Did You Know?
- Tatsuki Fujimoto names most Devils after the fear they embody — the Gun Devil is the fear of guns, the Darkness Devil the fear of darkness. The name literally is the concept.
- Fiends keep their Devil identity but take on casual human nicknames — Power is actually the Blood Fiend, yet everyone just calls her Power. Treating apocalyptic beings like coworkers is part of the series' dark humor.
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in Chainsaw Man — Control (Makima), War (Yoru), Famine, and Death — are Devils named after biblical concepts. Fujimoto uses Western religious naming for the most powerful entities, contrasting with the Japanese names of human characters.
This page lists 58 canonical Chainsaw Man names by group, and explains the naming rules behind the Chainsaw Man name generator, which makes new Hunter, Devil and Fiend names for OCs, fan fiction and tabletop games. Unlike our general anime name generator, it follows Tatsuki Fujimoto's three surface shapes instead of mixing styles.

How the Generator Constrains Its Output
The generator prompt allows only three shapes. Humans get plain Japanese names, family name first. Devils get "[Fear] Devil" with a concrete noun. Fiends get one blunt word.
A default batch of five holds two human names, two Devil names and one Fiend nickname. The prompt bans digits, leetspeak and invented fantasy syllables, and tells the model not to reuse example Devils such as Gun or Falling. Pick a character type in the form to narrow a batch to a single shape.
- Name a Devil after one ordinary fear: Escalator Devil, Mold Devil
- Keep a Fiend name to one easy word, like Power or Beam
- Give a human a common name and let the story do the work
- Add epithets to a human, as in "Aki the Blood Blade"
- Invent fantasy words for a Devil
- Reuse a canonical Devil for your OC unless you want that Devil
Nicknames and Naming Your OC
Most in-series nicknames are Fiend names or Devil concepts used as handles, such as Power, Beam and Galgali in the table above. For an OC, pick a type first. A Hunter gets a plain two-part Japanese name, and a Fiend gets one word.
A Devil's name is the fear itself, so choose a fear before you choose a word. Our guides on Devil naming and character name styles go deeper. For another series with a comparable tone, try the One Punch Man name generator.

Common Questions
What is a good nickname for a Chainsaw Man character?
The series uses short, blunt names for Fiends, such as Power (the Blood Fiend) and Beam (the Shark Fiend). Pick one plain word that works as a casual greeting, or use a fear as the name, like Ghost or Fire.
How do I make a Chainsaw Man Devil name?
Choose one fear and add "Devil", as in Bat Devil or Typhoon Devil. Pick the Devil option under Character Type in the generator and it follows that pattern and avoids reusing the example Devils in its prompt.
Can I use these names for a Chainsaw Man OC?
Names in the tables belong to existing characters, so an OC usually needs its own. Use the generator for new names, or borrow only the shape: a common Japanese name for a human, a single fear for a Devil.
Updated November 2026: replaced the essay with 58 sourced canonical names in four tables, added generator rules, a do/don't list and FAQs.
