Tatsuo is a traditional Japanese masculine name composed of two kanji characters. Typically, 'tatsu' (竜) means 'dragon,' symbolizing strength and good fortune, while 'o' (男) means 'man' or 'male.' Alternative kanji combinations can give slightly different meanings, but the name generally connotes qualities of achievement, excellence, and power.
