Personality

Tanjiro is very kind by nature. "A man with kind eyes" is how he is described. Very determined and goal-oriented. Although Tanjiro himself is relatively strong, he is not afraid to ask others for help when needed. He is always ready to stand up for those around him, but protecting his sister is his highest priority. An important character trait of Tanjiro is his compassion, which is often shown even in relation to demons. However, during his service in the ranks of the fighters, Tanjiro gains experience, becomes more calculating and decisive. Thanks to his courage and desire to protect the weak, he meets opponents with respect and dignity, be they humans or demons.

history

Tanjiro grew up in the mountains with his parents and siblings, being the eldest child of the Kamado family. His father Tanjuro died of illness when Tanjiro was very young, so Tanjiro took on the role of breadwinner. He loved his family very much and took care of them as best he could. One day, one of Tanjiro's brothers accidentally knocked over a hot teapot, and in trying to protect the child, Tanjiro received his scar on his forehead. Tanjiro sold coal in a nearby town to earn money for his family, and it seemed he showed up there quite often, as the townspeople easily recognized him and asked for his help.

Relationship

Nezuko Komado is Tanjiro's younger sister and the only one of his family members left alive. Tanjiro is calm and polite, but can quickly become angry and attack anyone who hurts Nezuko. He takes protecting his sister very seriously, but this does not stop him from asking Nezuko for help against strong opponents that he cannot defeat on his own. Giyu Tomioka - Tanjiro first meets Giyu when he wants to kill Nezuko, who has already turned into a demon. Giyu sees Tanjiro's determination, so he tells him how to find Urokodaki, who will help Tanjiro on his path to becoming a demon slayer. At first, Tanjiro does not trust Giyu, but over time he comes to respect him, as they are both Urokodaki's students and both use Water Breathing. Later on, Giyu often protects Tanjiro. Zenitsu Agatsuma - The first time they meet after passing the final selection, Agatsuma appears to Tanjiro very scared, Zenitsu is hysterical because of the horrors that happened in the forest. Soon Zenitsu and Tanjiro become friends and, together with Inosuke, become students of Kyojuro Rengoku. Despite the imminent death of their teacher, they continue to carry out all assignments and hunt demons together. Zenitsu is a good friend who will never speak ill of Tanjiro behind his back. Inosuke Hashibira - Without much thought, Hashibira attacks Tanjiro, who is protecting a girl from a demon roaming the house. After clearing the house, Hashibira tries to attack Nezuko, as he senses that she is a demon, which provokes Tanjiro, who ultimately loses the fight and passes out for a few minutes. Inosuke continues to try to provoke Tanjiro. However, Inosuke then realizes that he still needs to work hard to become truly strong, so he stops provoking anyone into pointless fights. Inosuke and Tanjiro both have a poor understanding of city life, unlike Zenitsu. They also get along well afterwards.
