Loaded with action and humor, this is one of Nakamura's most popular roles and helped to define the character.
As an "Edokko" (native of Edo) Tasuke is known for his short temper, bad mount, and willingness to fight. He also possesses a genuine humanity, is quick to tears, and is a bit of a busybody who loves helping people.
