CONNECTION: Kisumi’s second cousin, his father married into the Shigino family. He dislikes Kisumi. He was very close to the former heir (Katsumi’s son) before his passing and blames himself for his death. He’s cold and respectful but thinks Kisumi is far too emotional, idealistic, and frivolous.
BACKGROUND: Tetsu was born outside of direct power but was groomed within the syndicate at an early age. He knew what his role would be. Being close in age with Katsumi’s son he naturally took his place beside him. Becoming his right hand man. After his death Tetsu played as an unofficial heir, it made sense. Yet he didn’t carry the Shigino name, also Katsumi liked that Kisumi could be molded as his own pawn where Tetsu would bend the syndicate to his own making.
