源 忠勝

A student of Kawakami Academy who resides in the Shimazu Dorm. He is nicknamed "Gen-san" by his classmates, but Kazuko calls him "Tacchan". He is one of the members of the "Elegante Quatro", the group consisting of the four most handsome guys in the Academy. He has very mean looks but in reality, is a really nice person who just has trouble expressing his feelings. He is shown to have a tsundere personality as he helps people while claiming he did so just so he wouldn't be annoyed anymore. He tends to receive cake as a token of appreciation for his jobs, which he tends to share with Yamato and the rest of the members of Shimazu Dorms. Having grown up in the same orphanage as Kazuko, they have known each other since they were kids and have been friends since then. Eventually both where adopted with Tadakatsu being adopted by Usami, a teacher at Kawakami Academy and also the boss of a small "odds jobs" company which Tadakatsu is an employee of, and also the future successor. Tadakatsu enjoys his job and sometimes considers leaving school to focus on it, but is persuaded not to do so by Kazuko. Tadakatsu is also a skilled chef. Yamato and Captain usually take advantage of Tadakatsu's good nature to make him cook something for them, but the always says he is only cooking for them because he was hungry. He also has had a secret affection towards Kazuko ever since they where kids, which is made evident by the way he looks out for her and the way he treats her nicely compared to everyone else. This puts him in an odds position with Hideo who also has feelings for Kazuko. This is further proved when going through Kazuko's Route, where he confesses his love for her (with Yamato and Hideo still nearby). In the Story Route of the Majikoi series, Tadakatsu eventually becomes the tenth member of the Kazama Family. [Edited from Majikoi Wiki]
