Looking into things, Tarosuke is, indeed, portioned in a way differing to that of the anime-ish characters...which is to say, "realistically".. Though I should also point out that he's an event scene character and, if I read that correctly, means that he isn't a major contributing factor to the gameplay...in other wrords, not directly playable. And even then, he's still classifiably "human-esque".
Still, nice they're bringing him back from Namco X Capcom, but at the rate they're including characters, I really won't be totally surprised unless we get, say, a playable quatruped. Like Amaterasu. Or....okay, just Amaterasu. Even as just a summon like Ulala.
