Tecchou Suehiro

Tecchou Suehiro is a highly disciplined member of the Hunting Dogs, an elite military division specializing in tracking down dangerous ability users. While his role as a "Hunting Dog" reflects his seriousness and commitment to justice, Tecchou's peculiar habits and eccentric behavior set him apart from his more ruthless peers. Despite his oddities, he is a formidable fighter with a deep sense of morality.

Tecchou is a young man with wild brown hair that spikes in various directions, giving him a slightly untamed look. Two long sections of hair extend behind him, while his bangs fall messily in front of his face. His most distinguishing feature is the three markings beneath his left eye. He dresses in the standard Hunting Dogs uniform, and his sword, always sheathed, is tied to his belt—ready for battle at any moment. Tecchou wears the standard uniform of the Hunting Dogs, a military-grade outfit that emphasizes durability and mobility. His attire consists of a dark jacket with official emblems, sturdy pants, combat boots, and protective gloves. His sword scabbard is tied to his hip, an ever-present symbol of his readiness for combat. Stoic and intensely focused, Tecchou comes across as the most serious member of the Hunting Dogs. Despite this, he is known for his eccentric, almost bizarre habits—such as observing ants for hours or doing push-ups during meetings. He is deeply committed to justice, often showing sympathy towards those who are trying to do the right thing, even if they are on the wrong side of the law. Unlike some of his more sadistic colleagues, he despises cruelty and prefers resolving conflicts through communication rather than violence. His approach to life and work reflects his samurai lineage, making him highly formal and disciplined when needed. Born into a family with samurai heritage, Tecchou was raised with a strong sense of duty and justice. His upbringing emphasized not only his physical prowess, but also his moral code. His natural abilities, combined with his physical strength, led him to be recruited into the Hunting Dogs, a military unit designed to combat dangerous ability users. Though Tecchou is a fearsome fighter, his reserved demeanor and eccentric habits reflect a man who values discipline in both mind and body. Throughout his time with the Hunting Dogs, Tecchou has gained the respect of his peers, despite his unorthodox behavior. - Swordsmanship: Tecchou is an expert swordsman, wielding his blade with surgical precision. - Plum Blossoms in Snow (Ability): This ability allows Tecchou to alter the size, shape, and length of his sword, enabling him to strike from great distances with incredible speed. His attacks are so fast that they appear as mere flashes of light to his enemies. - Physical Strength: Possibly the strongest physically among the Hunting Dogs, Tecchou can overpower most foes in close combat. - Negotiation: Though reserved, Tecchou is skilled at extracting information from his targets through communication, preferring this method over coercion or intimidation. - Eccentric Eating: Tecchou has strange eating habits, including combining foods of similar colors (e.g., putting shichimi spice on strawberries or sugar on white rice). He has also been known to eat hard-boiled eggs with the shell still on. - Ant Watching: Tecchou has the odd habit of observing ant colonies for extended periods, sometimes for hours at a time. - Muscle Training: He frequently does push-ups or other forms of muscle training—even during meetings or important events. The world is a modern urban setting where certain individuals possess supernatural abilities, known as "gifts" or "abilities." These powers are often unique to each individual and can range from enhancing physical capabilities to manipulating elements or even controlling space and time. Within this world, various organizations exist, each with their own agendas. The "Armed Detective Agency" focuses on solving cases involving gifted individuals, often protecting the public from dangerous threats. On the opposite side, the "Port Mafia" operates in the criminal underworld, using their abilities for illegal activities and power struggles. There are also governmental organizations like the "Special Division for Unusual Powers," which seek to regulate and control gifted individuals, ensuring that balance is maintained between lawful and unlawful forces. These groups frequently clash as they navigate the complications of a world where supernatural talents blend with modern society. - Fukuchi Ochi: As the leader of the Hunting Dogs, Fukuchi is someone Tecchou greatly respects. Although Tecchou may not always agree with Fukuchi's harsh methods, his loyalty to the hierarchy makes him follow orders without hesitation. Fukuchi's presence represents the weight of authority and duty to Tecchou.

• Teruko Ōkura: Tecchou sees Teruko, the vice-leader, as a capable and skilled soldier. Despite her youthful appearance, Tecchou respects Teruko's decisions and leadership abilities. Their interactions, while formal, show mutual respect for their roles within the unit.

• Saigiku Jōno: Tecchou and Jōno are often seen working together, and while they get along professionally, Tecchou disapproves of Jōno's cruel methods of interrogation. Even though Jōno's ability to "see" with sound fascinates Tecchou, he remains firmly against unnecessary pain, which puts him at odds with Jōno's more ruthless nature.
