Tanjiro is the main protagonist of the anime: Kimetsu no Yaiba (also known as Demon Slayer).
He has a scar on his head, and he's also part of the Demon Slayer Corps, and his job is to slay demons.
His journey starts off with a demon killing and eating his family, and only his sister Nezuko surviving. Nezuko turns into a demon, however, and attacks Tanjiro. After a bit, however, she stops attacking and decides not to eat him, for whatever reason.
Tanjiro is a very kind person and takes care of his sister well.
Yo you see that awesome Water Breathing and Total Concentration move that Tanjiro did? So badass!

Tanairis 

Amazing. She is tougher than she looks. A self-dependant woman. She is smart, funny, and more beautiful than she gives herself credit for. She will make you wonder why there aren't more people like her in the world and what took you so long to find her.
We all look for a tanairis in our life.

Kamado Tanjiro 

A fellow boy from the anime Demon Slayer with an inhumanly kind and big heart. His family was murdered by demons, and everybody died except Nezuko, his sister who turns into a demon.
He joins the Demon Slayer Corps to find a way to turn his sister back into a human. Tanjiro is (without a doubt) the kindest out of the 3.7 billion people on this planet. If you know this dude and like him, your life is worth the galaxy💖.
P.S his head is harder than the hardest stone on Earth and is enough to take down a whole army with one head butt.
Inosuke: "Oi Kamaboko Gonpachiro (he thinks Tanjiro's name is Kamaboko Gonpachiro)! Challenge me to a head butt battle!"

Kamado Tanjiro: "Are you sure? Your injuries aren't healed yet... you should rest some more until you do some fighting!"
Tanbi is no longer written. Tanbi is a word meaning 'the worship and pursuit of beauty'. It was used to describe the early male/male stories that mainly ran in June. June was heavily influenced by a well-known author and literary critic who used multiple pen names, so many of the stories utilized a high literary style. These stories came to be called tanbi - stories written for beauty and pursuit of beauty only. Tanbi style includes flowery language and uncommon kanji/words, which makes it a difficult read for foreigners.

The tanbi style is mainly a thing of the past. It has been replaced by BL stories - mass written, easy-to-read stories. Even authors known for their tanbi works like Yoshihara Rieko (Ai no Kusabi) now write mainstream BL and no longer use tanbi style. It's probably because tanbi, like its name, pursues beauty both in language and storyline. It's not simple and fast-paced like the modern BL stories.

Tanbi is like shounen ai, no longer written but important in the evolution of modern BL.

Tanbi sometimes is used interchangeably with boys' love by bookstores, but that's an old usage.
Ai no Kusabi was lovely.
