Personality
Senji is a young man defined by his stable and calm mindset, and his happily nonchalant attitude. He acts mature and somewhat serious in almost every situation but he says things that are in a comical light as he actually has a sense of humor and is very laid-back and carefree despite what his physical appearance and actions lead people to think. He is very confident though no way near the plane of arrogance and he is also highly persistent and ambitious, not willing to quit until he reaches his goal(s), even if it repeatedly puts him in situations where his life is at stake. A major contradiction in his personality is him being both optimistic and pessimistic, as he expects and prepares for the worst but looks forward to the best. His pessimism has shown to be a pro instead of a con as it leads him to state of paranoia of sorts and causes him analyze everything to the greatest extent possible in order to survive or pass through the situation he has been placed into.

He is a confident, laid-back, carefree and levelheaded individual, evident in his general attitude, and he is rarely seen without a small somewhat devilish grin on his face. He has a go with the flow type of attitude due to being laid-back and so he will rarely become stressed or panic. He will become very serious when the situation calls for it especially when he needs to protect people he cares for or it enables his personal vendettage against Nagatō Sakanoue. His devotion to his duties and friends inspire all who around him, and, as a result, he easily becomes well-liked by the people he meets throughout his adventures. He is well-known for his unbeatable determination and unbelievable drive.

He has shown to be very caring and passionate towards other people, and is capable of offering his help to the majority people, shown when he helped a town figure out why their river stopped flowing and helped to fix it. Besides being passionate Senji is a very loyal friend, and most likely will lose his temper if they are harmed in anyway. He is willing to go through drastic means to avenge and/or defend those dear to him, even if it means putting his own life on the line, a fact that is repeatedly shown as he ventures to avenge his parent's death.

Senji has a reputation for having a reckless streak though this recklessness often manifest itself as selflessness in which he to help or save others, and also habit of not backing away from a fight. He has shown to rush into things and leaves it to fate to decide the details, this habit seems to stem from his laid-back side that will go with the flow. He seems to have a not great but still fairly firm belief in fate and destiny but he will often contradict himself sometimes, shown when denied the fact that it was destiny that brought him and the love-sick Minako Shizuoka together. Despite being a laid-back person, Senji loves adventure and the glorious art of combat, and is incapable of stepping back from a challenge no matter how dangerous or difficult it maybe. This part of his natures oftentimes causes him not to avoid taking 'the easy way out'. Despite having a great sense of caution, he will continue as his sense of caution only makes the situation more thrilling. He has been known to smile in the faces of both danger and death. When it comes to actual combat, Senji's confidence comes shine, making smart-mouth comments and slightly arrogant exclaims. Though this is actually just a well-hidden attempt to disrupt his opponent's combative mindset. He also has a habit of having joyful pep to his step whenever he combats a strong opponent due wanting a challenge that will make him stronger at the end of it. The habit seems anger both his friends and foe alike, believing that he isn't taking it seriously.

He is cunning and capable of taking several steps ahead of those around him or even his opponent, giving him remarkable talent for making those people act exactly as he wishes despite appearing not to have had a hand in their decisions, shown when he manipulated several Shinigami soldiers to cause a small riot. He is particularly observant, taking into consideration even the smallest details of his surroundings in order to better understand and deal with challenges.

When angered and engulfed by the power of revenge a side of Senji that is hidden underneath his carefree and laid-back personality is revealed. This side of Senji that he commonly hides is dark and shrewd in nature. It shown that this side of him is has a nearly unquenchable thirst for blood and destruction of the thing that has greatly angered him or he is seeking revenge for. He is also able to kill in completely cold blood as his killing intent reaches a pinnacle point. It is noted by many who have seen this dark Senji that this side of him is like primal beast that isn't just blindly following its impulsive instincts but embracing and taking them to a greater extent than they were meant to be. A example of this and his recklessness is when he saw the likes of Nagatō Sakanoue during his first assault on the Oniwabanshū, and embraced his impulses and began to rush towards him along with annihilating all who opposed him in his path. This inevitably lead to him be captured, experimented on and left to die as he was thought to be a failed experiment. This side of his personality is caused by a harboring rage and despair that was left by his traumatizing childhood.

Senji is a extremely skilled swordsman who can fights captain-level combatants on a even level. His mastery of swordsmanship stems from his natural affinity for it and the mind-straining thought that most people seem to forsake is the fact he was vigorously trained by Musashi Tsukahara, one of the five Kensei and a just powerful man in general.

Despite this, he is shown highly adept in combining his hand-to-hand skills with his swordsmanship. While fighting, Senji's preferred style of swordplay combines his keen intellect with raw power and improvisational adaption to his surroundings, changing situation and his own opponents movements and style. His offensive style consist of swift and aggressive yet planned and precise movements strikes to the opponent's body from various angles to confuse and keep his opponent on their toes. His movements are generally very acrobatic and fierce in nature. When he is put on the defensive he will constantly analyze his opponent's movements and determine his next move in that same second so he can regain his offensive stance in the battle as soon as possible. A factor that seems to influence his style of swordsmanship is the ever-present thought of survival, as he will quickly forsake his style if his Hollow instincts calls for it and his reflexes involuntarily make him perform any type of action he did not plan to do.
