Plot
He first appeared in a flashback in Episode 005. Tetsu was the boxing coach of Tetsukado Shin, encouraging him to start punching instead of being on the defense always during a boxing match. During the second flashback on the same episode, he was shown to be encouraging Shin to not run away from punches. His belief and important quote resembled that to what Matsukaze Tenma said to Tetsukado Shin. Tetsu became the reason why Shin stayed at Shinsei Inazuma Japan during the withdrawal test.
