After his mother Akeno gave him his signature Hanafuda earrings, Yoriichi realized he received them because his family had considered him deaf.
So the only reason Muzan is afraid of Tanjiro is because of the Hanafuda earrings he possesses, which acted as a reminder of his downfall. nxt. Hanafuda Earrings are a symbol of Sun Breathing users, traditionally passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom.
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.
This technique later became the Hinokami Kagura, which passed through the family for generations. Before Yoriichi left the Kamado family, he entrusted Sumiyoshi with his hanafuda earrings. These earrings became symbolic of Yoriichi's legacy, and Sumiyoshi ensured they would be remembered through his family.
One of the trademark accessories that Demon Slayer fans will recognize are the design of Tanjiro Kamado's earrings. While the earring represent a card game popular in Japan, there have been some controversy over the design. Tanjiro wears hanafuda earrings that have the image of the rising sun over a mountain.

Demon Slayer's season 3's latest episode has left fans on edge with Tanjiro's discovery of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's Type Zero sword.
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.
During episode three we learned that the Yoriichi Type Zero was built by Kontetsu's ancestors more than 300 years ago, during the Sengoku era.
Akaza was also one of Muzan's favorite demons out of all his subordinates. The reason behind this is Akaza's extreme loyalty to his master. The Upper Rank Three demon was always sent away on special missions, something the Upper Rank 1 and 2 were often denied of.
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.
Sumiyoshi was rescued by Yoriichi when a demon threatened his life. Since then Yoriichi often met him and they became close acquaintances. Sumiyoshi would often watch Yoriichi perform the Breath of the Sun and memorize the moves properly.
As Yoriichi spoke of his regret for coming to his house to eat free food, Sumiyoshi tries to remind him that he had saved him and his family, and they owe him great gratitude for it.
For those who have watched only the first season of the anime, they will be surprised to know that Muzan turns into a woman in the second season. He keeps transforming in order to hide his true identity, and he's even known to change into an 11-year-old child to hide from Demon slayers.
The only reason why Muzan hates Doma is because of his insincerity and lack of emotions. This might sound odd, expecting emotions from a demon, but even a demon has to retain such tendencies to keep things in order.
It's true that in later episodes, Muzan also appears as a woman wearing a kimono when he's holding court over other Demons, most of whom are also wearing traditional Japanese clothing. This might have something to do with Demons (or “Oni”) themselves being part of traditional Japanese culture.

Thanks to Somiyoshi, and later on Tanjuro who passed it down to Tanjiro, the world is left with a weapon to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji, long after Yoriichi passed away. Those are ultimately the role of Tanjiro's father, Tanjuro Kamado, in the story of the Demon Slayer.
Some of the characters who have faced Yoriichi and survived
This happened due to a treatment that had gone wrong. While he was being treated, Muzan killed the doctor because he was not able to observe any results.
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.
Tanjiro's connection to Yoriichi is not through blood relation, but through their similar appearances, which is due to the divine nature of Sun Breathing.
