Tatsuya Shiba

Tatsuya Shiba is the male protagonist of The Irregular in Magic High School, a web novel and light novel series authored by Tsutomu Sato. He is a magician and serves as the older brother and bodyguard of Miyuki Shiba, who is a candidate for leadership of one of the ten clans that govern Japan's magicians. The siblings enroll into a high school which separates students based on their magical abilities. While Miyuki is seen as one of the best magicians in the school, Tatsuya is deemed magically inept and is enrolled into a different course, but he soon demonstrates his own talents that would lead him to become an "irregular student" of the school's rankings.

Tatsuya is described as a handsome man with a cold personality and loyalty to his sister, who develops romantic feelings for him. However, he is best known for being extremely overpowered, which has led him to being labeled a "Gary Stu" in online anime communities, and he has been affectionally called "anime Jesus" or "Jesus-kun" by its fans. The light novel is a best-seller in Japan, and he himself has appeared among the top 10 male characters of the famous Konorano rankings multiple times. Tatsuya and his sister are also prominently featured in Dengeki Bunko crossover games as playable characters.

Despite his popularity, the eponymous irregular student is relatively underpowered in the online anime character tournaments, due to the Chinese/Korean voters. He has made five appearances in the International Saimoe League's regular season, with his most recent entry being in the 2021 edition. Tatsuya has also appeared in all editions of r/anime's Best Guy contest, but has never advanced beyond the second round.

Also He has 0 appearances in Bilibili Moe main stage, because of the Novel's Historical/Political Issues.
