Zenitsu Agatsuma
Zenitsu Agatsuma from Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer) is another demon slayer and companion of the main character Tanjiro Kamado and is one of the main protagonists of the anime series.
Zenitsu Zenitsu has a cowardly personality and is often very negative about himself, for example stating that he will have a short life due to the dangers of being a Demon Slayer. A character who has little self-confidence to the point of feeling useless, but who actually has strength and is capable of eliminating demons, which surprises even himself. Even though Zenitsu is a character who shows a lot of weakness, he has great motivations to live up to the expectations others have of him and works his hardest when necessary, his cowardly and hesitant nature disappears whenever he finds himself in crucial situations.
