Since its debut in 2022, Chainsaw Man has risen to prominence as a brutal, twisted, and subversive shonen anime series that holds absolutely nothing sacred. Its main cast is made up of rough antiheroes who make their own rules, but its most notable characters are its protagonist, Denji, and his crude friend, Power. Other Chainsaw Man characters also put wacky twists on familiar archetypes for supporting characters, such as the timid devil hunter Kobeni Higashiyama.
