File Card
He is the oldest of the Tatsumi siblings and the leader of the team. He belongs to the Capital City Fire Department Rescue Squad. He is 24 years old, and takes his duties as a leader and as the eldest brother very seriously. He never backs down from a fight, regardless of how difficult it might be, and sometimes berates his younger siblings when they make mistakes. Matoi does everything "by the book", and rarely makes mistakes. He feels very responsible for his younger brother and sister, as he played a large role in raising them; whilst he is their brother, he also serves as a father figure. He often gets into arguments with Shou. He often argues with his siblings, but mainly out of concern for them and a desire for them to succeed. He was responsible for devising the team's battle cry. His name comes from the word matoi (纏?), an ancient object used by firemen during the Edo period Japan to warn people of a fire nearby.
