MuiTan

"helping other people, also ends up being beneficial for you at the end of the day."

- Tanjiro to Muichiro, Chapter 106.

MuiTan is the slash ship between Muichiro Tokito and Tanjiro Kamado from the Demon Slayer fandom.

Canon
They first met at the Hashira meeting, where Muichiro threw stones at Tanjiro for interrupting Odayaka-sama.

They met again at the Swordsmith Village where Tanjiro saw Muichiro being rude to Kotetsu and tried to stop him but Muichiro knocked Tanjiro out. After that, Muichiro squeezed Tanjiro's nose to wake him up and asks about Kanamori-san, his new swordsmith, Tanjiro says he will help him look for Kanamori and Muichiro asks why would he care about, so Tanjiro tells him that helping the people can benefit him too, Muichiro's eyes sparkle and he shows emotion for the first time in years. But both were interrupted by Upper Moon 4, Hantengu, who threw Muichiro away in the forest. Muichiro sees Kotetsu in danger and helps him after remembering what Tanjiro says to him. Kotetsu tells Muichiro to help Kanamori-san as well and in that he encounters the Upper Moon 5, Gyokko who traps him. Muichiro sees Tanjiro tell him that he will not die and things his dad said, then Muichiro remembers that his father's eyes were red like Tanjiro's and manages not only to free himself but also to remember his tragic past, and because of that, Muichiro defeats the Upper Moon 5. When Muichiro goes to Tanjiro, he asks if Tanjiro is ok and thanks him for helping him remember something important as Muichiro remembered his past because of what Tanjiro said.

Looks like after that they became very good friends since during the "Hashira Training", Muichiro was super nice with Tanjiro saying he can go to train with the next Hashira, but when the others demon slayers ask him if they can go too he replied in a very rude form.

When the crow announces Muichiro's death, Tanjiro crys and sheds tears over the death of an important person.

Fanon
MuiTan is very well received within the fandom. People usually start ship them after the scene in chapter 132, the fandom seems to likecreating memes with this scene. Tanjiro is really an important person to Muichiro and that's why Muichiro is always nice to Tanjiro. has often fanarts with Yuichiro - Muichiro's twin brother - being jealous of his brother and not approving of their relationship

The ship has some rivals like TanKana (which is canon) or InoTan.
