Tsume

Tsume, also known as Claw, is one of the main characters from the Wolf's Rain series.
== Charactah Account ==
Tsume is a Grey Wolf with a large X shaped scar across his chest, not counting many others. Rough and self-reliant, Tsume is a strong fighter who keeps his true feelings to himself. He joins the others after his human gang in Freeze City betrays him. He does not initially believe in Paradise, but eventually starts to believe in their goal and chooses to follow them not because of a lack of a better option but out of trust.
Tsume is depicted as a "stereotypical, angry loner" who curses a lot, but is very confident, and at times arrogant, and keeps himself distant from his allies. Though he and Kiba continue to come into regular conflict, Tsume eventually comes to believe in their goal and becomes a loyal pack member. Of all of the pack, he is closest to Toboe, whom he refers to as the "runt." Arguably, the red wolf is the one who keeps him with the pack until Paradise itself takes root in his heart.

== Trivia ==
* The manga artist, Toshitsugu Iida, commented that Tsume had "never drawn eyelashes on a man before".
* Sometimes when Tsume attacks in human form, he'll be seen wielding a dagger; this is how humans perceive his claws.
* Voice actor Kenta Miyake felt Tsume was all about appearances and notes that "Tsume always speaks in a harsh manner such as talking down to Kiba, casually dismissing Toboe, and seems to ignore Hige all together." However, he also felt that, "Despite Tsume's seemingly tough nature, he was the most naive of the pack, and the most timid." Miyake felt as if he was Tsume's father, "kindly watching over him". He used those feelings to guide how he depicted the character.
* Tsume is known to have made one kill during the series: when he delivers a coup de grâce to end Hige's suffering.
* Along with Hige, Tsume is one of two wolves in Kiba's pack to have been a part of another pack beforehand.
* Tsume is the fourth of the five wolf protagonists to die.
