Tanjuro Kamado is Tanjiro and Nezuko's father. He's best known as the quiet, principled figure who shaped his son's character through careful guidance and lived example.
Illness has left him pale and gaunt, but he shares Tanjiro's distinctive eyes and dark hair, along with the family's ancestral earrings. His wardrobe matches his son's too—a visual reminder of their deep connection.
Tanjuro comes across as intelligent and forgiving, someone with an almost noble quality to him, though he maintains a certain distance from the world around him. He's the type who prefers to blend in rather than stand out. According to Tanjiro, his father actively conceals his true abilities and strength from others. That said, this restraint vanishes completely if his family faces real danger—he becomes ruthless and decisive, showing no hesitation in eliminating threats.
Beyond his quiet demeanor, Tanjuro's defining role is as a source of wisdom. He frequently shares life lessons with Tanjiro, and their relationship reflects genuine peace and mutual respect rather than conflict. He's a stabilizing presence, the kind of father whose influence runs deep precisely because he doesn't need to dominate or command respect.
