Hidenori Tateshima

Tateshima carries himself like a man in his thirties. He keeps his dark hair cut short enough to leave his ears exposed, and his face is framed by a slender mustache paired with a faint, understated beard.

The material reveals nothing definite about Tateshima's disposition, leaving his personality largely a blank beyond his conduct as a squad leader in the field.

Tateshima heads the Tateshima Squad during the auction cleanup, riding in with his men toward the Zeum Hall and operating as one of the deputy leaders beside Fuuma Yukimichi under Inspector Akira Mado, with charge over Team C. As his group moves to enter the hall, the S-rated ghoul Naki appears, soon joined by the three-bladed Miza. Their attempt to fight turns costly when Miza kills Jun Numa outright, and both Tateshima and Fuuma protest the loss before Akira steps in to handle the ghoul herself. Once Naki has been worn down, Tateshima orders his men to open fire and drive the injured ghoul into retreat. A fresh wave of investigators arrives to close out the operation, and he emerges from it unharmed.
