KIMETSU NO YAIBA "TANJIRO KAMADO"

TANJIRO KAMADO

Tanjiro Kamado ((竈門 炭治郎 Kamado Tanjirō) the main protagonist of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He is hunting down the Demon (Muzan Kibutsuji ) who is responsible for the murder of his family and his sister's (Nezuko Kamado) transformation into one.

Synopsis

The oldest son of a charcoal-seller. His entire family was massacred by a demon while he was selling charcoal, with only his sister Nezuko surviving. His goal is to find a cure for her and turn her back into a human, and it is to this end that he decides to join the Demon Slayer Corps. He initially trained under Urokodaki, learning the "Water Breathing"sword-style, but has since begun to branch out. He began to use his family's Hinokami Kagura (ヒノカミ神楽 lit. Dance of the Fire God) technique as a more powerful form of fighting but later merged it with the Water Breathing techniques to create a more sustainable fighting style. His skull is extremely thick and his head-butts are often used as gags throughout the series. He is a kind-hearted boy and often feels sympathy for demons and their victims. His endless optimism and simple nature often have people enjoy his company, but at the same time, it also puts him at odds with certain personalities. His sword is black. Tanjiro has a heightened sense of smell.

Personality

Tanjiro is kind by nature and has been described by others as having very gentle eyes. He exhibits a great deal of determination and will not give up once he has a goal to achieve; the best example of this being his relentless quest to find a cure for Nezuko. Even though he is relatively strong on his own, Tanjiro isn't 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. However, despite his kind and understanding nature, Tanjiro does have a limit to his tolerance and has a distaste for rudeness, as he easily becomes annoyed by Zenitsu Agatsuma's constant whining, and angered by Inosuke Hashibira's barbaric actions.

Abilities and Swordsmanship

Natural Abilities

Enhanced Sense of Smell: Tanjiro has had a heightened sense of smell even before he underwent sword training. It is strong enough for him to smell the 'line of interval' --the slight pause in an enemy's movement which allows him an opening in which to strike-- and distinguish between species, as well as their approximate position. After training this skill during his time as a Demon Hunter, Tanjiro has acquired the ability to smell emotions as well as track objects, humans and demons over long distances.

Fighting ability: This trait of Tanjiro's was pointed out by Giyu Tomioka during their first encounter, in which Tanjiro skilfully laid out a plan to attack Giyu by surprise by charging towards him, not showing the Demon Hunter that he was unarmed, and bring down Giyu with an ax he had thrown in the air beforehand. The attack failed, but Giyu was still very impressed by Tanjiro's plan, especially considering he was a rookie at the time.

Enhanced strength: After his training at Sagiri Mountain, Tanjiro has gained immense strength and speed and has demonstrated a great use of it, as seen when he jumped twice his height over the Hand Demon, who killed Sakonji's disciples, during Final Selection. His forehead is noted to be unusually sturdy as well.

Ability to See-Through: Like his father, he finally gained the ability to foresee the opponent's attack while showing no battle spirit and sense of blood-lust, gaining immunity from anyone who can sense these.

SwordsmanshipDemon Slayer Mark: Tanjiro awakened his mark for the first time while fighting Daki, an Upper Moon Six. He awakened it once again while fighting Akaza, an Upper Moon Three. This state increases his strength, speed and reaction time drastically. He becomes capable of easily dodging and countering Daki's attacks, without her being able to injure him at all. In his fight against Akaza, he can dodge Akaza's End Style: Chaotic Blue Metal Afterglow, which Giyu's Eleventh Style failed to counter. His speed becomes fast enough to cut off Akaza's head, without the latter being able to react. The only drawback is that Tanjiro can only enter this state on rare occasions, and can only use it for a very short period since it causes exhaustion to his body, as shown in his battle against Akaza and Daki. Unlike all the other marks users, Tanjirou can only use the mark for only a very short time while all others can use it for longer than him.

Breath of Water (水みずの呼こ吸きゅう Mizu no kokyū^?): Taught to him by Sakonji, the Water Pillar before Giyu. The user can increase the amount of oxygen in one's blood by controlling his breathing pattern, which increases his strength and agility to equal that of a Demon. Tanjiro has now learned to do full focus breaths at all times, further increasing his base strength, speed, and stamina. With this enhanced strength and ability to find the 'line of the interval,' Tanjiro can utilize ten different moves
