A male YouTube game streamer. Born November 22, 2001. Originally from Osaka. A game commentator active on YouTube. His activities mainly consist of live streaming, usually from 21:00 to 23:00. The majority of his game streams are in the so-called "masocore" genre, with titles like Getting Over It and I Wanna Be The Guy being his most famous. He also posts clips of games played during streams as shorts or long-form videos; he basically never records games for videos without streaming them. He generally talks non-stop, picking up comments and interacting with his audience frequently. Most of his gameplay is blind, and combined with his affinity for masocore games, his style is centered on reaction comedy and casual chatting. He also plays horror games, but the playstyle remains essentially the same. In terms of gameplay, he often progresses through sheer grit, repetition, and brute force. While his skills aren't exactly impressive, his strong mental fortitude allows him to engage in endurance battles—trying and failing repeatedly until he clears a stage. This makes for long but highlight-filled streams. Due to the game genres and his skill level, impromptu "Oogiri" (witty response) sessions often break out, featuring sharp banter with his edgy listeners. Conversely, he has very narrow tunnel vision and is particularly bad at exploration. In his Ao Oni stream, it took him a full two hours even with help from listeners; smooth, efficient gameplay is a rare occurrence. Because his style involves "pro-wrestling" (playful bickering) with his listeners while playing solo, he often claims he only failed because of the banter and that it wasn't his fault... In addition to the above, his memory isn't great, and he frequently falls for traps he stepped on just seconds prior. He has almost no mapping ability and gets lost frequently, often taking twice as long as expected to finish a game. In games with multiple routes, he doesn't usually intend to collect all endings. While he might finish shorter works like Chilla's Art, he finds replaying games tedious, so those wanting to see everything should take note. Tan himself is an extreme coward and hates horror games. He initially avoided masocore games due to the stress, but after his subscriber count grew when he played them on a listener's advice, he's now stuck in a hellish situation where he's forced to endure the very ordeals he wanted to avoid. Since this attracted viewers who enjoy his suffering, his streams are often treated like a zoo or a lab experiment, where the audience watches to see how the "guinea pig" reacts to stimuli. He is also famous for how quickly he sets up and triggers death flags. The moment he says "That won't happen" or "I won't do that anymore," the very thing he feared occurs, leading to constant call-outs from viewers. He has a deep, clear voice that is well-received by his audience. However, the high-pitched screams he occasionally lets out often get caught in his noise-canceling filter, making throat lozenges a necessity for him. Between his big reactions and his thick Kansai dialect, he is teased and beloved in equal measure. His streaming style involves a lot of "ijiri" (being the butt of the joke) and comedic banter, but he is prone to getting depressed if he feels he didn't handle a situation well. Although he says he "forgets bad things after sleeping," he often carries the weight of it for a while, so viewers should watch over him with warm, patient eyes. He likes tower defense and adult-oriented games, but he doesn't (and can't) play them on stream as they don't match his viewer demographic. He is particularly bad with horror; the fear often leaves him unable to calm down or sleep after a stream. Personally, he'd rather play masocore games than horror. He loves anime and manga and often uses them as analogies during his bits, but he's not very good at voice impressions. Some of his attempts were so traumatic that he no longer does them actively. Despite his lighthearted talk and banter with viewers, he is extremely socially awkward. While he can "pro-wrestle" with an audience through a screen, he can barely talk to his own family, often resorting to body language—a fact he and his viewers frequently joke about. He is also an extreme masochist. However, he clarifies it's not physical, but mental; he is overjoyed to the point of tears when he's teased or verbally berated. Contrary to popular belief, his name doesn't come from "tongue" (tan), but from "carbonated" (tansan). He chose the name hoping people would call him "Tan-san" (Mr. Tan), but most people assume it refers to the tongue. However, since listeners call him "Tan-san" or "Tan-tan," his wish was technically granted, even if the image is different from what he intended. "I'll give you 5 yen if you give me a million."
