Personality

Tanjiro is kind by nature and has been described by others as having very soft eyes. He is very determined and will not give up once he has a goal to achieve; An example is finding a cure for Nezuko. Although he is relatively strong on his own, he is not opposed to asking others for help when he needs it. He is very protective of his friends and even more so of his younger sister. His most important attribute is his ability to empathize with anyone, even demons. This often gives him hesitation when killing demons. However, this trait could also cause some Daemons to redeem themselves moments before death, although this rarely occurs. However, Tanjiro has a dark side of his personality which he keeps repressed, but when his tolerance limit is exceeded he is blinded by his anger and frustration, becoming an aggressive and ruthless person towards his adversaries, even going so far as to not forgive and hating demons like Akaza and Muzan who delight in cold-bloodedly murdering innocents simply to make their victims suffer. Tanjiro also considers himself an honorable person, being unable to lie to anyone without twisting his face, although he is terrible at lying since, when he was undercover as a courtesan, the oiran reveals to him that from the beginning he knew that it was in He was actually a man but he didn't say anything because he was curious and wanted to know why he pretended to be a woman. Because of the years of service and the amount of experience he faced, he became more calculating and strict in his decision. His courage to protect the weak committed him to face his enemy with respect and dignity, whether they be good or evil demons.

Breath of the Sun

Sun Breath (日ひの呼こ吸きゅう, Hi no Kokyū?) or also known as Fire God Dance (ヒノカミ神楽かぐら, Hinokami Kagura?, lit. Dance of the Fire God) is a style of swordsmanship that was used by the first Demon Slayer to use a breath, Yorīchi Tsugikuni, and serves as the basis for other derived breath styles. The Fire God Dance is a breathing known and taught only by the members of the Kamado Family. This breathing is passed down from generation to generation along with the Hanafuda earrings. The Kamado family performs a ceremony every year to worship the Fire God to avoid possible misfortunes, the dance consists of 12 segments from dusk to dawn[1]. However, there is an unknown thirteenth posture that was later used by Tanjiro Kamado to finish off Muzan Kibutsuji[2]. Shinjuro Rengoku recognized the Fire God's Dance as Sun Breathing.[3] Later, it was confirmed that the two styles were the same. In the end, this breath branched into Flame Breathing, Water Breathing, Wind Breathing, Rock Breathing, and Lightning Breathing, which later branched into other breathing styles.[4] Before Kokushibo died, he mentioned that all the users of Sun Breath were killed by him and Muzan Kibutsuji. Tanjiro was unsure of the true nature of this breathing until he accessed the memories of his ancestor, Sumiyoshi, during the final fight against Muzan. His ancestor's wife, Suyako, requested to see the Sun Breath from Yorīchi Tsugikuni, who agreed. Sumiyoshi memorized the movements, allowing Tanjiro to observe the breathing in detail.[5] He described it as "so elegant that it takes your breath away."
