Hinokami Kagura

Dance of the Fire God

日の呼吸・ヒノカミ神楽

Used by Tanjiro Kamado in Demon Slayer

Description

The breathing style Tanjiro's father passed to him as a Shinto ritual dance — actually the original and most powerful breathing style, Sun Breathing (Hi no Kokyu / Breath of the Sun). All other breathing styles are derived from it. Tanjiro eventually masters its Thirteen Forms, which together represent the complete Sun Breathing technique that can destroy Muzan Kibutsuji.

Power & Effect

The original breathing style; basis for all other styles; Thirteenth Form can defeat Muzan

Trivia & Notes

  • Yoriichi Tsugikuni — the original creator — designed it as the one technique capable of killing Muzan
  • Tanjiro has the 'Demon Slayer Mark' that unlocks more of Hinokami Kagura's power
  • All 11 forms of Water Breathing were derived from Sun Breathing
