!!! '''Voiced by:''' Kengo Tora (Kurohyou 1), Takumi Saito (Kurohyou 2)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ukyo_tatsuya.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350: as he appears in Kurohyō: Ryū ga Gotoku Shinshō]]
The main protagonist of Kurohyou, son of Amamiya Taizan/Nogi Tooru, orphaned at an early age after a fire in Champion District broke out, killing his mother and leaving him orphaned with Saeko who was old enough to be considered his legal guardian. Raised by the streets alone, he quickly became violent and temperamental and took up judo classes and excelled in them. Ultimately he get in a schoolyard fight that ends with a student ending up going comatose and Tatsuya being arrested. Sentenced to two years in Juvenile Hall Tatsuya would develop a strong resentment towards authority after his release as he drops out at the age of 17. Doing part time jobs and picking fights with fellow thugs and gangs in Kamurocho like most aimless youth.\\\
Tatsuya soon became a street fighter forced into fighting for the Kuki Family after he supposedly murdered Naoki Toda and stole from him. Tatsuya quickly proves himself and gains the title "Kamurocho's Mad Dragon" for his victories in the Dragon Heat and learns that Naoki miraculously survived and discovers that the events were part of the same fire that killed his mother and how it connects to the politics of the Tojo, the cops and the landowners. He later becomes a professional boxer but returned to the Dragon Heat after a new gang from Osaka calling themselves the Ashura started working for the Nioka family.
----
* AccidentalMurder: He gets involved in the main conflict of the first game after accidentally beating a Tojo family member to death. [[spoiler: Only not really.]]
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the drama, he doesn't actually kill the Tojo member but is [[FrameUp framed for it]].
* AnimalMotifs: Kurohyou directly translates to Black Panther, so it's pretty safe to say it's his motif.
* AntiHero: He's quite moody and violent for a Yakuza protagonist, especially at the beginning of the first game. Thanks to character development, he does lose his roughest edges by the time of the sequel, but he's not exactly as approachable as, say, Kiryu, Akiyama, or even Seijima.
* BashBrothers: Tenma, Tatsuya's friend/rival. Tenma would sometimes be on the receiving end of Tatsuya's beatings but ultimately the only friend Tatsuya has throughout the years. In Kurohyou 2 he regularly fights alongside Ryusho and the other fighters from Dragon Heat.
* BerserkButton: In Kurohyou 2, the angriest he ever gets is whenever he confronts the people responsible for [[spoiler: Makoto's death.]]
* BloodKnight: Like every Yakuza main character, he's always up for a good fight, though he takes it even further by outright looking for physical conflict. Before ''Videogame/Yakuza0'' came along his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WHLp3qrkOQ heat moves]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIv1UTXhlr8 were very]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7xQrFg5bSQ brutal]].
* BrawlerLock: Can engage with most bosses with these.
* BrutalHonesty: He really doesn't mince his words and says what's on his mind.
* BootsOfToughness: One of his outfits gives him these along with a leather jacket and jeans.
* BrokenHero: In the Drama, he is shown to be very emotionally unstable, especially after his sister Saeko's death at the hands of his friend.
* CharacterDevelopment: The first game is about him maturing from his fights in Dragon Heat, going from one of Kamurocho's many street punks to a much calmer and forgiving person who sympathizes with other people's struggles.
* CynicismCatalyst: Saeko in the drama was killed by Naoto, a Drama only character.
* DarkIsNotEvil: It's actually significantly [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] in the first game compared to other Yakuza protagonists, as he starts out as a legitimately violent thug. However, he does become this trope over the course of the game thanks to CharacterDevelopment.
%%When fighting in Dragon Heat, he ditches his civilian clothing for MMA-style clothing including the shorts and gloves

* TookALevelInKindness: He's become a lot more level-headed and disciplined by the second game (though not fully rid of his fiery temper), which leads him to acting like a mentor figure to the other fledgling fighters he encounters.
* WouldntHitAGirl: He was rather enraged by Wardog's tactics during Ashura Hen.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: As per usual with most Yakuza protagonist's he has a few wrestling moves in his moveset, he can do a leg capture, a piledriver, or suplex someone into a railing for instance.

* EncounterBait: Whenever Tatsuya walks around with Ryusho, enemy encounters are increased.
* GuileHero: He shows off his cleverness on multiple occasions throughout the game. The best example is when he confronts Nioka at his own office to blackmail him into turning against Tsurumi. He'd gathered a large crowd of civilians outside the office beforehand, so Nioka wouldn't be able to shoot him and get away with it, as the public would spread the dirt Ryusho had on Nioka.
* IdenticalStranger: Weirdly he resembles Nishitani, when Yakuza 0 would come out 3 years after Kurohyou 2.

* AFatherToHisMen: Ryusho cares a lot about the Dragon Heat kids. Nioka describes him as the type who'd give his life for them. After [[spoiler: Makoto dies]], he drinks himself into a stupor.
* EncounterBait: Whenever Tatsuya walks around with Ryusho, enemy encounters are increased.
* GuileHero: He shows off his cleverness on multiple occasions throughout the game. The best example is when he confronts Nioka at his own office to blackmail him into turning against Tsurumi. He'd gathered a large crowd of civilians outside the office beforehand, so Nioka wouldn't be able to shoot him and get away with it, as the public would spread the dirt Ryusho had on Nioka.
* IdenticalStranger: Weirdly he resembles Nishitani, when Yakuza 0 would come out 3 years after Kurohyou 2.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a rough yakuza patriarch, but he has his kind side and gives Tatsuya multiple chances to back out of helping him with the mess he's in.
