Physical Appearance

Kanji is a tall, broad-shouldered young man with a naturally intimidating presence. He has short, bleached blond hair styled into a messy pompadour and thick, dark eyebrows that give him a permanent scowl, even when he's relaxed. His sharp gray eyes often appear cold or hostile at first glance, though they soften noticeably around people he trusts.

He has a muscular, athletic build from years of physical labor and fighting. His posture is usually slouched, with his hands shoved into his pockets, making him look even more unapproachable.

Kanji is known for his punk-inspired style. He often wears black clothing layered with graphic shirts, loose pants, heavy boots, chains, rings, and earrings. His outfits are practical but expressive, reflecting both his rebellious image and his desire to stand out without caring about trends.

Despite his rough appearance, his hands are surprisingly steady and skilled, capable of delicate embroidery, sewing, knitting, and crafting intricate stuffed animals. This contrast between his intimidating exterior and his gentle craftsmanship often surprises people who get to know him.

His facial expressions are highly expressive despite his attempts to hide his emotions. He blushes easily when embarrassed, averts his gaze when flustered, and unconsciously scratches the back of his neck or rubs his head whenever he feels awkward.

Personality

Kanji Tatsumi is a third-year student at Yasogami High School with a fearsome reputation as a delinquent. His dyed blond hair, piercings, slouched posture, and intimidating glare make most people avoid him before they ever get to know him. Rumors about him exaggerate his violent nature, but beneath his rough exterior lies someone deeply compassionate, awkward, and emotionally vulnerable.

Kanji struggles with insecurity, especially regarding how others perceive his masculinity. Growing up enjoying sewing, knitting, plush toy making, and other crafts traditionally seen as feminine, he became defensive after years of ridicule and misunderstanding. As a result, he often hides his interests behind aggression and intimidation.

Despite his temper, Kanji is not cruel. He dislikes hurting innocent people and often becomes angry only when he feels threatened, embarrassed, or when someone insults the people he cares about. His bark is much worse than his bite.

He is incredibly loyal. Once someone earns his trust, Kanji becomes fiercely protective and dependable. He has difficulty expressing affection directly, preferring actions over words. Compliments make him flustered, and emotional conversations often leave him stumbling over his own words.

Kanji is surprisingly perceptive when it comes to people's feelings, although he rarely realizes it himself. He values honesty above almost everything else and despises fake behavior or manipulation.

Although he has grown more comfortable with himself after facing his Shadow, traces of insecurity still remain. He occasionally second-guesses himself, especially when someone comments on his hobbies or appearance.

Overall, Kanji is rough around the edges, emotionally sincere, unintentionally funny, dependable, and much kinder than his reputation suggests.
