Name: Ichimura Tatsunosuke
Age: approximately 18-20
Series: Peacemaker Kurogane
Canon: Set against the backdrop of the beginnings of the Meiji era, Peacemaker Kurogane is about the path of one Ichimura Tetsunoske on his way to becoming part of the Shinsengumi, the dangerous and unpopular police of the Shogunate. In this world, you can take some enthusiastic captains as mentors, with a side of antagonists who can't seem to make up their mind if they're going to be your best friends or your sworn enemies, and you begin to approach the lives of the characters in this series. However, despite all the light-hearted situations, there are just as many hard questions about living, honor, and loyalty to yourself, your causes, and other people.
Tatsunosuke is Tetsunosuke's long suffering older brother (Tatsu and Tetsu, for short), who cares for his little brother deeply. Despite being an pacifist, Tatsu works for the Shinsengumi as a bookkeeper, to help support both himself and Tetsu after their parents' death. He's normally polite, if reserved, but with a tendency to panic instantly if a strange situation comes up. Despite this, he seems to adjust well to the Shinsengumi, doing extra chores without protest and weakly going along with the loving abuse of the younger captains. Tatsu has also driven himself to nervous
gastritis by being frighteningly obsessive over Tetsu's well being, frequently stalking checking up on him and often rushing to the rescue, whether or not he's needed. Tatsu just wants Tetsu to grow up a little more and act like he knows what the word "manners" means--is that too much to ask for his poor, abused, nerves?

ICHIMURA TETSUNOSUKE, if you don't show yourself RIGHT NOW I may have to ground you for a month. Do you know the amount of paperwork those big, hairy, purple guards shoved at me at the gate of this leper colony? Missing persons report, alien residential visa, accounting license, family medical history, and even a permit to keep a dog...every last form to be filled out in triplicate and with a hefty fee for processing each one! I managed to sneak away from the guards eventually when they were yelling at someone for looking headless incorrectly. I didn't know there was a right way to do it in the first place!
Now I'm afraid that my hands are going to fall off, considering how cramped they are. I know I've seen a few l-laying around here and there. And some of them still had a pen in their hands...which must be a mistake! I'm making sure I find Tetsu before I go home. I want to make sure he's safe, by my side, with my own two eyes and no one else's! Even if k-kind people are trying to lend me theirs--it won't be necessary, really!
All this trouble--oww--my stomach is rumbling again. How did I get myself into this creepy place? I thought searching the red light district for the captains was the worst, but how wrong I was! Random body parts strewn left and right, birds that seem to be leering, not a single person who will answer my questions or requests--being sent out to a swamp to find missing people has to be the worst request ever. My stomach--ow--isn't going to be able to take much more of this. And my manager is going to dock my pay at this rate, or worse, fire me for taking so long to find my brother, but it can't be helped! If only there was a person I could trust to ask for directions...
Oh, madame! I'm sorry to bother you! Especially since you're the first person with all their limbs intact I've seen in this strange leper colony. And a tad more respectable too, of course. Have you seen my little brother? He's about this tall, hair a slightly lighter color then mine, a unfortunate tendency to cause incidental, but hopefully minor, property damage? Very loud? Oh, you've seen him? W-what? A-ah, that is to say, I'm very thankful to hear that you have some news about him, but there's no need to get quite so close to me, since I'm sure that a normal voice will do just as well as a whisper...a-ah-hah-haaaaaah-mppphhh!
I'm very, very sorry for thinking you were a woman, sir, but I think I hear someone calling my name over there. Yes, you can't see them, so it must be very urgent! I'm afraid that I'm going to have to run now. Oh gods, there was something wriggling down there, too. I'm going to be sick.
Tetsu, when I find you, you're going to be grounded for life if I find out that one of those...men have touched you~!
