Tanjiro is kind by nature and has been described by others as having very gentle eyes.

Although he is relatively strong on his own, he doesn't hesitate to ask others for help when he needs it. He is very protective of his friends, especially his younger sister. His most important attribute is his ability to empathize with anyone, even demons. This often makes him hesitate when killing demons. However, this trait could also allow some demons to redeem themselves moments before death, though this rarely happens.

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 infiltrated as a courtesan, the oiran reveals to him that from the beginning she knew that he was actually a man but said nothing because she found it 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 resolute in his decisions. His courage to protect the weak compelled him to confront his enemy with respect and dignity, be they good demons or evil ones.

In the manga's Omakes, Tanjiro has a female counterpart, her name is Tanko.
When she dresses up as a girl with her friends in the red-light district arch, she calls herself Sumiko. "Sumi" in Japanese means "ash" and "ko" is the ending of girls' names, meaning "girl" or "little one".
Tanjiro ranked first in the first manga popularity poll with 6,742 votes.
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, which is a shoot of leaves from the Japanese angelica tree, also known as the king of sansai. It is one of the most bitter mountain vegetables, which is why the Japanese use it to make tempura.
