Tahu

"Enough of this bickering. We will accomplish nothing by standing here and having a debate. The decision is made - we split into small groups. It's the best of both worlds, don't you agree?"

- Tahu, to Toa Mata

Tahu is the main protagonist and is also one of the heroes in the Bionicle series.

Personality
Tahu was very strong and brave but was also the fiercest and the most feared. His ideas sometimes clashed with Kopaka's, however they had a mutual respect for each other. His flaming temper could make him hotheaded and irrational at times. Since he had the least patience of the Toa he would jump into a situation without thinking, which could get him, and the other Toa, into a predicament, however this changed as he matured. He was, however, very courageous and fiercely protective of his comrades.

As the series progressed, Tahu eventually became forgetful, which was known to get him into trouble. However as Tahu also had a tendency to be very lucky, he always managed to come out on the top.

 * Tahu is the only Toa to possess the Rahkshi Powers upon defeating Teridax in Bara Magna as his Golden Armors were likely to have consumed Teridax's Rahkshi powers during the confrontation.
