Tetsuya #2

Posted: February 21, 2014 in Seirin Members

Tetsuya #2 (テツヤ二号 Tetsuya Nigō) is Tetsuya Kuroko‘s pet dog. He is taken care of by Kuroko and theSeirin team, and has become somewhat of the club’s mascot.[1] Kuroko also calls him #2.

Appearance

Tetsuya #2 is a puppy, an Alaskan Malamute. The top of his coat is black, while his tummy and legs are snow-white. He has two white spots for eyebrows. His most distinctive feature is that his eyes greatly resembleKuroko‘s, they are of the same color and are oval-shaped as well.[2] This is the reason why he is called Tetsuya #2.

Tetsuya #2 also sports a Seirin No. 16 jersey.

Personality

Obviously, Tetsuya #2 acts like a typical dog. He pees everywhere and barks a lot. He also seems to be a very intelligent dog, able to read the mood of the Seirin team and bark when appropriate[3] (i.e. when they score a basket). He becomes attached to Kuroko instantly and constantly hangs around him. It is unknown whether or not it was intentional, but he also pooped on Kagami’s sneakers. Later Kagami notices there’s a gash on his sneakers and if he kept practicing with it, he would have gotten hurt. This leads him to accept Tetsuya #2 as a result.
