* ShellShockedVeteran: From time to time, Tatsu's old life catches up to him in ways that are decidedly PlayedForDrama. When test driving a car, he keeps hallucinating that random people such as a crossing guard and business man are assassins out to kill him. Eventually, Tatsu's forced to pull over and get out of the car entirely.

!!Immortal Tatsu
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/immortaltatsuportrait.png]]

Tatsu is a former yakuza thug who has reformed into the loving HouseHusband that is seen today. He is HappilyMarried to a career woman named Miku.
----
* TheAce: He was one of the strongest members of the Yakuza. Tatsu once single-handedly decimated a rival gang with a lead pipe, which earned him the nickname "[[RedBaron Immortal Tatsu]]".
* {{Adorkable}}: A former gang member being completely immersed in a HouseHusband lifestyle makes for some really weird (and cute) scenes. Especially when he's surrounded by other, more ordinary housewives.
* AffectionateNickname: Tatsu is affectionately called Tatchan/Tacchan (translated as Tatty by the main scanlators, and Tacchan by the official translation) by his wife Miku.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Is usually seen wearing one with an apron over it.
* BadassPacifist: After marrying Miku, Tatsu avoids conflicts as much as possible, although he can thrash someone if they cross the line. Tatsu himself invokes this, stating that he doesn't need to harm someone to protect Miku.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tatsu's tendency to take every mundane task seriously qualifies him as this.
* ComicallySerious: Most of the comedy is Tatsu doing everything while sporting his yakuza swagger.
-->'''Tatsu:''' Hey! C'mon! Pull yourself together, [=PoliCure=] blue ranger!!
* ConfusionFu: When he runs into trouble nowadays, acting so much like his new househusband self catches his opponents so off-guard that they can barely touch him.
* CoolShades: He sports these almost every single day to any place he goes. Even the gym.
* CreepyGood: Tatsu gave up his past as Yakuza but he still has the mannerisms and fashion sense of one, suggesting corporal punishment like yubitsume when he makes a mistake and burying a broken figure in the garden. He is also a bit too chatty about his past experiences.
-->'''Yoga instructor:''' What does this pose remind you of?\\
'''Tatsu:''' It's the "after the boss smacks you around with the flat edge of the blade to teach you some manner" pose.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Tatsu himself states he grew up in one of the most violent parts of the world. A brief flashback indicates that Miku and Tatsu met each other for the first time when the latter had just finished a bloody fight. In later chapters, Tatsu is shown to be very paranoid, implying he is dealing with PTSD.
* TheDreaded: Tatsu's mere presence is enough to deter most Yakuza members. He made an intimidating first impression on Miku's father and the latter is still apprehensive around him.
* FaceOfAThug: Tatsu looks scary enough that every attempt of his to appear friendly makes normal civilians' blood run cold.
* GracefulLoser: Tatsu tries hard to win in a Volleyball match but loses. He exchanges jerseys with the rival captain and the two teams pose for a group photo.
* HappilyMarried: To Miku, they love each other despite their different lifestyles.
* HouseHusband: Tatsu takes care of house duties while Miku works as a designer. Tatsu takes his role very, very seriously.
* KnifeNut: He is really good at handling the knife and can judge its quality. Tatsu's cooking skills are an extension of it.
* MadeOfIron: Takes a two-by-four to the head, and responds by commenting how sturdy it is.
* OneManArmy: On top of the story of how he got his nickname, when his past does come back to haunt him, he manages to fend off his attackers literally without even trying.
* RealMenWearPink: Downplayed; Tatsu likes housekeeping and being a house husband but his approach is more like cleaning a crime scene or completing missions for the clan. His apron is the only thing that can pass as cute.
* RedBaron: Immortal Tatsu, a nickname he got after busting ten rival yakuza's heads with a [[PipePain pipe]] in their headquarters.
* RetiredBadass: Tatsu himself. Most of the comedy is derived from him leaving the lifestyle but not the ways of the Yakuza e.g. treating a roomba like a new recruit to the gang.
* RetiredMonster: Tatsu again; his comments about his past life and his known exploits show he was involved in the messier work.
* RuggedScar: One of his most notable features is the long, thin scar on his left eye. It adds to his scary yakuza look.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Tatsu's relationship with his wife Miku. He is a stone cold ex-criminal while she is career-oriented with a large otaku streak. Best shown when both go shopping together, with him being frugal and her being more willing to splurge money.
* SlasherSmile: Tatsu's smile always suggests he's about to brutally murder someone.
* SupremeChef: He attends cooking classes and is known to excel in that field. He can prepare food ranging from simple Japanese dishes to refined Caneles. Miku's mother finds that very impressive about him.
* TattooedCrook: Or ex-crook, as the case may be. Like any good Yakuza, Tatsu has elaborate tattoos all over his back and arms. He makes a concentrated effort to cover them up these days.
* WhenSheSmiles: Most of his smiles are terrifying, especially in the exercise class chapter, but now and then something goes right in domestic life and he has a much cuter smile.

!!Miku
[[quoteright:159:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_20190115_115955.JPG]]

Miku is Tatsu's wife and a career woman working as a designer.
----
* AffectionateNickname: Miku gives one to Tatsu by calling him Tatchan/Tacchan (translated as Tatty by the main scanlators, and Tacchan by the official translation).
* BadassAdorable: While it is played for comedy, she once clotheslines Tatsu so hard it sends him ''flying several meters through the air''.
** Tatsu mentions that Miku can sometimes be scary when she is being frustrated.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Miku seems to make sure Tatsu acts at least somewhat normal. The only time Miku acts out is when she's around things related to [=PoliCure=] - and that time when she and Tatsu had nearly the same reaction to a cockroach in the apartment.
* {{Fangirl}}: She likes the [=PoliCure=] tv show and fawns over the merchandise.
* GenkiGirl: Downplayed. Miku just seems energetic and a bit foolish at times for someone her age.
* HappilyMarried: Tatsu and Miku love each other despite their different lifestyles.
* NotSoDifferent: She can be just as equally and unintentionally creepy as Tatsu, as shown in Chapter 27.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Miku's relationship with Tatsu. He is a stone cold ex-criminal while she is career-oriented with a large otaku streak. Best shown when both go shopping together, with him being frugal and her being more willing to splurge money.

Tatsu's former underling, who still looks up to his ''aniki'' even after all these years.
----
* DirtyCoward: When Masa is being harassed by some rival thugs, he decides to hide behind Tatsu. Tatsu promptly yells at Masa to not drag other people into his own problems.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Believes that the way of the Yakuza and that of the house husband are one and the same and decides to follow Tatsu. Given how many yakuza in the series are like Tatsu he might not be that off.
* LazyBum: Tatsu call him a legendary wasteman when he shows him how to relax.
* MenCantKeepHouse: As the complete opposite of Tatsu he doesn't tidy up his apartment.
* RealMenWearPink: Tatsu manages to rope him into his domestic hobbies and pursuits, such as building an adorable chair as a DIY project, or growing herbs for cooking.
* {{Sidekick}}: Becomes this to Tatsu.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Picks a fight with a larger group of yakuza, refers to Tatsu as ''aniki'' (usually translated as bro), acts like the two are close, and assumes he'll immediately help him with the fight. Tatsu has no memory of who he is the ''second'' time they meet, indicating that he probably wasn't as important as he thinks he was.
