**Tsubasa Ichinose** (一ノ瀬 翼, *Ichinose Tsubasa*?) is one of the main characters in Taizan 5's manga series, The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins.

## Etymology

* His family name **Ichinose** means "*one*" (一) (**ichi**), (ノ) (**no**) and "*rapids/current*" (瀬) (**se**).
* His given name **Tsubasa** means "*wing/plane*" (翼) (**tsubasa**).

## Appearance

Tsubasa has black hair with long bangs and a mole a little below his left eye. As a 14-year-old boy, he stands at the average height for his age. Since he and his family were admitted to a hospital, his introductory outfit consists of a blue hospital gown, slippers, and a bandage on his head. When they arrive at their house, he is dressed in a plain oversized shirt paired with black tracksuit pants.

Upon returning to school, Tsubasa can be seen wearing his school uniform, or "seifuku". This uniform consists of a plain white shirt - which Tsubasa wears underneath a beige cotton sweater - a black blazer with bright gold buttons, black trousers, and sneakers. Along with his uniform, Tsubasa also appears to still be wearing his bandages.

## Personality

Tsubasa has a friendly demeanor and is shown to be very caring and kind-hearted toward his family, even though he has no memory of them. He was the one to suggest that his family come up with imaginary experiences they had together, and comforted Shiori when she was struggling to come to terms with their situation.

His former self, on the other hand, is overconfident in his abilities. Most of his classmates would approve of his excellent sportsmanship and the way he plays soccer, based on his previous recollections. Given the respect he receives from his teammates, he may be shown being sociable among individuals other than Nakajima, which motivates Nakajima before him to be like him.

## Background

Prior to the Ichinose Family's tragedy, it can be seen in Tsubasa's memories that he and Nakajima, the first bully he ever encountered during his initial days of his amnesia, had a good relationship and might be termed bestfriends.

Both he and Nakajima have known each other since elementary school, and Tsubasa is the one who persuaded the not-so-gentle old Nakajima to come out of his shell and join the soccer team with him. They were teammates until an undisclosed occurrence happened during Junior High in which Tsubasa wanted to withdraw from playing, leaving Nakajima distraught for quite some time.

## Relationships

### Shiori Ichinose

Tsubasa is trying to bond with his sister, who is distant not just from him but also from their entire family. Shiori became estranged from them as a result of their amnesia as somewhat of a result of the accident. They have never interacted in any way other than being uncomfortable to one other.

### Nakajima

There are a couple flashbacks from Nakajima's past where he and Tsubasa were best friends. The old Tsubasa encouraged him to come out of his shadow, join the soccer squad, and succeed alongside his friend. When Tsubasa got distant during his previous self, Nakajima likewise became aloof and grew into someone unpleasant, in contrast to his old self.

### Kakeru Ichinose

As to who they believe Kakeru to be, they assume he is Tsubasa's father. Kakeru gave him fatherly advice during their most recent father-son conversation about the fight between him and Shiori, but it is clear that he still maintains a general air of distance from his son.
