Zenitsu has low self-esteem but still wanted to live up to the expectations others set up for him, but was constantly afraid and would always cry and run away. He claims he wants to live a modest life where he can be useful to someone.

History
When Zenitsu was a young boy, he was financially supported by a woman who owned a lot of debt. She had eloped with Zenitsu, which got him into troubled and it was 'Gramps',the former Thunder Pillar, who saved him from the trouble.

Gramps decided to train Zenitsu along with his eldest disciple, Kaigaku. On one of the days during his training, Zenitsu climbed up a tree due to the fact that he felt that he was disappointing Gramps, when suddenly, a stroke of lightning hit him, causing his hair to turn blonde.

Zenitsu and Kaigaku hated each other, however, Zenitsu respected Kaigaku and treasured him. Zenitsu eventually wished to fight alongside Kaigaku one day and thus he created a new form, '' 'Breath of thunder, Flaming Thunder God'. ''

Natural Abilities
Enhanced Sense of Hearing: Zenitsu has a heightened sense of hearing, allowing him to detect danger from even the faintest of sounds. He could also hear the inner thoughts of people if he uses the sense of hearing to its fullest ability.

Unconscious Combat: Zenitsu becomes stronger when he sleeps. When his life is in danger, the fear he experiences exceeds his own limits making him fall unconscious. When Zenitsu is asleep he is able to perform his swordsmanship at a high level purely based on instinct alone. However, as he continues to improve his skills and courage, he begins to depend on this ability less and less.

Breath of Thunder Style ({{Ruby|雷|かみなり}}の{{Ruby|呼|こ}}{{Ruby|吸|きゅう}})
Taught to Zenitsu by a former Pillar, Shihan. This technique increases the user's strength and agility to equal a demon's. There are a total of six styles that can be used with the Breath of Thunder, but Zenitsu was so untalented that he was only able to learn the first of the six styles, which is said to be the simplest. Later on, he was able to create a seventh style when confronting his former senior.
 * First Style: Thunder Clap Flash (ノ) - The user dashes forward and slashes at their opponent with incredible speed. Zenitsu has honed this ability to the extent of being able to repeat the dash multiple times in quick succession. He usually goes for Six Fold (six dashes), but has been able to dash eight times within one use of the technique.
 * God Speed - Zenitsu is able to utilize this technique to further augment the speed of his Thunder Clap Flash. He is only able to use this ability twice a day. After the second time, his legs become useless.


 * Seventh Style: Flaming Thunder God (Shichi no kata: Honoikazuchi no kami) This is the seventh form that Zenitsu created himself. The user creates a dragon-like creature emitting fire and thunder. This form alongside God Speed allows Zenitsu to move extremely fast, allowing him to defeat upper moon six, Kaigaku. Before Kaigaku died, Zenitsu confessed that this form was unique to himself and that he had created it in hopes of fighting alongside Kaigaku as an equal.
