Tetsuo Shima
Tetsuo Shima is the main antagonist of the manga Akira. He is the second principal character of the story's theme and evolves from the protagonist Shōtarō Kaneda's best friend and gang member to Kaneda's nemesis. In the animated film based on the manga, Shima is voiced by Nozomu Sasaki.
One of the youngest members of a motorcycle gang, led by his best friend Shōtarō Kaneda, he initially has problems with being seen as little more than an inexperienced "junior" member, weak and introverted. Kaneda is his lifelong best friend. He is perceived both by himself and others somewhat as a runt, though this is not necessarily a correct assessment of his character. His misdirected views and intentions constantly lead to conflict with all the other characters and he is stubborn and naive about the consequences of his actions. He is enthusiastic about motorbiking but can't seem to 'catch up' to his friends. Throughout the story he reflects more openly on feeling bossed around, and begins exhibiting an inferiority complex. It is when he is injured and later incarcerated by the government that he is left helpless on his own, and begins to take on a corrupt and arrogant attitude, absorbed in his new powers.
Tetsuo is following a near-collision with Takashi, an Esper who poses strong psychic abilities, Tetsuo began developing these same abilities himself. The military under Colonel Shikishima attempt to incorporate Tetsuo into their on-going test program, which tests and encourages the growth of psychic abilities in humans.
Eventually Tetsuo's powers become too much for him to contain. The Espers, along with the Japanese Self-Defence Forces later attempted to kill Tetsuo before his powers become too great for him to control. These attempts are in vain and Kaneda, ultimately, does not succeed either.
Simultaneous with the burgeoning of his power, Tetsuo's mind becomes unhinged, and he is plagued with visions of the mysterious Akira. He comes to develop a vicious misanthropic streak, most keenly expressed in his sudden hatred of Kaneda, whom he still idolizes, but whom he also blames for his feelings of inadequacy and insignificance.
