Since Tanjiro usually wears baggy pants due to the fashion of the time period he lives in, I was surprised to find out through this illustration that his legs are pretty slim too. Such a little guy he is
(WSJ Combined Issue 22/23, 2019 Cover, design theme "RPG")
It's so cute when they think about their tiny little siblings being tiny and little (since Tanjiro is barely a year older than Nezuko, he's tiny and little himself in that memory (and also 13 years old in this panel))
(Volume 1, Chapter 2)
The artist... Kamado Tanjiro, clumsily painted himself alonside his koinobori, yet he is still full of joy and whimsy.
(This illustration was done for the WSJ issue 23 of 2020, where various characters celebrated Children's Day)
"I'm the son of a charcoal burner! Cooking is all about controlling the heat!"
It says a lot about Tanjiro that when complimented, he'd rather brag about his cool dad than take the compliment himself. That second sentence is probably a direct quote from Tanjuro, too
(V16 Ch134)
He looks like he's so proud to show off his katana. I like how the way he holds it has a sort of elegance to it. What a pretty boy (even though he canonically is "ugly")

Today I'm here to mourn the loss of Tanjiro's chubby cheeks and gigantic forehead (he's adorable in both versions though)
The anime actually removed many smaller character design quirks. Probably to make consistent animation easier
(Volume 5, Chapter 40; Season 1, Episode 19)
Tanjiro is supposed to get really scary when he gets really angry. So I tried my best to represent that aspect of his in the new comic I'm working on right now
My, I wonder who or what got him this upset though...
I am also delighted to let everyone know that the scarf made it to after the main story, to continue providing our boy Tanjiro with much needed comfort and warmth
(Volume 23 extra ending illustrations)
Tanjiro in Asakusa!
Him wrapping his scarf around his head to deal with the overwhelming crowded streets is really precious.
This is just a headcanon, but since he had the same scarf when little, I like to think his grandma knitted it for him
(Volume 2, Chapter 13 Cover)
"Being bitten on the head feels strange and most people make this face" implies that Tanjiro has done it often enough that he knows what the most common reaction is. Maybe he's a dog after all
(Afterword Illustration for the "One-Winged Butterfly" Light Novel)
He fell...
Hey, did you know that Tanjiro's favourite onigiri filling is ume kombu? That's pickled plums and seaweed!
This has nothing to do with this panel, but I wanted to share this valuable information regardless.
(Volume 6, Chapter 48)
