Tsuna's personality has developed greatly since the beginning of the manga, where he was a cowardly, useless individual who easily gave up, to an individual of great resolve to protect the companions he has made, doing whatever must be done. He cares a a lot for his new ' family' and puts himself in the way of danger and even death in order to protect them Later, though he dislikes the violent history inherent in the mafia, stating that he would rather destroy the Vongola family then accept such a heritage, he is grateful for the friends he has made since meeting Reborn. He always denies the fact that he is a future Mafia boss and tries to avoid anyone and anything involved with the Mafia, clinging to any element of an ordinary life he can. This does not occur in the manga.Īt the beginning of the series, Tsuna is a junior-high student known in school as " No Good Tsuna" for his poor grades, wimpy attitude, bad luck, and lack of athleticism, a fact which Tsuna freely admits.Īlthough told by others that he is the tenth generation Vongola boss, Tsuna is generally unwilling to take part in anything that has to do with the Mafia. In the anime, Tsuna is currently training in preparation for Choice, having been sent to obtain the Seven Arcobaleno Seals to open his Vongola Box. In the manga, Tsuna is currently participating in a game of Choice against the Millefiore Family 10 years in the future with the Trinisette and the world at stake. On July 8, 2008, Pony Canyon released a character CD containing media from both his and Reborn's voice actors. He also appears in the Hidden Bullet light novels, albeit in a more minor role. Although he himself does not wish to have anything to do with the mafia, he nevertheless finds himself thrust into numerous battles, so far involving escaped mafia exiles, a rival group of elite assassins within the Vongola, and, eventually, 10 years in the future, the Millefiore Family, a rival family in the process of eliminating the Vongola.Īs the protagonist of the series, Tsuna appears in all the series' video games, as well as special appearances in both Shonen Jump compilation games, Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars. His character development from a weak individual who easily gives up to a leader dedicated to and willing to fight for the protection of his friends and family is a critical element of the series. Although at first a cowardly and useless junior high student, Tsuna is suddenly thrust into the role of the tenth generation boss of the Vongola Famiglia, the most prominent mafia family in the underground, forcing him to gather his own family to eventually battle for the survival of the world. Tsunayoshi "Tsuna" Sawada (沢田 綱吉, Sawada Tsunayoshi) is the protagonist of Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
