Tasuki is a member of the Suzaku Seven, celestial warriors dedicated to protecting the Priestess of Suzaku from harm. Tasuki is also known as Genrou, and he is the leader of a group of bandits who make their home in Mt. Reikaku. These bandits are known to steal from the rich and give to the poor (especially themselves), and while they are thieves, they also have a sense of honor. Tasuki, with his tough attitude and strength is the perfect leader for these bandits. However, he is also one of the strongest and determined of the Suzaku Seven as well.

Tasuki first encounters Miaka and her friends when Miaka is captured by the bandits of Mt. Reikaku following her exploration of a rumor that a member of the Suzaku Seven was among the bandits. Eiken, an ugly bandit who had taken control of the Mt. Reikaku thieves and was ruling them through force and fear (as well as possession of the tessen, and enchanted fan that can throw fire), attempted to seduce Miaka, and Tasuki (known as Genrou at this time) kidnapped Miaka, challenging Eiken to a duel for the leadership of the bandits. Miaka ends up helping Tasuki win this battle, as well as get back the tessen from Eiken. Tasuki doesn't follow Miaka and her friends at first, he does end up doing so eventually, revealing his mark as a member of the Suzaku Seven in the process.

Tasuki has a fiery spirit and is quick to anger. However, he is far from merciless or ruthless and is honorable in his actions and attitude. His aggressive and loudmouthed nature does land him in trouble at times, but he is nevertheless an asset to the Suzaku Seven at many points throughout the series. Tasuki has a known phobia and dislike for women in general, though he makes an exception in Miaka's case for several reasons, the least of which is his puzzlement over Miaka's foreign attitudes regarding the world.
