Minagawa Tatsuki

Minagawa Tatsuki is a character in the Side Profiles and Irises ~Yes, No, or Maybe Half? Spinoff~, itself a part of the Yes, No, or Maybe Half? franchise.

Personality
Loud, popular and described as having a bold look in his eyes. He can transition from his cheerful self to that of a professional announcer when it comes to reporting the news.

With his liveliness, senior colleagues scoff that Minagawa cannot read the atmosphere in social interactions. He considers himself as someone who knew when it did not need to be read and when it did.

Background
At some point he became a sports news anchor.

Story
He approaches and begins speaking with Shin, asking him questions about his work.

With Shin preparing for a live TV program, Tatsuki is among others talking loud and is told to shut up by the director.

Sports reporting being next, Minagawa stands next a large-screen monitor. Having just finished speaking with the floor manager about a matter, with three seconds to go he notices Shin standing at the door of the studio, and happily waves to him.

Professionally delivering the news without a script or cue cards, afterwards he approaches Shin and asks him how tall he is.

At a barbeque, he hears how Shin likely did not come as well since Minagawa essentially told him it was good he is so short since he is working the floor, a comment that could have been construed as insensitive by Shin.

Afterwards, he heads back to the restaurant having forgotten his phone, and orders some beef-wrapped rice balls as he visualizes Shin still at work. Minagawa thinks to offer them as a snack and aplogy for his gaffe earlier.

Shin
An assistant director on a popular variety show called "Go Go Dash", and he closes the distance between them both. He is especially cheerful when around him and brings him snacks having observed Shin's choices of food he eats.
