“ | I still don't really get what bein' "strong" means, but I'm gonna start by not lying to myself. No more being scared of everyone, hiding my hobbies, staying away from people... Anytime, anyplace, I'm gonna bust right through as my own self! That's the way to deal with that "other me" in the TV world. | „ |

Kanji Tatsumi is one of the main characters and party members in the ATLUS video game, Persona 4 (as well as its 2011-2012 anime adaptation) and its multiple spin-offs.
He is a first year at Yasogami High and, despite his looks, is the youngest of the team (or at least one of the youngest). Around Inaba, he is known for being an infamous delinquent, despite it being revealed he has a heart of gold and is a very sweet guy. He is the second victim to be pushed into the TV World, with him joining the Investigation Team after they rescue him and confront his Shadow.
He is voiced by Tomokazu Seki in Japanese, and Troy Baker in English.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- He rescues Rise Kujikawa and Naoto Shirogane after they pushed into the TV World.
- He aids in defeating the Shadow form of Mitsuo Kubo, a creepy student who kills the schoolteacher Mr. Morooka and frames himself as the murder culprit solely for fame and attention.
- He helps take down Kunino-Sagiri, the form that Taro Namatame takes after fusing with other Shadows in the TV World and saves the protagonist's cousin Nanako Dojima.
- He helps in defeating Tohru Adachi, the true culprit behind the murders, as well as Ameno-sagiri, a spirit that possesses Adachi, and thus saves all of humanity from being turned into Shadows.
- He also helps defeat Izanami, a deity that orchestrated the game's events by giving the protagonist, Adachi and Namatame their Personas, who was following Adachi's plan of wiping out humanity.
- In the updated rerelease Persona 4 Golden, he aids in defeating Kusumi-no-Okami, and rescuing Marie.
What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- Because of his tough-guy persona, he can have a short temper and be kind of a jerk at times.
- He arguably fails the admirable standards, as he kind of just does the same thing as the rest of his team and fails to stand out from within them. However, he joined relatively early on, so he doesn't fail too hard.
