As a human Hantengu was known to have committed many heinous crimes. He stole from numerous innocent people and murdered them in various towns and cities, all the while claiming that he was innocent. He would say that he didn't commit the crimes: his "Hands" were solely to blame for his actions, thus hinting that he was also mentally unstable and delusional due to his claims.

Eventually, he was captured by a high-ranked law official magistrate and sentenced to death by decapitation, despite his outrageous claims of innocence that were then silenced by threatening to cut off his "sinful" hands instead. While imprisoned and awaiting his execution, he was approached by Muzan Kibutsuji who offered to "help" him after taking pity on his situation. Muzan proceeded to give him some of his blood, transforming him into a Demon. After his transformation, he escaped his prison and silenced the magistrate who condemned him to death. With his dying breath, the magistrate told him that killing him didn't matter because eventually his past sins and actions will see him punished in the future no matter what he did.
