Denji

Denji (デンジ, Denji) is the protagonist of Chainsaw Man.

As a young boy, he inherits his father's debts from the Yakuza. After meeting Pochita, he becomes a Devil Hunter for the Yakuza in attempt to clear his debt. After being betrayed by the Yakuza, which were under the control of a Devil he died and Pochita became his heart. He now has the ability to become a Chainsaw Devil by pulling the cord on his chest. After meeting Makima, he became a Public Safety Devil Hunter.

Appearance
Denji is a young man with blond, scruffy hair. He has sharp yellowish-brown eyes with bags underneath and sharp teeth to match. He is a bit scrawny with protruding ribs due to malnutrition. After Denji forms a contract with Pochita a chainsaw cord forms in the middle of his chest and he regains the body parts that he lost. He mostly is seen wearing his standard white t-shirt, tie and slacks.

Personality
While Denji seems like a cocky male, he is truly dumb. His mother passed away at a young age and he himself had to be homeschooled until sadly his father died. The debt his father had dropped onto his shoulders lead him to miss out on school since he focused mainly on killing demons and earning money. HIs personality comes off rude and harsh yet still a childish way. He doesn't know how to be clever or wise but he knows how to lighten the mood.
