Tanjiro didn't become a Hashira after killing Enmu because he wasn't a high enough rank (Kinoe) and lacked the full skill/independent achievement required; killing a Lower Moon wasn't enough to bypass the strict promotion rules, which also demand solo victories and a higher initial rank, making his strong team effort insufficient for instant promotion despite his potential.
The reason Tanjirou didn't become a Hashira is because he never defeated any demon moons on his own.
Tanjiro is not a Hashira within the Demon Slayer Corps. Officially, the highest rank he attains is Hinoe, the third highest position within the Corps.
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.
One of the reasons people might consider Shinobu the "weakest" Hashira is because, unlike the others, she can't behead demons, which is usually the easiest way to kill them. Instead, she uses poison to defeat them.
Sanemi and Obanai rank low as their actions and abrasive personalities make them less likable.
Shinobu Takatsuki (高槻 忍, Takatsuki Shinobu) is a gay character from Junjou Romantica.
Kaigaku and Zenitsu are not blood relatives but were disciples under the same mentor, Jigoro Kuwajima.
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.
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.
Yes, Tanjiro lived past 25, marrying Kanao Tsuyuri, having children, and dying of old age, proving he was an exception to the 25-year lifespan curse of the Demon Slayer Mark, likely due to his Sun Breathing lineage and being the successor to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, notes ComingSoon.net and this YouTube video. While Muzan predicted his early death due to the mark, manga epilogues show Tanjiro surviving and living a full life, unlike other marked Demon Slayers like Giyu and Sanemi who died at 25, according to discussions on Reddit, Quora, and this Reddit post, confirms this Reddit post.
So meet Seijuro Koizumi. He's the 'sun' Hashira! Despite his title he doesn't use Sun Breathing. Instead he uses Solar Breathing.
Zenitsu, in his battle against Kaigaku, showed us that he has already reached the level of a Hashira.
No, Tanjiro does not die in Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Part 1. The movie featured three major battles that pit the Demon Slayers against Muzan's Upper Ranks. The final battle centers on Tanjiro and Giyu, the Water Hashira, fighting Akaza, Upper Rank Three.
After undergoing and completing Hashira Training, Inosuke has undeniably polished his swordsmanship skills to the level of a Hashira by the time of the events within the Infinity Castle, allowing him to fight and defeat hordes of demons that were as strong as the Lower Ranks, as well as go toe-to-toe with the Upper ...
The blade of the Kamado Tanjiro's sword is forged from high-quality 1045 carbon steel, known for its excellent balance of strength, toughness, and durability. It features a distinct black hue, reminiscent of the night sky, symbolizing Tanjiro's Water Breathing technique and the fluidity of his fighting style.
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.
Inosuke Hashibira
He typically wears the head of his deceased boar mother as a mask. Despite his brutish exterior, he is a highly capable combatant. He eventually becomes a close ally to Tanjiro and his companions. Following the disbandment of the Demon Slayer Corps, he marries Aoi Kanzaki.
Kanae Kocho, Kyojuro Rengoku, Tengen Uzui, and Shinobu Kocho were the only Hashira of the Taisho Era to never awaken the Demon Slayer Mark. In Tengen's case, it was because Tanjiro had not yet awakened his Demon Slayer Mark, and as such there was no precursor he could come into contact with to help activate it.
There's no single "worst" character as it's subjective, but common candidates for most disliked or annoying include Muzan Kibutsuji (pure evil), Doma (charming but psychopathic demon), Kaigaku (betrayer), and sometimes even heroes like Zenitsu (due to his loud, fearful nature) or abrasive Hashira like Sanemi and Obanai for their personalities.
Kaigaku, Zenitsu's former Thunder Breathing classmate, is the weakest of the Upper Moons. Despite his impressive speed and combat versatility, he lacks experience with his Blood Demon Art. He is placed as the current Upper Moon 6 after the defeat of Gyutaro and Daki.
Gyutaro and Daki (formerly known as Shima Ume when she was human) were siblings who grew up in poverty after their mother died.

Kiss-Shot, the 'first name', is a reference to the fairy tale of cursed princesses being healed by a kiss from a prince. This also mirrors Araragi, who saved her from death, and became her 'prince'.
megumi is canonically pansexual!! It's heavily hinted at, but I don't know if I'd call it canon per se ... Gege has never confirmed it themselves or in the manga.
