Giotto is a calm and composed leader with a strong sense of justice and compassion. He firmly believes in protecting the weak and always strives to do what is right for the people of his hometown. Despite the Vongola Famiglia rising to power beyond its original purpose, Giotto never allowed his influence to corrupt him. His priority remained the safety of the innocent rather than ruling over them, staying true to his ideals until the very end.

As a leader, Giotto deeply values friendship and loyalty, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to his Famiglia and comrades. He cherishes the safety and happiness of local citizens and those close to him, including Cozzato and his Family, while strongly disliking any harm inflicted upon the weak. His charismatic nature allowed him to welcome people from all walks of life into his vigilante group, fostering a diverse and dedicated following. Reborn once stated that Giotto was the kind of person who accepted anyone into the Vongola Famiglia, regardless of their background, showing his inclusive and understanding nature.

Despite experiencing betrayal, Giotto remains forgiving and never harbors grudges. Even after Demon Spade turned against him, Giotto continued to acknowledge him as one of his Guardians, believing in the bond they once shared. This unwavering belief in the strength of relationships and mutual trust is a defining aspect of his character.

However, Giotto is not without his flaws. His pacifistic tendencies sometimes made him naïve, particularly when it came to matters of war and conflict. A notable example of this was his decision to disband Vongola’s military force in an attempt to prevent the Famiglia from fighting for self-interest. While his intentions were noble, he failed to fully consider the consequences of this action, leaving the Vongola vulnerable to retaliation, which ultimately resulted in the death of one of his members, Elena.

Giotto shares many similarities with Tsunayoshi Sawada, particularly in his kind and selfless nature. Much like Tsuna, he believed that a person who was not willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their friends did not deserve to be Vongola Boss. In both appearance and personality, Giotto serves as a reflection of Tsuna, embodying the core ideals of what it means to be the leader of the Vongola Famiglia.

Giotto is a young man of average height with spiky blond hair and sharp orange eyes, bearing a strong resemblance to his descendant, Tsunayoshi Sawada. His distinctive features, combined with his confident demeanor, give him an imposing yet charismatic presence as the Vongola Primo.

His attire consists of a black pinstripe suit, a white undershirt, and a black tie, reflecting his refined yet authoritative status as the founder of the Vongola Famiglia. Over his suit, he wears a black cloak with an upturned collar, adorned with red tassels and intricately designed cloak clasps, emphasizing his noble and dignified appearance. As a skilled fighter, he also wears his signature I-Gloves, which serve as a crucial part of his battle style.

In most of his appearances, Giotto is seen in Hyper Dying Will Mode, a state that enhances his strength and abilities, further solidifying his image as a legendary and powerful leader of the Vongola Famiglia.

As the founder and first boss of the Vongola Famiglia, Giotto was an exceptionally powerful fighter, widely regarded as the strongest Vongola Boss in history. He possessed extraordinary combat skills, heightened reflexes, and an innate ability known as Vongola Hyper Intuition, which allowed him to predict and evade attacks with near-perfect accuracy. Notably, he was the only known Vongola Boss capable of sealing away one’s Hyper Intuition.

Giotto was most often seen in Hyper Dying Will Mode, a state that significantly enhanced his speed, strength, and flame-based abilities. His reflexes were sharp enough to dodge a bullet, further demonstrating his heightened awareness and agility.
