## Summary

Tatsuya Shiba was raised in the White Room, one generation before Alex and Sara. He was considered a great success in the project, achieving extraordinary results in both mental and physical capabilities.

He is extremely intelligent and analytical. His emotions are merely skewed in a certain direction, with one particular aspect becoming especially sensitive. Thanks to his distinctive analytical power, he is able to promptly categorize people into hostile and non-hostile. This is certainly convenient for military and political reasons, which encompass most of his activities.

Tatsuya sometimes comes across as arrogant, self-entitled, and overconfident in his abilities. He is a vastly intelligent and serious man who was very dedicated to his duty in the White Room, but someday he just ditched and ran away. He has engaged Alex in combat multiple times, with him being the hardest opponent Alex has ever faced.
