I'm Tasuki, one of the remaining Suzaku Seven. I was born in the town of Tai-Tou, Ko prefecture, at the foot of Mt. Lige in Hong-Nan (Konan). I have a mercurial soul, very masculine with a strong sense of responsibility. Hahaha. Also I have a busty and bossy mother, a father who is reserved (a coward), and five older sisters that treat me like dirt.
At the age of 15, I left home and became a bandit. I enjoy brawling, drinking, and flaming Tamahome. I dislike milk and women (to an "extent") I am skilled in martial arts, speed, and controlling fire using my iron halisen (the fan, which later becomes diamond). My best friend,Kouji was also really close to the leader of the bandits, Hakurou, who gave me the nickname Genro. Also yes; I can't swim.
He at first is seen as frank, loud, and a potty mouth. He is often the first choice when it comes to 'Favorite Seishi', very closely followed by Nuriko and Chichiri. He claims to hate all females (This is due to his family- five older sisters, alpha-male mother, and wimp father).
He is a pyromaniac leader of the Mount Reikaku bandits. He is one of the funniest characters in the series (the main comical relief) and also the most sentimental, which fans often find contradicts his personality. Beneath that rebellious, tough, bandit exterior is a sensitive. (even if he will try to deny it).
He is also extremely quick and agile. He loves to joke around and just act like a goof-ball, especially with Nuriko and Tamahome, then later Chichiri. His preferred weapon is a metal harisen that can emit flames when he cries out "Rekka Shien". At the end of the series, he and Chichiri are the only (living) Suzaku seishi remaining in the Universe of the Four Gods.
Tasuki's Personality
Tasuki may have grown up physically, but tends to act like a child often. When the chief bandit (Hakurou) of Mt. Reikaku took Tasuki under his wing, Tasuki found his calling. He started to improve his martial arts skills in order to be like - and carry .. - his mentor as the bandit leader. He also learned (along with Kouji) the use of the iron fan which was changed during the first season into a diamond fan by Taiitskun as a reward, and after that only he could make it spew fire. He reluctantly left his close friend Kouji as the bandit leader so he could help Miaka and the other seishi on their quests. Tasuki is straight forward, simple minded, and quick to pick a fight. Despite that, he is bound by chivalry, yet gets emotional easily. He unfortunately cannot cope with swimming; a few episodes show that Tasuki cannot swim. His usual excuse for it is because he's a "man of the mountains".
However in the Series 2 OVA, he saves Miaka from drowning by that is he pushes along the bottom of the lake in water that only comes up to his armpits. When Chichiri appears, Tasuki is startled into deeper water, where he instinctively began to tread water. Only when Chichiri points out that he can't swim does he stop, resulting in his sinking.
During the series, Tasuki's feelings for Miaka are purely brotherly, but in OVA 2, romantic feelings are shown. While under a spell to, in a sense, " bring out his evil inner wants ", he nearly rapes her until Taka shows up. Tasuki tries to kill Taka, then suddenly yells "I won't betray my friends!" and tries to kill himself with his tessen, ultimately blowing up the whole building. Tasuki would have died in the explosion (which was his intention) had Mitsukake not arrived to save him.
Tasuki's softer side manifests mostly in his realtionship with Chiriko. Though it might seem unusual that someone as rough around the edges as Tasuki is would befriend a child, Tasuki is the baby in his family and always wanted a younger brother. Chiriko's age makes him the ideal canidate to become Tasuki's surrogate younger brother, and likewise, Chiriko's looks up to Tasuki as an older brother. Chiriko strives to be a "manly man" like Tasuki is, so the pair become an unlikely pair in the series.
Harisen/Tessen
This is not a seishi power at first, but after the first failed summoning of Suzaku, Taiitskun appears and gives everybody rewards. Tasuki comments on how his harisen had been turned to crystal, which it had. After that transformation, Taiitskun made it so that ONLY Tasuki could use the harisen.
