input, the number of characters, and one button. The tool shuffles the full list and shows the first however-many you asked for, so a batch of ten never repeats a character (with one exception noted below). There is no filter for slayers versus demons, Hashira versus lower ranks, or anime-only versus manga characters. Press the button again and you get a fresh shuffle.

Who can come up

Names use Japanese order, family name first, as in Kamado Tanjirou and Agatsuma Zenitsu. The 50 entries break down roughly like this:

• The core group: Kamado Tanjirou, Kamado Nezuko, Agatsuma Zenitsu, Hashibira Inosuke, Tsuyuri Kanao and Shinazugawa Genya.
• The Hashira: Tomioka Giyuu, Kochou Shinobu, Rengoku Kyoujurou, Uzui Tengen, Kanroji Mitsuri, Tokitou Muichirou, Himejima Gyoumei, Iguro Obanai and Shinazugawa Sanemi.
• Demons: Kibutsuji Muzan, Akaza, Douma, Daki, Gyuutarou, Rui, Enmu, Kyougai, Susamaru, the Mother and Older Sister Spider Demons, plus the allied demons Tamayo and Yushirou.
• Mentors, family and supporting cast: Urokodaki Sakonji, Sabito, Makomo, Kuwajima Jigorou, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, the swordsmith Haganezuka Hotaru, Kochou Kanae, Tengen's wives Suma, Makio and Hinatsuru, the Butterfly Mansion girls Kanzaki Aoi, Terauchi Kiyo, Nakahara Sumi and Takada Naho, Murata, and the Kamado and Rengoku families (Tanjuurou, Kie, Hanako, Senjurou, Shinjurou, Ruka).

The list leans toward the first two seasons and the Mugen Train arc. Later Upper Moons such as Kokushibou and Hantengu are not included, and neither are Swordsmith Village or Hashira Training newcomers. The picture for each character is a single portrait; there are no stats, breathing styles or bios on the card.

Ways people use it

• Art challenges. Draw three random characters in one sitting, or one a day for a month of practice with faces you would not have picked yourself.
• Cosplay or group photo planning. Deal one character to each friend and let the generator settle who gets to be a Hashira.
• Fan fiction prompts. Generate two characters and write the scene in which they meet, especially if it is a pairing the series never gives you, like Kyougai and Makomo.
• Icebreakers and quizzes. Show the picture with the name hidden and see who can identify the character and their breathing style or Blood Demon Art fastest.

For other series, the Random Naruto Character Generator and One Piece Character Generator work the same way, the Random Devil Fruit Generator rolls a power instead of a person, and the Random Anime Character Generator mixes shows together. See all game and anime generators for the full set.
