==Profile==
===Megami Ibunroku Persona===
Tadashi is introduced as an obnoxious, glasses-wearing kid who attends St. Hermelin. He is simultaneously a love interest and rival of Tamaki Uchida. Tadashi is the son of the local pharmacist.
===Persona 2: Innocent Sin===
Tadashi Satomi is a bumbling, wannabe private eye and employee of the Kuzunoha Detective Agency. He believes Tamaki's joke that the Izakaya Shiraishi restaurant sells weapons if a secret dish is being ordered and spreads the rumor which is taken advantage by the party to alter reality in order to allow them gain the weapons against Joker.
Tadashi has stolen a Muses' commercial poster from the street which hides the face of the unnamed third member and sticks it on the wall of the detective office. He deduces that Lisa Silverman is that third member of Muses when he sees Lisa stepping in the detective office and zealously asks her for autograph, causing Tamaki to beat him for a lesson.
In the Aerospace Museum, Tadashi and Tamaki are hired by Maya Okamura to investigate the Masked Circle. They disguise themselves in black outfits and black goggles but their alumnus Yukino Mayuzumi instantly recognizes them as she hears their voices. When King Leo sets fire on the museum, Tadashi and Tamaki guard the stairs to the next floor until the party has found all the child visitors of that level. When all children are retrieved, Tadashi dashes towards King Leo on the rooftop for an attack but is defeated.
Later, after Maya Okamura gets kidnapped, Tadashi states that a job as a detective might not be for him and that he is considering a career as a game designer instead.
===Persona 2: Eternal Punishment===
Tadashi does not appear at all in Eternal Punishment, having apparently been chased off by assassins shortly before the start of the game.
