Tatsumi Saiga

Tatsumi Saiga is the main protagonist from the Speed Grapher anime.

Tatsumi is a veteran war journalist, he somehow took a liking to it. His love for photography develops into sexual fetish; he gets an erection whenever he takes exciting photographs. However, after returning to Japan, his passion seems to have died.

In the AWa fics, Tatsumi is a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Tatsumi is a tall man with black messy hair, goatee and had dark eyes. He wears a dark-green trench coat over a white dress shirt with black suspenders, black pants and black leather shoes.

Personality
Tatsumi is an Intrepid Reporter who used to be a war photographer and is renowned for the quality of his shoots. An interesting byproduct of his job is that he is sexually aroused by taking his photos. Despite being jaded and cynical, he is still passionate about his job and works for a regular magazine. He's a a bit of a prick, but underneath that he's a genuinely good man.

Abilities
Tatsumi has the power to make anything he photographs explode using various cameras. He also have superhuman durability. His super-powers mean he can't ever take a photo without destroying whatever he's targeting. Which is particularly problematic given that's what he does for a living. Also, overusing his powers is killing his eyes and will eventually send him blind.

Trivia

 * Tatsumi is the first character from Speed Grapher to be introduced in the AWA fics.
 * Saiga's sense of humour is very dry, to say the least.
