Tadashi Hamada

A review by Manohla Dargis of the "The New York Times" describes that Tadashi "isn’t much better," than the, "disappointingly bland maternal creation," Aunt Cass. In her review, Dargis states that this is despite Tadashi being a, "hunky brainiac who studies at an institute of higher nerdiness alongside a Scooby Doo-like posse." "The Japan Times" describes that Tadashi, "fits the normal Hollywood bill of a polite young Japanese male." At one point in his review, Sam Adams of "Indiewire"s "Criticwire" blog, writes that Tadashi has a "nurturing spirit." Adams also criticizes Tadashi's death, calling it, "underplayed and unseen." After mentioning another blogger's interpretation of why Hiro didn't want to lose Baymax, Adams writes that, "Even in retrospect, Tadashi's death isn't rendered significant."
