History Characters / GenshinImpactAratakiItto

* HoYay[[invoked]]: In-Universe. Itto has a very loud crush on Ms. Hina, claiming to be her number one fan. While he's too dense to make the connection that Gorou is actually the ghostwriter for Ms. Hina, he comments that Gorou makes him all warm and fuzzy inside, as if he understands his innermost feelings. Though he worries it might be kind of weird as he barely knows anything about Gorou. All the while unaware that the crush he's been exchanging letters with is indeed him {{Disguised in Drag}}. This gets boosted even further by their symbiotic gameplay mechanics when they're both in the same party.

* UnknowinglyInLove: Itto feels warm fuzzy butterflies around Gorou, something about him is familiar and makes Itto feel like he could tell him anything. ''Whatever that means.''

* TattooAsCharacterType: He has thick, deep red tattoos going along much of his upper body as well as his arms and hands, though while they're fitting for a gang member and someone who's very strong, they're more evocative of him being an {{oni}}.

I'll respond to whichever one you choose, I promise! Hehe, you're welcome."''-]

* BigShutUp: His response to [[spoiler:Takuya insisting that Itto leave him in the collapsing bandit hideout and save himself]].

* SweetPollyOliver: a {{Zig|Zagging Trope}}-zagged male example; He has a crush on Ms. Hina who is actually Gorou {{Disguised in Drag}}. Although not even Gorou is aware of the genderbent persona Yae Miko designed for him. Gorou nonetheless seems to act as a {{Closet Key}} for Itto who feels a strong pull toward Gorou, even if he can't quite put his finger on why.
* TattooedCrook: Fittingly for both an oni and gang leader, Itto has thick, deep red tattoos going along much of his upper body.

** In Heizou's Hangout Event where he's supposed to play a con victim in a short play, his character ends up narrowly avoiding handing over his hard-earned money by questioning how a Doushin can get paid enough to get the Shogun out of a hostage crisis and sponsor a Miss Hina book[[note]] part of the scam involved presenting Itto, who's playing the Doushin, with ransom notes requesting 200,000 and 300,000 mora respectively, with Itto's pay in the play being 500,000[[/note]]. If the Traveler encourages him to follow his heart, Itto will come to the conclusion that ''his character is the conman'' and his paycheck is a fake he made. He then proceeds to have a "HeelRealization" and tells Etsu and Iba, his fellow actors who are playing the actual con artists (and themselves real-world con artists who had to participate in exchange for a commutal of the former's sentence and enough monetary compensation for latter to fund his granddaughter's overseas travels), that he'll get a real check to pay them with, much to their bafflement. Heizou, who's serving as the narrator, notes that Itto avoided getting defrauded in a rather unconventional manner.

* TrueCompanions: A firm believer in this. Whether he's known you for fifteen years or fifteen minutes, if he's decided you're part of the team then you're getting the full package from the one and Oni. He doesn't like infighting very much, so when things get heated between teammates his first instinct is to do something shocking to break the tension. In ''Perilous Trail'', when Yelan and Xiao start arguing about Xiao's risky plan to use all his might to tear and hold open a rift in reality that ''might'' allow everyone else to escape at the cost of leaving Xiao behind, Itto interrupts them by [[spoiler:using all ''his'' strength to bust a hole the wall under the slightly-mistaken belief that this would do the job]], with Shinobu explaining this to not be a sacrifice but merely a duty, and that Itto trusts that they'd take him with them when they make their escape.

* UnskilledButStrong: As a Geo Vision holder, Itto can't do any reaction other than Crystallize, and his Talents are pretty basic other than his mechanically unusual ChargedAttack. But his Elemental Skill hits ''hard'', and his Burst boosts his damage off the roof, fitting his combat philosophy of simply hitting hard.

* WisdomFromTheGutter: Believe it or not, there are a few life lessons to be learned in the Arataki Gang:
** Itto is the way he is partly because he refuses to be anything but himself. This stubbornness often gets him into trouble, but he and his gang are all content with it. Shinobu sticks by his side despite her talents because, to her, a chaotic yet free-wheeling life with the gang is more fulfilling than a cushy yet restrictive job as a shrine maiden. Contrast Takuya, [[spoiler: who compromised his values and morals out of desperation to give the Blue Oni a better living standard only to end up miserable for it.]]

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: The cow that he throws in his Elemental Skill is named "Ushi," [[ADogNamedDog the Japanese word for Cow]].

* SmiteMeOhMightySmiter: Whenever there is lightning, Itto responds by daring the Electro Archon to strike him [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu while talking smack]].
-->'''Itto:''' Hey! Raiden Shogun, is that you? Well, guess what -- you're not the boss of me. Uh-huh, that's right, you heard me! Go ahead, strike me down!

While he's too dense to make the connection that Gorou is actually the ghostwriter for Ms. Hina, he comments that Gorou makes him all warm and fuzzy inside, as if he understands his innermost feelings.

This gets boosted even further by their symbiotic gameplay mechanics when they're both in the same party.

* SuperGullible: In line with his status as a DumbMuscle, Itto can be rather easily tricked, such as in "The Almighty Arataki Great and Glorious Drumalong Festival", where he ended up buying a regular old drum for 80,000 Mora, with even his ever loyal Gang realizing that he got duped. Tellingly, in a branch of Heizou's Hangout Event where you help him set up an anti-fraud event, the Traveler and Paimon are quick to suggest Itto as someone to play the scam victim in the short play. Then, as if to add insult to injury, Heizou got him to agree to it in the first place by showing him a picture of what appeared to be an Onikabuto, only for the real thing to turn out to be a figurine.

* {{Sweet on Polly Oliver}}: a {{Zig|Zagging Trope}}-zagged male example; He has a crush on Ms. Hina who is actually Gorou {{Disguised in Drag}}. Although not even Gorou is aware of the genderbent persona Yae Miko designed for him. Gorou nonetheless seems to act as a {{Closet Key}} for Itto who feels a strong pull toward Gorou, even if he can't quite put his finger on why.

* {{Unknowingly in Love}}: Itto feels warm fuzzy butterflies around Gorou, something about him is familiar and makes Itto feel like he could tell him anything. ''Whatever that means.''

--->'''Raiden Shogun:''' ''(About Arataki Itto) '''Who?'''''

* IntelligentGerbil: Despite not being able to talk in human speech, Ushi is smart enough to have thoughts, give some insight and comments. Itto is the only one who can understand him, thought.

* TheTroublemaker: Arataki Itto, leader of the Arataki Gang, is infamous for this. He isn't malicious or the like, but his ego, silliness, and (almost literal) bull-headedness often land him and his gang in hot water. [[HypercompetentSidekick His deputy Shinobu]] often has to rein him in or bail him out of the local jail.

[[Characters/GenshinImpactSnezhnaya Snezhnaya]] ([[Characters/GenshinImpactFatui Fatui]] | [[Characters/GenshinImpactHarbingers Harbingers]] | [[Characters/GenshinImpactTartaglia Tartaglia]])\\

The boisterous, eponymous leader of a gang of miscreants, as well as an oni, a race known for their ferocity, who had his Vision taken by Kujou Sara prior to the Traveler's arrival at Inazuma. He often posts ridiculous demands for a rematch against Sara on Inazuma's bulletin boards, even long after recovering his Vision.\\
