Sawada Tsunayoshi is the main protagonist of Katekyou Hitman Reborn! Although at first a cowardly and useless junior high student, Tsunayoshi is suddenly thrown into fulfilling the role as the tenth generation Boss of the Vongola Famiglia, the most prominent Mafia Famiglia in the world, forcing him to gather his own Guardians to eventually battle for the survival of the world. Although he himself does not wish to have anything to do with the Mafia, he nevertheless finds himself thrust into numerous battles. Tsunayoshi is an ordinary junior-high student known in school as "No-Good Tsuna" for his poor grades, wimpy attitude, bad luck, and lack of athleticism, a fact which he freely admits. Tsunayoshi is generally depicted as comically horrified by the outrageous actions of those around him, generally causing him to become nearly hysterical, especially by Reborn's training methods. His lack of confidence and tremendous lack of luck generally contrast humorously with the positions of leadership and external pressure Reborn puts him in. Despite his title, he seems an earnest individual with great potential; unfortunately, Reborn discovers that often the only way to force Tsuna to fulfill this potential is to put him in a life or death situation. Although told by others that he is to be the 10th generation Vongola Boss, Tsunayoshi is generally unwilling to take part in anything that has to do with the Mafia. He always denies the fact that he is a going to be Mafia Boss and tries to avoid anyone and anything involved with the Mafia, clinging to any element of an ordinary life he can, even stating that his Guardians and subordinates are just his friends and upperclassmen. Later, though he dislikes the violent history inherent in the Mafia, stating that he would rather destroy the Vongola Famiglia than to accept such a heritage, Tsunayoshi is grateful for the friends he has made since meeting Reborn. He cares a lot for his Famiglia and puts himself in the way of danger and even death in order to protect the members. [Taken from Reborn! Wiki.]
