Party/Kanji Tatsumi

This article covers information on Kanji Tatsumi as a party member, including uses and strategies in Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden.
==Overview==
Kanji joins the Investigation Team on June 6th after the Steamy Bathhouse has been cleared by defeating Shadow Kanji.
Kanji's primary perks are his high Strength, HP and Endurance, which allows him to dole out heavy single-target Physical hits and take hits with great ease, at the cost of middling accuracy and crit rate owing to his subpar Agility and Luck. Unlike fellow physical attacker Chie Satonaka, Kanji learns the full suite of Elec spells, going up to Maziodyne and Elec Amp, but his low Magic and SP keep him from being an outstanding Elec-based attacker. These spells are preferably for exploiting enemy weaknesses or striking anything immune to physical attacks.
Despite his moveset being offense-oriented, he can support with Rakukaja as a single-target Defense boost, and later picks up Matarukaja to augment the entire party's attack.
Kanji resists Electricity, and his weakness is Wind.
If the protagonist maxes out Kanji's Social Link, his Persona Take-Mikazuchi will evolve into Rokuten Maou, evenly boosting each of his stats by 1 and removing his Wind weakness (though not in Golden).
Pool 	Pool 	Explanation
Ziodyne 	Elec Boost	Combatant that doubles between wide-range Magic attacks and powerful, single-target Physical attacks. Kanji specifically targets and exploits the enemies' weaknesses from a general standpoint, especially via targeting enemies that are Downed. Kanji creates openings rather than work off of circumstance.
Maziodyne 	Elec Amp 	Combatant that doubles between wide-range Magic attacks and powerful, single-target Physical attacks. Kanji specifically targets and exploits the enemies' weaknesses from a general standpoint, especially via targeting enemies that are Downed. Kanji creates openings rather than work off of circumstance.
Vile Assault	Matarukaja	Combatant that doubles between wide-range Magic attacks and powerful, single-target Physical attacks. Kanji specifically targets and exploits the enemies' weaknesses from a general standpoint, especially via targeting enemies that are Downed. Kanji creates openings rather than work off of circumstance.
Primal Force	Elec Break	Combatant that doubles between wide-range Magic attacks and powerful, single-target Physical attacks. Kanji specifically targets and exploits the enemies' weaknesses from a general standpoint, especially via targeting enemies that are Downed. Kanji creates openings rather than work off of circumstance.
===Persona 4 Golden===
In Persona 4 Golden, Kanji's role as a physical bruiser remains largely unchanged. To differentiate him from Chie's physical output (especially since his Social Link now gives him Power Charge), Kanji's build is focused on sustainability with Regenerate 3 offsetting his physical skills' costs and Fast Heal shortening his recovery time from ailments. The game also grants him additional support skills, like Masukunda to offset his poor accuracy, and Mediarama to function as a backup healer.
If Kanji's Social Link has already been maxed out, the protagonist will be able to talk to him during Winter, getting him to evolve his Persona into Takeji Zaiten. He'll be able to absorb Electricity, and resist Physical attacks. In addition, he's able to learn "The Man's Way," giving Kanji a chancing of Downing all enemies and inflicting them with the Dizzy ailment, making them very vulnerable to attack.
