Personality: Senjuro is, at the most basic level, a young boy with an immense, centuries-old legacy looming over him. It comes as no surprise, then, that he tends to be self-conscious, even anxious, in a lot of situations. Beyond that, he is a kind and sensitive individual, perhaps as a result of how he was raised. Though his mother died before he could remember her, his father and elder brother raised him with love. And while their father’s mood and mental health declined after his wife’s death, Senjuro’s brother Kyojuro never wavered in showing him love and support. Kyojuro himself appears to be a large source of inspiration for Senjuro, considering how often Senjuro alludes to what his brother would have done or would have wanted. It’s clear from his values that Senjuro wants to lead a life that his brother would be proud of.
In his early youth, Senjuro looked forward to following his family’s ancient tradition of rising in the ranks of the Demon Slayer Corps to take up the mantle of Flame Hashira. Unlike his elder brother and his father, though, Senjuro never showed talent in swordplay. For a long time, this didn’t stop him; despite hardship and emotional turmoil over not being good enough, he kept trying to hone his skills. He isn’t exactly stubborn, but rather very earnest and eager to please, and by the same note, hesitant to abandon the Rengoku legacy.
He defines his eventual change of heart as “giving up,” but deciding against pursuing swordsmanship doesn’t stop Senjuro from wanting to do what demon hunting is really about in the end; helping and protecting humankind. While he is still just a boy, he isn’t exactly sure at this point what he will do with his life, but he states that he will still dedicate himself to being useful to others. The thought that his now deceased brother would support this decision eases any misgivings he has about it.
Being as meek and obedient as he is, Senjuro is shown to have difficulty standing up for himself, namely to his father. He takes verbal abuse without complaint, although it upsets him to the point of tears. Even when their intoxicated father disparages Kyojuro for dying, Senjuro admits to being unable to speak up.
When push comes to shove, though, quite literally, Senjuro will come to others’ defense and aid. Tanjiro, who witnessed Kyojuro’s death, doesn’t sit idly by and gets into a physical spat with Shinjuro. And despite taking a blow from his father, Senjuro doesn’t heed his own pain and still tries to pull the retired Hashira off of an already injured Tanjiro. In this situation, Senjuro shows that he is already a bit of a mediator, mentioning afterward that Tanjiro probably shouldn’t hit people, either.
All in all, what Senjuro really wants at the end of the day is to be good to other people. Even when it is uncomfortable for him, he tries to help to the best of his ability, even if he considers said ability to be wanting.

There’s something familiar about Ecruteak City, despite Senjuro never having been to it before. In a way, it feels reminiscent of home. Perhaps it’s simply the architecture, or maybe it’s the celebration of familiar traditions. Either way, he spends his first few hours in the city enjoying it with his Pokemon, the closest friends he’s had outside of his family or the corps in… perhaps forever.
They visit a few shops, supporting the local vendors, admire the mighty tower from afar, and rest at the edge of the lake, admiring the sun glinting off of the water’s surface. Mimikyu even makes a friend in one of the Magikarp swimming near the shore; Senjuro watches, holding back a chuckle, as the two simply stare at one another for the longest time before the wild Pokemon splashes some water at the two of them. Mimikyu responds in kind, smacking the water’s edge with its stick tail and getting the fish right back.
The critters decide to race one another back and forth along the shore while Senjuro’s gaze wanders. He notices on the far shore a damaged building and a crew of people tending to it. When a local passes by, he asks them about it, and learning about the damage touches his heart. To some people, it may be just a structure, but right away, Senjuro understands the temple is an important part of the town’s history.
As soon as his Pokemon grow bored, they all head over. There’s a nagging feeling in his mind for a moment that Senjuro can’t be of any help, and that he’d just get in the way. After all, he isn’t strong enough to lift wooden beams, and he certainly doesn’t understand architecture... and for a second, he wants to turn back.
It’s Mimikyu who encourages him. The little fairy tugs gently on his pant leg and points at the volunteers who have already been working hard and whose strength may soon flag. Senjuro remembers he isn’t quite so helpless, and stoops down to pick up his partner as his own plan to help forms in his head.
“You’re right,” he coos as Mimikyu tilts its head up at him. “Thank you. I think we can carry some jugs of water and boxes of food, don’t you? Let’s go fetch that and hurry back.”
