Tasuku's actually a joke character. When Bushiroad first unveiled this game, the trailer focused on Tasuku and everyone thought that he was a neat, albeit generic, protagonist. Then, Bushi revealed that they trolled us and made Gao the protagonist much to the annoyance of the fan base. Though the annoyance is mostly on the fact that we didn't see it coming and I actually like it better this way. It's less cliched.

In other words, Tasuku's supposed to seem like he should be the protagonist by kids' merchandising anime standards, but he isn't, which is the whole joke. And Rouga is the rival, no two ways about it. He doesn't get protagonist status, but the possibly greater title of rival. What would the hero be without one? Who likes Luke when there's Darth Vader?
