Teika is the shadow warrior that serves Kanami as her commissioner and is a powerful warrior, as indicated by the respect directed towards him by his fellow clansmen. As a singular part of his neverending duties, he is constantly busy and stressed, as he has to deal with corrupt government officials amongst the Hokke as well as inside the governing system of the Empire's military, something that he abhors delegating to Kanami due to her indifference towards the military's governing system. Due to his duties, he loathes small talk, wanting people to get to the point. In the presence of Kanami, he is shown to be far more lenient with his demeanor and withholds incredibly invasive questions despite his mental urging to ask them.

Though he is not particularily well-known due to his status as the "black sheep" of the Hokke, he is noted to be a stern and determined individual, notably even more so than most members of his clan. Like Kanami, he cares only for the well-being of the common people as well as his Hokke clansmen and is noted to become quite surly when forced to go against his preassigned orders given to him by Kanami. Placing a high value on the traits of loyalty and obedience, he is the very individual who inspired Raiden Ken to rebel against his family along with constructing a series of mechanical devices that drew from his life source in order for them to operate in order to clense the land from the effects of the rapidly changing climates caused by the effects of the cataclysm. The bond of friendship between the two was so strong that Ken entrusted the care of his young brother-in-law Ryoma Raidou to him in the aftermath of the incident, though Teika occasionally got annoyed by the whimiscal nature of his closest childhood friend.

A family man, Teika has faithfully served as the commissioner for several centuries simply due to the wishes of his elder sister and is shown to deeply value the opinion of his fellow clansmen. He adopts an unforgiving attitude towards those who harm his family members and is shown to become incredibly enraged at any signs of disrespect towards the late memory of Raiden Ken, whom he considered to be like his blood-related younger brother. Most notably, he treats Ryoma Raidou as his troublesome son and is shown to be exasperated by his carefree nature at times, despite his insistence otherwise. At times, he does small favors for people based on the current social and political standings of the recipents, being noted to have little tolerance for the dissenters that rally against his favor-giving tendency. Like most members of the Legion, he follows the Path of the Champion and is a skilled mechanical genius.

Being of Hokke descent, he is classified as a half-blooded Yōkai due to his mother being of mortal descent, which is considered a shameful thing in the power relations of the Hokke clan. Furthermore, being naturally gifted with mechanical devices as he is along with being blessed with a highly technically advanced mind, Teika is greatly ostracized by many of the far more traditional Hokke clan members yet is well received by the far more realist Hokke clan members in return. According to Raiden Ken, his ideas behind the mechanical devices that he constructed and powered with his own life force, were greatly inspired by some of Teika's own inventions which had long-lasting results and eventually resulted in the creation of the mechanical academy in order to advance some of the creations to higher levels. He created the water dilution devices, the irrigating field ones, as well as the most famed of the devices; the elemental energy trackers in order to better protect the common citizens. Whenever he finishes an experiment, he is shown to begin experimenting on another one and drawing out blueprints. This has led to him being constantly unavaliable in important occasions such as the election of several new commissioners for several different branch families.

Cunning and mischevious, he enjoys toying with his devices and utilizing them to cause mischef, though he does it in the name of fun rather than attempting to cause harm. As a prank, he once concuted an eleborate scheme in order to cause a bit of mayhem and instead almost caused an incident with several international diplomats from overseas countries, this is the only time in which his scheming went too far. Though appearing to be quite serious just by his bearing and mannerisims, he is confirmed to be playful amongst his fellow clansmen.
