Hiroshi Shinazugawa is one of the younger brothers of Sanemi and Genya Shinazugawa. A gentle child of the large Shinazugawa family, he is among the siblings killed in a single night when their grieving mother is turned into a demon.
For his age Hiroshi stands at a fairly typical height, with light skin and big, round blue eyes. The sides of his head are shaved, leaving only a small tuft on top shaped into a short mohawk.
He strongly resembles his brother Genya and their mother, and he is usually seen in a navy blue kimono with grey trousers.
Like his siblings, Hiroshi is a warm and caring child. When his mother fails to return home one night, he worries for her safety and insists on staying awake until she arrives, then hurries to greet her at the door.
He shows the same affection toward his brothers, calling out happily to Genya when he wakes to find him nearby.
Hiroshi is born to Kyogo and Shizu Shinazugawa as one of seven children, the eldest two being Sanemi and Genya. Their father is brutally abusive, and Hiroshi is often shielded from his rages by their mother. Kyogo later dies violently after being stabbed in a feud.
One night their mother is unusually late returning home. While Sanemi goes out searching and Genya stays to watch the younger children, a knock comes at the door. Genya cautions them that whoever stands beyond the door might not be their mother at all, but the door is forced open anyway. She has been transformed into a demon, and she kills Hiroshi and his siblings at once. Years later, after Muzan's defeat, Sanemi glimpses Hiroshi among their family in the afterlife. The events are shown in Chapter 115 and Episode 50.

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle earned $778 million globally and nearly 40 billion yen in Japan, but it still couldn't top Mugen Train's domestic record. Here's why that barely matters....

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
