    Taichi is a self-conscious and pessimistic person. His low self-esteem derives from the fact that his best friend is good at everything, from athletics to social skills. He is also heavily influenced by social pressures; never wanting to be seen as abnormal or weird for his interests. He also gets easily embarrassed when he feels people are looking at him differently.

    His paranoia and communication problems are apparent at the beginning of the series with his struggles to maintain his friendship with Touma. This situation is caused primarily by Taichi's belief that he is too inferior to maintain a friendship with someone of such levels of popularity as his childhood friend, and the fact that he always feels left out in the more popular social circles despite Touma’s best efforts at including him, causing him to put distance between them.

    Taichi is a good problem solver. When faced with figuring out a way to help Futaba, he quickly outlines a plan of action and follows through to set her up with the best outcome possible. Taichi is very skilled with his hands, being able to build and craft ornate objects, having even once had a dream of opening his own toy store.Aside from his interest in crafting toys, Taichi has a soft spot for cute things.



    During the semifinals of a baseball game, Taichi spots a cat about to get hit by a car. Remembering how much he regretted not being able to save a cat in his childhood, he rushes over to save her only to be knocked out of the way by Touma. This caused Touma to break his leg and end his dreams of going to Koshien. This caused Taichi immense guilt because going to Koshien was the only dream Touma had ever held on to since they were kids.

    Despite vowing to stay together, Taichi and Futaba broke up 2 years after high school after their goals became too different. 5 years after the breakup, Taichi got an invitation to Futaba's marriage to another man and it is revealed that Taichi had married Touma who attended Futaba’s wedding on behalf of both of them while Taichi attends Omega’s wedding which was on the same day.
