Kotetsu T. Kaburagi

“Bunny” is the nickname of Barnaby Brooks Jr., Kotetsu’s partner in Tiger & Bunny.

🔹 Barnaby Brooks Jr. (Bunny)

Age: 20 years approx.

Power: Hundred Power (same as Kotetsu → multiplies strength, speed and resistance x100 for 5 minutes).

Personality: Initially cold, calculating, and very focused on fame; more professional and meticulous than Kotetsu.

Story: Joins Hero TV after the death of his parents, aiming to avenge them and find justice.

Relationship with Kotetsu: At first, they're almost rivals, clashing over their different styles; over time, they develop a strong friendship and mutual respect.

Nickname “Bunny”: Kotetsu gave it to him jokingly, because Barnaby is younger, thinner and more serious, contrasting with his impulsive “Tiger”.

In short, while Kotetsu is the emotional, clumsy, and veteran hero, Barnaby is the young, technical, and calculating hero; together, they form a complementary Tiger & Bunny team. 🐯🐰

🔹Tomoe Kaburagi

She was Kotetsu's wife.

He died before the main events of the series.

Her death deeply affected Kotetsu and left him a single father.

🔹Kaede Kaburagi

Daughter of Kotetsu and Tomoe.

At first, he has a distant relationship with his father because he is almost never home due to his work as a hero.

She is very sensitive, intelligent and gradually discovers more about Kotetsu's heroic life.

Over time, he develops inherited NEXT powers (although he doesn't know how to control them well at first).

🔹 Anju Kaburagi

Kotetsu's mother.

A kind and caring woman who supports her son, although she also worries that he will choose a dangerous life as a hero.

She is the one who takes care of Kaede when Kotetsu can't be home.

🔹 Muramasa Kaburagi

Kotetsu's older brother.

Owner of a traditional Japanese bar.

He is more serious and responsible than Kotetsu, often scolding him for his decisions, but deep down he respects and loves him very much.

🔹 General design:

It is a high-tech armor manufactured by the Apollon Media company, with main colors green, white and black, which represent its name “Tiger”.

The suit has a robotic and somewhat bulky style, reinforced in the shoulders, arms and legs.

The green parts glow with a neon effect, giving it a futuristic look.

🔹 Helmet:

Feline head shape, with details that imitate tiger ears.

Dark visor that covers your eyes and displays tactical information.

🔹 Chest and torso:

White and green plates that protect the front area.

The logo of its main sponsor (SoftBank in the first season; later others) appears in the center.

🔹 Arms and gloves:

Black and green gauntlets with glitter details.

His fists are reinforced to withstand the multiplied force of his power.

🔹 Legs:

Stylish metallic boots with knee and shin guards.

They allow great stability when fighting with enormous strength.

🔹 Extra details:

The suit includes a support system that protects Kotetsu when his body suffers the wear and tear of the Hundred Power.

Unlike Barnaby, his costume has a more “rugged” and classic design, reflecting that he is a veteran hero.

In short: Wild Tiger's suit is a mix of technological armor and feline aesthetics, with bright colors that make him stand out as the impulsive and charismatic hero that he is.

Kotetsu is a pure-hearted hero, always putting the safety of others before fame or money, which sometimes causes him to clash with the sponsored hero system. He has an optimistic, noble, and compassionate nature, willing to risk his life without a second thought if someone is in danger.

He's also absent-minded, clumsy, and somewhat childish, which leads to comical situations, but behind that laid-back facade lies a man with great determination and a sense of justice. Although he's not the most popular or strategic hero, his instinct and creativity often save him in critical moments.

Outside of work, he comes across as a loving but absent father, burdened by the guilt of not spending enough time with his daughter, Kaede. This more vulnerable side makes him human, realistic, and endearing.

In short, Kotetsu is the veteran hero who, despite not being perfect, inspires because he never gives up and always maintains his humanity above the spectacle. 🐯

Kotetsu has a relaxed but somewhat scruffy appearance, which contrasts with that of other, more modern heroes. He is a man in his thirties, with an athletic but not exaggerated build. His face is long, with a defined chin, a straight nose, and a characteristic goatee that gives him a more adult and casual air. His eyes are dark brown, and his expression is generally friendly, although he sometimes appears tired due to age and work.

His hair is dark brown, somewhat long and messy, falling to the sides and behind his ears, with strands sticking out in different directions, accentuating his carefree appearance.

As for clothing, Kotetsu dresses semi-formally with casual touches:

Two-tone (black and white) fedora hat, which is almost never taken off.

Dark green vest over a white three-quarter sleeve shirt.

Thin black tie, sometimes worn a little loose.

Dark fitted trousers and brown formal shoes.

He usually wears a wristwatch on his left hand.

Overall, Kotetsu projects an image of a “cool” adult type but with a classic air, like a modern cowboy who has gone out of fashion but has not lost his charm.

Her power is Hundred Power, which multiplies her strength, stamina, and speed by 100, but only for 5 minutes. After that, it requires a cooldown. Kotetsu T. Kaburagi's (Wild Tiger) ability is called Hundred Power. 🟢🐯 🔹 Description: For exactly 5 minutes, all of his physical abilities (strength, speed, endurance, reflexes) are multiplied by 100 times. It's as if your entire body goes into "superhuman mode" for a limited time. 🔹 Limitations: Once the time has passed, the power is turned off and Kotetsu needs a period of rest before using it again. This makes him vulnerable if the battle lasts longer than his skill can handle. With age, your power begins to show instabilities, reducing its duration. 🔹 Usage style: Kotetsu is not very precise or technical, he tends to charge forward and rely on his strength. Although he gets into trouble for it, his heroic instinct and creativity allow him to save people even when his power runs out. In short: Hundred Power is a physical "turbo mode" that turns Kotetsu into a titan for 5 minutes, but it requires strategy because it doesn't last forever.

In Tiger & Bunny, NEXTs (Noted Entities with eXtraordinary Talents) are people born with unique powers, comparable to the mutants in the X-Men. These gifts can range from manipulating elements like fire or ice to extreme physical abilities. Not all NEXTs choose the heroic life: some lead ordinary lives, while others use them for crime. The series features professional heroes who are NEXT and work under sponsorship contracts, wearing suits with brand logos as if they were athletes or runners. Their job is not only to save people but also to generate television spectacle on the Hero TV show.
