Yes, Tanjiro obtains a Nichirin sword that belonged to the legendary Demon Slayer Yoriichi Tsugikuni after breaking open the Yoriichi Type Zero training doll in the Swordsmith Village arc, though it's later customized with Rengoku's tsuba (guard) and fits his own style. This powerful, ancient blade, hidden within the doll, is what enables Tanjiro to achieve immense power boosts, including turning his blade crimson red during combat, just like Yoriichi's own sword.

Eventually, with Kotetsu's blessing, Tanjiro lands a powerful strike on its neck, causing the head to break off and the body to crumble, revealing inside the doll was a katana over 300 years old.
He sported hanafuda earrings created by his mother as charms when he was thought to be deaf; he later gave them to his friend Sumiyoshi Kamado, who then passed the earrings down to his descendants and eventually Tanjiro as well. As a child, Yoriichi's hair was untied and reached his shoulders.
What is the Yoriichi Type Zero sword? As a Demon Slayer, Yoriichi Tsugikuni carried a fairly standard Nichirin katana - deep black in color, that changed bright red during combat. This is the sword that appeared out of the neck of the doll at the end of Demon Slayer season three's second episode.
The only canonically LGBTQ+ character in Demon Slayer is Suma, one of Tengen Uzui's wives, who is confirmed to be bisexual and polyamorous in the series' databooks, showing affection for both men and women, including Tengen and her fellow wives, Makio and Hinatsuru. While other characters like Mitsuri are speculated to be queer, Suma is the sole officially confirmed character, with her relationship dynamic highlighting both bisexuality and polyamory within the Demon Slayer Corps.
Tanjiro Kamado: Starts with a black Nichirin blade, symbolizing mystery and potential, and later wields a red blade, representing his growth and fiery determination. Giyu Tomioka: Wields a blue blade, embodying his calm, resilient nature as the Water Hashira.
What really makes the earrings scary for Muzan is that he was under the impression that yoriichi died and left nothing behind to succeed him. Yoriichi mentions in a flashback that he failed in life and didn't accomplish anything he wanted to. Then these earrings appear on this boy.
Hinokami Kagura (ヒノカミ 神楽 かぐら , Hinokami Kagura?): Tanjuro was capable of using the Sun Breathing as the Hinokami Kagura taught from his own father, passing down the dance and Yoriichi's earrings to his son.
It serves as a symbol of Tanjiro's exceptional potential and the unique path he walks as a Demon Slayer. The black blade reflects Tanjiro's determination, strength, and his connection to the sunlight that drives away demons.
Demon Slayer enthusiasts are buzzing about the connection between Tanjiro Kamado and the formidable Upper Moon One, Kokushibo. While not directly related, Tanjiro is seen as the spiritual successor to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Kokushibo's twin.
Yoriichi Type Zero (緑壱零式, Yoriichi Zeroshiki?) is a mechanical battle doll constructed by Kotetsu's ancestors during the Sengoku period. According to Kotetsu's father, it was based on an actual swordsman, that being Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
The author of Demon Slayer, Koyoharu Gotouge, uses a pseudonym and prefers to keep their gender private, but official sources and industry insiders have indicated Gotouge is a woman who prefers gender-neutral or they/them pronouns, despite the common use of "she/her" due to the perceived feminine traits in their art. While some speculate about a non-binary identity due to pronoun usage, the consensus points to a cisgender woman choosing anonymity.
After falling into a coma in the aftermath of his battle against Upper Rank Six, Tanjiro Kamado dreams of memories belonging to his ancestor Sumiyoshi. Within them, Yoriichi is seen holding a newborn Sumire as her mother sleeps.

As he sleeps, recovering from the injuries he acquired during his fight with Gyutaro and Daki, Tanjiro sees a fragment of a memory inherited from Sumiyoshi. In it, Sumiyoshi was shown interacting with Yoriichi, who had visited his house during his second child's birth.
Greatly fearful of the man he considered the real demon, Muzan never directly confronted the Demon Slayers again and sent demons to do his bidding for the most part. He remained fearful of Yoriichi even after his death.
The first possible reason is that Nezuko hails from a family that uses Sun Breathing as Hinokami Kagura. Being generationally connected to a community that dances as an offering to the sun gods may have resulted in Nezuko's immunity to the sun. Another theory suggests that it may have been her mutated genes.
Beast Breathing is one of the most unpredictable breathing styles in Demon Slayer. It's so unforeseeable that some of its forms couldn't be seen by the second strongest upper moon and manage to injure and even kill doma. Plus you'll also find out that beast breathing is apparently derived from wind breathing.
Muzan has always been a rational character, but fans believe killing his doctor is the only time he regretted taking a life.
If Muzan could still control Nezuko, he can have Nakime summon her like the Uppers easily, but he can't, because he cannot influence or read her mind like most demons.
Before his physical death, Muzan, who was slightly crying tears after remembering Kagaya's words, was also able to transfer both his blood and his consciousness into Tanjiro's dying body, viewing the latter as the embodiment of Kagaya's final words and reviving him as the next Demon King who is immune to the sun and ...
Unlike the more common red, blue, or yellow Nichirin swords, the Black Nichirin Sword is exceptionally rare. So much so that even veteran Demon Slayers consider it an anomaly.
