Tetora Nagumo/Profile

Serious and single-minded, Tetora can only focus on one thing at a time. He's a hard worker, but his enthusiasm is usually fruitless. He can't do detailed tasks because he's not very good with his hands. He admires the third year and karate club captain Kuro Kiryu, affectionately referring to him as "boss" (Taishou). Since Tetora has a goal of becoming a man among men, he looks up to his Taishou for manly virtues.

He claims to be a good cook, but actually causes fires often whenever he cooks. He is good friends with his classmates Tomoya Mashiro and Hajime Shino, as well as his teammates Shinobu Sengoku and Midori Takamine. He is in a sensitive stage of his youth, which often causes him to have a deadpan reaction to RYUSEITAI leader Chiaki Morisawa's zealousness. However, he does respect him as a senior. He's RYUSEITAI's RYUSEI Black.

Appearance
Tetora is a slightly shorter than average boy with a regular build. His hair is black and spiky with red streaks on the bangs and side of his head. His eyes are a bright amber. Tetora wears the school's uniform with an untucked white shirt, unbuttoned blazer, as well as a red tie. He wears brown sneakers with dull yellow laces.

On stage, he wears the black color version of RYUSEITAI's uniform. It includes a black leather jacket with white accents and a black shirt underneath. He also wears black form-fitting pants, accessorized with a star on a belt that has red and yellow strings dangling from it and wrap around the waist. He also wears tall white boots with black accents, as well as a pair of black fingerless gloves.

Trivia

 * Tetora's first name literally means "iron tiger," which is perhaps befitting of his energetic personality. His last name literally means "southern clouds."
 * Tetora's autograph consists of only his first name, rendered in kanji. The final stroke of the character for "tora" (meaning "tiger") is slightly elongated and stylized like a tiger's tail.
 * His hair colour, black with red streaks, matches Kuro Kiryu from 3-B.
 * He originally wanted to be in Akatsuki, following along Kuro's footsteps, but was ultimately happy with being in RYUSEITAI.

Spoilers :
 * As shown in Climax and Strawberry Colored Holiday, Chiaki passed Ryuuseitai's leader position to Tetora after he graduated.
