Tanishi Kei

Big ambition in a big body! Higa's extraordinary nuclear warhead.

He possesses an extraordinarily large build and confidence that borders on pomposity. Ability, due both to his effort and his god given physique, is the foundation for this confidence. But is his tendency to overestimate his own power and get a little too carried away his biggest weakness?

^With overwhelming power and verbal assaults he pursues and attacks! This is enough to make most opponents lose their will to fight.

Large family unit with many siblings.

A big family cultivates tenacity and a competitive spirit.  For Tanishi, the 5th son of 9 siblings, every day is a competition.  The tenacity to outwit others is an ability which would naturally develop in such an environment.

^He is adept at reading both the enemy's psychology and the flow of the match.

Divining for Tanishi!!

Past life divination: Western soldier

The influence that Tanishi's personality takes from his past life is, basically, that he' s a short tempered, aggressive type.  He also has a sadistic side; he usually aims to attack his opponent's vital points.  Although at first glance he pretends to be obedient to superiors, the opposite is true;  he is on alert, planning for his opportunity to one-up them.  However, he feels a deep affection for the people close to him, such as family and friends.  If those particular people are in a crisis he will come to their aid, brimming with chivalrous spirit and willing to put his life on the line to  protect them.
