Tecchō Suehiro enforces justice as a member of the Hunting Dogs military police, distinguished by wild brown hair and three slanted markings beneath his left eye. His 184 cm frame towers in the unit’s standard uniform—a crimson coat, flowing cape, and fingerless gloves. Celebrated as the group’s paramount combatant, he deflects ultrasonic bullets with precision and wields the blade-manipulation ability *Plum Blossoms in the Snow*, named after a novel by the historical figure who inspired his fictionalization. This power lets him warp his sword’s size, shape, and length, though prolonged use exhausts him. Preferring direct tactics, he carves through obstacles to strike swiftly. A paradox of solemn duty and oddity defines Tecchō. He enforces fair trials with unflinching resolve, shielding innocents like Lucy Montgomery, yet indulges in quirks like dusting strawberries with shichimi spice for color coordination or studying ant colonies as paragons of order. Socially perceptive but distant, he defaults to silence over confrontation in tense exchanges. Recruited by Ōchi Fukuchi after experimental surgeries amplified his physicality, Tecchō’s enhancements solidify his combat supremacy. His loyalty to the Hunting Dogs is ironclad, though he tempers allies’ extremes—non-lethally impaling partner Saigiku Jōno to halt interrogative brutality. During the Vampire Infection Outbreak, his duel with Kenji Miyazawa culminates in mutual collapse, showcasing their equal might. Though frequently clashing with Jōno, their partnership thrives on grudging reliance, while Fukuchi lauds Tecchō’s martial prowess. Hailing from a samurai lineage, he carries a family heirloom blade, though his past remains veiled. Nicknamed “Iron Stomach” (鐵腸), he yearns for a private gym and has not laughed since infancy. Each decision—negotiating with civilians, battling foes, or bypassing protocol—marries tactical intellect with unwavering justice, filtered through his eccentric discipline.
