Je suis Vladimir. Vlad pour court. Comme l'empaleur. Mais la seule chose que je pourrais empaler en ce moment, ce sont mes oreilles, juste pour que je puisse arrêter d'écouter ça. Tetsu pensait que c'était un nom très étrange pour un étudiant qui ressemblait... à ça. "Et toi?" Tout comme Vlad avait fini de se présenter, il entendit quelque chose qui l'intéressait beaucoup vers le podium. Le tournoi Iron Fist. "Tu ferais mieux d'être celui qui signe une putain de renonciation!" Alors qu'il se grincait légèrement les dents, Tetsu ne pensait qu'à ce qu'il donnerait au gouvernement étudiant dans six mois. "Calm down... passez votre temps à vous préparer et ils n'auront plus aucune chance..." Relaxant une fois de plus, Tetsu tourna encore une fois son attention vers Vladimir.
Il avait rarement donné son nom avant dans une simple conversation, mais ça ne ferait pas de mal d'être ami avec ce gars, non? "Mon nom est Tetsunosuke Shoji, mais vous pouvez m'appeler Tetsu. Quelle année êtes-vous?" C'était un peu bizarre d'être en interaction avec un autre étudiant pendant si longtemps sans aucun équipement d'entraînement. Les choses les plus proches de ses amis Tetsunosuke ont été ses partenaires de formation dans les clubs et les cours auxquels il a participé tout au long de l'année scolaire. "Peut-être pouvons-nous être amis? Qui sait."

If he seems to be going nowhere with the way he is fighting, he will create space and try something else. He adapts to situations very well and does not respond well to cheating.

History: At the age of 4, Tetsu began training at a small Karate Dojo in his neighborhood located in Northern Tokyo. He took lessons and excelled at the dojo for 7 years. During his time there, he would watch MMA on television whenever he wasn't training or at school. Mesmerized, he vowed to be like the fighters he watched so intently on his small tube t.v. Eventually, Tetsunosuke began training at another facility to further his knowledge of other styles in order to prepare him to capture the dream he held so dear. It is here at an MMA gym that he would study the disciplines known as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai along with Wrestling. He is considered a prodigy by many who have witnessed his exploits in the competitive circuit for the styles that he trains in. His many skills gained him sponsorship from a couple high profile martial arts brands and an invitation to Shinjuku Academy once he was of high school age.
During his first three years at Shinjuku, Tetsu Mostly kept to himself; focusing on training and his physique. While he detested the way weaker students are treated, he mostly tried to ignore it and keep himself out of as many fights as possible. However, this is not to say that he has not fought against other students. The few times that Tetsunosuke has been left without choice or chose to fight, based on his honor, he completely dismantled his opponents in the quickest and most effective way. Of course, this was only against lower tier bullies. As a result, nobody really made a big fuss about Tetsu and his abilities. Anybody who had heard of him and his competition exploits while a younger child/teen had simply just assumed that he couldn't keep up once he was at an elite school and so he was forgotten while at Shinjuku and away from competition.
He had never chosen to enter The Iron Fist Tournament, but he was now a senior and this year was different. Tetsu had begun to grow tired of the current attitude many of the schools student government members possessed and the way they treated the other students, so a decision was made on his part to put a stop to it once and for all. He plans to quietly enter the tournament to dethrone the president along with his lackeys. Nobody yet knows of this plan however, so Tetsu is still without much attention at the beginning of his senior year.
Dreams and Fears: Tetsunosuke dreams of being Champion of the world in whatever MMA organization is most popular. He wants to be known as the best and retire undefeated once he makes his pro debut. After retirement, Tetsu wishes to run his very own training facility and bring up a new generation of fighters and champions.
Tetsu fears crushing defeat and losing the sight and motivation necessary to accomplish his goals.
