Profile[]

Background[]

Arrival at Kawakami City[]

Tsubame was scouted by Koi Kiriyama, a butler of the Kuki Corporation who was looking for strong martial artists. She was also scouted by Monshiro Kuki and Hyumu Hellsing to help defeat Momoyo Kawakami, assisting her and her father in creating Hiragumo, her ultimate weapon.

Tsubame agreed to transfer to Kawakami Academy on the promise from her father that she would face strong opponents there. Tsubame can fight with or without a weapon as she has studied many different combat styles.

Tsubame 02

Tsubame loves to eat natto to the point where it becomes an obsession as she advertised the natto she loves to eat as well as singing the natto song. Her nickname when she sells and advertises her natto is the Natto Komachi.

The Big Four[]

She is introduced as the new member of The Big Four or 4 Devas after defeating Otome Kurogane of the East, earning her the title of Tsubame Matsunaga of the East.

She defeated Otome Kurogane of the East, winning the title of Tsubame Matsunaga of the East. In her route, she became official after winning the Tag Tournament with Yamato Naoe and defeating Momoyo Kawakami in battle.

Due to the fact that she defeated the former third strongest member of the Big Four, she became the third strongest without having to have an official match with Yukie Mayuzumi to determine the stronger of the two. However, in her route where Yamato takes the lead in the relationship, she was defeated by Ageha Kuki when she tried to steal secrets from the Kuki company. Nevertheless, it should be noted that in her route and Koyuki's route, with proper tactics and Hiragumo, she has proven capable of beating Momoyo and Seiso Hazakura despite both of them being stronger than her.

Appearance[]

Tsubame has pink eyes and waist-long black hair. She has pale skin and a very athletic body. She occasionally wears glasses during free times as shown in her route. During the fight against Momoyo, she wears a utility belt with her uniform that contains her nattos and weapons as well as her tight body suit as her trump card.

Personality[]

Tsubame is a cheerful girl who is a little bit of tsundere. Tsubame shares Momoyo Kawakami's love for battle and because of this has become good friends with her.

However, it is revealed in her route that beneath her cheerfulness, she has a dark side. She can be a cold, ruthless and manipulative person who won't hesitate to use and get close to others in order to accomplish her goals, whether it be with her business or in a fight. She did this in her route with Yamato in order to gain the information she needed to defeat Momoyo with her ultimate weapon, Hiragumo. However, despite admitting that she used both of them in order to win, she truly became close to the both of them and eventually regretted what she had done. Despite this, Momoyo has called her a "carnivore with all that cuteness" and Yamato has said that she is even worse than Momoyo when it comes to her selfishness and hubris.

She has also shown to be very intelligent and cunning, using plans and strategies at a level that rivals both Yamato Naoe and Touma Aoi. Nabeshima Tadashi, the principal who runs the Tenjin Academy, has stated that she is a master of the art of tactics and has never lost a battle. Tsubame has stated that she has never fought a battle that she didn't think she could win.

Powers and Abilities[]

Tsubame's main strength lies in her intelligence and tactics in combination with her skill in using various weapons, making her a technique-type fighter. Her ultimate weapon, Hiragumo, which was invented by her father Hisanobu, increases her strength, defense and speed, making her capable of facing opponents that are of a higher level than her. This is proven in both her route and Koyuki's route when she defeated Momoyo and Seiso despite both of them being stronger. Although she doesn't possess the enormous strength the other Big Four members, as a former member of the Ten Warriors of the West, she is a very capable fighter, knocking out normal thugs in one hit. In addition, it has also been shown that her kicks are very strong, which she shows by defeating Gates with a single kick in a common route in Majikoi S!.

Great Strength: Although not at the same level as people like Momoyo Kawakami, Ageha Kuki, Benkei Musashibou, Xiang Yu or Tatsuko Itagaki, her attacks and especially her kicks can still deal heavy damage to an opponent. This is greatly enhanced when she uses Hiragumo, where thanks to her interface suit, she can still move at her usual speed, despite the weapon's heavy weight.

Weapon Master: Being a technique-type fighter, besides using her fists and Hiragumo, Tsubame is skilled at using various weapons. Using the belt buckle at her waist, she can bring out a weapon to assist her in a fight, such as a sword or staff. Although she has admitted not being as skilled as Yukie Mayuzumi and Kazuko Kawakami with their respectful weapons, she is shown to have high skill with any weapon she has wielded, being able to quickly change weapons even in the heat of battle, as shown when she first sparred with Momoyo.

Expert Ki Perceptor: Like most high level fighters, Tsubame has high perception, being able to sense strong fighters even when they hide their presence, as well as hiding her own presence, even from Momoyo. She was even able to see Yukie's godlike speed attacks during the tournament in her route.

Master Sexual Technician: She ultilized a book with sexual techniques passed down through generations in the Matsunaga family by learning the points and movements to please your partner, she put them into practice and thanks to them she was able to dominate Yamato and make him her pupper, something that even Momoyo who has a tough personality and is physically stronger and more resistant than Tsubame could not do (Momoyo tried to dominate Yamato but was defeated and turned on).

  • Tsubame may possibly be a descendant of Hisahide Matsunaga, a daimyo of Japan during the Sengoku Period of the 16th century. This is due to several similarities such as Hisahide's conquest of the Yamato province in the 1560's (which may symbolize Tsubame taking the lead in her relationship with Yamato, which is an option in her route), her ultimate weapon Hiragumo (Which was a priceless tea kettle owned by Nobunaga Oda that was destroyed by Hisahide before he died), her family originally living in Kyoto (which is where Hisahide surrendered to Nobunaga), her nearly committing suicide when she was defeated and caught by the Kukis in her route (Which Hisahide did when he was defeated by Nobunaga in 1577), her cunning and scheming nature (which is how Hisahide is depicted in fictional stories) and her love of art (which Hisahide was considered a patron of fine arts). Tsubame has even stated that her ancestors were involved in the Sengoku period.
  • Tsubame specializes in many weapons in combat such as bows, swords, machines, spears and even her bare fists. It has even been stated that she can use a switch-axe as a weapon. This may be a reference to a weapon used in the role playing game Monster Hunter.
  • Hiragumo's ability to seal instant-healing during her own route is a copy of a technique that Hyumu can use to seal instant healing techniques.
  • Tsubame's tarot card arcana is the devil, foreshadowing her true personality.
