One of the things Tatsu does better than beating the living daylights out of his enemies and surviving sticky situations is cook a good meal! With his brilliant knife skills, life skills, and raw talent, The Way of the Househusband has shown us some of Tatsu’s epic sills in the kitchen! Some of his most well-made dishes include the bento he makes for Miku in the very first scene of the show! Consisting of beautiful omelettes, fluffy onigiri (rice balls) made to look like polar bears, sausages, karaage (fried chicken), and various veggies, the lunchbox Tatsu makes for his wife is definitely one we’d love to sink our teeth into as well! Good thing she forgot it at home!

Later in the first episode, Tatsu is visited by a travelling salesman who is dealing in kitchen knives. Initially terrified by Tatsu, the salesman gets a taste of home when the former yakuza asks to test out his products. With superior dexterity, Tatsu quickly chefs up a hamburger steak meal fit for a king! Tatsu’s abilities in the kitchen even extend to baking and dessert-making too!

“The Immortal Dragon”, Tatsu, is a legend among gangsters and law enforcement alike! His wildest achievement came right before his retirement from the criminal underworld! He is said to have completely smashed the offices of ten rival gangs, by himself, unarmed. His reputation precedes him and not even police officers want any of that smoke! Tatsu’s an overpowered protagonist in nearly every sense of the term, and it’s even clearer when he interacts with other gangsters, especially his former subordinate, Masa.

Throughout the series, we see Tatsu’s love for his wife expressed in so many different, wholesome ways. One of the funniest and oddly heartwarming moments in the series is Miku’s birthday. Tatsu goes out to a video retail store to buy his wife a boxset of her favourite anime series and sings her birthday while presenting a cake he baked for her. The singing was totally unsettling but hey, it’s the thought that counts, right? Another time we see Tatsu’s feelings for his wife is when a hectic time at work leaves Miku tired and drained. Tatsu sets up a footbath, massage chair, and lemonade to help dissipate Miku’s fatigue.
