This webpage is a shrine dedicated to a character who's been very dear to my heart for a number of years, Kanji Tatsumi!

But who is Kanji Tatsumi?

Kanji is a character in the 2008 video game Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, and subsequent additions and derivatives. He is the fifth member to join the Investigation Team in their pursuit to solve the mystery behind the murders and kidnappings occurring in the small town of Inaba, and uncover the truth behind the mystery of the midnight channel.
Kanji's introduced as a delinquent with an outlandish reputation that far precedes him. He's frequently mistaken as being part of local biker gangs and often gets into trouble with local authorities. He looks the part of a stereotypical Japanese delinquent; sporting dyed blond hair, pericings, and wearing his gakuran over his shoulders. Kanji's claim to fame in the town is his singlehanded victory over local gangs of bikers.
He's very quick to start fights with people, getting defensive upon hearing any comments from others that he perceives as disparaging of him. Especially any remarks about him being odd, or effeminate.
It's made clear very early on that however that Kanji is not necessarily the menace many would paint him to be. It's mentioned upon his introduction that he picked those fights with gangs because the noise they made was bothering his mother. He's not too dissimilar to the archetypical tough guy with a heart of gold.

Kanji's official bio:

Why do I like Kanji?

I feel this is very difficult to pin down without just answering "everything" but i'll do my best. I feel what initially drew me to him was both his design and sense of style, as well as his struggle with his sexuality. Regardless Kanji's a character I've come to appreciate in a variety of contexts; be it through some of his more comedic moments, to his quiet more introspective moments, to his tough guy posturing. He's one of the most consistenly entertaining and interesting characters in the game and a bright spot in any scene he's in.
To me Kanji is a character defined by contradictions; the most core of which is the idea of the manly guy with an effeminate side, but it extends further then this. He's loud and bold but also can be very sheepish in certain circumstance, he's headstrong and quick to rush into things but he's also a very detail oriented person and notices stuff other's don't. Kanji's a character who continued to suprise me during my playthrough. I like this about him it makes him feel well rounded.
I'm gonna add more but not rn
