TanKana is the het ship between Tanjiro Kamado and Kanao Tsuyuri from the Demon Slayer fandom.
Canon
Tanjiro and Kanao met for the first time on the Final Selection Exam, being two of the five only survivors. However, they never arrive to interact there, and both of them set off separately.
The next time they meet is on the Natagumo Mountain Arc, where Kanao knocks Tanjiro in order to kill Nezuko. After Kagaya Ubuyashiki orders to capture both siblings alive, she stops attacking her and is seeing helping the Kakushi to rescue the damaged people.
After Tanjiro's trial and Shinobu's decision to keep him on the Butterfly Estate, Tanjiro sees Kanao surrounded by butterflies and quickly recognizes her as the girl from the Final Selection Exam. After Aoi Kanzaki guides him and his escorts inside the place, Kamado stares at Tsuyuri and she does the same.
Kanao, alongside Aoi, Sumi, Kiyo and Naho, helps Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke on their recover training with taking part on the cup game and the tag game. She's always the winner against the three of them, and Tanjiro comments that she's strong and quick. He only starts winning against her on both games when he starts practicing the Total Concentration Breath after Sumi, Kiyo and Naho's recommend him to practice it and he then increases his speed and stamina thanks to it, matching his strenght with Kanao's.
Although they interact on the training sessions, Tanjiro and Kanao never have a proper conversation. This is saw when Kanao looks from the distance at the three guys, holding the coin Kanae gave her to make decisions and struggling with her inner desires of wanting to talk with them but unable to do it by her own. She remembers what Kanae said one day; that she would fall in love on a person who would open her heart, making the coin not useful anymore, and saddened by that she walks away, not before giving a peek to Tanjiro.
The first time they actually talk it's when Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Inosuke are fully recovered and have to head on their next mission. Tanjiro says goodbye to all the people on the Butterfly Estate, and one of them is Kanao, who flips her coin to decide if she answers Tanjiro or not. When she says goodbye to him, Tanjiro asks her why does she flip the coin, and Kanao explains to him that she can't make decisions on her own so she uses the coin instead. Tanjiro says that she should follow her heart, and then he flips the coin for her, saying that the result would determine if she should listen to her heart or not from now on; since the coin lands on head, meaning that she will be able to take her own decisions, Tanjiro gets happy and grabs Kanao's hands to say her that now she can live the life she desires.
Before Kanao could reply to this, Tanjiro waved her goodbye and ran off over the garden, but she asks him how did he do it (thinking that he used tricks), but he only smiles at her and says that it was all a matter of luck. He leaves, and Kanao's eyes shine for the first time while she watches him running (this only happens on the anime).
Quotes

Fanon
This ship is pretty popular on the fandom since it has been hinted by the author as a potential canon on the future. Although on AO3 this pair loses against other ships like InoTan or TanZen, there are a lot of fanarts of Tanjiro and Kanao and is fully supported by almost all the fans even if it's not their favourite ship, and a lot of people is satisfied with their positive interactions.
On fanon they are usually portrayed on a similar way to canon, usually with Kanao being the lovesick and flustered one and Tanjiro the oblivious one.
