A must-see for fans. Join us as we discover the secrets behind the story!
The Secret of the Kamado Family
What is the Kamado family? The Kamado family is the family lineage of Tanjiro Kamado, the protagonist of “Demon-Slayer,” who has been a charcoal burner for generations. They were engaged in the fire business and dedicated “Hinokami Kagura” every New Year’s to pray for their safety and prosperity. The “Hinokami Kagura” was a grueling ritual that involved dancing all night long, and Tanjiro’s father performed it flawlessly despite his poor health.
When Tanjiro’s father danced the Kagura, he used the correct breathing technique, which allowed him to continue dancing without feeling tired. This breathing technique would become an important skill that Tanjiro would later apply in battle as the “Breathing Style of the Sun.
Origin of the Breathing Style of Sun The “Breathing Style of Sun” was introduced to the Kamado family by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who is said to be the strongest swordsman in Japan, and who helped his ancestor Sumiyoshi. Sumiyoshi was so impressed with Yoriichi’s swordsmanship that he promised to pass on the “Breathing Style of the Sun” along with his earrings to future generations. Since it could not be used as swordsmanship, the Kamado family passed it down as Kagura (Shinto music and dance).
It is a miracle that 400 years later, with Sumiyoshi’s passion, Tanjiro is able to utilize the “Breathing Style of the Sun” again in battle as Hinokami Kagura. Thanks to this lore, which Muzan Kibutsuji also missed, Tanjiro has been able to exist to this day.
The Secret of the Tokito Family
What is the Tokito family? The Tokito family is descended from Yoriichi’s twin brother, Kokushibo, who was born when he was a human.
Muichiro had never held a sword until he was attacked by a demon, and within two months he was a pillar. This quickness is a result of his original ability and hard work. The Tokito family was also a family that made their living as lumberjacks (Soma-Bito), not as charcoal burners.
The Muichiro brothers and the ginkgo tree Muichiro and his brother Yuichiro continued to cut down trees after their parents died. This tree is thought to be the ginkgo tree. The leaves of the ginkgo tree appear to be split in two, symbolizing the Muichiro brothers. It is also thought that “longevity,” the language of ginkgo flowers, represents Yuichiro’s wish that Muichiro would live a long life.
Relationship between the Kamado and Tokito Families
The color of Muichiro’s father’s eyes In the “Sword Forging Village” section, there is a scene in which Muichiro says, “My father had red eyes just like Tanjiro’s.” It is noteworthy here that Muichiro’s father had red eyes just like Tanjiro’s. What is noteworthy here is that Muichiro’s father’s eyes are dark with round shadows, while Tanjiro’s eyes are bright like the rising sun. This contrast suggests that Tanjiro’s eyes represent the sun and Muichiro’s father’s eyes represent the moon.
This contrast between the sun and moon symbolizes the relationship between Yoriichi and Kokushibo, who were both masters of the Breathing Style of the Sun and passed their skills on to the Kamado family. Kokushibo, on the other hand, is a moon-breathing demon, and Muichiro is his descendant.
Eyes of Tanjiro and Muichiro Tanjiro’s eyes represent Yoriichi, who used the Breathing Style of the Sun, as the Sun, while Muichiro’s father’s eyes represent Kokushibo, who used the Breathing of the Moon, as Yoriichi and Kokushibo were twins, The Kamado and Tokito families are closely related.
The red eyes symbolize the brothers Yoriichi and Kokushibo, and the red eyes of Tanjiro and Muichiro’s fathers are based on this sibling symbolism.
Conclusion
The relationship between the Kamado and Tokito families is deeply connected by the brothers Yoriichi and Kokushibo; Tanjiro’s eyes symbolize Yoriichi and Muichiro’s father’s eyes symbolize Kokushibo, highlighting the connection between the two families. The color of the red pupils is symbolic of these brothers and has a deeper meaning to the story.
