Shinnosuke Tsuji

"Impressive, Mikumo. Dining with three girls like it's nothing..."

- Shinnosuke Tsuji to Osamu Mikumo

Shinnosuke Tsuji is a B-rank (formerly A-rank) Attacker and a member of Ninomiya Squad.

Appearance
Tsuji is a tall, light-skinned young man of lean build with dark, narrowed eyes, a straight nose and smooth, short-to-medium jet-black hair. His battle uniform is a black three-piece suit, of which he leaves the jacket unbuttoned. He has a brown holster around his waist to hold the scabbard his Kogetsu. Outside of Border, he has been seen wearing a light-colored jacket with a high collar over a cardigan and a black undershirt, as well as light-colored shirts and trousers.

Personality
Tsuji is quiet and collected. However, his composure easily gives way to embarrassment whenever a girl speaks to him, to the point that he is not only unable to have a conversation with her, or even look her in the eye. The only exceptions are Hiyami and Hatohara. This extreme timidity causes him to be very guarded at school. In combat, he is very task-oriented and does not speak out of turn. He owns up to his mistakes without hesitation and he did not refrain from praising Hyuse's superior swordsmanship after the recruit bested him in combat.
