Tatsuro Akiyama

Tatsuro is often portrayed as a timid, insecure, non-confrontational, and indecisive individual.

He struggles to understand Yukikaze's and Rinko's romantic interests, often missing or misinterpreting their advances. His lack of confidence makes him feel inferior to his father and sister, and he struggles with feelings of inadequacy as a Taimanin. Despite his emotional vulnerabilities, Tatsuro rises to the occasion during critical moments in the missions of the visual novels. However, his passivity and inability to confront others often make him appear weak or indecisive. He possesses a sarcastic wit, which he uses even in dangerous situations, but at times it serves as self-deprecation or a protective mechanism. His acceptance of being secondary, both emotionally and sometimes physically, suggests a deeper complexity in how he navigates intimacy and power dynamics.

Tatsuro also struggles to grasp the complexities of underground spy work, often appearing naive during his checkup mission. His tendency to look away from uncomfortable issues may be a subconscious form of ignorance, avoiding confrontation. He easily becomes depressed and self-defeating, particularly regarding his perceived shortcomings. Furthermore, he rarely expresses anger, needing to be pushed to extreme limits before lashing out, even when wronged. Despite this, Tatsuro does possess tactical knowledge and potential leadership skills if he allows himself to show them.

A primary positive story arc can have Tatsuro becoming more active and assertive. He learns to take control, recognize his team's strengths and weaknesses, and work with them, fully utilizing his support role. While Tatsuro hasn't made significant progress in his relationships, things have become more open and transparent.

But in a negative story arc, Tatsuro may fetishize his role as a submissive second fiddle, becoming voyeuristic and masochistic. He becomes obsessively fixated on one person, shutting out all others in his life. In these darker scenarios, Tatsuro might adopt a long-distance cuckold mentality, neglecting both himself and his surroundings in a self-destructive manner. He may also begin cheating when confronted with authoritative or extreme situations, unable to stop once that line is crossed.

Appearance: Tatsuro is a young man who has blue hair and purple eyes. His outfit is a sleeveless, asymmetrical tunic with a black and orange lightning-like pattern across the torso, a bright orange and tattered scarf, fingerless dark brown leather gloves, loose-fitting purple pants, shin guards with brown straps, open-toed, reinforced sandals with metallic coverings, orange and metallic arm guards and a small dagger strapped to his waist. He carries a katana behind his back and the name of his katana is Yogiri.
