The male protagonist, Tanjiro Yamato, originally lived in the mountains with his family and was an ordinary and happy carbon seller, but one day he returned home and found that his family had been killed, and his sister YouDouzi, although she still had a breath, became an aggressive "ghost".
Ghost Squad swordsman Tomioka Yoshihide originally wanted to punish Youdouzi, who had turned into a ghost, but seeing that the two brothers and sisters were desperate to protect each other, they felt compassion and instructed Tanjiro to find his master Taki Takizo to assist him.
After two years of severe training by Ryotaki, Tanjiro first passed the test from his master, and with the help of Ryota's former apprentices, Sachetaki and Makoto, he successfully split the boulder, and then participated in the final selection, successfully surviving in the mountains where the ghosts were imprisoned for seven days, and officially became a member of the ghost killing team.
