Kōtarō Tatsumi

巽 幸太郎

Tatsumi Kōtarō is the energetic producer of the idol group Franchouchou. He's the one who resurrected the girls from different eras as zombies to be part of his idol group. Kōtarō is a young adult man with a tidy combed hairstyle, he wears sunglasses and a formal attire. Kotaro always has dried squid in his vest pocket. Tatsumi is a loud and eccentric idol producer who has big ambitions for "saving" the Saga prefecture with his zombie idols. He is unwavering and passionate when it comes to achieving this goal, doing whatever it takes to make the girls into a sensational idol group. Though he may have lofty motivations, however, Tatsumi himself seems to be quite an idiot and often pretends to be more knowledgeable than he actually is. When his ignorance is ever revealed, he often resorts to lashing out and yelling at whoever called him out. He rarely ever takes into account the girls' feelings about his ill-conceived and unreasonable plans, such as forcing Sakura to perform in front of a crowd of death metal fans when she explicitly told him that she couldn't. Despite his flaws, Tatsumi does seem to have some semblance of wisdom and understanding, telling off Ai and Junko for giving up on the idol group so easily, which would eventually help convince them to join the group. Another time, when Junko locked herself up, he gives her advice on her issues with modern idols. He also shows this side by demonstrating a fair amount professionalism as a manager such as creating various business opportunities and connections and lecturing how Saki's actions in a fight could potentially ruin Franchouchou's reputation.
