History[]
One night, Tatsuhiro was chased by Formicaalubus Worm on his way home. In order to survive and save more patients, Tatsuhiro begging for a month to spare his life. Formicaalubus Worm mimicked his appearance and agreed to the request.
Since Formicaalubus Worm also copied Tatsuhiro's skills, the real Tatsuhiro and the mimicked Tatsuhiro performed many surgery together. As him became famous, patients kept requesting Tatsihiro to help them with surgery, so Formicaalubus Worm Oculus and Formicaalubus Worm Maxilla also mimicked Tatsuhiro's appearance to help him with surgery. However, because the Worm did not stop killing other humans, Tatsuhiro was noticed by ZECT. At first, the appearance of multiple Tatsuhiros with the same appearance confused members of ZECT, until Soji Tendo sneaked into the hospital and found the real Tatsuhiro in front of Arata Kagami.
The next day, after Tatsuhiro explained the reason of met Worm to Tendo and Kagami, Formicaalubus Worm and its sub-classes appeared in front of him, and claimed one month limit is ended, time to kill Tatsuhiro. Kabuto, Drake and TheBee worked together to defeat all the Worms, and Tatsuhiro no longer had to be hunted by Worms.

On the surface, Tatsuhiro is an unreliable man, who likes to drink and joke with the owner of the oden stall on weekdays. But once it comes to work, he becomes very serious. He also has a habit of asking nurses to slap him before the start of surgery to boost morale. Tendo found his habit, allows him to distinguish the difference between the real person and other mimics of Tatsuhiro. In order to save the patient, he can begs Worm at all costs.
Despite the threat to his life, he is still surprised that Worms has perfectly mimickd his medical skills, and is grateful them have helped with some of his work. Although this mood is soon broken by the Worms who come to hunt him down when the time limit is ended.
