Tatara Totsuka

was a member of the Red Clan, Homura. According to Izumo Kusanagi if Totsuka was a fighter things would be easier for their clan.

Appearance
Totsuka was a slim, young man with short, neatly-combed light brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a blue jacket over a white shirt, brown pants and red sneakers. In addition, he wore a necklace and two bracelets on his left hand.

Personality
Totsuka had a calm, laid-back and very friendly personality. He often engaged in conversations with people, even strangers, showing that he was charismatic and somewhat talkative. Totsuka had a habit of constantly recording things wherever he went; while he had stated that he did this during important events, he appeared to do this in his free time as well, whether he was aware of it or not.

History
Totsuka was video recording when he first met Shouhei Akagi, who wanted to join Homura. He explained that when someone was possibly going to join the group, recordings of the event would be important. Afterwards, he introduced himself, and following a surprising reunion between Shouhei and Bandou, Totsuka took Shouhei to the second floor to meet the King. There, they began the inauguration, and Shouhei passed; thus, he was accepted as a member of Homura. Afterwards, the group celebrated.

After several days, it was proven that the relationship between Shouhei and Bandou weren't as amicable as the former said it was. Rikio remembered that it was Totsuka's job to deal with new members, but he said it wasn't necessary that time, as the two were childhood friends. He added, though, that if there were problems they can always consult him.

Later, during a rainy day, Masaomi Dewa came to the Homura bar to inform Totsuka and Izumo of a situation that involved Shouhei. They learn that he was going to save a friend of his, who was currently dating one of the Rakshasa leaders. Totsuka concluded that Shouhei most likely joined Homura just to gain the power to save her. He wonders what they should do next.

After learning the new information, Totsuka went to find Bandou, who explained his actual reasons for resenting Shouhei. Once he was done, Totsuka then hinted that Shouhei was in deep trouble; his words made Bandou quickly rushed to save his childhood friend. Totsuka looked on as his fellow member ran for him.

Sometime after, Totsuka joined his fellow Homura members in the rescue of Shouhei and Bandou from a Rakshasa hideout. He and the others then dispose of the present drug dealers and save the two, as well as Shouhei's female friend. Afterwards, he returned to the bar with the others, where Izumo took notice of Totsuka's increasing passion for photography. Totsuka states that he liked to keep memories alive.

While watching a baseball game between his Clansmen, Totsuka continued taking photographs and video recordings. He attempted to capture a snapshot of You Chitose but the latter told him not to. Totsuka remained oblivious when a woman, Maria Yubikiri, attacked Chitose using her abilities. He wondered where Chitose was going when he fled at the sight of Maria.

Totsuka and Masaomi eventually caught up to Chitose and pulled him into an alley, away from Maria. Totsuka then received a call from Izumo, handing the phone over to Chitose. He and Masaomi listened as Izumo explained who Maria was. Masaomi summarized Chitose's situation causing Totsuka to inquire about their relationship; he was willingly told the nature of their friendship.

Maria then found the three and attacked them, forcing the Clansmen to flee again. While running, Totsuka headed inside an alley, deliberately abandoning Chitose and Masaomi. Outside a closed garage, Totsuka was violently approached by Maria, who grabbed his throat violently, asking where Chitose was. Totsuka asked if she actually liked him and whether that is why she's so upset, as a trickle of blood falls down his neck.

Later, Totsuka returned to the bar where he received a bandage for his neck. He recalled his encounter with Maria shortly before Chitose and Masaomi returned to the building. As they were talking to the others, Shouhei spoke about how, unlike them Clansmen, Strains are unable to build bonds because of their power; to this, Totsuke agreed. That night, he found Mikoto out for a smoke, asking him if something was wrong. Totsuka was told there was none.

On the first of April, Kousuke brought back a young man to HOMRA. Totsuka commented on how it was the first time he'd ever brought back a person, rather than a small animal. He happily added that it was fine, regardless. When the young man woke up, Totsuka tried to put at ease among a group of strangers. He took back responsibility as the peacemaker when the man, Eric Surt, and Yata began bickering with each other. Totsuka would then ask whether Eric and Mikoto knew each other, given Eric's reaction to seeing the Red King, though was told by the former that they were unfamiliar with one another.

Tension continued between Eric and Yata during the following day. He asked Yata if he also though Eric resembled a golden retriever Kousuke had brought to the bar before, one that Yata was also on bad terms with. He reminded Yata of how they took care of the dog until they found its owner. Afterwards, once Eric had finished speaking to Izumo about the strength of Homura, Totsuka offered to let Eric stay with them if he truly has nowhere else to go. This only angers the latter and he storms off; noting on his anger, Totsuka concludes that he hates him now.

Totsuka, Rikio and Izumo spent the rest of the day cleaning up the bar. He later heard an explosive in Mikoto's room and went to check, clearly worried. Totsuka saw that the wall was charred and Mikoto and Eric were present; although, Eric soon bolted out of the room. Totsuka calmly asked whether Mikoto had another nightmare but instead was told to be cautious around Eric, as the King himself felt his murderous intent. Izumo was soon informed of the incident and scolded Mikoto, with Totsuka being among those present.

That night, Totsuka decided to invite Eric to a talk outside a local bus station. He said that he'd like to talk to him about his feelings, which Eric said was something he'd like to do as well.

Plot
Late at night, while recording a video, Totsuka encounters a white-haired man singing on a balcony. He tries to engage in friendly conversation with the man but is shot instead, knocking him down and killing him.
