Tatsumi family is a family portrayed in the Japanese Super Sentai series Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive. From a long line of "machi-bikeshi" (fire fighters of Edo, the capital of the Tokuguawa Shogunate), the Tatsumi family are portrayed providing emergency and rescue services in Tokyo.
Tatsumi Siblings:
- Matoi Tatsumi : Is the oldest of the Tatsumi siblings and the leader of the team as Go Red. He belongs to the Capital City Fire Department Rescue Squad 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 is 24 years old
- Nagare Tatsumi : Is the second son of the Tatsumi family and serves as their second-in-command as Go Blue. He belongs to the Capital City Fire Department Chemistry Division. Nagare spends much of his time looking out for his younger brother, Daimon, though Daimon often ignores his older brother's advice, a trait which often lands him in trouble. Nagare was once suspended because of an injury sustained by Daimon in a fight, despite the fact that he had advised Daimon against becoming involved in the confrontation. Since their youth, they have had a fractious relationship, with Daimon's wayward behaviour often getting Nagare into trouble. Nagare rarely responds to his older brother's chastising. He is 23 years old.
- Shou Tatsumi : Is the third son of the family who fights as Go Green. He is a helicopter pilot in the Central City Fire Department Aviation Department. He had always dreamed of being a pilot, and when he first got his job the whole family celebrated with him, with Matoi even singing karaoke. He then ran out of the room, to thank God for granting his wish. Once, after an argument with Matoi relating to his desire to be a pilot outweighing his desire to be a GoGoFive team member, Shou came close to leaving the team. Out of all of the siblings, Shou is the most angry and bitter towards their father. While Nagare does not talk back to their older brother, Shou does, and he constantly argues with Matoi. He is 22 years old.
- Daimon Tatsumi : Is the fourth and last son of the Tatsumi family who fights as Go Yellow. Daimon is a Sergeant at the Capital City Police Department. He is the hothead of the group, and he often rushes into situations before thinking, which can get him into trouble. Angry at his brother Nagare's suspension for something that was not his fault, Daimon sticks up for him. He is somewhat the joker of the team; being the youngest male he can be reckless and cocky. Daimon struggles with the concept of being a team player – one of the reasons he is one of the most common recipients of Matoi's chastisement is because he thinks he can handle any situation on his own without his siblings' help. When the team works together they are far more capable and powerful than when working individually; a lesson that Daimon learns the hard way. He is 21 years old.
- Matsuri Tatsumi : Is the youngest child and only daughter of the Tatsumi family who fights as Go Pink. She is a paramedic in the National Seaside Hospital. A kind-hearted girl, she is a strong fighter who is very agile and quick. She is motivated by the sight of those weaker than herself in trouble, and she often loses her temper when the Psyma Clan attack innocent people. At times, Matsuri is the one that brings order in the household when her brothers (and father) get out of line. She is 20 years old.
- Professor Mondo Tatsumi : Is the scientist who created the suits, mecha and weapons for the GoGoFive team. He is also the father of the team members. Ten years before the events of the series, Mondo is unable to convince everyone about his belief that the Psyma family will invade Earth despite his eminence.
- Ritsuko Tatsumi : Is the wife of Professor Tatsumi, the mother of the GoGoFive, and the most important person-in-absence in their lives. Her words are portrayed as constantly running through the minds of her children, and keeping them going during their greatest trials and tribulations. Her last words to her children were: "The five of you are one family. When you forget your power, no matter what happens, I believe in you. And, my wonderful children, believe in your father. Family is to believe in each other"; following this she boarded an aircraft which went on to crash.
