Tecchou Suehiro

Tecchou is a young man with wild brown hair that strays in numerous directions, with bangs falling in front of his face and Amber-colored eyes. He also has an ahoge. Tecchou has extremely sharp teeth, almost like a sharks’. He also has two thin pieces of hair that are longer than the others in the back. He wears the standard red Hunting Dogs uniform, which includes a standard military uniform, a long cape and tall black boots, hat, complete with a military saber. Tecchou wears black fingerless gloves and beneath his left eye, he has three tiny, cherry blossom petal-shaped, distinctive markings. Compared to his peers, Tecchou has a much more serious personality, though he still fits the bill as an eccentric fellow. For instance, he has the habit of combining similar-colored food and eating them. For example, he puts shichimi spice on strawberries, sugar on white rice, and sauce for noodles on yōkan. He is also shown to eat a hard-boiled egg with its shell still on, observe an ant colony for eight straight hours, and perform muscle training intermittently, even during meetings. As a Hunting Dog, Tecchou takes his role seriously and has a strong penchant for justice. Thus far, he seems to be the least cruel among the Hunting Dogs, voicing out his dislike for people who torture others during their investigations, including Saigiku Jouno (his partner). As such, he is willing to use his status to get the wanted members of the Armed Detective Agency and their accomplice Lucy Maud Montgomery a free trial after the owner of Café Uzumaki wants to protect them, showing that he has sympathy for people who just want to help those they know. Tecchou’s ability, Plum Blossoms in Snow allows him to increase the size, shape, and length of his sword. However, this has only been demonstrated with his saber and is unknown whether or not he can do this with other weapons. The Hunting Dogs is an official special military division tasked by the government to hunt down and capture Ability users with powerful dangerous Abilities when they begin abusing them and using them for criminal or terrorist actions, making them one of the most powerful military units available to the government. The Hunting Dogs are also known to be one of the strangest if not the most bizarre group in the military due to the several unique personalities and quirks of its members and its leader's own eccentricities and bizarre habits. The Hunting Dogs is known to be the most powerful Ability User Task Force within the nation of Japan with a undefeated track record in mission successes and a high attrition rate of survival. In effect, this grants them an immense sway over the government, especially to the various law enforcement agencies and groups of the country, as seen where several of its members were able to order around even members of the Special Division for Unusual Powers and overturn their authority when ordered into investigations. Due to their immense success, the Hunting Dogs have even garnered international stardom and have even been requested by other countries to assist them in handling Ability related operations and crisis's globally. For instance, their leader Ōchi Fukuchi was noted to have handled numerous high risk supernatural missions and defeated several powerful Ability users that eventually earned him immense international fame. In order to join the unit, the candidate must first agree to being surgically altered by the government prior to being accepted into the group, where their bodies would then be physically altered and enhanced to grant them superhuman abilities such as enhanced speed, reflexes, strength, durability and stamina by the groups' Abilities engineer. However, these modifications are also known to be the method the government uses to maintain control of the Hunting Dogs according to Saigiku Jōno in his attempts to recruit Doppo Kunikida. As described by Teruko Ōkura regarding the commitment of being a Hunting Dog, the moment the surgery is completed, the physical changes to the potential recruit's bodies would need monthly surgeries to maintain their new bodies that would otherwise break down and self destruct on its own by rotting from the inside out if left alone. This insures that even if the new member isn't actually loyal to the group itself, they have no choice but to comply and stay in the unit or die, broadening the potential candidates to even wanted criminals. Also the pay is good in the Hunting Dogs as well as the members being popular with the ladies. The members of the Hunting Dogs include Suehiro Tecchou, Saigiku Jouno, Okura Teruko (Vice-captain), Tachihara Michizō, and Ōchi Fukuchi (Captain/Commander). Tecchou is said to have the strongest ability in the Hunting Dogs in terms of physical prowess. He is quite adept in negotiating with others during interrogation, preferring communication over force in extracting his needed information out of his targets. Notably, his negotiation approach is quite opposite to Jouno’s threatening interrogation tactic. Tecchou brandishes his sword the most among the Hunting Dogs and has a rather formal personality.
