Power & Abilities

Tatsuyoshi is one of the strongest person in Kenganverse, if not the strongest. An extremely powerful Rokushin Kaikan karateka, who ended up winning the Rokushin Kaikan Tournament relatively comfortably; in his five matches, the only opponent he actually applied any effort against was Koyasu Shingoro, who actually fought against him as an equal. Tatsuyoshi is physically very durable and resilient, being able to effortlessly tank blows from opponents as strong as Hayakuwa Samato without so much as flinching, and also remarkably strong due to his body, being able to knock out most opponents, even someone as strong as Ikeuchi Mentaro or Hayakuwa Samato with a single strike, Tatsuyoshi can easily squashed Motoyama Jin, who is capable of defeat Muto Shinya, one of 3 strongest karateka of Rokushin Kaikan, like a fly. This means he can likely lift 3-5 tons.

• Buddha's Palm (菩薩掌, Bosatsushō): Tatsuyoshi strikes with an overwhelmingly strong palm strike.
• Hammer of Myo'o (明王の鐵槌, Myō'ō no Tettsui): Tatsuyoshi's strongest technique where he strikes his opponent with two overhand hammerfists.
