Description
Michio Tsukui, also known by the alias Dotsuku, is the warrior representing the Dog in the twelfth Zodiac Tournament depicted in Juni Taisen: Zodiac War. He is a man in his twenties with black hair, black sclera, and blue irises, standing 177 centimeters tall and weighing 53 kilograms. His physical appearance is complemented by ears that resemble those of a dog, as well as sharp claws and fangs that serve as his primary weapons.
His background is marked by a striking duality. By public account, Tsukui works as a daycare teacher and receives high praise from both children and parents for his work. However, this position serves as a cover for his true profession: he secretly identifies children who possess particular gifts and delivers them to organizations that seek them. This double life reveals a pragmatic and morally ambiguous nature concealed beneath a warm exterior.
In terms of personality, Tsukui is calm, composed, and self-aware of his own strength and resourcefulness. He does not use weapons on principle, relying instead on his natural physical abilities. He is independent and self-reliant, preferring to work alone rather than form alliances. His demeanor is difficult to read, which makes his true intentions hard to discern.
His motivation for participating in the Zodiac Tournament is not explicitly detailed in available sources, but as a warrior who has taken on the burden of the Dog title, he enters the battle royale with the goal of surviving and claiming victory to have his wish granted. The tournament is a life-or-death contest where each warrior has swallowed a poison gem that will kill them in twelve hours, and the winner must collect all gems before the deadline.
In the story, Tsukui plays a relatively early role. He engages in combat using his fangs and claws, a fighting style that has earned his bite the fearful nickname Kyoukenbyou, or Mad Dog Disease, due to its crushing power. His fight ends when he is killed by Niwatori, the Rooster warrior, at the end of the second episode of the series. His early elimination means he does not undergo significant development, and his relationships with other warriors are limited by his short time in the tournament.
His notable abilities center on his physical prowess. He has extremely sharp claws and fangs, and his fighting technique involves biting his enemies. His fangs are described as capable of crushing anything, and his overall approach to combat is direct and primal, relying on his natural weapons rather than any manufactured arms.
