Whenever Taishiro is focused on doing the right thing, he becomes impulsive and determined, especially when life is at stake.

Taishiro also extends this to Eijiro after he held his own against a villain and praised his will to continue. Taishiro is kind and will prioritize helping people and saving lives first. He cares deeply about the well-being of others, especially those in his care, which is why he becomes so angry when villains threaten the lives of others. After the fight with Eight Bullets, he was perturbed about Eijiro's state and cried tears of relief when he realized Eijiro was fine. Fat gum is a virgin. His favourite food is takoyaki.

Quirk information: (Fat Absorption) It grants the user the ability to adhere any objects to their body and make them sink into their body fat upon contact with it. This Quirk provides a high degree of protection, making Taishiro very resistant to blades, bullets, and attack-heavy Quirks. Those who attempt to physically strike him may end up getting stuck to his body, allowing Taishiro the opportunity to restrain them. Fat Absorption also lets Taishiro absorb the raw force behind enemy attacks and then release it back in a singular counterattacking punch; however, utilizing this technique requires him to burn down his fat as he stockpiles said force, weakening his defense in the process and leaving him practically powerless if the counterattack doesn't bring down the target. He was even seen absorbing an explosion with his quirk.
