He knew his client was hiding his problems behind the brave face he was showing and urged him to prevent making his issues his alone to burden. He was proud to be the Mist Hashira's swordsmith and mentioned that he tears up seeing his blade being used.

History[]

Tetsuido was delegated as the first swordsmith for the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito. Despite Muichiro's quiet and blunt demeanour, Tetsuido sensed that he was hiding something and urged the young boy to speak to someone, in the hope his problems and burdens didn't weigh on him alone.

Shortly before his death, Tetsuido spoke to Muichiro one last time, expressing his worry that no one could help understand the problems and hardship the young Hashira faced in his life if he didn't speak to anyone about them. Stating that at his age, he does not worry about his own death, Tetsuido instead commented that he cannot seem to stop worrying about Muichiro.
