2546607 : Kanji Tatsumi
SERIES : Persona 4
AGE : 15
SPECIES & GENDER : Human male
OCCUPATION : high school freshman / thug
LOCATION : Terra, above Tatsumi Textiles in Chinatown
PERSONALITY : Outwardly, Kanji isn't all that different from your typical hooligan. He's loud, abrasive, hot-tempered, violent, and not all that bright. He's used to solving all of his problems with his fists and has a hard time behaving himself even in the best of times. This offensive (or is it really defensive?) attitude serves to desperately conceal a softer side to Kanji. In reality he has a kind heart and wants nothing more than to protect his friends and family. Beyond that, he has some rather "effeminate" traits which he's terrified of revealing to the world. Namely that he's actually very artistic and loves to sew, and also that he finds himself attracted to some men, leading to a suppressed suspicion that he might be gay. He buries that side of himself and refuses to acknowledge it, to the point of overcompensating. He's obsessed with being a "real man".
APPEARANCE : Standing at 6 feet (183 cm) tall, Kanji has a rather imposing figure for his young age. His build is trim but it's sculpted with muscle, particularly in his chest and arms. He has an all-around rough look to him, his skin covered in scars gained from street fights (an especially notable one at his left temple), numerous piercings, and a tattoo of a skull-and-crossbones on his left arm. He keeps his short hair bleached platinum blonde and swept back away from his face. His expression is typically frozen in what seems to be a permanent scowl. He makes his own clothes, which means they're usually covered in metal spikes and generally more badass than anything most kids would wear around Terra.
ABILITIES : Physically, Kanji is very strong. He's had years of practice beating the crap out of gang members, and when he's not using his bare hands, he loves to pound the shit out of people and/or monsters with large blunt objects such as (seriously) school desks. Inside the TV, Kanji also commands Take-Mikazuchi, his Persona, with an affinity for lightning-based and physical attacks. However in NeoGenesis, his Persona is once again locked within his subconscious and cannot currently be used. Combat aside, Kanji is extremely artsy and creative. He's an expert tailor and also very skilled at knitting.
