Tetchō and Jōno

Tetchō Suehiro
Saigiku Jōno

Compared to his classmates, Tetchō has a much more serious personality, though he still fits the mold of an eccentric. For example, he has a habit of combining foods of similar colors and eating them together. He might put shichimi spice on strawberries, sugar on white rice, and noodle sauce on yōkan. He's also shown eating a hard-boiled egg with the shell still on, observing an ant colony for eight hours straight, and engaging in intermittent muscle training, even during meetings.
As a Hunting Dog, Tetchō takes his role seriously and has a strong sense of justice. So far, he appears to be the least cruel among the Hunting Dogs, expressing his disgust at people who torture others during his investigations. He is quite formal, which reflects his samurai lineage.

Jōno has the calmest and most composed personality of the Hunting Dogs unit. However, he doesn't take interruptions or injustices lightly.

Jōno hides a ferocious temper behind composed expressions, laced with harsh threats and remarks directed at his comrades. Tetchō Suehiro is on the receiving end of many of these comments due to his unconventional nature, which easily exasperates Jōno. He even subtly reprimands his commander, Ōchi Fukuchi, for the latter's theatricality toward the troops and then threatens to shoot him in the back, demonstrating that his violent tendencies are no different from those of his comrades. He also tends to silently or aloud harbor ill will toward others with a rather antagonistic attitude toward him, including Tetchō and even a government official. Sensitive to his surroundings, Jōno also detests intense emotions and abrupt mood swings in those around him.

Contrary to Tetchō's interrogative nature, Jōno possesses a sadistic side when extracting information from his targets. As Tetchō noted, he has the infamous habit of tormenting others until they are forced to reveal the details he needs during investigations, which he seems to find amusing. Therefore, with such keen persistence in extracting information, Jōno believes he must be the team's "strongest hound" due to his expertise in investigating and apprehending criminals.

Tetchō is a young man with wild brown hair that sticks out in many directions, with bangs falling across his face. He also has two thin strands of hair down his back that are longer than the others. He wears the standard uniform of the hunting dogs. Below his left eye, he has three distinctive markings. He is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 76 kilograms.

Jōno is a young man with mostly white hair tipped with red. Being blind, he almost always keeps his eyes closed. Along with his Hunting Dogs uniform, he wears a long, silent bell-shaped earring in his right ear. He is 1.82 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms.

Tetchō's ability, Plum Blossoms in the Snow, allows him to increase the size, shape, and length of his sword. However, this has only been demonstrated with his saber, and it is unknown whether or not he can do it with other weapons.

Jōno's ability, Invaluable Tears, allows him to manipulate and disintegrate his own body into particles that enable him to slip through small spaces like air conditioners and door gaps to avoid attacks. This cluster of particles is said to resemble a twilight glow that is impervious to guns or swords.

Physical dexterity: Tetchō is said to have the strongest ability among Hunting Dogs in terms of physical dexterity.

Negotiation skills: He is quite adept at negotiating with others during interrogation, preferring communication to force to extract the necessary information from his targets. In particular, his negotiation approach is quite the opposite of Jōno's threatening interrogation tactics.

Enhanced Senses: To compensate for his blindness, Jōno claims that his other senses, including smell and hearing, are incredibly strong, allowing him to sense people's bodily processes such as perspiration, body temperature, muscle sounds, heartbeat, breathing, and even their resentment and inner emotions. This also allows him to "hear" his targets' secrets, making him invaluable during interrogations. As such, illusions have no effect on him. Furthermore, Jōno can track the location of certain targets by detecting their presence through the ground, which is useful during his hunting operations.

Interrogation expertise: He is also an expert and invaluable asset during investigations, especially in extracting information and secrets from fugitives and other targets, a skill he combines with his ability to achieve quick and efficient results. In particular, his interrogation tactics are quite the opposite of Tetchō's empathetic negotiation approach.
