Tadashi Kunai

## Kunai Tadashi

Tadashi from Uzoumuzou album cover

**Tadashi Kunai** (苦無 正, *Kunai Tadashi* [?]) is an original character by Guchiry, and protagonist of the song *Orthodoxia*.

He is a guru who founded a new religion in a rural village. All other personal information about him is confidential and is a mystery.

He seems to have organized his organization based on the Cult of the Abandoned City, but he has changed it to fit his selfishness, which eventually led to his execution by the villagers.

## Appearance

Tadashi has a tall, skinny figure with pale skin. In the *Uzoumuzou* cover, he has long black hair in a low ponytail, but in the *Orthodoxia* music video, his hair is much shorter. On both sides of his face, two pieces of his hair are separated from his ponytail and has a short piece of hair in the middle which is sometimes swept to the left. His eyes are closed most of the time, but when they are open, the iris is pitch black with his eyes mostly being narrow. In one scene of *Orthodoxia*, when he is smiling, his teeth are seen as sharp. In *Orthodoxia* his nails are also long and sharp, however on the *Uzoumuzou* cover and on his dakimakura, it's short.

He wears an all black cassock, which is a full-length garment of a single color worn by Christian clergy, members of church choirs, acolytes, and others that has some sort of role in the church.

## Personality

On the outside, Tadashi is a charismatic man, though his true nature is much different.

Tadashi is truly a selfish and manipulative megalomaniac with psychopathic tendencies. Even when he is about to die, he smiles with no regrets.

Tadashi wasn't initially like this, but he slowly turned out to be.

## Relationships

### Astraea

She inspired him to create his own cult, however she didn't participate in it whatsoever. Tadashi thinks Astraea is a scary, but an amazing person. Meanwhile, Astraea doesn't care about Tadashi, viewing him as a common insect like other humans except Crowley and Mercedes. Astraea smiles at his death, thinking about how it will make Crowley's life better.

## Etymology

**Tadashi** (正, ***Tadashi***[?]) means "correct" or "right".

**Kunai** (苦無, ***Kunai***[?]) is a "ninja throwing knife" or a "medieval tool for digging". **Ku** (苦, ***Ku***[?]) means "suffering" or "hardship" while **Nai** (無, ***Nai***[?]) means "nothingness".

His name is referencing the word **Tadashikunai** (正しくない, ***Tadashikunai***[?]), which means "incorrect" or "not right".

## Story

In a ruined city where another religion takes place, he had a dream: “Be the one to lead others." He doesn't remember anything except that he was told those words, so he relied on them to try and help the weak. He followed the trend of new religions, and claimed to be the founder of his own religion, claiming that he was the rightful messenger for God. The people did as he said, and follow his instructions. In a closed and exclusive environment, he established a system of control that was not a religious group in his name only. However, this did not last long. The once charismatic and revered young man, became more and more arrogant every day. People eventually grew dissatisfied with his, but he wasn't aware of this and kept ordering people to do what he wanted.

In reality, the words he heard were lies. He was deceiving people with his own performances of miracles, saying he was helping the weak. The truth is that a young man who planned to take advantage of poverty and hardship was using rumors of miracles by a cult he had heard about. When the villagers cornered him, he begged for his life and told the truth, but he ended up being slaughtered.
