However, his actions are driven by a genuine fear that his wives, who previously infiltrated the district, might be in danger. When he sets out to investigate the Entertainment District, Tengen tries to recruit Aoi Kanzaki despite her being obviously terrified at the prospect of heading into the field, and he only changes his mind when Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke demand to take her place. That said, he does have generally good intentions, even if his methods tend to be rather aggressive. Tengen's personality is a bit all over the place, courtesy of his harsh childhood and his attempts to move away from his father's teachings. Tricked by his parent into killing a few of his siblings, Tengen eventually left the nest to try and carve out a path for himself. Born into a ninja clan and trained by his cruel father, Tengen was thought to only ever seek self-fulfillment, regardless of the cost to anyone else.
