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.

Was integral in the final fight against Muzan, as he fought against him for a full hour and did most of the damage. Dealt the final blow to Muzan) | Large Building level (Infused with all of Muzan's remaining power, and Muzan himself deems him to be the new strongest demon after him. Incapacitated Zenitsu and Inosuke and wounded Kanao, the least wounded out of the remaining Demon Slayers from the previous fight with Muzan. Stated by Yushiro to be stronger than Muzan)

Fought Lower Rank-level demons in the Dimensional Infinity Fortress for nearly 5 hours on top of fighting Akaza) | Infinite (Demons don't tire)

Intelligence: Gifted in general, 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)
Weaknesses: Cannot lie convincingly, and cannot use the Hinokami Kagura more than a few times without exhausting himself and doing so after using Water Breathing techniques wreaks havoc on his body. | Cannot lie convincingly and Rage Power has a time limit, as he cannot keep that up for long. Demon Slayer Mark takes a toll on his stamina. | Cannot lie convincingly. | Wisteria flowers are poisonous to him. Animalistic in combat. Subconsciously still protective of Nezuko.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>
|-|Water Breathing=
: A Breathing Style that mimics the element of water, specifically the flow, flexibility, and adaptability of the liquid and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques involve the user bending their body, arm, and weapon in a flowing motion, allowing users to unleash flowing water-like attacks and fluid deflection of incoming physical attacks.
* - The user generates enough momentum to create a powerful single concentrated slash.
* - The user leaps and vertically spins forward in the air while releasing a flowing attack in a circular motion.
** - An alternate variation of Second Form: Water Wheel created by Tanjiro Kamado that unleashes a horizontal spin instead of a vertical one.
* - The user swings and bends their blade in a winding motion along with their body and dances in a flowing pattern, slicing everything in its path.
* - The user makes multiple consecutive slashes while twisting their body and sword in a flowing fashion to deliver numerous blows simultaneously.
** - An improved version of the Fourth Form: Striking Tide. The user increases the number of consecutive strikes and slashes, improving its accuracy in contacting a specific target during a chaotic situation.
* - The user changes the grip on their sword and decapitates the opponent in a single flowing strike that causes little to no pain. It is a “sword strike of kindness” used when the enemy willingly surrenders.
* - The user fiercely twists their upper and lower body, creating a whirlpool of air that cuts anything caught in it. Its effect and efficiency are enhanced underwater, allowing users to draw water around their weapon to improve their slashes.
** - 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.
* - The user performs a fast and accurate stab, capable of reducing the impact of a moving target.
** - 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.
* - The user cuts the target vertically in a flowing motion which is most effective when they are falling downward.
* - 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.
* - 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=
: Later revealed to be the , 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.
* - The user delivers a single high-powered vertical slash.
** - 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.
* - The user spins their body horizontally to deliver a 360° slash.
* - The user unleashes two horizontal slashes to hit or defend from incoming attacks.
* - The user unleashes a large circular slash that defends from imminent frontal attacks.
* - The user backflips into the air to deliver a powerful upended sword slash that aims to decapitate their target.
* - The user charges towards the target, unleashing a horizontal slash seemingly covered in haze that fails to land, but actually does hit the target.
* - The user spirals into the air and delivers a powerful slash that surrounds the enemy.
* - The user unleashes a single thrust attack with the point of the blade.
* - 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.
* - The user leaps behind the opponent and spins in the air downward, releasing a sword attack in a circular motion.
* - 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.
* - A two-combo strike which starts with a vertical slash and then a horizontal one right after.
* - 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=
: 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 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.
