Tetsuya Ishihara

Tetsuya Ishihara (石原徹也 Ishihara Tetsuya) is a member of the yakuza. Upon being accepted into the family as a hoax during his teenage years, he successfully worked his way up and eventually became a proper member, ultimately becoming the family's second lieutenant (Shateigashira), and most trusted friend of Kakkou.

Appearance

 * Tetsuya is a young man with an average build. He has slightly tan skin, which features large tattoos across his back and arms. Both of his light brown eyes are commonly framed by dark, purple-blue smokey eye-shadow, as well as eyeliner. His hair is black with a faint hue of dark blue, the majority messily styled back with hair gel, whereas part of it hangs into his face. The left side above his ear is partly shaved.


 * Several piercings cover Tetsuya's body - five in his left ear (four through the helix, one in the lobe), three in his right (two through the helix, one in the lobe), one in his tongue, straight barbells through both of his nipples and one captive bead ring through his frenum.

Background

 * Tetsuya was born to Michisato and Fujiko Ishihara as the first and only child of the Ishihara family.

Trivia

 * Tetsuya has asthma and furthermore suffers from a pet allergy. When he was younger, his asthma was frequently triggered by his cat Peanut, which ended up being the main reason why he could not keep him and left the tom with his father. Ironically, that was also the reason for the cat's name, as Tetsuya is allergic to peanuts, too. Prior the time skip of ten years, he still suffers from occasional asthma attacks, while the symptoms have increased noticeably after the ten years have passed.
 * Kakkou is aware of Tetsuya's sickness and therefore does not smoke in his presence. Tetsuya also rarely visits Kakkou in his apartment, if not absolutely necessary, as he fears he could get an allergic reaction because of Tsumugi.
 * He is an alcoholic and prone to substance abuse.
