Well, T&T are my fav shinigamis (in particular Tats), I really like Watari and Hisoka too, but these 2 (especially Tats-san) are a riot!

Interesting facts - Mother was a noble who eloped with a commoner (see Book 5) but could not adapt. There are some hints that Tats had killed her to end her sufferings. On a lighter note, Tats has a secret stash hidden somewhere (see the end of Book 6 - when Tsu confronted him about $ and book 8 in which he paid for Tsu's hotel room)

For more info on Tats, check out the Kage page, gotta love (I quote) "our money grubbing accountant" and her "You Know You Love Tats Too Much When ..."

Shinigami (also secretary to Konoe but rumored to be the real head) - Seiichiro Tatsumi

 

Birthday - 27 December ?
Birthplace - unknown
Eyes - Blue

 

Blood group - A
(same as me heh heh. 'A' blood people are supposed to be obedient, careful, sympathetic, willing to compromise, honest and loyal but the truth be told if it would appear that we're money-grubbing, sarcastic and competitive. J )

 

Favorite foods - Tofu i.e. beancurd - yummy *salivate* :} drool ... (my fav too)

Special skill - Shadow skill (only he and his teacher know the skill) and an extremely sarcastic demeanor

Weakness - Tsuzuki's tears, self-loathing and horrible inferior complex, girls and finding out money is being wasted.

 


Shinagami - Asato Tsuzuki

 

Birthday - 24 February 1900
Birthplace - Tokyo
Eyes - Purple

Blood group - B

Favorite foods - Apple pie and other sweet stuff (definitely not a 'savory over sweet' guy)

Special skills - Ability to call 12 shikigamis

Weakness - Guilt over job as a Shinigami (very prone to suicide and depression), too trusting of people and food in general

Present partner # 4 - Hisoka

Strange encounters - Was turned into a child version after drinking Watari's medicine. Was possessed at one point by a very powerful demon, the General (book 2) but on vanquishing him is now considered the new General. Accordingly, Tsu is now sought by other demons who seek to defeat him and acquire the title of General as well as the demon king who wants Tsu on his side.

Interesting information - Had strange purple eyes even as a "human" child. The heads in the Meifu (Enma-chou), the demon world and M take a great interest in him. For another, even tho' it appeared at first the Earl was lusting over him in a comical way, it turns out that Tsu is a very special shinigami. According to M's records, which he obtained from his grandfather who was Tsu's doctor, Tsu could have not been human even before he died (how the heck do you look 26 even at old age?).

I really love this manga and its characters but the way Tatsumi bullies Tsuzuki is indescribably delicious. I wish I had a buddy to bully as Tats. Okay, in books 1 to 3 Tatsumi did little bullying, but come book 4, that's where I say 'cameras roll!'
