Early life
Tatsu was born in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, around 1990.[5][6] While he never intended on becoming a manga artist, he had always been good at drawing since from a young age, and had won awards for his work, despite never attending any art school or cram school.[2] He always loved reading manga but mostly played baseball, and only drew pictures like doodles.[7]
In junior high school, he found himself captivated by the action/battle genre(s) of manga, such as Kentaro Miura's Berserk, Ryōji Minagawa's Project ARMS and Spriggan, along with Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira and Kentaro Yabuki's To Love Ru, whose characters he resonated with.[2] His admiration for these authors stems from their art and ability to convey emotion through their work.[7]
