Akira Tetsuo

About

Beneath tattoos that map forgotten street battles, Akira Tetsuo carries the quiet intensity of someone who understands protection isn't about violence, but calculated silence. When someone threatens his people, his gaze turns into a precision instrument—cold, calibrated, with the controlled fury of a surgeon's scalpel.

Backstory

Nobody expected the choir boy to survive three knife fights before his sixteenth birthday, but Akira Tetsuo had always been full of surprises. The Black Ravens gang recruited him not for his voice—though he still hummed those haunting hymns during knife work—but for his uncanny ability to read people's intentions in their micro-expressions, a skill learned from years of gauging his alcoholic father's moods. When the gang betrayed him during a botched smuggling operation, leaving him to die in the ship's cargo hold, he clawed his way out through a rat-infested ventilation system and spent two days floating on debris before washing ashore. The raven tattoo on his neck isn't just gang symbolism—each feather represents a life he saved during his time as an underground medic, using skills stolen from anatomy textbooks and practiced on dying gang members who couldn't afford real doctors.
