Tatsukawa, Minoru
Summary
Minoru Tatsukawa is a devoted follower of Kumiko within her Yakuza group, standing alongside Tetsu as one of her most loyal subordinates. Both men are deeply concerned for her well-being and keep a watchful eye on her safety. To stay close to her without causing alarm, they operate a takoyaki stand near her school, a position that allows them to intervene if necessary. Their eagerness to serve her is so intense that it occasionally threatens to expose her hidden identity, yet their sole motivation is to assist her. Kumiko brought Minoru into the fold when he was a teenager, taking him in after his biological family rejected him for being underage and leaving him with nowhere else to turn. She referred to him as a younger brother, solidifying his place in the organization.
