Tanjiro Kamado

appearance: Tanjiro has slicked-back burgundy hair and dark eyes, with a scar on the upper left side of his forehead that is exposed. He wears long rectangular earrings with a sun symbol and a black and green checkered haori over his standard Demon Slayer uniform.

He carries a wooden box where Nezuko sleeps during the day, made by Sakonji.

During the final confrontation with Muzan, Tanjiro injures his right eye, poisoning the young man in the process. The wound quickly begins to fester, turning into a grotesque, tumor-like mass of flesh that severely injures Tanjiro, causing him to lose his right eye in the process. Later during the fight, Muzan rips off Tanjiro's left arm.

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; one example is finding a cure for Nezuko. Even though 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 greatest 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 Demons to redeem themselves moments before death, though it rarely happens.

However, Tanjiro has a dark side to 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 hate demons like Akaza and Muzan who delight in murdering innocent people in cold blood for the simple fact of making 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 she knew he was actually a man but did not say anything because she found him curious and wanted to know why he pretended to be a woman.

Curiosities: Tanjiro's haori, whose pattern resembles a chessboard, belongs to the Edo Kiriko design, which means prosperity. Tanjiro's favorite food is Tara no me, a leafy sprout from the Japanese angelica tree, also known as the king of sansai. It's one of the most bitter mountain vegetables, which is why the Japanese use it to make tempura.
