Chiaki Tanimura

is a member of Red Tail who can use four guns simultaneously.

Appearance
Chiaki is a slim, petite girl with short black hair and a small bust whose expression is often a deadpan. She wears the Ishiyama High School uniform and her skirt ends above the knee, but beneath it are remodeled airsoft guns strapped to her thighs but in the anime, they have become highly pressurized water guns.

Personality
She doesn't speak much, often using hand gestures and nods to express her meaning. Despite her standard expression and tendency to shoot first, ask questions later, she appears to have more of a feminine side than many of her fellow Red Tail members. She usually refers to girls who make cute faces [happy, innocent, etc.] as "so cute" especially to Aoi.

She also tends to shoot men that are hitting on Kunieda except for Oga as she realize that Kunieda is in love with Oga.

Nene Ōmori states that when it comes to video games, Tanimura's personality is completely different. As shown when she stated she practiced all night for a video game to prepare herself and to compensate for a previous video game loss.

Tōhōshinki Arc
Chiaki is first introduced along with fellow Red Tail member Aoi and Nene following the girls' return to school. While walking the hallways, a boy dives to the floor in an attempt to see her panties and she shoots at him until Aoi recommends she stop. She and Nene go to confront Oga soon after about his previous encounter with Aoi, and when they end up badly injured in the infirmary, the incident is blamed on him. In fact, they were beaten up by the MK5 in order to force Oga and Aoi to have a serious fight. Later, she and Nene encounter Furuichi and Oga at a swimming pool, where Furuichi's former upperclassmen unsuccessfully flirt with them.

When the vast majority of the Ishiyama High student body challenges Oga to prevent him from reaching Tōjō, Chiaki is among the Red Tail group who intervenes.

Saint Ishiyama Academy Arc
After the school's demise at the hands of a overpowered Oga, Chiaki and the rest of the Red Tail had to go to school at St. Ishiyama High, in room 3F while their school was being rebuilt. She appears as a support character and takes the outfit of a cheerleader to support the Ishiyama gang during the Six Horsemen vs. the Ishiyama gang volleyball match.

Return to Ishiyama High School
One day, she and the other Red Tail members find Aoi writing fortune cookie messages.

Later in the afternoon, several of the Red Tail, including Chiaki, head to the Kunieda residence where they see an injured Aoi being tended to her wounds by her grandfather. Aoi explains that she is fine, though the ones who attacked her were from Majōgari Academy, apparently led by Ringo Hōjō; upon hearing the name of Aoi's predecessor, an already-anxious Chiaki grows shocked.

A meeting is eventually held outside; among the attendees are the other Red Tail and Tōhōshinki. After several back-and-forth conversation, they all decide to gather information on the "Killer Six Elements" before launching an attack; moreover, a private fight will be held between Yōhei Nasu and Tatsumi Oga. Problems soon arise with Kanzaki's and Himekawa's disapproval of Oga as their leader. It is eventually decided that a game of rock-paper-scissors will decide their alliance's leader and everyone, including Chiaki, participates. The results conclude with Baby Beel being their leader.

The following day, Chiaki and Nene follow Seiji Kameyama of the Poltergeists, where they see that he is buying a drink from a vending machine. Chiaki reports their findings to Kanzaki and Furuichi. During so, she comments on how everything feels very similar to to when they all played that video game. After some time, Nene points out an apparent change in the Poltergeist's face, though Chiaki fails to see any different with his appearance. Suddenly, his face slowly melts away before their very eyes. As Nene and Chiaki begin to comprehend what has happened, both become wide-eyed and mortified at they have seen.

Chiaki later overcomes her immense shock and regroups with the rest of the Red Tail. When news of the planned battle between Aoi and Ringo reaches them, all of the Red Tail members, including Chiaki, head out to the front lines. Along the way, they are confronted by those of the "Reborn Red Tail".

Powers & Abilities
Though showing minimal physical strength, Tanimura has dual modified airguns which she keeps strapped to her thighs. Though she is rarely shown using them, she is an expert marksman.

On a side note, she has unexpected experience in video gaming. She reveals she has a younger brother who usually asks her to play with him during two player games.

Techniques

 * Simultaneous barrage: Tanimura reveals she keeps more than two guns with her. She possesses the incredible ability to use four guns almost all at once. After firing the dual guns she currently wields, she tosses both guns into the air while quickly grabbing the other two she has and repeating the process. In the anime, the technique is further elaborated when she uses this ability the first (and so far the only) time during the Ishiyama assault against the MK5.

Trivia
