 Despite being unable to physically coerce Sakuragi into joining the judo team, Tatsuhiko has proven that he is skilled, as he is the sole member of the judo team to qualify for the national championships in judo.It is also worth noting that Tatsuhiko has had a crush on Haruko since they were young.She calls him "Ta-chan" instead of by his last name, which irritates Sakuragi immensely.
