[edit] Personality And Traits
A happy-go-lucky kind of person, Tasuku Shinguji is always ready to test his combat abilities, while throwing in a joke, without hesitation, if asked. He has quite the eye for the female cast members -- an incurable flirt, so to speak. His habits are not in the least curbed, even after taking Leona Garstein as his girlfriend. Tasuku is known to flirt with female enemy pilots in the middle of battle (in fact, when Leona was working under the Divine Crusaders, he refers to her as "that cool hottie"). Underneath this guise, though, Tasuku is actually a skilled mechanic. He doesn't shy away from performing feats of bravery when needed, such as piloting the Giganscudo and taking the full force of Sanger Zonvolt's Colossal Blade, while defending the Hiryu Custom.
A running joke in the canonical storyline is that Tasuku is not the most physically fit among the Banpresto Original pilots. His condition has been described either as "having the constitution of a wet noodle" (low stamina) to "always tripping up on his own feet" (clumsiness). This is alluded to in the first Original Generation game as to why he was a mechanic initially, and not a pilot, as he did not pass the physical examination. Tasuku would become the pilot of the Giganscudo only after hijacking it, in order to stop Sanger.
