Need help reading Kanji from "Tatsu" :)

So today I got a nice surprise in my mailbox! A letter from Toshishiro Obata who plays "Tatsu" in the 2 first TMNT movie. On the back of one of the signed photos he has written what I believe to be "Kanji" and I would really like to know what it says. Any helpers?

I'm not fluent, but fun tip, Google Translate has a hand written option. I've used it now and then for kanji with moderate success.

Betting Candy Kappa is probably right though, it does have a signature-like vibe to it since it doesn't look too clearly written.

This is his name written in Japanese: 小幡利城
