He hits Tatsuki with his bag and tells them that he is not dead, nor was anyone injured. Tatsuki then beings to ask if Ichigo is injured or dead, just as he arrives. Michiru explains that he saw a huge hole in the side of Ichigo’s house in the morning as a truck apparently crashed into it during the night. The two are confused and ask what Michiru means since he always comes to school with Ichigo. Their conversation is then interrupted by Michiru, who notes that Ichigo might not come to school today.

She then starts laughing, which still surprises Tatsuki. Orihime tells her that she can imagine Ichigo’s grimacing face and create numerous humorous faces based from that. Tatsuki is then surprised when Orihime tells her that she thinks Ichigo is funny. She notes that Ichigo is cold, has a weird hair color, is a brat and is short-tempered, and that Orihime could do better. Tatsuki then asks what it is that Orihime likes about Ichigo. When Orihime replies with a confused response, she asks Orihime if she was thinking about Ichigo. She tells her that her mouth is open and that she is too young to be “zoning out.” She then remarks about Ichigo being late. They have been best friends ever since.Īt Karakura High School, Tatsuki comes upon Orihime relaxing. Tatsuki became Orihime's protector and due to her friendship and protectiveness, Orihime gained enough confidence to grow her hair long. Tatsuki and Orihime met in middle school, shortly after the death of Orihime's brother. Ichigo denied it, and Tatsuki believed him, which in-turn made her angry at the kids who were spreading the rumors about Ichigo. As a child, Tatsuki once asked Ichigo if it was true that he could see ghosts. Tatsuki believed that Ichigo was looking for his mother and claims that it was very hard for her to see Ichigo like that. She found him by the river-bank, where he paced from morning till night. Following his mother's death, Ichigo started skipping school, prompting Tatsuki to go look for him. Ichigo's mother died when he and Tatsuki were nine years old. Ichigo also used to call her Tatsuki-chan, but stopped in the 5th grade. They haven't had a single karate match since the day Ichigo beat her. Tatsuki routinely beat Ichigo until sometime in the 6th grade. That was the beginning of their friendship. She claims to be the first person to make Ichigo cry at the dōjō, with one blow to the upper body, which made Ichigo cry in about 10 seconds. They first met when they were 4 years old, at the dōjō where Tatsuki used to train.

Tatsuki and Ichigo are childhood friends. After that, Tatsuki promised to protect her from anyone who dared to make her cry, and she and Orihime became best friends. Tatsuki has done this since middle school, when she beat up some bullies who were trying to cut Orihime's hair, and had already done so once before Orihime's brother died. Tatsuki is constantly protecting Orihime from men looking for a date, as well as the school lesbian Chizuru Honshō (who often approaches and tries to grab Orihime's chest). A tomboyish karate practitioner with dreams of becoming a vale tudo champion and already ranking Japan's second strongest in her age group, her only obvious feminine trait is how she writes her name using hiragana (たつき), though this is because she thinks it looks feminine while she considers the kanji of her name to be unappealing. When they were children, Tatsuki regularly saved Ichigo when he was getting beaten up, as well as cheering him up when he was upset. She has a lot of insight on Ichigo's personality. She stays angry for some time, even after wrecking much of the classroom and Kon flees the scene. She easily hits anyone who annoys Orihime or gives her some sort of deep personal insult, seen when Kon, while inside Ichigo's body, gives her a compliment and apparently kisses her on the cheek. She aggressively uses her great strength to deal with anyone who troubles her or her friends. She is laid back and levelheaded most of the time, unless she is provoked by somebody.

Tatsuki is a tomboy who is bold, outgoing, and extroverted. Ten years later, Tatsuki wears her hair short again, reaching as far as her neck only.

Seventeen months later, Tatsuki's hair is much longer, reaching down past her shoulders. She usually appears in her school uniform or her karate outfit while training in school or at the dōjō. Her hair used to be short and dark, kept spiked out at the sides, in tune with her less than feminine appearance. Tatsuki is a tomboy, and has a very lean frame compared to Orihime's curvier figure. She has a contrasting appearance to her best friend Orihime Inoue. Tatsuki is a teenager of average height with black hair and brown eyes. 4.6 The New Captain Shūsuke Amagai arc (anime only).
