Tanjiro Kamado – The Iron-Headed Big Brother

Tanjiro isn't just tough on the inside; he's tough on the outside too. His famous brutal headbutts are no joke; he got his iron forehead from his mother, who once used her head to stop a charging boar. He can track demons, read emotions, and sense danger before anyone else because he has an incredibly sharp sense of smell.

Tanjiro is surprisingly nice when he's not fighting. He writes nice letters to friends, mentors, and other slayers. Tanjiro is a warrior with the heart of a gentle big brother, so even characters who seem cold or distant often get his handwritten updates.

A Tanjiro-themed resin lamp will help you get that mix of toughness and kindness in your room. is perfect – imagine his determined pose glowing softly, reminding you to stay kind and persistent every time you turn on the light.

Nezuko Kamado – The Silent Demon with Playful Chaos

Nezuko doesn't talk much, but her personality is very loud in a cute way. You have to wonder if she has supernatural luck on top of her demon powers because she almost always beats Tanjiro at rock-paper-scissors. Before she changed, she wore her hair in ribbons, but after she became a demon, she couldn't style it anymore, and Tanjiro wasn't good enough to help.

One of the funniest things about her is what she said when she was a kid when someone asked her, "What's your ideal man?" Nezuko just said, "Like a rook." Not a prince, not a hero, but a chess piece. It's one of those strange lines that makes her seem both innocent and unpredictable at the same time.

A Nezuko resin lamp that captures her small, fierce, and cute form inside glowing resin is a must-have for any Demon Slayer shelf. It's cute enough for a cozy bedroom but strong enough to stand out in an anime collector's display.

Zenitsu Agatsuma – Lightning, Panic and Secret Genius

Zenitsu didn't choose to have yellow hair; it turned that color after he was hit by lightning while training. He had black hair at first, but the Thunder Breathing style made him look the most dramatic. He also has an overbite that doesn't show up in the anime art very often, but it's a joke in extra panels in the manga.

But his real superpower is that he can hear things really well. Zenitsu can hear even the smallest sounds, like demons moving around or a person's voice shaking with emotion. And of course, there's his famous "sleep mode." The coward disappears as soon as he passes out, leaving behind a terrifyingly skilled swordsman who can kill demons in the blink of an eye.

A Zenitsu resin lamp with lightning effects inside the resin looks great as a glowing accent piece on a gaming desk or streaming setup for fans who can relate to his anxiety but love his thunder god moments.

Inosuke Hashibira – The Boar-Headed Wildcard

Inosuke grew up in the mountains with wild boars, so he sees the world in his own wild way. Inosuke keeps trying to eat his poor Kasugai crow, so it hardly ever shows up. After so many tries, the crow basically lives in fear and hides whenever it can. That one thing tells you everything you need to know about his chaotic energy.

He did learn how to speak, which is surprising, thanks to a kind old man he visited as a child who patiently taught him. In battle, Inosuke's secret is that he is very sensitive to touch. He can feel even the smallest changes in air pressure and vibration, which lets him find enemies in ways that other slayers can't.

A mask of a boar The Inosuke resin lamp instantly gives your room a wild, unpredictable vibe. It's the perfect piece for fans of loud, wild characters and bold anime decor.

Giyu Tomioka – The Water Hashira Who Secretly Loves Comfort Food

People say that Giyu is stoic, quiet, and very awkward in social situations. But there's a surprisingly soft detail: his favorite dish is a simple simmered salmon with daikon, which is a home-style comfort food that is said to make him smile. That picture is surprisingly nice for someone who is always teased for having "no friends."

Giyu is not easy to deal with on the battlefield. He became so good at Water Breathing that he created a whole new form called the Eleventh Form: Dead Calm. In this form, his sword stills the storm around him with one quiet, deadly motion. It looks calm, but it has a lot of power.

For minimalist anime setups and fans who like calm, composed characters with hidden depth, a Giyu resin lamp with cool blue tones and water-like layering in the resin is perfect.

Shinobu Kocho – Butterfly Smile, Poisonous Sting

Shinobu is the smallest and weakest of the Hashira, but her fighting style is even more impressive because of that. She couldn't kill demons by cutting off their heads with her bare hands, so she turned her sword into a needle-like weapon filled with wisteria poison and made Insect Breathing, a style based on speed, accuracy, and deadly poisons.

She is also one of the fastest Hashira, and behind her sweet smile is a dark, funny sense of humor. Shinobu likes to tell ghost stories and tease people like Zenitsu with creepy stories when she's not busy. This is a great match for her deceptively sweet look.


A Shinobu resin lamp with purple tones, butterfly patterns, and sparkling layers looks great on a bedside table. It adds a touch of danger and elegance to your anime-inspired lighting.

Kyojuro Rengoku – Flame Hashira, Flaming Appetite

His hair is flame-colored, and his energy is just as bright. He loves food, especially sweet potato miso soup, and he really gets excited about every tasty bite. His battle cry "UMAIII!" over bento boxes isn't just for show; it's 100% Rengoku.

He is even more dedicated as a Hashira. Rengoku's answer to a demon who attacked with a deadly flute sound was brutal: he burst his own eardrums during the fight so the flute wouldn't bother him anymore. Rengoku is at his best when he gives up his hearing in the middle of a fight to protect others.

A Rengoku resin lamp with fiery gradients and moving sculptures inside the resin is a great centerpiece for any Demon Slayer display. It's perfect for fans who want their room to feel as warm and brave as he did.

Mitsuri Kanroji – Love Hashira Powered by Mochi

Mitsuri looks soft and delicate, but her body is full of muscle. To keep her energy up, she has to eat enough for more than one sumo wrestler. Her appetite is famous, which is very different from how shy and shy she is.

Her hair is one of the strangest things about her: it wasn't always pink and green. When she was a kid, she ate a lot of sakura mochi every day, and over time, her hair color changed to match her favorite food. Her fighting style, the Breath of Love, is a mix of Flame Breathing and her own style that works well with her whip-like sword.

A Mitsuri resin lamp with pastel colors and heart-shaped highlights is a dreamy piece of anime decor that instantly makes any room feel softer and brighter.

Muichiro Tokito – Misty Airhead, Brutal Prodigy

Don't be fooled by Muichiro's blank stare; he often seems to be lost in his thoughts. At just 14 years old, he became a Hashira only two months after getting a sword. Other slayers with years of experience couldn't match his natural skill.

The word "nothingness" is in his name, which fits his dreamy, scattered personality until something makes him pay attention. When that happens, the Mist Hashira gets very serious and moves through enemies like fog. He even takes down Upper Rank demons that would kill most swordsmen.

A Muichiro resin lamp with soft gradients, cloudy layers, and pale blues or greens gives off a calm, misty vibe. It looks great next to manga volumes or figure displays.

Sanemi Shinazugawa – Wind, Scars and a Secret Sweet Tooth

At first glance, Sanemi looks like a bunch of sharp edges: scars, yelling, and reckless attacks. But under all that anger, he is strangely soft in some ways. Ohagi, traditional sweet rice dumplings covered in red bean paste, are his favorite snack. People joke that he smells like tea and sweets all the time because he loves them so much.

He also keeps rhinoceros beetles as pets, which is a weirdly cute hobby for the grumpiest Hashira. On top of that, demons find his blood very rare and intoxicating, and he isn't afraid to use it as a weapon by carelessly taunting demons with his own wounds.

Collectors who like tough, battle-hardened characters but also like the hidden softness underneath will love this Sanemi resin lamp. It has sharp, wind-like shapes and swirling green tones.

Gyomei Himejima – Stone Giant with a Gentle Soul

Gyomei is the strongest Hashira in terms of strength. He has a huge spiked flail and axe, but he lost his sight as a child because of an illness, not a fight. Before he joined the Demon Slayer Corps, he ran an orphanage and took care of abandoned kids. This shows how kind he is.

Even though he is very powerful, Gyomei is often shown crying while he prays. He feels things deeply, like when he loses someone and prays for the souls of both people and demons. He is unforgettable because he has both incredible strength and incredible empathy.

A tall Gyomei resin lamp with a solid, stone-like look and warm, calming light is a great centerpiece for any collection. It stands for safety and quiet strength.

Akaza – Tragic Upper Rank Three Who Loves Fighting the Strong

Akaza is one of the scariest Upper Rank demons, but his love of fighting comes from a very human past. He was once a desperate street fighter who protected the weak, only to become a demon seeking endless strength after losing everyone he loved.

What makes Akaza such a compelling villain to feature in your collection?

  • Deadly Combat Skills: His Blood Demon Art, "Destructive Death," and his unique "Compass" technique turn every battle into a precise, shockwave-filled spectacle.
  • A Twisted Sense of Honor: Unlike other demons, he respects brave warriors and hates cowards. This warrior code is exactly why his duel with Rengoku is one of the most emotional moments in the series.
  • Striking Visual Design: With ice-blue hair and hypnotic pink body markings (remnants of his criminal tattoos), his look symbolizes how grief can change a person beyond recognition.

An Akaza resin lamp is a great statement piece for collectors who appreciate complex villains. Picture his famous pose frozen in clear resin, with layered colors mimicking his tattoos, glowing in the dark like a beautiful, haunting relic from the Mugen Train battle.

Turn Demon Slayer Lore into Glowing Resin Art

Every Demon Slayer character has a strange, funny, or sad story behind their fights. For example, Tanjiro's headbutt of justice, Mitsuri's mochi-powered hair, and Tengen's hot spring adventures. It's much more meaningful to rewatch the anime and organize your collection when you know these things.

A collection of Demon Slayer resin lamps is one of the most eye-catching ways to surround yourself with anime art. You can freeze your favorite scenes and characters in time with high-quality, handmade resin pieces, and then light them up with a soft glow that changes the look of your desk, bedroom, or display shelf.
