Tanjirou Kamado (竈門 炭治郎)
Tanjirou Kamado is the main protagonist of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. A kind-hearted young man, Tanjirou becomes a Demon Slayer after his family is slaughtered by demons, and his sister Nezuko is turned into a demon herself. His goal is to find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human and avenge his family by defeating Muzan Kibutsuji, the demon responsible for his family’s massacre. Throughout the series, Tanjirou is known for his unwavering determination, empathy for others, and his incredible sense of smell, which helps him track demons and detect threats in battle.
Appearance
Tanjirou has a distinctive appearance, with short black hair that fades into a dark burgundy at the tips and large, expressive dark red eyes. He has a scar on his forehead, which later evolves into a Demon Slayer Mark, a feature that enhances his physical abilities. His usual outfit consists of the standard Demon Slayer Corps uniform, a black jacket with a patterned checkered haori, which was passed down from his father. Tanjirou's gentle face and compassionate expressions often contrast with his fierce determination in battle.
Personality
Tanjirou is incredibly compassionate and caring, with a strong sense of justice and empathy, even towards demons who were once human. His kindness is one of his defining traits, often leading him to show mercy to defeated demons, offering them comfort in their final moments. However, he is also deeply driven by his mission to protect his sister Nezuko and eradicate demons, especially Muzan Kibutsuji.
Despite the horrors he faces, Tanjirou never loses his sense of humanity, and his determination to help others is unshakeable. He forms close bonds with his fellow Demon Slayers, particularly Zenitsu Agatsuma and Inosuke Hashibira, and shows deep respect for his mentors and Hashira. His strong moral compass often sets him apart as a hero who values life, even in a world filled with death and suffering.
Abilities & Powers

[2] Sun Breathing (日の呼吸, Hi no Kokyū): Also known as Hinokami Kagura, Sun Breathing is an ancient and powerful technique passed down in the Kamado family. Tanjirou discovers this breathing style later in the series, and it becomes his primary fighting method. Sun Breathing techniques are extremely effective against demons, especially powerful ones. [3] Superhuman Smell: Tanjirou has an extraordinary sense of smell, which allows him to detect scents from great distances and track demons. He can also "smell" emotions like fear and hostility, which gives him an advantage in battle. [4] Demon Slayer Mark: Tanjirou's Demon Slayer Mark appears on his forehead and grants him enhanced physical abilities, including increased strength, speed, and reflexes, allowing him to fight stronger demons.
