Description
Tatsuhito Ikoma captains the 4th-ranked B-rank Ikoma Squad in Border. He possesses light skin, green eyes, a square jaw, and medium-length black hair slicked back. His signature combat gear includes large rectangular goggles with a vermillion strap, paired with a distinctive high-collared vermillion and black jacket, black pants, thick gloves, and gray-brown boots.
Ikoma exhibits a quirky personality, often fixating on irrelevant details and sharing mundane observations as pointless anecdotes. He rarely displays overt emotion but delights in trivial events. He avoids pre-battle strategizing with his squad, preferring casual chats about random topics, yet diligently studies opponents' combat logs to prepare. He strictly respects combat rules, apologizing for accidental violations. A recurring trait is his desire for popularity, especially with girls, motivating him to learn guitar and consider baking when struggling to casually mention music skills. He habitually remarks that any girl mentioned is cute.
As an Attacker ranked Border's No. 6, Ikoma relies on meticulously analyzing opponents' techniques through log reviews, though he acknowledges when real-time speed surpasses recorded data. He is one of twelve candidates eligible to inherit the Black Trigger Fūjin. His combat style includes breaking the fourth wall: posing for nonexistent cameras after victories, reacting to off-panel praise, and directly addressing the reader.
As a leader, Ikoma expresses concern when losing squad members, noting it diminishes their tactical advantage as a four-person unit. He directs teammates to leverage their strengths, such as assigning the visually appealing member to certain opponents. All squad members except Kai Minamisawa speak in Kansai dialect. The squad frequently gets sidetracked before matches.
His name "Tatsuhito" means "expert" or "master," while "Ikoma" means "raw piece." He likes girls, new cafeteria menu items, soccer, and eggplant curry. His character icon references Star Platinum.
