**Tanjiro Kamado** is the main protagonist of *Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba*.

He is voiced by Natsuki Hanae in Japanese and Zach Aguilar in English.

## What Makes Him a Shonen Hero?

* **Heroic/Honorable**: Tanjiro has killed countless demons which protected many innocents in the short-term and eventually defeated Muzan Kibutsuji which protected the world in the long-term and is never shown to have joy in killing them (much rather the opposite as he feels extreme sympathy for them).
* **Courageous**: Tanjiro is very brave and ready to put his life on the line to protect those he loves.
* **Stubborn**: Despite Giyu and others' protests, Tanjiro insists that there is someone who can heal his sister Nezuko.
* **Pursues a Big-End Goal**: Tanjiro's ultimate goal of becoming a Demon Slayer was to find a way to heal Nezuko and kill Muzan to avenge his family.
* **Hard-Working**: After enrolling in the Demon Slayer Corps, he trains very hard to accomplish his goals.
* **Optimistic**: He keeps an overall optimistic attitude despite going through various hardships, unlike many Demon Slayers who became overall pessimistic after years of serving in the Corps.
* **Possesses Plot Armor**: After being turned into a demon by Muzan, Tanjiro is eventually successfully calmed down by his loved ones.
* **Spiky Hair**: Tanjiro has spiky hair.
* **Unnatural Hair Color**: He has burgundy accents in his brown hair
* **Short-Tempered**: Despite being more calm compared to other Shonen Heroes, Tanjiro can still be wrathful at times such as scolding Yushiro after he called Nezuko an eyesore.
* **Has an Idol**: Tanjiro looks up to Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku.
