Tatsu wanted to shed some light on what had happened with his sudden disappearance in the fight game community after Evolution 2011, so he did a short Q&A with his new sponsor Eternal Rival. They talk a few subjects from where he has been to why cut off his hair.
Q: Where have you been, Tatsu?!
A: After EVO2011, I had unexpectedly run out of money! I decided it was the perfect time to take a break from fighting games to focus on other things, like schoolwork or getting a job.
Q: That's cool. But why'd you cut your hair?!
A: It's pretty hard to get a job when you look like a girlman BADASS, so I had no choice but to cut it. I do miss my hair an awful lot though. Over the years it's turned into a trademark look for me. I will grow it back if my situation permits.
Q: What's the deal with Team Hori?
A: Without getting into specific details, let's just say that the person who was in charge of managing the team wasn't doing a very good job. He broke a lot of promises, put on a fake smile, and I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that this guy represented everything that was wrong about the fighting game community. He didn't really care about Hori at all and was just trying to use their name as a way to make a quick buck.
Hori was never at fault. They're actually really nice people. Even though the team was only active for a short while, I'm really grateful for them. It was also cool being on the same team as Sako-san!
Q: So now that you're back, can we expect to see you at tournaments again?
A: Yes! With the support of Eternal Rival and Madcatz, I'm finally back in the game. I'm really excited with the sponsorship because for once, I might be able to travel to majors outside of socal, which is something that I've never been able to do before. Also, expect to see me at Wednesday Night Fights when the new season starts next month. I also like to head out to the weekly sessions at UCI.
I think that's about it for now. If you guys have any other questions, ask away! Also be sure to follow me on Twitter. The teams got a lot of cool stuff coming up for you guys and you're not gonna want to miss out.

Hope he still plays x-23 and deadpool, that was a sick combination.

Tatsu is the prettiest girl at any SF tournament.

Looks better with short hair. Keep it that way. Then again, I'm a heterosexual dude, so my opinion shouldn't really matter. I just think that girls don't wanna be with guys that care more about their hair than girls themselves; aka Marlin Pie and Nina.

Can't wait to see him in action at WNF. One of the sickest Deadpools. I wonder if he will change his team now that the DHC glitch is gone? I also think he has the 2nd best Vega (Possibly tied) with Makoto.

TATSU-makisenpakyaku, lol

I wonder if he's talking about AndyOCR or Warahk
Posted by MonkeyCha0s on January 27, 2012 at 3:48 p.m. #14
@13 AndyOCR and Warahk were his teammates in Team Hori. none of them were the manager or something like that. in fact, at SCR the 3 of them were seen together on stream rooting for eachother and whatnot.

That picture above makes him look like a chic. To anyone who haven't seen or know who Tatsu is, they would probably think it's a girl.

@2
I actually got the reference....
Just don't see the relevance...
Posted by burningwood on January 27, 2012 at 3:56 p.m. #17
Never mind... I get it now...

It's crunch time vega players

I was gonna make a 'since when is Triforce asian' joke, but I see someone beat me to making a Triforce joke, damn.

"I just think that girls don't wanna be with guys that care more about their hair than girls themselves; aka Marlin Pie and Nina."
OMG what happened?!
Posted by ItsMahveIBaby on January 27, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. #21
@19:
I had to decide between a MarlinPie or Triforce joke, and figured that would would be funnier :P
Posted by nocturnal on January 29, 2012 at 2:12 p.m. #22
I hope its not true that he dropped Vega and picked Yang. That would seriously suck
