General Synopsis
Tanjirou Kamado lives with his impoverished family in a remote mountain. As the eldest son, he took on the responsibility of providing for his family after his father’s demise. On a frigid winter day, he descends to the local village to sell charcoal. Forced to spend the night in the house of a peculiar man due to nightfall, he learns about the existence of malevolent demons that crave human flesh.
