Tanjiro Kamado is one of those characters who gives you plenty to work with on a coloring page. His checkered haori, Nichirin sword, hanafuda earrings, forehead scar, and Water Breathing techniques all have details that are fun to color without making every page feel the same.
I put together 20 Tanjiro Kamado coloring pages with a mix of sword fights, Water Breathing scenes, quiet moments, portraits, training scenes, and a few pages with other familiar Demon Slayer characters.
Some pages focus closely on Tanjiro, while others use forests, snowy mountains, flowers, water, and action effects to give you a fuller scene to color. There is also a chibi Tanjiro page if you want something a little lighter after working on the larger action scenes.
Select the page you like, download it, print it, and start coloring.

A Mix of Tanjiro Scenes to Color
One reason Tanjiro works so well for coloring pages is that his design changes a lot depending on the scene. A calm portrait can focus on his hair, scar, earrings, uniform, and haori. An action page brings in the sword, moving fabric, water waves, flames, leaves, and stronger poses.
The Water Breathing pages are especially fun if you like experimenting with different blues. You can keep the water close to the colors seen in Demon Slayer or try your own combination with turquoise, dark blue, pale blue, and white.
The flame scenes give you a completely different palette. Reds, oranges, yellows, and warm browns can make the sword effects stand out against Tanjiro’s darker uniform and checkered haori.
Several pages also have outdoor backgrounds, including forests, mountains, trees, flowers, and snow. These areas give you room to use softer colors around Tanjiro instead of filling the whole page with the same strong shades.
Coloring Tanjiro’s Checkered Haori
Tanjiro’s haori is probably the most recognizable part of his outfit, and the large checker pattern makes it satisfying to color.
For the familiar look, alternate dark green and black squares. If you are using markers, coloring every green square first can help you keep track of the pattern before filling the remaining sections.
You can also make your own version. Dark blue and gray, red and black, purple and navy, or two shades of green can all work well while keeping the checker design clear.
Colored pencils are useful around the folds because you can press lightly near the center of each square and add a little more color near the edges. The page still looks clean, but the clothing gets some depth without needing complicated techniques.
Ideas for Coloring the Water Breathing Pages
Water effects give you plenty of freedom because every wave does not have to use one flat blue.
Start with a light blue across the main sections of the water. Add darker blue around the curves and lower edges, then leave a few areas white to suggest foam. A turquoise pencil or marker can also work between the light and dark blues.
For pages with a large water dragon, try giving the dragon slightly darker colors than the surrounding waves. It will be easier to see the shape of the dragon without adding heavy outlines yourself.
The background can stay fairly quiet on these pages. Pale mountains, soft gray rocks, light green trees, or a simple blue sky allow the Water Breathing effect to remain the main focus.
Coloring the Hinokami Kagura Scenes
The Hinokami Kagura pages work well with warm colors. Start with yellow close to the center of the flame shapes, move into orange, then use red around the outer areas.
You can keep Tanjiro’s clothing close to his usual colors so the fire has a stronger contrast. Another option is to use warmer shades throughout the entire page, including brown trees, orange leaves, or a pale sunset sky.
If you are using colored pencils, blending yellow into orange is easier if you start with the lightest shade and slowly add darker colors. Markers give a stronger result, so testing the colors on another sheet first can help if you want the transitions to stay controlled.
Pages With Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke
A few pages bring other Demon Slayer characters into the set, which gives you a wider range of colors to use.
The Tanjiro and Nezuko pages can use softer background colors, especially if you want the sibling scene to feel calmer. Nezuko’s clothing brings pink into the page, which pairs nicely with Tanjiro’s green haori.
The group page with Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke has several outfits and character details in one composition. Instead of trying to finish the whole page at once, coloring one character at a time can make it easier to keep the colors organized.
You could start with Tanjiro, move to Zenitsu, finish Inosuke, and then color the water and background around them.

Try Different Background Colors
You do not have to color every background realistically.
Snow scenes can use very pale blue or gray around the edges of the snow instead of leaving every section plain white. Forest pages can mix several greens, while mountain scenes look good with gray, brown, green, or even purple in the distance.
The wisteria page is a good place to use violet, lavender, pink, and soft green. Keeping Tanjiro’s usual colors against those lighter flowers creates a clear contrast.
For sunset scenes, try pale yellow near the horizon and gradually move into orange or pink higher in the sky. Even a simple background color can change the feel of the finished page.
Colored Pencils, Markers, or Crayons?
Any of them can work for these pages.
Colored pencils are a good choice for hair, clothing folds, eyes, water, flames, and smaller background areas because you can control the pressure easily.
Markers are useful if you prefer strong, flat colors. Place another sheet of paper behind the coloring page if your markers tend to bleed through.
Crayons work well for larger areas such as skies, mountains, snow, trees, and clothing. They are also a practical option for younger Demon Slayer fans who want to color the characters without spending a long time on small details.
You can mix supplies too. For example, use markers for the main clothing colors, colored pencils for the face and hair, then crayons for the background.
Printing Your Tanjiro Coloring Pages
For everyday coloring, regular printer paper works fine. If you plan to use markers or want to keep the finished page, slightly heavier paper can feel better and may reduce bleeding.
Check the print preview before printing so the full border stays inside the page. If part of the border is being cut off, choose a setting such as “fit to page” or reduce the print scale slightly.
Printing in black and white will keep the line art clear and leave every section ready for your own colors.
Make Your Own Demon Slayer Color Style
You can follow Tanjiro’s familiar colors, but there is no rule that every page needs to match the anime.
Try a winter version with blue, silver, white, and dark green. A fiery version could use red, orange, gold, and black. The chibi page could use brighter colors than the action pages, while the wisteria scene works nicely with softer shades.
Another idea is to print the same page twice. Color one using Tanjiro’s usual palette, then use a completely different color combination on the second copy.
That can be especially fun with the Water Breathing and flame pages because changing the effect colors gives the same line art a very different look.
