Worse still, the sole survivor is his sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a bloodthirsty demon. When he finally arrives back home the next day, he is met with a horrifying sight-his whole family has been slaughtered. On his way back, night falls, forcing Tanjirou to take shelter in the house of a strange man, who warns him of the existence of flesh-eating demons that lurk in the woods at night. One day, Tanjirou decides to go down to the local village to make a little money selling charcoal.
Though living impoverished on a remote mountain, the Kamado family are able to enjoy a relatively peaceful and happy life. Ever since the death of his father, the burden of supporting the family has fallen upon Tanjirou Kamado's shoulders.
