Tanjiro Kamado

Sabito was a fair-skinned young man with a large scar running from the right corner of his mouth to his right ear, and kind, cat-like lavender-gray eyes with a horizontal bar of paler purple visible near the bottom. He had thick, spiky, peach-colored hair of varying lengths, the longest reaching his shoulders, which he wore haphazardly with a small side-swept fringe over the left side of his forehead. Sabito wore a green yukata, patterned with a geometric square design in yellow and dark green, tied at the waist with a black sash. Underneath, he wore hakama trousers, and over that, a plain white haori. Around his calves, he wore two pieces of cloth with the same pattern as his yukata, into which his trousers were tucked. He also wore black socks and a pair of Japanese sandals. As with the other apprentices of Sakonji Urokodaki, Sabito's white protective mask, hand-carved by his master, was shaped like a fox's face, adorned with a large scar in the same place as the one on his own face. The corneas and nose of the mask were dark black, with pale white pupils, while the ears were a grayish-red, their interiors painted the same color as his hair. The mask was secured around his face with a thick piece of red string around his head, the ends of which hung behind each of his ears. Sabito was a serious young man who believed that all his actions should make him a strong man. He was seen as a ruthless mentor during his time training Tanjiro Kamado, who was always quick to point out his flaws and refused to acknowledge him as a man. Sabito is currently dead.

Makomo was a short young woman with pale skin and soft, deep cyan eyes. Her pupils were rectangular and white, with a noticeably paler turquoise at the bottom. She had shoulder-length black hair that was spiky at the ends and a small fringe across her forehead. He also wore a red yukata with a pink and white floral pattern, over which he wore a sleeveless dark purple haori and a pale brown sash tied around his waist. On his feet, he wore a pair of sandals similar in design to those worn by Mitsuri Kanroji, tied around the ankle from the heel and closed at the toe. As with the rest of Sakonji Urokodaki's apprentices, Makomo's white protective mask, hand-carved by his master, was in the shape of a smiling fox face with closed eyes. It was decorated with two painted blue flowers on its left side, and the inside of the ears was painted yellow. Completely opposite to Sabito's aggressive personality, Makomo was a calm, patient, and kind girl. She was always helping Tanjiro Kamado by pointing out any flaws in his technique and correcting the bad habits he had unconsciously developed during his training with Sakonji. Makomo's favorite phrase is that she loves Sakonji very much. He is also a somewhat mysterious person, as he always speaks in an abstract and dreamy way without giving direct answers to questions about his past, which is completely unknown. Makomo and the other spirits of Sakonji's children entrust Tanjiro with the task of comforting his adoptive father. She and Sabito watch over their loved ones, including Tanjiro, helping to bring their souls to rest. Makomo is currently dead.

His face is completely unknown as it is covered by a tengu mask. His hair is shown to be silver. He always wears a jinbei-style kimono along with a hood that covers his head whenever he travels. He is shown to have a strict, coach-like demeanor when he takes Tanjiro Kamado as his student, sending him to a low-oxygen mountain for training. However, he also has a protective side, demonstrated by his looking after Nezuko Kamado during her brother's training and the Final Selection, and even suggesting to Nezuko that she not attack humans. He hadn't planned to continue training people to be demon slayers after the repeated deaths of his students at the hands of a demon from the Final Selection. But he showed extreme happiness when Tanjiro returned alive from it.

Muichiro is a short teenager, standing at 160cm, with a muscular build and fair complexion. He has long, straight black hair that fades to a bluish-mint green as it approaches his waist. He usually wears it loose, with a few strands sticking out on either side of his head, a slightly shorter set of hair framing his face, and a stray fringe across his forehead. He also has large, bluish-mint green eyes that often give his expressions a blank look. His eyes and hair are traits he shares with his twin brother, Yuichiro Tokito. His signature attire consisted of the classic uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps. The most notable customizations were: the fabric of the entire uniform was lightly dyed turquoise, his jacket and trousers were loose-fitting at the bottom, and on his feet he wore dark blue tabi socks and a pair of white zōri sandals with dark blue straps. Muichiro was an eccentric and stoic child, constantly seemingly lost in thought and with little ability to concentrate. He rarely displayed emotion, often maintaining a distant demeanor; this led him to become impassive and, at times, obtuse, tending to think only for himself and operating solely on logic, never letting emotion guide him, making him appear completely apathetic and indifferent. Tanjiro Kamado felt that Muichiro wasn't being so apathetic on purpose, as he didn't exude any animosity. Part of his stoic behavior was conditioned by the loss of his memories.

Kyojuro was a young man of barely 20 years of age, with cream-colored skin, bright yellow hair with red streaks, forked black eyebrows, and golden eyes.

His outfit consisted of the regular Demon Hunter uniform along with a cape that has a white-to-yellow gradient pattern and red flame-shaped crests at the tips.

His hakama is fastened at the ankles with a pair of cloths whose design resembles flames, zori shoes with red laces, and black stockings. His Nichirin sword has a flame-shaped tsuba, and the blade of his katana is crimson red. Of all the pillars, Kyojuro was the most enthusiastic of all, being by far the most aware of his mission; however, he could afford to be eccentric.

He was kind and boasted of possessing extraordinary swordsmanship and technique, the result of rigorous practice and discipline. He was an honorable warrior who adhered to the moral code and principles instilled in him by his mother at a young age; the most important thing for him was that those born strong have a duty to protect the weak.

Tengen was a very tall, powerfully built, muscular man with a slightly tanned complexion. His hair was white and uneven in length, the longest strands reaching his shoulders and styled with three shorter, more prominent locks that arched to fall like bangs between his eyes and on either side of his face. He had very thin, fuchsia-colored eyes that seemed to slant inwards, each with a long eyelash that flowed to the other side of his face. During his time in the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen wore a customized version of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, which was black with a turquoise tint, a burgundy cloth wrap around his calves where the hakama pants fastened, and white sandals. He also wore two thick, gold rings around his upper arms and what appeared to be a pair of blue fingerless gloves, secured around his middle finger with a white band. His wrists were adorned with another set of thinner gold rings, two on each side. In addition to this, Tengen wore a white wrap covering her hair, leaving only a thin ponytail visible behind her head between her layers. This ponytail was adorned with a large, pale gray headband decorated with six light pink gemstones: three large ones arranged in a line, and three small ones arranged in a triangle on the far left. A chain of smaller, pale blue gemstones hung from each side of this headdress, framing her face. She also wore what appeared to be red eye makeup around her left eye, consisting of alternating large and small dots that extended inward. Tengen was a very eccentric person; he always wanted to complete his actions in an "extravagant" way.

Gyomei was a man of strong, muscular build. He is one of the tallest Pillars in the series, standing over two meters tall, and the oldest of all the Pillars, making him the most experienced. He had short black hair with a thick scar running horizontally across his forehead, a result of his battle against the Demon who murdered the children in his care. He had no irises, primarily because he was blind, and they would often fill with tears when he was in an emotional situation. His signature attire consisted of the classic uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps. His outfit had no visible customizations except for the thick bandages he used to hold up his hakama, like trousers. He wore no socks with his zori sandals, which had thick green straps, and kept the sleeves of his coat rolled up to display his thick, powerful arms. He also wore a long-sleeved green haori with white trim, which had Buddhist Sanskrit symbols written on each side and printed on the back (in the manga), a clear allusion to his religious beliefs. He usually wore a necklace of thick red beads around his neck and was constantly seen holding prayer beads whenever he wasn't in battle. Gyomei was a very religious person and could often be seen reciting the Amitābha mantra in situations that saddened him and offering prayers to those around him. Most of the time he remained serene, kind, and very emotional. He cried frequently in all kinds of situations. Despite his quiet personality and his tendency to get emotional to the point of crying.

Mitsuri was a young woman of average height, with fair skin and a slender build, possessing a curvy and voluptuous figure. She had large, striking lime-green eyes and two moles positioned parallel to each other beneath her cheekbones, often giving her cheeks a rosy glow. Her pink hair, with a green gradient extending towards the ends, was quite long and usually styled in three braided pigtails. The left and right braids fell in front of her shoulders, while the center braid cascaded down her back. Her bangs were divided into three sections, mirroring the placement of her braids: one part framed her face, and a few thin strands fell in the center. Her signature outfit consisted of her own customized version of the Demon Slayer Corps uniform. She wore a white shirt and a black jacket with a light pink tint, both left unbuttoned due to her large breasts, revealing a plunging neckline. She wore a short black skirt, also with a light pink trim at the bottom, held in place by a white leather sash that carried her Nichirin Blade. She also wore a long-sleeved white haori and a pair of navy blue thigh-high socks covered by another pair of green striped knee-high socks, along with pink lace-up Japanese sandals. Mitsuri was a cheerful, passionate, and kind young woman. She was sometimes prone to nervousness and easily frightened, and she didn't tolerate insults well. She loved loving others, which was likely related to her title as the Love Pillar. After joining the Demon Slayer Corps, she revealed that her reason for joining was to find a man stronger than herself.

Obanai is a man of medium height with cream-colored skin, black hair, and heterochromia: his left eye is turquoise and his right eye is yellow. His hair is long, styled in a way that makes it appear to be cut in flat extensions, with a fringe parted in the middle of his forehead into two thick strands. Another distinctive feature of the character is that his mouth is covered in bandages, concealing his facial expressions. This is because, during his childhood, Obanai's mouth was cut from the corners to the level of his ears to make it resemble a snake's, leaving him with a horrific wound that he hides beneath his bandages. As for his attire, Obanai wears the characteristic uniform of Demon Slayers, consisting of hakama pants held up with white sashes around the ankles, complemented by a white haori with wide, long sleeves embroidered with horizontal and vertical black stripes. He carries a white snake named Kaburamaru, his pet, wrapped around his shoulders, and wears black stockings and blue zori sandals. Obanai is a very harsh and strict individual who shows no concern for those who deviate from the Demon Slayer Corps' rules. His expectations for his fellow Demon Slayers are almost unrealistic, as seen in his reprimand of Tengen Uzui for sustaining serious injuries against the "weaker" Upper Moon and his demand that Tengen "fight to the death" when he insists on withdrawing. Tengen's withdrawal also highlights Obanai's devotion to the future of the Demon Slayer Corps, often at the expense of others, such as when he ties up lower-ranking Demon Slayers and uses them as obstacles during Pillar training for relatively trivial reasons. He also views new recruits as weak and incapable of improvement.

He is a man of average height, with fair skin and gray eyes. He has a sharp gaze and no eyebrows. His hair is a warm gray, which he keeps short, with his bangs parted parallel to his forehead into two thick strands, one in the center and the other on the left side of his head. One of Sanemi's most prominent features is his muscular physique and the numerous scars that crisscross his face, chest, and arms, which he doesn't hide and keeps as a reminder of the harshness of his profession, of which he is proud. Regarding his attire, it consists of the Demon Slayer uniform, in his case a customized version, which is black with green accents. The top part is unbuttoned, revealing his torso and numerous scars. He also wears a white jacket and keeps his Nichirin sword on his belt. His hakama is secured at each ankle with two pairs of thick straps. Later, between the Functional Recovery Training Arc and the Pillar Training Arc, Sanemi cut his hair, leaving only his central fringe. Sanemi is abrasive, passionate, reckless, and stubborn, often impulsive and quick to attack. He is usually indifferent to others and can become angry very easily. The only person Sanemi ever showed reverence to was Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and this was only after realizing that the man was much more than his outward appearance suggested. Sanemi has also displayed a hunger for battle. Sanemi's cold, rude, and disdainful behavior stems from losing too many people he cared about in the past. Later, when he sees those who have passed away, like his mother, he can't help but smile, hoping to see her again. Genya joins the Demon Slayer Corps in his search.

In his introduction, Giyu appears as a young adult of about 19 years old. He is of average height, with fair skin, long black hair tied back in a ponytail that reaches his lower back, and sapphire-blue eyes. His characteristic attire consists of the standard uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps, which is slightly tinted blue. He also wears a haori divided into two colors: one red, which belonged to his sister, and the other with a geometric pattern in green, orange, and yellow; this latter pattern is a reminder of his friendship with Sabito. Giyu has a reserved personality and always wears a serious expression. He demonstrates a strong sense of justice, with no tolerance for those who don't know their own limitations and waste their lives. Although he harbored a deep hatred for demons and never hesitated to kill one, he was able to go against the rules of the Demon Slayer Corps to protect Nezuko Kamado, realizing that she might be different from the other demons. He even agreed to sacrifice his life for her and her brother, Tanjiro Kamado, by committing seppuku if she were to eat a human. This implied that he didn't completely despise demons like the others and was willing to make an exception, letting them live if they didn't kill or eat humans. This also showed that he was the most pragmatic in dealing with demons, rather than hating them like the rest of the demon slayers. He was someone who didn't talk much and seemed to have trouble interacting with others, which led him to keep his distance from his classmates. This caused him to develop a kind of complex about what others thought of him, and he refused to believe that he was hated. Giyu is the water pillar

Shinobu was a petite, fair-skinned girl with pink lipstick. Her short, wavy black hair, with purple-tinted extensions at the tips, was styled in loose bangs and featured two long sideburns. Her eyes were unusual, a purple color with a compound appearance similar to that of insects, as they lacked pupils. Shinobu kept her hair styled in a flat bun at the back of her head, secured with a white, turquoise, and light purple butterfly hair accessory. Shinobu was quite short and often described herself as small and weak, a perception reinforced by her claim that she lacked the physical strength to decapitate a Demon like the other Pillars. Her Nichirin sword had a custom design, featuring a butterfly-wing-shaped guard and a blade missing its cutting edge, reflecting her perceived lack of strength to sever Demon heads. However, the sword is designed to inject poison made from wisteria flowers, which compensates for its lack of physical strength. She wore the standard Hunter uniform, which in her case consisted of a straight-cut, purple-tinted black jacket with black hakama pants tucked into a butterfly-patterned kyahan fabric around her legs, and purple zori sandals. She also wore a gray haori with a butterfly wing pattern that faded to turquoise and pink at the sleeves. Shinobu was quite laid-back, always with a smile on her face, regardless of the situation. She seemed to enjoy teasing others and could be quite sadistic about it, especially towards her partner Giyu Tomioka. When faced with a Demon, Shinobu displayed an unexpectedly cruel and sadistic side. Shinobu is the Insect Pillar.

Before being turned into a demon by Muzan, Nezuko had her black hair styled in a bun secured with a pink hair ornament. According to Tanjiro, Nezuko was the most beautiful girl in her village. Her eyes had human features and were the same violet color shared by almost all members of her family. Her attire after embarking on her journey with her brother consists of a pink kimono embroidered with a stylized asanoha (hemp leaf) pattern, with a pale pink juban underneath folded in a shiripashori style, creating a curtain-like drape that allows her to move freely. Her obi is red and white with a checkered pattern, and she wears a black haori and a green obiage over her obi. Her footwear consists of pink laced zori sandals, white tabi socks, and black leg wraps. When she was transformed into a Demon by Muzan, her physical features changed drastically; her hair remains loose with flattened, wavy, and thin extensions that fade to a shade of orange at the tips, her fangs become more pronounced, her nails are elongated and pink, and her eyes change to a bright pink with cat-like pupils, a trait shared by almost all Demons. Nezuko wears a piece of bamboo tied to her mouth with a red string as a recurring gag for the character, provided by Giyu Tomioka; this, in addition to being her identifying mark, prevents her from accidentally attacking another person. After she was turned into a Demon by Muzan, a large part of her memories as a human were lost, mostly those related to her family. She is still very affectionate and protective of other humans, whom she sees as family members, due to Urokodaki's influence while she slept for two years. She is also quite brash and doesn't seem afraid to fight; she fiercely protects her brother and his allies.

Genya was a muscular young man of considerable height, standing at 180 cm (5'11"). His hair was black with yellow tips, shaved on the right side and extending below his shoulders on the left. He usually wore it loose.[6] His eyes were large with small irises, and a prominent scar marked the right side of his face. This scar was inflicted by his mother, who transformed into a Demon and tried to kill him. He wore the standard uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps with its characteristic purple Yukata. When Genya becomes a Demon, his hair lengthens abruptly, becoming curled with small yellow spots at the tips; likewise, the sclera of his eyes turns black and his eyes acquire a yellow color, in addition to his nails and teeth growing. He was deeply affected by his traumatic past and the family relationships that shaped his character. From his first appearance, he was shown to be temperamental, rude, and defiant. His rudeness was evident in his treatment of Kanata Ubuyashiki, whom he grabbed by the hair without showing the slightest remorse. His rude attitude is very similar to that of his older brother, Sanemi Shinazugawa. Throughout his time in the Demon Slayer Corps, he had the opportunity to interact with other demon slayers and Tanjiro Kamado, allowing him to show himself as a more sociable and charismatic young man. However, his bad temper occasionally surfaced, but he demonstrated a conscious effort to connect with others and find his place in a world that had always seemed hostile to him.

Inosuke was a young man of average height. He always wore a mask made from the head of a boar with gray fur and blue eyes. Instead of the standard Demon Slayer uniform, he wore a black hakama with a fur skirt at the waist, protecting his groin and genitals. Because he didn't wear the typical Demon Slayer jacket, his torso was completely exposed, revealing a muscular and toned physique. When he wasn't wearing his Boar mask, Inosuke's face was that of a young man with a somewhat effeminate appearance, short dark hair with blue-tinted extensions, and green eyes. His thick eyelashes accentuated his feminine features. Inosuke was extremely temperamental, impulsive, impatient, and filled with excessive pride. His pride was such that he was even willing to fight opponents who were technically stronger than him. He wasn't the type of person to stop and consider the difference in power levels between himself and his opponent, which often put him in serious danger of dying. This happened on several occasions, such as when he became convinced he could defeat Upper Moon Six, Daki, and Gyutaro after being influenced by Tengen Uzui's words. He sometimes had trouble admitting defeat, making him a sore loser, and he was always trying to compete with Tanjiro Kamado and provoke him into fighting, failing miserably in his attempts. Despite this, Inosuke seemed to harbor a deep-seated insecurity that he masked with his arrogant attitude, stemming from his inability to adapt to his surroundings and his fear of being rejected for being different. His low self-esteem became apparent after his defeat at the hands of one of the Spider Demons and his subsequent humiliation by the Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, leading him to apologize to his comrades for his weakness.

Zenitsu is a fair-skinned teenager with short hair that was once black, but after being struck by lightning during his training, his hair bleached to blond with some orange highlights. His eyes are a golden brown, and his eyebrows are thick. He wears the standard Demon Slayer uniform without any customizations, consisting of a yellow haori decorated with small white triangles. Zenitsu is a coward by nature. He always claims he doesn't have much time left to live because of the dangerous job of being a Demon Slayer. He's also a bit of a womanizer and likes to flirt with girls he thinks are cute, asking them to marry him, much to their annoyance. Zenitsu has low self-esteem, but still wants to live up to the expectations others have set for him. However, he was constantly afraid and always cried and ran away. He says he wants to live a modest life where he can be of use to someone. Despite his lack of self-esteem, Zenitsu holds great respect and admiration for his comrades and his deceased master, Jigoro Kuwajima. His focus and determination to avenge him helped him overcome his cowardice and self-doubt. Zenitsu's desire to find a girlfriend and get married overrides his docile personality, particularly when he believes his comrades are "flirting" with pretty girls. He quickly becomes enraged and begins to protest and complain hysterically, leading to moments of comic relief throughout the story. During these times, he has also demonstrated physical aggression, lashing out in his frustrations.

Kanao was introduced as a young woman with a calm, quiet, and rather distant personality. Before meeting the Kochō sisters, Kanao suffered multiple abuses in her childhood at the hands of her parents, which caused her to suppress her emotions as a defense mechanism. In an attempt to suppress this flaw, Kanae Kochō gave her a coin to help her make decisions by flipping it.[2] Over the years, after witnessing the suffering inflicted on Shinobu Kochō's relatives, Aoi Kanzaki and Kiyo Terauchi, Kanao began to develop a hatred for the creatures of her own. Since Kanao was unfamiliar with housework and nursing, she ended up training to become a Demon Slayer under Kanae Kochō's tutelage, learning the Flower Breathing techniques. Her usual attire consisted of her Demon Slayer Corps uniform, the fabric of which is slightly tinted purple in the anime. She wore a pleated skirt that reached below her knees, instead of the characteristic hakama trousers, held up by a white leather belt. From this belt hung her Nichirin sword, the white hilt of which was connected to a pink, circular guard engraved with a lotus flower and edged in white. The blade of her sword had the same color scheme as the guard. Instead of traditional Japanese sandals, she wore a pair of white lace-up boots with dark yellow laces and beige toes. She also wore a white cloak with fuchsia trim. Kanao was a young woman with large, striking pink/lilac eyes, accentuated by her thick, black eyelashes. Her hair was straight and black, with straight bangs that reached just above her eyes.

The Kamaboko squad is the informal name fans give to the main group of demon slayers consisting of Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Nezuko (sometimes including Kanao and Genya), who fight together against Muzan and his demons, representing the five human senses (smell, hearing, touch, sight, and taste/proprioception), which are crucial for their growth, skill development, and the union of unique abilities to overcome obstacles, symbolizing unity and hope in the battle against the dark forces. Members and Symbolism Tanjiro: Smell (the most acute sense, detects the smells of demons and emotions). Zenitsu: Hearing (hears sounds and presences from a distance). Inosuke: Touch (feels vibrations and presences through his skin). Nezuko: Proprioception/Connection (her ability to sense and coordinate the senses of others, in addition to being a demon with a human heart). Kanao: Sight (sight enhanced by her flower's breath). Genya: Taste/Consumption (consumes parts of demons to obtain their powers). Purpose and Importance Representation of the Senses: Each member highlights a primary sense, showing how the combination of their unique perceptions is vital to overcoming challenges that one alone could not. Joint Fighting: They form a powerful team, train together, and fight alongside the Hashira against dangerous demons, proving that they are not just novices. Growth and Hope: They symbolize perseverance, friendship, and hope, constantly evolving and serving as a light against the darkness of demons and Muzan. Family Connection: Their dynamic strengthens the narrative, showing how they become a united family that fights for a common goal, with Nezuko as the heart of the group.

The Pillars (Hashira) are the nine most powerful demon hunters of the Extermination Corps, the elite who lead the fight against Muzan and his demons, mastering unique breathing techniques for superhuman abilities, serving as the first line of defense and training rookies, being vital to protecting humanity and fulfilling the goal of eradicating the demons. Who are the Pillars? They are nine elite swordsmen, each with an elemental breathing style: Giyū Tomioka: Water Pillar. Kyojuro Rengoku: Flame Pillar. Shinobu Kocho: Insect Pillar. Tengen Uzui: Pillar of Sound. Mitsuri Kanroji: Pillar of Love. Muichiro Tokito: Pillar of the Mist. Gyomei Himejima: Pillar of the Rock (Stone). Sanemi Shinazugawa: Wind Pillar. Obanai Iguro: Serpent Pillar. Maximum strength: They are the main force and elite of the Extermination Corps, capable of facing the strongest demons, including the Upper Moons. Line of defense: They act as the first protective barrier against the demonic threat and Muzan Kibutsuji. Leadership and training: They guide the offensive and are responsible for training new hunters like Tanjiro and his friends. Symbol of hope: Their power and dedication represent hope for humanity in its fight against darkness.

Tanjiro Kamado's past is that of a humble young man who lived happily selling charcoal with his family in the mountains, but his life is shattered when a demon (Muzan) murders his mother and siblings, leaving only his sister Nezuko, who is transformed into a demon; this drives him to become a Demon Slayer to avenge his family and find a cure for Nezuko, a journey marked by tragedy and compassion

To restore the humanity of his younger sister Nezuko, who was turned into a demon, and to avenge the massacre of his family by defeating Muzan Kibutsuji, the Demon King, while protecting other innocent people from the same fate, demonstrating empathy and unwavering determination despite the pain.

Tanjiro has burgundy hair styled back and dark eyes with a visible scar on the upper left side of his forehead. He wears long rectangular earrings with a sun symbol and a black and green checkered haori over the standard Demon Slayer uniform. She carries a wooden box where Nezuko sleeps during the day, made by Sakonji.

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 revealed to him that she knew from the beginning that 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. Through years of service and the amount of experience he faced, he became more calculating and strict in his resolve. His courage to protect the weak committed him to facing his enemy with respect and dignity, whether they were good or evil demons.
