Shugo Chara Characters

The King's Chair

Hotori,Tadase-A kind-hearted and mature boy the same age as Amu who serves as the K-Chair (King's Chair). His alias is "Prince", as he is a bishounen, and he is Amu's love interest. Whenever he is called "Prince," his character changes into a violent, egotistical king who wishes to rule the world. Because of this, he does not do Character Change with Kiseki unless it is absolutely necessary. Actually, he too is a shy person and is not a public speaker. Because of this, he wished to become another, stronger character, much like Amu. He lives in a traditional Japanese house. He had a precious dog named Betty who died recently, and is still upset about it.

He, along with the other guardians, tried to get Amu to join because of a prophecy about a girl who will appear with three Guardian Eggs. At one time he lost confidence, as he could not seem to find the Embryo at all. He was then affected by the Black Diamonds CD, causing Kiseki to change to an X egg. Amu helped him out of this crisis and he is now able to Character Transform with Kiseki, becoming "Platinum Royale". During a Character Change, his attack is "Holy Crown", in which he creates a golden shield of energy around himself, where as in his Character Transformation, it is "White Decoration", which cleanses X-Eggs. When he becomes "Platinum Royale" he has lots of frills and laces. It is said the writer purposely did this to make him more princely.

He had a crush on "Amulet Heart". He also said that he loved Amu because "Amulet Heart" is her "self that she wants to be". At first he is about the same height as Amu, but as the story progresses, he grows taller. In chapter 28 and/or episode 74, Tadase confesses that he likes Amu by asking if it was OK to fall in love with her, saying that he has learned Amu really is herself and doesn't think about "Amulet Heart" anymore. Ikuto, hidden in the closet, hears his confession to Amu. Ikuto becomes jealous of Tadase.Tadase has short blond hair with a thin ahoge. He has two bunches of hair at the side of his face and one single strand of hair that seems to protrude a bit. He has big, red-violet, almost mahogany, colored eyes. Tadase's cute form and face constantly attract girls and confessions to him. For example, Amu confessed to him in the first episode of Shugo Chara!, but he said there was already someone he liked. However, Tadase was only referring to his dead dog, Betty.Tadase is timid and educated, even though he acts confident around others. Tadase is very kind as Kiseki points out that kindness is his strength before they Character Transform in Platinum Royale for the first time. The Shugo Chara! Encyclopedia! describes Tadase as a boy who is "kind and slightly shy", it also comments he's "totally popular with the girls". An example of this is that he has a fan club, the Tadase Fan Club, comprised of five members, the leader being Saaya Yamabuki, who is in love with Tadase. At first throughout the series we see that he often stays very calm in many situations, but as you progress, we see more of the inside character that is Tadase and he is actually very expressive of his emotions.Whenever someone says the word "prince" ("ouji" in Japanese) or "dead end" (It somehow simliar to "ouji") in his presence, he will immediately Character Change into a confident and egotistical king who seeks to dominate the world. This provoked Character Change doesn't last long. However, it can be stopped when someone puts a bucket over his head. DuringCharacter Change, he receives a crown and a golden staff that enables him to use a technique called "Holy Crown", to protect him and others from danger, as well as trap his opponents.With the help of the Humpty Lock and Amu's encouragement, Tadase can merge with Kiseki and Character Transform into "Platinum Royale".This represents his desire to be more confident and to be a strong king.

Appearance: In this form, Tadase wears an all white suit similar to a French King with ribbons and frills. He also gains a noble crown and a golden staff. Tadase first becomes "Platinum Royale" in Episode 39 of the anime and Chapter 22 of the manga when Amu encourages him to embrace his flaws and remember how Kiseki was born.As "Platinum Royale", he is able to perform two new attacks called "White Decoration", "Holy Crown Special", and use his old technique "Holy Crown" in defensive and offensive manners. He later gains a sword during the Rescue Mission for Ikuto and later uses it for the attack "Holy Saber". On one occasion in Chapter 31 and Episode 80, he combines his powers with Amulet Heart's to perform a cleansing technique called "Platinum Heart", showing a strong bond between Amu and Tadase.
