10 Tanjiro Kamado -- Height: 5'5", Age: 15, Zodiac Sign: Cancer
Protagonist Tanjiro Kamado is a protective eldest brother who will fight hard to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji and restore his sister's humanity. Tanjiro is a tough and tenacious fighter, but at heart, he is a lover who would much rather provide emotional support for people than fight them. He's even been known to cry for demons as they die.
Being born on July 14th, Tanjiro Kamado is a Cancer, one of the three water signs. Cancer the crab is known for its attunement to mystic energies, so Cancers like Tanjiro can form deep, meaningful bonds with other people. Cancers are also known for enjoying the comforts of home-cooked meals and a quiet, defensive life, like a crab in its shell.
9 Nezuko Kamado -- Height: 5'0", Age: 14, Zodiac sign: Capricorn
Tanjiro's beloved sister Nezuko Kamado was turned into a demon early in the series, but she can restrain her demonic hunger and refuses to harm anyone. Nezuko is also a capable fighter against her fellow demons and even took on Daki in the entertainment district in Season 2.
Nezuko's birthday is December 28th, meaning she was born under the sign Capricorn, the goat. Capricorn is known for its stubborn and tenacious nature against all odds, and sure enough, Nezuko stubbornly holds back her demonic hunger for human flesh and won't even let Sanemi Shinazugawa tempt her with blood.
8 Inosuke Hashibira -- Height: 5'4.5", Age: 15, Zodiac Sign: Taurus
Inosuke Hashibra is a self-taught demon slayer who grew up in the mountains, surrounded by wild animals. He's a hands-on slayer with sharp instincts and an impulsive personality, while his astrological sign doesn't fully match his behavior and lifestyle.
With his birthday on April 22nd, Inosuke is a Taurus, the bull. This earth sign is embodied by the love of worldly comforts and luxuries along with its stubborn nature. For the most part, Inosuke is the opposite, a pragmatic warrior who only enjoys the thrill of combat and has little interest in luxury or relaxation.

7 Zenitsu Agatsuma -- Height: 5'5", Age: 16, Zodiac Sign: Virgo
Tanjiro's loud dandere friend Zenitsu Agatsuma is a practitioner of thunder breathing. With that technique, Zenitsu can move in lightning-fast bursts and slice demons apart before they even know what's happening. Zenitsu later improved this technique so he could even outmaneuver Daki's cloth belt attacks.
Zenitsu's birthday is September 3rd, making him a Virgo, an earth sign. Virgos are all about patient, methodical, and detail-oriented work, traits that Zenitsu definitely needed during his training at the Butterfly Mansion. In daily life, though, Zenitsu feels more like a water sign or air sign than an earth sign. He's not grounded and can be very changeable.
6 Mitsuri Kanroji -- Height: 5'6", Age: 19, Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Mitsuri Kanroji is the energetic Love Hashira who fought well in the Swordsmith Village story arc. In that season, Mitsuri immediately befriended Nezuko as a big sister figure, then bravely faced Hantengu with her love breathing technique to hold him off.
Mitsuri was born on June 1st and was born under the air sign Gemini. This carefree but busy sign is represented by twins because a Gemini is so busy, they need two bodies to get everything done. Like a true Gemini, Mitsuri is easygoing, loves to meet new people, and is flexible enough to take life as it comes.

5 Giyu Tomioka -- Height: 5'9.5", Age: 21, Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Giyu Tomioka is the quiet, stern Water Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps. He was also the first demon slayer Tanjiro and Nezuko met and reluctantly spared Nezuko's life. Later, Giyu became a cold but committed ally to the Kamados, and he's also surprisingly close with Shinobu Kocho.
Giyu's birthday is February 8th, making him an Aquarius, the last air sign of the zodiac. Giyu isn't as idealistic and idea-driven as Aquariuses are supposed to be, but he still has his compassionate side. Giyu also has survivor's guilt and is determined to make up for it no matter what, showing a faint idealistic side that's buried under his gruff exterior.
4 Kyojuro Rengoku -- Height: 5'10", Age: 20, Zodiac Sign: Taurus
The popular Flame Hashira, the late Kyojuro Rengoku, was like a big brother to Tanjiro and Nezuko during their time together in the Mugen Train story arc. Kyojuro defied his jaded father and became a Hashira, determined to prove the worth of demon slayers who risk their lives to protect humanity.
Kyojuro Rengoku's birthday is May 10th, so he is a Taurus, like Inosuke. However, unlike Inosuke, Kyojuro really does embody that earth sign's love of earthly comforts like good food. Tauruses like Kyojuro are also tough, committed workers who will get any job done, even if they're not Hashira.

3 Shinobu Kocho -- Height: 4'11.5", Age: 18, Zodiac Sign: Pisces
Shinobu Kocho is the petite Insect Hashira, using her light, stinger-like Nichirin sword and potent poisons to kill demons without having to decapitate them. Shinobu also oversaw Tanjiro's squad's training at the Butterfly Mansion, where Kanao and Aoi personally coached the boys to improve their demon slaying techniques.
Shinobu was born on February 28th, under the Pisces water sign. Pisces are known for their emotionally charged lives, being mystical enough to absorb other signs' joys and suffering. Sure enough, Shinobu was very close to her sister Kanae and is seething with rage and grief as a result. Shinobu is calm on the outside, but passionate on the inside, in both good and bad ways.
2 Muichiro Tokito -- Height: 5'3", Age: 14, Zodiac Sign: Leo
Muichiro Tokito is the himbo Mist Hashira, a young teenage boy with a formidable talent. He became Tanjiro's co-star in the Swordsmith Village story arc, though he made a bad first impression with his cold, aloof ways. Then he showed his heroic side, saved some lives, and personally finished off the Upper Moon 5, Gyokko.
Muichiro's birthday is August 8th, making him Leo, one of the fire signs. Leo is known for its energetic personality, desire for attention, and capacity for treating life like a giant party. However, Muichiro is calm, stoic, and never draws attention to himself, making him the mirror image of a typical Leo.
1 Tengen Uzui -- Height: 6'6", Age: 23, Zodiac Sign: Scorpio
Tengen Uzui is the flashy Sound Hashira, and he personally led Tanjiro's team into the entertainment district to hunt the Upper Moon 6. Tengen is also a trained ninja with three kunoichi companions, and the four of them fought well together against both Daki and Gyutaro.
Tengen was born on October 31st, or Halloween, under the water sign Scorpio. This sign, represented by a scorpion, is a patient plotter who holds grudges and will find the right moment to act (or sting). This fits Tengen's fighting style more than his loud personality since ninjas are killers, not fighters, patient assassins who overcome foes with a single precise strike.
