Yoshitake Tanaka

Yoshitake Tanaka is the blond character of the main trio. In their group, he usually goes along with Hidenori's schemes, much to Tadakuni's disapproval. Like Tadakuni, he also works part-time. He has an older sister.

Appearance
Yoshitake is tall, fair and slim, with olive-brown eyes. His blond hair, spiked backwards, is his most distinctive feature. He wears his school uniform with the shirt untucked and unlike the others, almost never wears the school tie at all, giving him a tough-guy look.

As Rubber Shooter, Yoshitake had dark brown hair in the same hairstyle and wore a long-sleeved dark shirt under a plain white t-shirt. He also wore blue shorts and a long red scarf. The most noticeable part of his outfit was his trademark bug-eyed mask. He fought bullies by aiming and shooting rubber bands from both hands, earning him his moniker.

Personality
As a child, he and his friends adopted the "Rubber Shooter" persona in order to protect weaker kids from bullies and assisting them when necessary. The "Rubber Shooter" persona was forgotten as Yoshitake grew older; he only brings it back when playing with rubber bands. As a high-schooler, Yoshitake likes to engage in immature acts and conversations with Hidenori and gets himself into trouble quite often. Despite his bad-boy looks, Yoshitake is quick-witted and smart, as shown in episode 3 of the anime when he and his friends played trivia with ping pong. He is shown to care a lot for his friends, at times deliberating on courses of action that would 'stay true' to his friendship with them.

Rubber Shooter
8 years ago, during his elementary school days, Yoshitake Tanaka was a known hero called "Rubber Shooter", along with Tadakuni and a few others. Rubber Shooter once intervened when a young Hidenori was being bullied and scared the bullies away. Rubber Shooter, alongside Yanagin and 8 other chosen students, fought the Archdemon and the battle resulted in a draw where everyone was wiped out.

Hidenori and Tadakuni
They are his two best friends. He interacts with them more than any other character, often at Tadakuni's house, and generally causes trouble with Hidenori.

Yoshitake's older sister
Yoshitake doesn't get along well with his older sister, labelling her a compulsive liar who is 'even crazier than he is'. He cannot put up with her antics when she's desperate to get a boyfriend and is downright terrified of her when she's angry. Being used to her relatively unpleasant behaviour, he is unable to deal with it when she displays a kind/helpful side, as it goes against his characterization of her.
