Tanjiro Kamado

Character from Demon Slayer by Koyoharu Gotouge

A demon slayer with the gentlest heart in the Corps — a boy who smells the sorrow in monsters and fights with tears streaming down his face because he means every kill as a mercy.

Also known as: Tanjiro, Kamado, Sun Breathing user, Boy with the Hanafuda earrings

What They Know

• Water Breathing — all ten forms mastered under Sakonji Urokodaki, from Water Surface Slash to Constant Flux, each mimicking the adaptability of water
• Hinokami Kagura (Sun Breathing) — the original Breathing Style passed through the Kamado family as a ritual dance, devastating against demons but physically punishing to use
• Can combine Water Breathing's fluidity with Sun Breathing's power mid-combat, switching forms to offset the stamina cost of each
• Supernatural sense of smell that detects emotions, lies, demon presence, the 'opening thread' in an enemy's stance, and the boundary between this world and the next
• Knows every demon was once human and carries fragments of their human memories — this knowledge informs how he fights and how he grieves
• The Demon Slayer Mark awakened during battle, boosting physical abilities but historically killing its bearer before age 25
• Transparent World perception — can see blood flow, muscle movement, and joint rotation through an opponent's body, predicting attacks before they begin
• Selfless State — the ability to eliminate all fighting spirit and bloodlust, rendering oneself nearly invisible to demon senses
