Tamaki Kotatsu

is a Third Generation Fire Officer at the 1st Special Fire Brigade.

Appearance
Tamaki is a young girl of average height with long, straight dark hair and two ponytails that come out at the sides. She wears a protective outer jacket, with an open torso, which reveals her entire stomach area, trousers and dark boots.

Personality
Tamaki has a very vulgar personality. She is loud and boastful, and is not shy of her appearance in the slightest. Tamaki is also quite clumsy, which results in her getting into intimate situations, for which she blames others. She also gets annoyed with people rather quickly and doesn't like it when her superiors are disrupted by low-ranked Fire Officers, like Shinra. On the battlefield, Tamaki is observant, as she managed to notice Shinra not having any sense of urgency.

Abilities
Being a Third Generation, Tamaki has adapted to the flames and was granted the ability to ignite such flames herself. She is able to use the flames to substantially increase her agility, giving her cat-like traits in the process. She is also rather observant of her surroundings.

Introduction arc
Appearing with Shinra Kusakabe at the Fire Officer Newcomer Tournament, she makes her introduction with a loud shout. Shinra looks over to see she is displaying her chest and bra, much to Tamaki's annoyance and not knowing why is he staring at her. As time moves on, Shinra finds the Battalion Commander of the 1st Special Fire Brigade in hope of speaking to him. When Shinra reaches out to him, Tamaki gets in the way saying he's not supposed to address the Commander so casually, resulting in Shinra's hand placed on her breast. She becomes extremely embarrassed, slapping his hand away and questioning why he had such a ridiculous grin on his face. Tamaki waddles off, and ends up bear-hugging Arthur due to her clumsiness. She screams and ends up being in the hands of three other men, wailing every time. At last, she ends up in Shinra's hands as he holds her butt. She kneels down with teary eyes, questioning herself as to why she is always a victim for "lucky lechery" syndrome. The horn goes off and the official announcement for the beginning of the tournament is called out. The newcomers gather as they are told the tournament objective. As they all line up, Tamaki peeks over and looks at Shinra in annoyance. The starting signal goes off, and the newcomers move forward toward their goal, with Tamaki noticeably at the front. She looks back calmly, to her surprise, only to see Shinra not having moved. He begins to fly up toward the building holding the fake Flame Human, which shocks her. She realizes she needs to act quickly, activating her Nekomata ability and dashing toward the building in a hope of recovering her position.
