Train engineer is a supporting character in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. He is a civilian recruited by Enmu to be the conductor of his Mugen train.

Appearance
He wears a black train staff uniform with gold buttons and a black cap. His face is pale and he has a gaunt look, with eyes that looks like he hadn't slept for a very long time.

Mugen Train Arc
After the demon slayers awaken and battle Enmu, Tanjiro and Inosuke cut away the locomotive's roof and they see a frightened train engineer who tells them to get away. While the two demon slayers fight the tentacles, the conductor stands by and watches. At one point, Tanjiro jumped to save the engineer from being hit by the tentacles. When Tanjiro and Inosuke start slashing Enmu's Blood Demon Art's eyes, the engineer suddenly appears, armed with an awl that was made using Enmu's bones and teeth, and attempts to stab Inosuke. He prevents the demon slayers from killing Enmu because he doesn't want them to get in the way of his dreams. Tanjiro jumps in and takes the blow to his stomach. He knocks the conductor unconscious but Inosuke angrily tells him to leave him to die. Tanjiro refuses to do so.

When Tanjiro manages to cut off Enmu's head, all three men are sent flying by a blow from Enmu's body exploding and Tanjiro realizes that if he dies the train engineer will become a murderer. After Inosuke finds Tanjiro in the rubble, Tanjiro asks about the train engineer's fate and Inosuke informs him that the train engineer got his legs stuck and couldn't move. His legs were shattered and he can't walk anymore. Tanjiro feels the engineer already atoned for his sin and requests Inosuke to help him.
