Biography
God Eater
God Eater Burst
During a mission after Lindow Amamiya was confirmed to be alive, a Corrosive Hannibal helped Tatsumi's team defeat some Kongous in the area before attacking them. Tatsumi manages to block the Aragami's first hit but was blown away by its follow-up, knocking him to the ground. Before anything else can happen to them, though, the protagonist arrives on time to save them and chase away the Corrosive Hannibal. As it leaves the area, Tatsumi waves his hand in the protagonist's face, wondering why they were staring off into the distance.

Personality
Original
Tatsumi is a very serious and strict leader of the 2nd Unit. He shows no gratitude if his team members try to help him.
Burst
Contrast to his generic counterpart, Tatsumi constantly displays a cheerful, optimistic personality. He's always polite and, as one would expect from a unit leader, he's a reliable guy. He is also quite open with his crush on Hibari and can be seen flirting with her at the mission counter at the Den and with his dialogue.
Appearance
Original
Tatsumi's appearance is almost the same as Ryo Kagami, except his face is rather serious and his eyes are red.
Burst
Tatsumi is a young adult with dark brown short hair and brown eyes. He wears a red jacket with orange t-shirt, a black belt, white pants with stripes, and black-red sneakers.
God Eater 2
Tatsumi's appearance is roughly similar to the way he looked as of Burst. While still wearing his red jacket, it's been shortened slightly. He now wears a black t-shirt underneath, an orange belt and white pants. Completing the change is a pair of black-red boots to replace his sneakers; his right pant leg is tucked in, providing some asymmetry.
