~ Kopaka's thought about Tahu.
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.
However as Tahu also had a tendency to be very lucky, he always managed to come out on the top. He is also very optimistic and was very determined and courageous.
