When he was only a teenager, Denji's father died, leaving an enormous amount of debt for his son to pay off to a criminal syndicate, Yakuza. He turned to Pochia, a chainsaw devil and his pet, who paid him money to kill devils.

However, Denji died at the hands of the Yakuza, once again looking as though it was all over for him. But, he was brought back to life by his pet, which merged with him and gave him his devil powers by proxy.

Denji then works for the Public Safety Bureau, slaying devils under the instruction of the bureau's Makima, with whom he is infatuated. She almost treats him as her pet, with Denji completely wrapped around her finger.

“Nazis, World War II, Arnolon Syndrome, Zoa, Aids, The Eruption of Mt. Hio, Nuclear Weapons. They existed to the past, a time where their names were feared just as much as the devils bearing them. But now the only one who can remember those name is me. And that’s because they were all eaten by the Chainsaw Man. Ranging from the Human’s Sixth Sense, to the Star, whose light breaks children’s minds to the four fates besides death at the end of life, all of these have disappeared and can no longer be remembered. But I can still remember their devils, and the image of Chainsaw Man fighting them.” — Makima
