Bio
Tatsumi is a young fighter who has set out along with two childhood friends to make a name for himself and earn money for his village. In the opening of the story, he meets a young lady who cons him out of his money, and later is taken in off the streets by a wealthy girl named Aria. The mansion is soon attacked by a group of assassins known as "Night Raid", and after a struggle, the girl who conned Tatsumi out of his money earlier shows up, a member of Night Raid herself. She interrupts the fight between Tatsumi and Akame, and reveals that Aria is actually a sadist who tortures innocent people, including Tatsumi's friends he left the village with. Knowing the truth, and furious at the death of his friends, Tatsumi slays Aria himself. Night Raid and particularly Leone (the con girl) are impressed by his potential and officially invite him to join their group of assassins. After considering their offer, Tatsumi accepts his new life in the killing trade.

Equipment and Skills
Tatsumi wields a short sword and initially does not possess a teigu. His skills in battle are recognized first by Leone and later by the rest of Night Raid, who serve as his mentors. During the mission on the Cruise ship, a poisoned and dying Braht entrusts his Teigu, Incursio, to Tatsumi.

Tatsumi's skill in battle at the start of the story has been shown to be quite formidible. He was able defeat an Earth Dragon, a dangerous First Class Risk Species, with ease. He has demonstrated the ability to easily cleave foes in two, shown when he slain Aria in the first chapter to avenge his tortured friends. Later on, following Braht's death, Tatsumi trains himself even further in order to fully master the Teigu that Braht gave to him. As of presently, Tatsumi is now capable of untilizing the Incurso's auxiliary armament, Neuntote, along with being able to activate and use the armor at will for extended periods of time.

Due to his training with Braht he becomes aware of his surrounding and leaves few blind spots, he also learns to control his emtions buring both battle and in public.( something that saves him twice).
