Tamotsu Usami (宇佐美 保) is a minor character in the series Tsuritama. He is Natsuki's father and the owner of a whitebait restaurant in Enoshima.

Visual Appearance

He looks to be a little over being middle-aged. He has black-gray hair that is slicked back. He wears black glasses that are similar to Natsuki's.

Personality

Tamotsu is a relatively cheerful man with a positive outlook. He is aware that Natsuki does not like him and tries to bring them closer together, but he knows when to stay clear of his son's way. He is very nice, though more is to be revealed later on.

He seems to have an interest in drinking, as he merrily searches for his beer in one episode.

Background

Tamotsu's personal past is not very well known, however, two years prior to the beginning of the series, his wife, Shinobu, had passed away, making a rift in between him and his son, Natsuki. During this time period he had also met and began to see a new woman named Mariko, much to his daughter's approval and son's displeasure.

Trivia

• "Tamotsu" means "guarantee, keep, preserve, protect, support, sustain."
• He is the one that had created Natsuki's personal saying when casting (which was eventually passed on to Haru and Yuki), "Eno - shima - don (bowl)!"
