He is a Water Breathing and Hinokami Kagura practitioner who joins the Demon Slayer Corps to find a cure for his sister, Nezuko, who was transformed into a demon.
These pages suit Demon Slayer fans, anime coloring enthusiasts, and anyone looking for the most comprehensive single-character set in the series.
The coloring challenge that belongs only to this set: Tanjiro’s haori. The green-and-black checkerboard pattern inherited from his father covers every page he appears on. Getting the alternating squares even, consistent, and correctly sized across a curved surface is the most technically demanding pattern work in the entire Demon Slayer collection.

What’s Inside Tanjiro Coloring Pages
The set is the largest single-character Demon Slayer collection on this site, covering action, emotion, chibi, paired pages, and rare character appearances not found elsewhere in the series collection.
Tanjiro Solo Action and Portrait Pages
The core of the set covers Tanjiro in his most recognizable poses: standing with sword, mid-combat fighting poses, running, using a technique, thinking, and a range of emotional expressions, including happy, angry, cute, handsome, and shocked.
Coloring Tanjiro: Tanjiro has dark red-burgundy hair pulled back, with lighter red-brown highlights. His eyes are a distinctive dark red. His skin is warm, and his scar on his forehead is reddish-purple. His Demon Slayer Corps uniform is a dark navy, and over it he wears the green-and-black checkerboard haori. The haori is the most demanding element on any page he appears in. The green should be a medium forest green, slightly muted rather than bright, alternating with near-black squares in a regular grid. On pages where the haori is prominent, sketch the grid lightly before filling to keep the squares consistent across curves and folds.
Tanjiro and Nezuko Paired Pages
Seven pages feature Tanjiro and Nezuko together: standard paired scenes, a carrying page (Tanjiro carrying Nezuko in her box), a chibi Nezuko and Tanjiro page, and a Tanjiro and Nezuko art page.
Coloring paired pages: Nezuko’s pink kimono with its green hemp leaf pattern and her distinctive bamboo muzzle contrast with Tanjiro’s dark navy and green-black haori. On paired pages, the green of the haori and the hemp leaf pattern on Nezuko’s kimono are related tones. They should be treated as a deliberate color family between the siblings. Tanjiro’s darker, more muted forest green and Nezuko’s softer, warmer green on her kimono create a visual connection without being identical.
Chibi Pages
The set includes multiple chibi pages: solo chibi Tanjiro, chibi Tanjiro with sword, chibi Tanjiro Kamado, and a chibi Tanjiro and Nezuko paired page.
Coloring chibi pages: Chibi Tanjiro uses the same palette as the standard pages, but the checkerboard haori on a chibi form has fewer, larger squares. This actually makes the pattern easier to execute cleanly. The dark red of his hair reads especially well in chibi proportions, giving him strong character recognition even at a smaller scale.
Demon Tanjiro
One page shows Demon Tanjiro: Tanjiro after being transformed into a demon in the series’ final arc. This is the rarest and most tonally different page in the set.
Coloring Demon Tanjiro: Demon Tanjiro retains the checkerboard haori, but his appearance shifts dramatically: his sclera turns dark, his eyes glow, and his expression is one of controlled menace rather than warmth. The haori pattern remains green-and-black, but the page benefits from a cooler, more sinister overall treatment. Desaturating the green slightly and adding cooler skin tones reflects the transformation while keeping him recognizable.
Supporting Characters and Group Pages
The set includes several pages featuring characters beyond Tanjiro: Tanjiro with Kanao (his future wife, a Demon Slayer Corps member), Tanjiro with Sabito (his training companion at Final Selection), Kamado Takeo (Tanjiro’s younger brother), Sumiyoshi Kamado (Tanjiro’s ancestor), and a four-character Demon Slayer group page.
Coloring supporting characters: Kanao has dark hair and a pale lavender Butterfly Estate uniform with soft, gentle tones. Sabito, seen only in Tanjiro’s Final Selection memories, has silver-white hair and a distinctive fox mask. Sumiyoshi Kamado wears clothing appropriate to the Taisho era setting, with the same checkerboard haori pattern, establishing visually that the haori is a family inheritance across generations. The four-character group page features Tanjiro with Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Nezuko, and is the most colorfully complex page in the entire set.
Printable PDF and Online Tanjiro Coloring Pages
All pages are available as printable PDFs or in the online coloring tool. The action pages and paired scenes reward printing for detailed work on the checkerboard pattern. The chibi pages work well in both formats.
What These Pages Do
Tanjiro inherits everything he uses in battle. The checkerboard haori was his father’s. His Breathing techniques were taught to him and inherited from his ancestors. Sun Breathing came to him through ancestral memory, passed down across the Kamado bloodline. Even the scar on his forehead is inherited, a transformation of the burn mark he had since childhood.
Coloring Tanjiro is coloring someone who carries other people on him, visibly. The haori checkerboard is not just a pattern. It is the weight of his family on his back, worn into battle. Children who color both the ancestor page (Sumiyoshi in the same haori) and the standard Tanjiro pages have something in their hands that most coloring sets cannot offer: two people from different times, in the same haori.
The AAP notes that activities that present characters who act from a sense of responsibility to family and community support children’s development of prosocial values and the understanding of why people help others, even at great cost.
Art therapy practitioners note that coloring characters who visibly carry heritage through clothing, scars, or symbols tends to prompt reflection on the things children themselves have inherited, including family, values, and identity.
How to Color Tanjiro Coloring Pages Well
Plan the checkerboard before filling it. The green-and-black grid covers Tanjiro’s haori across curves, folds, and overlapping layers. On any page where the haori is visible, lightly mark out the grid structure before adding color. Attempting to fill the squares freehand usually results in irregular sizing. Count the squares from shoulder to hem and maintain consistent column alignment.
The green should be forest green, not bright. Tanjiro’s haori green is a medium, slightly muted forest green: earthy rather than vivid. A bright or lime green loses the traditional, worn quality of the garment. A darker, more saturated green than Nezuko’s kimono keeps the two related but distinct.
Demon Tanjiro benefits from cooler, desaturated tones throughout. The transformation removes Tanjiro’s warmth. Cooler skin, slightly greyed-down haori green, and darker sclera all shift the same character into a different register without changing the palette structure entirely.
On the group page, establish each character’s dominant color first. Tanjiro’s forest green haori, Zenitsu’s golden-yellow, Inosuke’s pale blue-grey and ivory skull, and Nezuko’s pink: setting these four anchor colors first prevents any single character from dominating or fading.

His goal throughout the series is to restore Nezuko to human form and defeat Muzan.
What does the checkerboard pattern on Tanjiro’s haori mean?
Tanjiro’s green-and-black checkerboard haori was inherited from his father, Tanjuro Kamado. The same pattern appears on his ancestor, Sumiyoshi Kamado, establishing it as a Kamado family garment passed down through generations. In Japanese textile tradition, checkerboard patterns known as ichimatsu were historically associated with protection and good fortune.
What is Tanjiro’s Breathing Style?
Tanjiro primarily uses Water Breathing, taught to him by his trainer Sakonji Urokodaki. He later accesses Hinokami Kagura, a Sun Breathing technique passed down through the Kamado family as a ritual dance. Sun Breathing is the original Breathing Style from which all others derive, making Tanjiro one of the few practitioners of the most powerful form in the series.
Who is Nezuko, and why does she appear with Tanjiro?
Nezuko Kamado is Tanjiro’s younger sister. After being attacked by Muzan Kibutsuji, she was transformed into a demon but retained her human emotions and refused to harm humans. She accompanies Tanjiro in a wooden box on his back, and the two are inseparable throughout the series.
Who is Sabito, and why does he appear in the set?
Sabito is a character from Tanjiro’s past, encountered during Final Selection training. He saved all the other participants but was killed by the last demon in the selection forest. Tanjiro encounters him in a vision and later avenges his death. Sabito has silver-white hair and wears a distinctive kitsune mask.
