==Summary==
{{Nihongo|'''Tanjiro Kamado'''|{{Ruby|竈門|かまど}} {{Ruby|炭|たん}}{{Ruby|治|じ}}{{Ruby|郎|ろう}}|Kamado Tanjirō}} is the main protagonist of [[Kimetsu no Yaiba|''Kimetsu no Yaiba'']]. Tanjiro is a kind-hearted young man who has taken it upon himself to support his family, finding happiness despite their lives hardened by his father's death. But that brief warmth is shattered one day when Tanjiro finds his family slaughtered, and the lone survivor, his sister [[Nezuko Kamado]], turns into a demon. However, to his surprise, Nezuko still showed signs of human emotion and thought. 

The fact convinced him that Nezuko was different from other demons, and he hoped she could become human again. Thus, he embarked on a journey to become a Demon Slayer to find a cure for his sister and fight demons to prevent others from suffering the same fate as him.

'''[[Intelligence]]:''' '''Gifted''' in general, '''[[Genius Intelligence|Genius]]''' in combat (Tanjiro is highly analytical and sagacious, with a natural aptitude and innate intuition in various areas. He can create strategies on the fly to defeat vastly superior opponents, even at the cost of his own life. After seeing it once, Tanjiro can analyze a fighting style, even in constantly shifting environments, without any advantages)

Tanjiro is an exceptional person who has a natural aptitude for combat. He has an explosive growth rate and can adapt quickly to any opponent. Tanjiro is especially good at using his opponent's abilities against them. He can deduce their powers rapidly by picking up subtle phrases and words throughout their fights, even if the opponent offers no specific details. He can develop new skills and breathing styles, which he can utilize effectively after using them once. Tanjiro can also combine techniques despite needing to be fully proficient. For instance, he combined the Breath of Water and the Hinokami Kagura to save Hinatsuru from Gyutaro. Later, he used it again during the Dimensional Infinity Fortress Arc to slay dozens of demons. Tanjiro has also shown proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, even though he has no prior martial arts training. He can hold his own and instantly adapt to Inosuke's animalistic, unarmed fighting style. Giyu, who encountered Tanjiro for the first time, was impressed by Tanjiro's plan to attack him by surprise, charging him unarmed and attempting to bring him down with a pre-thrown hatchet. Although the attack failed, Giyu was impressed by Tanjiro's plan, especially considering he was a rookie| Animalistic (Is only driven by Muzan's final will to eradicate the Demon Slayer Corps)

Its effect and efficiency are enhanced underwater, allowing users to draw water around their weapon to improve their slashes.
**{{Nihongo|'''Whirlpool, Flow'''|ねじれ{{Ruby|渦|うづ}}・{{Ruby|流流|りゅうりゅう}}|Nejire Uzu - Ryūryū}}: A combination of '''Third Form: Flowing Dance''' and '''Sixth Form: Whirlpool''' created by [[Tanjiro Kamado]]. The user combines the footwork from '''Flowing Dance''' and the twisting movements of '''Whirlpool''', resulting in the swordsman performing an attack around the user and conjuring a twisting, swirling, vicious flow of water to redirect projectiles from multiple angles.
*{{Nihongo|'''Seventh Form: Drop Ripple Thrust'''|{{Ruby|漆|しち}}ノ{{Ruby|型|かた}}　{{Ruby|雫|しずく}}{{Ruby|波|は}}{{Ruby|紋|もん}}{{Ruby|突|づ}}き|Shichi no kata: Shizuku Hamon Tsuki}}: The user performs a fast and accurate stab, capable of reducing the impact of a moving target.
**{{Nihongo|'''Drop Ripple Thrust, Curve'''|{{Ruby|雫|しずく}}{{Ruby|波|は}}{{Ruby|紋|もん}}{{Ruby|突|づ}}き・{{Ruby|曲|きょく}}|Shizuku Hamon Tsuki - Kyoku}}: A modified strike that hits from a specific angle corresponding to the sword's structure which nearly nullifies the impact and momentum of a moving object.
*{{Nihongo|'''Eighth Form: Waterfall Basin'''|{{Ruby|捌|はち}}ノ{{Ruby|型|かた}}　{{Ruby|瀧壼|たきつぼ}}|Hachi no kata: Takitsubo}}: The user cuts the target vertically in a flowing motion which is most effective when they are falling downward.
*{{Nihongo|'''Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow, Turbulent'''|{{Ruby|玖|く}}ノ{{Ruby|型|かた}}　{{Ruby|水|すい}}{{Ruby|流|りゅう}}{{Ruby|飛沫|しぶき}}・{{Ruby|乱|らん}}|Ku no kata: Suiryū Shibuki - Ran}} - The user changes their footwork in a way that minimizes the landing time and surface needed when landing, allowing the user to move without limits. Ideal when fighting in a place with no solid foothold.
*{{Nihongo|'''Tenth Form: Constant Flux'''|{{Ruby|拾|じゅう}}ノ{{Ruby|型|かた}}　{{Ruby|生生|せいせい}}{{Ruby|流|る}}{{Ruby|轉|てん}}|Jū no kata: Seisei Ruten}} - The user performs a continuous flowing attack which seemingly takes the form of a water dragon that increases in strength and power with each rotation due to momentum.

|-|Hinokami Kagura=
{{Nihongo|'''Hinokami Kagura'''|ヒノカミ{{Ruby|神楽|かぐら}}|Hinokami Kagura}}: Later revealed to be the {{Nihongo|'''Breath of the Sun'''|{{Ruby|日|ひ}}の{{Ruby|呼|こ}}{{Ruby|吸|きゅう}}|Hi no kokyū}}, the Hinokami Kagura is a Breath Style Tanjiro learned from his father when he was a child that mimics the sun using the user's movements, techniques and abilities. This Breath Style allows for stronger attacks and makes it feel like opponents were slashed with fire. It slows down a demon's regenerative healing factor (Demons capable of regenerating limbs at subsonic speeds could barely heal from it). There are 12 known forms created by [[Yoriichi Tsugikuni]] and, later, a thirteenth one specifically created to counter [[Muzan Kibutsuji]].

*{{Nihongo|'''Dance'''|{{Ruby|圓|えん}}{{Ruby|舞|ぶ}}|Enbu}}: The user delivers a single high-powered vertical slash.
**{{Nihongo|'''Dancing Flash'''|{{Ruby|圓|えん}}{{Ruby|舞|ぶ}}{{Ruby|一閃|いっせん}}|Enbu Issen}}: Tanjiro developed a modified version of '''Waltz''', which combines '''Thunderclap and Flash''' technique of Breath of Thunder into the high-powered slash of '''Waltz''' by inhaling huge amounts of oxygen, increasing the pumping of blood through the entire body, focusing it on the legs, and releasing it all to assault the target with a slash. This technique was capable of out-speeding [[Genya Shinazugawa]], [[Nezuko Kamado]], as well as the fleeing [[Hantengu]]. However, it is said to be slower than [[Zenitsu Agatsuma]]'s '''Thunderclap and Flash'''.
*{{Nihongo|'''Clear Blue Sky'''|{{Ruby|碧|へき}}{{Ruby|羅|ら}}の{{Ruby|天|てん}}|Heki-ra no Ten}}: The user spins their body horizontally to deliver a 360° slash.
*{{Nihongo|'''Raging Sun'''|{{Ruby|烈|れつ}}{{Ruby|日|じつ}}{{Ruby|紅|こう}}{{Ruby|鏡|きょう}}|Retsujitsu Kōkyō}}: The user unleashes two horizontal slashes to hit or defend from incoming attacks.
*{{Nihongo|'''Burning Bones, Summer Sun'''|{{Ruby|灼|しゃっ}}{{Ruby|骨炎陽|こつえんよう}}|Shakkotsu En'yō}}: The user unleashes a large circular slash that defends from imminent frontal attacks.
*{{Nihongo|'''Setting Sun Transformation'''|{{Ruby|斜陽轉身|しゃようてんしん}}|Shayō Tenshin}}: The user backflips into the air to deliver a powerful upended sword slash that aims to decapitate their target.
*{{Nihongo|'''Solar Heat Haze'''|{{Ruby|飛|ひ}}{{Ruby|輪陽炎|りんかげろう}}|Hirin Kagerō}}: The user charges towards the target, unleashing a horizontal slash seemingly covered in haze that fails to land, but actually does hit the target.
*{{Nihongo|'''Beneficent Radiance'''|{{Ruby|輝輝|きき}}{{Ruby|恩光|おんこう}}|Kiki Onkō}}: The user spirals into the air and delivers a powerful slash that surrounds the enemy.
*{{Nihongo|'''Sunflower Thrust'''|{{Ruby|陽|よう}}{{Ruby|華|か}}{{Ruby|突|とつ}}|Yōkatotsu}}: The user unleashes a single thrust attack with the point of the blade.
*{{Nihongo|'''Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance'''|{{Ruby|日暈|にちうん}}の{{Ruby|龍|りゅう}}・{{Ruby|頭|かぶり}}{{Ruby|舞|ま}}い|Nichiun no Ryū Kaburimai}}: The user unleashes a continuous fast and powerful sword attack that seemingly takes the form of a Japanese dragon made of solar flames. This technique is capable of decapitating multiple targets at once.
*{{Nihongo|'''Fire Wheel'''|{{Ruby|火|か}}{{Ruby|車|しゃ}}|Kasha}}: The user leaps behind the opponent and spins in the air downward, releasing a sword attack in a circular motion.
*{{Nihongo|'''Fake Rainbow'''|{{Ruby|幻日虹|げんにちこう}}|Gen'nichi Kō}}: The user performs high-speed twists and rotations, thus creating afterimages mainly used to evade attacks. The afterimages work most effectively on enemies with good vision.
*{{Nihongo|'''Flame Dance'''|{{Ruby|炎|えん}}{{Ruby|舞|ぶ}}|Enbu}}: A two-combo strike which starts with a vertical slash and then a horizontal one right after.
*{{Nihongo|'''Thirteenth Form'''|{{Ruby|拾|じゅう}}{{Ruby|參|さん}}ノ{{Ruby|型|かた}}|Jū San no kata}}: User performs all twelve forms of the Breath of the Sun repeatedly to improve accuracy, agility, and reduce fatigue. This form was created solely to take down [[Muzan Kibutsuji]] since the repetition of all twelve forms aims to eliminate Muzan's twelve vital organs (seven hearts and five brains) that move freely inside his body.

|-|Transparent World=
{{Nihongo|'''Transparent World'''|{{Ruby|透|す}}き{{Ruby|通|とお}}る{{Ruby|世|せ}}{{Ruby|界|かい}}|Sukitōru Sekai}}: Tanjiro can enter the Transparent World by focusing on his body and "closing" unneeded actions. In this state, he gains speed, strength, and perception. He can see through an enemy and predict their movements by observing their muscles, blood vessels, lungs, and contractions. Additionally, Tanjiro's heightened perception grants him greater speed and reflexes.

|-|Selfless State=
The {{Nihongo|'''Selfless State'''|{{Ruby|無我|むが}}の{{Ruby|境|きょう}}{{Ruby|地|ち}}|Muga no Kyōchi}} or the '''Realm of the Highest'''/'''Domain of Supremacy''' is a mysterious state of being associated with the Transparent World and is implied to be the zenith of physical combat.
In this state, his fighting spirit, emotions, and intent are impossible to detect.
