Fighting Style:
While her tag partner, Tazu Asai, is more athletic and incorporates a ton of energy into her move-set, Tetsu is far slower, but incorporates a lot more power into her moveset. A bit of a lumbering giant, she makes up for it by having a move-set designed to keep opponents as close as possible, with few moves that give them a chance to crawl away, roll out of the ring, and escape her grasp, along with a few harsh submission holds, though she is no technical expert. In singles matches, she'll usually try to keep the action in the center of the ring, to take away the ropes from her opponent, as in terms of navigating the ring, she isn't the fastest.

Along with that though, she loves to play up to the crowd, and will often taunt for the fans to get a reaction.

And while she is quite tough, there is a weakness in her for anyone who knows of her history, and that is multiple injuries to her left leg. A Torn ACL and a Torn Calf Muscle drained her of her previous athleticism, and while still wrestles with energy, it leaves her fairly slow at times, and leaves that limb extra vulnerable to targeting.

Stats:
Strength: 5/5 – Tetsu's best skill in the ring is her strength, able to lift practically anyone she wishes, and being quite tough to lift herself.
Speed 1/5 – Tetsu is sapped of athleticism thanks to some injuries, and while being able to get in short bursts of surprising speed sometimes at the cost of her stamina, she is mostly just a lumbering giant.
Agility: 1/5 – Tetsu cannot navigate the ropes or the turnbuckles at all, and only in very rare occasions will she go up to the top rope.
Endurance: 4/5 – Tetsu is very durable and can take most attacks, she is not invulnerable, and she can be chopped down, especially with her left leg bothering her at times.
Charisma: 5/5 - Tetsu, along with her tag team partner, Tazu, are both female Ultimate Warriors in a way, huge, face-painted wrestlers that can go crazy and wake-up a crowd, and their charisma/overness is arguably what got them into AFW in the first place.

Wrestling Stats:
Strikes: 3/5 – Tetsu's strikes are brutal if they connect, some calling them the equivalent of runaway trains, but she can be slow to get them out, and doesn't have a wide variety of strikes she can do.
Submissions: 3/5 – Tetsu isn't really technical, but her power makes quite a few submissions potent, such as Torture Racks, Headlocks, Shoulder Claws and one of her finishers, the Bearhug.
Powerhouse: 5/5 – This is primarily Tetsu's man fighting style, using her strength for plenty of power moves and strong strikes.
Aerials: 1/5 – While theoretically devastating if she ever lands a splash, Tetsu is far too slow to make use of an aerial assault.
Counters: 3/5 – Tetsu is a decent grappler, and can reverse things she knows are coming, but can be tough for her to counter faster opponents.
