Tadashi's signature

**Tadashi Hamada** (with Takachiho as his middle name) is one of the tritagonists of Beyond Worlds. He's Hiro's 22 year-old collegian brother who attends San Fransokyo Institute of Technology with the others, and has a major in robotics. He's also been in a relationship with Honey Lemon for two years, and becomes good friends with Léa and Julian Navarro upon meeting them.

## **Early Life**

When his parents died, Cass Hamada, their aunt, had full custody of him and Hiro and raised them as her own. At some point, he enrolled into San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, while his brother participated in Bot-Fighting instead. Tadashi began placing tracking devices onto Hiro's hoods in order to know where he is and save him from trouble.

## **3 Years Prior**

After successfully saving Callaghan from the fire and leading everyone to safety, no one died from the incident. Hiro forms the group Big Hero 6 in order to restore his stolen microbots and bring Abigail Callaghan back from hypersleep. Tadashi eventually becomes Big Hero 6's dispatcher. Sometime after forming the group, Tadashi and Hiro watches a movie with the hacker Léa as the protagonist, and Tadashi notices his brother's big crush on the fictional character.

## **Personality**

He's very sacrificing especially to the people he loves. Tadashi is also protective, even going as far as placing tracking devices on his brother's clothes to know where he is at all times, explaining how he's able to be there on time whenever Hiro bot-fights. He's an introvert unlike his girlfriend, although both get along well. Tadashi also relates to Julian Navarro in all levels, being the oldest of the Navarro siblings. He seems to also see Léa as his younger sister, showing a lot of concern and worry for her.

## **Physical Appearance**

Tadashi is canonically known to be 6'0"; he has cropped black hair usually hidden by his San Fransokyo cap, and he has chocolate brown eyes like Hiro. He typically wears a shirt, inner vest or a waistcoat under different colored blazers accompanied by jeans and sneakers. He also takes his sepia satchel with him at all times.

## **Trivias**

* Tadashi and Léa are explicitly the only characters in the series to be firstborns, now that it was revealed that Julian Navarro isn't actually Léa's brother.
* He's the second-oldest of the main characters, the first being Wasabi.
* Tadashi and Hiro's age up is lesser than what's mentioned in the film; in the film their age difference 7 or 8 years is as opposed to the series' 5. This is because Hiro was aged-up to 17 when he's only supposed to be 14. Tadashi's age, however, ranges between 20-22.
* Writers like to imagine that even Tadashi keeps mispronouncing Léa's name as "lee-ah". It was probably because of this that he adapted to calling her "Leigh" instead, to remember how her name is actually pronounced.
* The first person to call him "Dashi" or "Tashi" is more likely either Fred or Honey Lemon than Hiro, who is his own brother.
	+ For someone who keeps giving Léa nicknames, Hiro can't seem to call his brother other than his own name.
* Not even Hiro knows what Tadashi carries in satchel; he thought he had a laptop in it but remembers they don't own one in the first place.
* Tadashi might be slightly scared of dogs, as shown in the 12th chapter (Odontology), although his excuse is that Mudpie "surprised" him.
	+ As shown in the same chapter, Tadashi is also prone to still be blushing around Honey Lemon even if they're already in a relationship.
* He most likely though Léa and Red are in a relationship because of their closeness, he just never mentioned nor hinted it.
