Background[]
Tatsumi Arayashiki belonged to family with low earnings. He and his family used to live in a small house with almost no necessities or luxuries. Because of such a life, Tatsumi started dreaming of living in a large house, and ended up becoming a real-estate agent. Tatsumi became an employee of Onami Real Estate Co., Ltd., and called himself "a man born to sell a house".
Workplace Competetion[]
While using ZAIA Spec, he has achieved top sales results in the department, and he does not break his irreverent attitude even in front of his boss and customers. Tatsumi had been chosen by Gai Amatsu to become ZAIA Enterprise Japan's representive in the second round of the Workplace Competition, where he must make more real estate sales against Hiden Intelligence's Realitor Humagear, Smile Sumida. Despite his success during the competition, he was still pressured by Gai to beat Smile Sumida's increasing sales. Tatsumi was given a Raidriser alongside the Splashing Whale Progrisekey by Naki while he was on the way back to his office. As the Splashing Whale Raider, he began to destroy Smile Sumida's properties, even going as far to directly harming her.
When a millionaire asks for Smile to find him a new home, she sends the carpenter Humagear, Saikyo Takumi Oyakata, to do repairs. However, Tatsumi turns him into the Mammoth Magia and beats Vulcan in battle as the Splashing Whale Raider. Unfortunately for Tatsumi, the house was completed by and giving Smile the winning chance as Tatsumi didn't believe the house fits what the rich man needed. This angers him to the point of destroying Smile. But Aruto becomes Zero-One Shining Assault Hopper to defeat Tatsumi, this time for real. Tatsumi cries on the pressure that he is put and actually wants to admit Smile's achievement. But since he has been defeated even as a Raider, he finally lets go of his depression completely and asks for forgiveness, giving the winning praise to Smile. Regardless, Tatsumi and ZAIA Enterpise Japn actually won by the profit achievement.
