Appearance

Tanjuro also wears a similar outfit as his son, except with an orange and black patterned haori instead of dark turquoise and black. The earrings he wore when he was alive were passed down from his ancestor and then later to Tanjiro.

Personality

Tanjuro is a quiet, calculating, forgivable and respectable person. He has a peaceful relationship with his family and consistently gives Tanjiro lectures about life.

While he appears calm on the outside, he shows a decent, noble aura with a quiet perception to his surroundings. According to his son, he does not like standing out or displaying his true abilities to others. However, if his family is in danger, he will not hesitate to protect them and shows no mercy towards the enemy.

Abilities and Powers

Although there isn't much information about his strength, Tanjuro is seen to have strong arms. He is capable of hiding the presence of his battle spirit and seeing through his enemies' abilities, slicing their head in one slash. For example, he once wakes Tanjiro up in the middle of the night to watch him fight and kill a bear with just a simple, rusty axe. It is speculated that he uses the Dance of the Fire God breath.

Trivia
