Giyu Tomioka Katana from Demon Slayer

Giyu is a rather tall young man of slender, muscular build and pale complexion, who is almost always seen with a serious and emotionless expression on his face. He has unruly black hair of uneven length that sticks out in tufts around his head, which he wears tied back in a low, messy ponytail at the nape of his neck. His bangs fall in an uneven fringe over his eyes. His eyes are sharp and moderately large, their irises a deep sapphire blue that fades to a lighter blue, and their pupils a bluish-black framed by thin eyebrows.
