Monsieur Tatami is a supporting character in the anime Cutie Honey, known in the original Japanese version as Danbei Hayami. He is the father of two sons: Serge (Seiji in the original) and John (Junpei in the original). The family assists the protagonist Honey Kisaragi, who transforms into the heroine Cutie Honey, in her fight against the criminal organization Panther Claw. Monsieur Tatami is small in stature and possesses martial arts skills that allow him to use disguise techniques. He has a comedic and lecherous personality, often expressing interest in attractive women and proposing marriage to nearly any pretty woman he meets. His role in the story is primarily that of comic relief and practical support, providing Honey with assistance through his cunning and combat abilities. Despite his short stature, his expertise in disguise and hand-to-hand combat makes him a useful ally. His key relationships include his two sons, Serge and John, with whom he lives and collaborates, and Honey, whom he helps out of a sense of camaraderie and perhaps personal gain. Over the course of the series, his character remains largely static, serving as a consistent source of humor and occasional tactical aid. His notable abilities include martial arts, mastery of disguise and impersonation, and a resourceful if unscrupulous approach to problem-solving.
