Tadanori Sanbe (三部忠則, Sanbe Tadanori) is a second year student at Yamakita University, who joins Shuichi Kagaya and Claire Aoki.

Appearance
Tadanori is a young man with a very short black hair. His eyes are usually always almost shut. From the numerous battles he had, he has scars all over his body and a big vertical one across his left eye.

In his monster form, he turns into a larger skeleton warrior with long swords as arms.

Personality
Tadanori loves to battle, because of that he took different martial arts. He also follows his manly code and doesn't want a cell phone. He gets embarrassed seeing a woman without much clothes and would turn his eyes elsewhere. When he found a coin and gave it to the Alien, it made him stronger, but no human was match to him, so he was disappointed and there was no longer a sense of accomplishment. The Alien had told him where he can find more monsters, so he went in the mountain the spaceship crashed and started looking for monsters to fight.

Plot
Tadanori was exploring the forest when Shuichi and Claire approached him. He was surprised as usually other Collectors avoid him when they see him, so this was a first for him. Claire wanted to talk, but Tadanori didn't knew much about the coins and while thinking it was unfortunately she is a girl, he was in the forest looking for a fight. As he isn't interested in the coins, the Alien had told him, he can find other people to fight here. Shuichi attacked him, but Tadanori blocked and commented he now knew he was physically stronger. Claire then took over and started fighting Tadanori and landed a hit, but it didn't had any effect at all. Claire admitted he was stronger and commented they are dangerous people that if collect all the coins it will be bad, but Tadanori wonder how can he knew she isn't one of those dangerous people. Claire then shot Shuichi's gun, but Tadanori blocked it with his swords, realizing he can block bullets too. He undid his transformation and his arm was bleeding and introduced himself. He explained he needed to think of his own martial arts and twisted his body backwards and started to transform. As he did, his sword stuck on the ground behind him and gathering all the strength he had, he unleashed an attack slamming the ground in front of him, causing a long crater. As Claire and Shuichi had escaped, he commented he needs more precision than brute strength. He went looking for them in the forest and Shuichi caught and hold him. Tadanori though Claire was disrespecting him as he was obviously stronger, but then Claire appeared behind him with her gun pointed at Tadanori. Hearing her voice he realized this was the monster he had been fighting, but then wondered what was holding him and if it was a doll she can control. Shuichi then spoke and Tadanori realized they were two of them and the woman was just a human. Knowing how powerful the gun was, he knew that if she shoots it, she will kill herself too, Tadanori decided to give up and undid his transformation and got crushed by Shuichi who was still holding him.

As he woke up later, he admitted defeat and was ready to be killed, but Claire had no intentions as that would not gain her anything. She wanted his cell phone, but Tadanori didn't had one as it wasn't manly. Another monster then appeared, who had taken photos of them and wanted to make them his slaves. But seeing how disrespectful it was, Tananori had no issues killing him and transformed and slashed him in two. Tadanori then undid his transformation and sat down, asking Claire what she wants from him and she told him she wants he to search coins with them and that way he will get plenty of opportunities to fight other monsters. Tadanori accepted and then asked Shuichi what his relationship was with Claire, who then explained she enters him and fight. He wondered if the idea to split was hers, but Shuichi said it was his and he wanted she to run, while he holds Tadanori down. Hearing that, Tadanori commented that Shuichi was a true man and confirmed once more, he will be helping them out.
