Tetsuo Shima Husbando

Tetsuo Shima was a member of a teenage biker gang and the main protagonist of Akira. After a near-collision with Takashi and being experimented by the Japanese military government, he rapidly develops powerful, psychic abilities. Tetsuo goes on a power trip as his newfound abilities grow, eventually leading him to his own destruction. Tetsuo is a young man of below-average height with a slight, top-muscular build and no bangs. He has slight darker skin and a large forehead. Psychic powers alter his appearance; his short, slightly textured black hair grows, shortens, and becomes white. After losing his right arm at the end of the second volume, he creates a bionic arm to replace it for much of the story but recovers later his lost human limb. He wears a light-colored hoodie with pants, he also wears boots at the beginning of Volume 1. Near the end of Volume 1 he changes into a white tank top, but he keeps his pants and boots. In Volume 2, he wears his 2nd outfit from the 1st Volume at the very beginning but later changes to a hospital gown after being admitted to the lab again. After hearing about Akira, Tetsuo escapes from the lab again and puts on a fur jacket, white pants, and dress shoes (as seen to the right). Tetsuo finds Akira, but is then thought to be killed at the end of Volume 2 by the SOL Satellite. Akira is then taken in by Kaneda and Kei. Tetsuo is then never seen throughout most of the 3rd Volume until the very end, where he finds Akira again after Takashi had been shot and killed by Mr. Nezu. Tetsuo is seen in a ripped up trench coat, and ripped pants, it appears he also is wearing boots. In Volume 4, you can see Tetsuo with Akira working as his right hand man. Tetsuo is seen wearing a t-shirt, a cape (probably red), sweat pants, and is wearing shoes that resemble the shoes he wore with his hospital gown in the movie. In Volume 5, the cape he donned is now gone about halfway through the manga, and he cut his hair after growing it out is Volume 4. In Volume 5, Tetsuo also begins his monstrous transformation after ravaging the moon for an assembly, and a fight with Kei. Tetsuo’s hair also grows back incredibly fast, but it becomes white in the process. In Volume 6, Tetsuo becomes a giant blob after losing control of his psychic abilities. One of the youngest members of a motorcycle gang led by his best friend Shotaro Kaneda, he initially has problems with being seen as little more than an inexperienced "junior" member. He is enthusiastic about motorbiking, but can't seem to 'catch up' to his friends much of the time. He is perceived both by himself and others, somewhat, as weak and introverted, though this is not necessarily a correct assessment of his character. His misdirected views and intentions and his stubborn nature and naivete about the consequences of his actions lead to conflict. When he was injured and later incarcerated by experimentation of the government, he begins to take on a corrupt and arrogant attitude. Throughout the story, he reflects more openly on feeling bossed around by others and exhibits an inferiority complex even after gaining destructive powers. He enjoys driving motorcycles, however after receiving his powers, he doesn't care about them any more.
