Tatsumi (龍己 Tatsumi) is the main character of the series, a teenage boy who found Wakasa lying close to the river and is now taking care of him in his own house.[2]
Appearance
Tatsumi has messy black hair and tired golden eyes. He is tall and is shown to have a quite muscular body, managing to taking down a grown man with only a few movements.[3]
Personality
Tatsumi is a kind, selfless guy, who isn't particularly concerned about his new free-loader. Although he isn't happy about the larger water and gas bills, he is a frugal and knows it's not cheap keeping a merman supplied with fresh, warm water. He is very concerned about finances and seems sullen and disinterested, but he actually cares about his new friends.
Usually he will entertain his guests and teach them about the human things they don't understand, but sometimes he's the one who has to reel them back in and snip their (usually Wakasa's) dreams before things get too out of hand.
Background
As a child, Tatsumi spent a lot of time in his grandfather's house and after he died, he stayed to live in the house because it was close to his school.
When he was around ten, Tatsumi fell into a river while he was fishing. He was then rescued by Wakasa, who after being offended by Tatsumi, he threatened him so he will not tell anyone about his existence.[4] This made Tatsumi to hate the water, taking baths and mainly, the slime.
Years later, Tatsumi found Wakasa stranded near a river by the upstream dam and thinking he was hurt, he took Wakasa with him to his house. At the time, Tatsumi didn't seem to remember him and was shocked to find out he was a merman, but decided to let him stay in his bathtub anyway.[2]
