Denji is the main protagonist of Chainsaw Man.

He was voiced by Kikunosuke Toya in Japanese and by Ryan Colt Levy in the English dub.

What Makes Him a Shonen Hero?[]

  • Heroic/Honorable: While he initially does it for mostly selfish and superficial reasons, Denji has protected Tokyo from several devils, and as the series progresses, becomes more mature and selfless.
  • Courageous/Reckless: Denji doesn't usually think before acting, as a result he often just jumps head first into danger .
  • Energetic: Denji is very loud and abrasive, although as the story progresses this slowly dies down. In addition, he is very hotblooded, a quality he doesn't lose even after gaining his maturity.
  • Stubborn: Denji refuses to listen to Aki when he tells him to leave the Security Bureau.
  • Pursues a Big-End Goal: Denji's goal is to raise the popularity of the Chainsaw Man so he can finally get laid. He also has the goal of wanting to give Nayuta a normal childhood he couldn't have.
  • Hard-Working: Denji works hard to keep his job so he can keep living a "normal life" and also to provide a normal childhood to Nayuta.
  • Unintelligent: Tragically, Denji never had any sort of access to education during his childhood, as a result he grew up as a very uneducated individual that lacks basic manners and is almost illiterate.
  • Possesses Plot Armor: Thanks to being immortal, Denji is able to survive any fatal injury. He also gets revived by Pochita/The Chainsaw Devil at the beginning of the story, allowing him to become Chainsaw Man.
  • Spiky Hair: Denji has rather spiky hair, although it's likely due to him not treating his hair well.
  • Short-Tempered: Denji can easily go berserk pretty quickly when frustrated.
  • Has Rivals/Mentors: He initially has a brief rivalry with Aki upon joining the Security Bureau (which completely dies down after both become friends), and later has a much more straightforward one with the Katana Man. Denji was also trained to become a better fighter by Kishibe.
  • Big Eater: Denji really enjoys eating thanks to not having much food to eat while growing up, and will usually eat everything that is edible with pretty much no complaints.
  • Has an Idol: Denji initially worships Makima, but grows out of it after learning her true colours.
  • Mischievous: He enjoys pranking Aki during his free time.
  • Rebellious: After his experiences with Makima, Denji becomes a lot more reluctant when it comes to receiving orders, and typically hates being told what to do by men.
  • Tragic Past: Denji's father was an abusive alcoholic with a huge debt to the Yakuza, and after his death, he ended up inheriting his debt, as a result he grew up poor with no parental figure, never went to school and surrounded by the Yakuza.
  • Is a Blood Knight: Denji can be downright bloodthirsty when killing devils, with his fight with the Eternity Devil being the most notable example.
