This is the sword that appeared out of the neck of the doll at the end of Demon Slayer season three's second episode. In the manga Tanjiro has the sword repaired by Haganezuka, who he initially traveled to the Swordsmith Village to find.
He was a genius when it came to swordsmanship and nearly killed Kibutsuji Muzan all by himself. So now, Tanjiro, the protagonist of the Demon Slayer series, has access to a sword that belonged to the best swordsman to have ever lived.
Michikatsu, who snuck around behind their father's back to see his brother, pitied Yoriichi, who was thought to be deaf until he was seven and clung to his mother's side at all time. At some point, he gave Yoriichi a flute he made as a gift.
Tanjiro's ancestor was a good friend of Yoriichi and arguably was one of his only true friends. Therefore Yoriichi gave the earrings as a gift, and since then they have been passed down the generations until they reached Tanjiro.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni is a Demon Slayer from 300 years ago, and the inspiration for Kotetsu's training doll.
Overview. Nichirin Blades can turn into virtually any color dependent on the user and their Breathing Style, however, there is one color that cannot be accessed, which is a bright red color. This color was first discovered by Yoriichi Tsugikuni when he became a Demon Slayer due to his Sun Breathing.
Black is the most mysterious color of all the blades, and is held by the main character, Tanjiro. It is a rare blade and represents the sun; it also holds a theory that the demon slayers who own this sword are not to live a long life.

10 Yoriichi Is A Longtime Friend Of The Kamados
Although it's interesting that all the Kamado men have the same auburn hair and Hanafuda earrings, there's no blood relation whatsoever.
Tanjiro and his father look extremely similar to each other. Fans think that Tanjiro was related to the legendary swordsman since he had the same earrings, and their appearances are similar as well. However, Tanjiro is not a descendant of Yoriichi Tsukiguni.
Many Kimetsu no Yaiba fans deduce that Yoriichi is Tanjiro's father, but that isn't the case. However, Yoriichi is responsible for teaching Tanjiro's ancestors the Hinokami Kagura, which has been passed down for generations.
Yoriichi was powerful enough to defeat Muzan; however, he couldn't do so. That's because he couldn't come down to kill his twin brother, leading to his own demise. Even to this day, Muzan is scared of Yoriichi.
Yoriichi was both the creator of Sun Breathing and a legendary swordsman from the Sengoku period. As a Demon Slayer, he is renowned as the strongest in the organization's history, pairing his breathing technique with his Demon Slayer Mark and ability to see the Transparent World.
