“

Well, I thought even working out of sight at the Louvre would be enough for me, so I jumped at the chance. Actually, I guess there's no being out of sight when you're at the Louvre. Hahaha.

”

—Ryunosuke Tatsumi, Rohan au Louvre

Ryunosuke Tatsumi (辰巳隆之介, Tatsumi Ryūnosuke) is a secondary character featured in the live-action Rohan au Louvre film adaptation.

Personality

Ryunosuke Tatsumi appears distinctly intellectual and self-assured. However, his demeanor projects an aura of arrogance and possible contempt. His speech, while cordial and eloquent, can be condescending, and his seemingly out-of-context quotations from Van Gogh give off an air of showing off his knowledge rather than genuine conversation.

Despite his respectful surface, Tatsumi's behavior is subtly off-putting which becomes apparent upon interaction. His remarks often bear a superficial politeness, yet they come with a dismissive undercurrent. For example, he disregards Pink Dark Boy's content, claiming to have understood it merely from the cover. Such instances reveal that his gentlemanly conduct is more performative than sincere. Tatsumi has an inconsistent attitude of humility, such as when he describes his role at the Louvre as a temporary hire due to staff shortages, all the while exuding a sense of superiority.

His love for the Louvre is undeniably profound, as shown by his aspiration to work even in the lowest position out of sight. However, his underlying possessiveness towards the institution hints at an underlying darker facet of his character, such as his casual remark about wishing to have the entire Louvre to himself. As the leader of an art theft group, Tatsumi's greediness eventually leads to his downfall as he regrets what happened to Maurice Legrand, believing he killed him due to forcing him to keep creating forgeries for their thefts.

Tatsumi's expertise as an appraiser is recognized and respected. His confident proclamations on artwork authenticity, even in ambiguous situations, demonstrate his command in his field. However, this assertiveness can sometimes cross the line into arrogance, further adding to the off-putting side of his personality.

In tense situations, Tatsumi appears to become defensive and argumentative, showcasing a competitive nature. He is ready to challenge others with his knowledge and authority, dismissing differing views in a condescending manner. However, when confronted with plausible counterarguments such as when Rohan correctly deduces the theft group's existence, Tatsumi can be left momentarily speechless, suggesting a potentially vulnerable side that's usually well hidden behind his self-assured front.

Despite his unfavorable traits, Tatsumi's expertise, knowledge, and dedication to his role at the Louvre make him an invaluable asset in critical investigations.
