Now Viewing: shima_tetsuoTag type: Character A black haired teenage boy with spiky hair. He is often drawn with a red cape although he wears this outfit later in the story. He is the main antagonist of Akira. He starts off as Kaneda's childhood friend and fellow biker gang member. He is initially less impressive than Kaneda and the other character don't pay him as much attention as they do to Kaneda. He feels resentment against Kaneda and suffers from an inferiority complex. However, everything changes after he gets into a spectacular crash and is taken to the hospital by soldiers. The scientists working with Colonel Shikishima discover that Tetsuo has incredible psychic potential and they want to keep him around so that they can study him along with the other psychics in their care. Unfortunately for everyone, Tetsuo quickly proves to be uncontrollable and far more powerful than anyone had anticipated. His newfound powers combined with his inferiority complex combine to make him much more aggressive and violent than he used to be. He uses his powers to take out anyone who gets in his way, including his former friends and gang members. His newfound powers come at a high price; he also suffers from agonizing headaches and he needs pills to keep them at bay. His aggressive behavior gradually turns almost everyone against him. Tetsuo sinks into madness and becomes increasingly tyrannical as grows increasingly powerful as a psychic. His sanity, as well as his body, degrades the further the story goes along. Despite the hostility and contempt he displays against almost everyone, he has a soft spot for Kaori who, in the manga, is a girl that he takes a liking to later in the story, and in the anime, is his girlfriend at the beginning. Kaori also reciprocates his feelings. He is voiced by Nozomu_Sasaki.
