A 16 year-old
from Hiroshima, Japan, Tatsumi is the
youngest student at Meikyokan. Although not a member of Kage, he has lived
among them most of his life. His novice swordsmanship is put to the test when
he attempts to escape the compound. In Bushido Blade 2, he is a member of the Narukagami. He's highly skilled in using two swords at once.

Tatsumi really reminds of of Takumi from Initial D... or
Kyo Kusanagi. Almost seems intentional. Them 90's high school kids and their mushroom haircuts.
lol. While drifting cars and
samurai fighting aren't exactly alike, the way Tatsumi's big eyes are drawn is
definitely reminiscent of Takumi... not to mention his hair in some images. Other than that, TATsumi is a pretty standard good guy design. Not too interesting, but not bad.
For a "young fighter" archetype... Tatsumi was pretty cool in
Bushido Blade. His blue Gakuran school uniform works for him, although his
odd yellow & black outfit is pretty damn ugly. (I'm guessing that one was meant to appeal to Western audiences?
lol.) His moveset in Bushido Blade 2
contained some pretty unique moves (including some epic double katana techniques). Overall, he was a pretty solid all-around character.
