The pair argue for a little while, but ultimately decide to both get back into the hero business, thus closing their suits' faceplates. It is later revealed that the main reason why Wild Tiger returned to being a hero was because Kaede told him that sitting around at the house all the time had made him a really lame dad.
Kotetsu's year old daughter Kaede lives with his mother and, until episode 21, had no idea that her father is the hero Wild Tiger. Originally, she was often disappointed and did not understanding when he failed to visit her like he promised, as she believed he had a normal job. Possibly due to his hero work keeping him away from her, Kotetsu seems to treat her as being younger than she is. He loves her dearly, but can't compromise his identity and thus has to tolerate her disappointment in him.
A very telling incident occurs early on in the series, when Kotetsu as Wild Tiger is unable to reach Kaede in time to prevent a chunk of ceiling from crushing her and is so relieved when Barnaby rescues her that he immediately blurts out a heartfelt thank you. Their relationship improved somewhat after Kotetsu's trip home and even more so after Kotetsu is framed for murder, and his mother finally tells Kaede the truth about her father's job.
Tomoe is Kotetsu's late wife, who died five years before the events of the series. They met in high school, and it was in fact Tomoe who encouraged Kotetsu to pursue working as a hero. She is also the one who chose both his and Antonio 's hero names. They presumably married at some point between graduating high school and the birth of their daughter, Kaede. After falling ill, Tomoe is visited by Kotetsu, who raises concern about how his hero career is conflicting with his ability to spend time with her in her time of need.
She nonetheless encourages him to prioritize his work over her, which unfortunately causes Kotetsu to be absent when she dies, much to his dismay. He still wears his wedding ring as a tribute to her memory afterwords, despite being single.
He thinks of her often, and occasionally compares Barnaby's mannerisms to her's. The pair are, at first, forced into a partnership which neither particularly enjoys or wants. Their teamwork is atrocious and their priorities frequently clash as Barnaby is more concerned with points and ratings, whereas Kotetsu simply wants to save people.
Barnaby frequently grows irritated at Kotetsu's tendency to insert himself into others' affairs, but despite their rocky start they end up becoming a good team and eventually friends. Ten months after Jake's arrest, they have become a successful super hero team rising to the 1st and 4th ranks. Barnaby now understands Kotetsu's kind-hearted nature and seems to both appreciate and accept it. A testament to the progress they have made as friends and teammates is the fact that Barnaby was the only person whose memory Kotetsu was able to jog manually following Maverick's memory manipulation.
By the end of the series, Barnaby has grown so used to having Kotetsu as his partner that becomes deeply hurt upon discovering Kotetsu's intentions to resign. Nevertheless, they are able to reconcile a year later when Kotetsu decides to resume his work as a hero, thereupon continuing to work as partners as they did before. Kotetsu first met Antonio in high school.
Antonio heard rumors that Kotetsu was very strong, so sought him out to challenge him to a fight to see who is stronger. Not interested in fighting him, Kotetsu tried to avoid Antonio until a member of Antonio's gang kidnapped Tomoe. When Antonio found out about the kidnapping he teamed up with Kotetsu to rescue Tomoe, and the two became best friends soon after. Occasionally they will argue and decide to finish the fight to see who is stronger, declaring that whoever wins will be the winner of the argument as well.
However, something always interrupts them before they can finish and determine a winner. When Kotetsu has problems, he occasionally goes to Antonio for advice. When half the heroes were sent to the hospital by Jake Martinez , he could tell that Kotetsu was still injured while the others thought he had completely healed with his Hundred Power. Kotetsu has a good relationship with his mother Anju.
Anju worries about Kotetsu because being a hero is dangerous, but she is also very proud of him. Kotetsu's Hundred Power increases his physical capabilities such as strength, speed, and agility by a hundredfold for five minutes at a time.
After those five minutes, he must rest for one hour before activating it again. This is demonstrated when he was able to lift a tree without his powers to save Kaede. Kotetsu's attacking forte is in punching contrary to Barnaby's forte in kicking , which would indicate that he has the greater strength and endurance of the pair.
He also has more experience with his powers than Barnaby, able to use it for more than just fighting. With his Hundred Power activated, he is able to punch through walls as well as lift an entire section of train rail and tie it into a knot. He can withstand a bullet wound to the chest at point-blank range with only minimal injury, and even taking a flaming crossbolt to the shoulder isn't enough to incapacitate him.
During the hero battles, he showed he could use his NEXT ability to slightly heal himself times faster, but was still far from recovered when he went to help Barnaby. His power can also be used to heighten his sense of hearing, as he did to find Kaede. His signature attack is the "Wild Roar", which appears to push back an opponent with a burst of energy and is generally used right when Kotetsu activates his Hundred Power. In the second half of the series, his powers seemed to have dramatically increased, but it was revealed that his powers now fade sooner than normal by increasing intervals.
It's been stated that, as with a small percentage of NEXT, Kotetsu's powers will continue diminishing and likely fade away entirely. When experiencing a power increase, Kotetsu has difficulty controlling his movements and ends up jumping farther or running faster than he had intended to do. Kotetsu's glow turned orange during this power increase, but no signs have shown that he's experienced this glow again as his glow has remained the normal light blue since then.
Kotetsu's powers eventually decline his time limit from five minutes to one minute. His powers may stabilize as they are, decline entirely, come back, or he may even gain a new power. As he had only one sponsor Top MaG , the name was prominently displayed across the chest area. Whenever he activated his power, the suit as well as his muscle mass would increase.
It is very likely that Kotetsu had several of these costumes, as Saito burns one and later Ben has a second stowed away in a suitcase. Kotetsu dons his original costume again after Maverick manipulates the other heroes' memories in order to convince them that he is the real Wild Tiger.
He also uses his catchphrase "It's time to let out a wild roar. The suit also seems to feature a grappling wire like Kotetsu's new suit, shown during Saito's presentation of how superior his suit was compared to the original in episode 2. Also supported by the fact in episode 2, Kotetsu demonstrating skill in swinging with the wires after freeing himself from the statue.
This new armored suit is shown to be far more durable than Kotetsu's original suit, as it is bulletproof and capable of surviving a chainsaw attack and intense heat. It features a grappling hook of sorts called "Wild Shoot" which is fired from a device beneath one arm and is often used as a means of speedy transportation like that employed by American comic book heroes such as Batman. The suit has only been shown to crack open twice.
What do you all think? I know this is old but I felt the need to comment on it sorry if I spoil anything. Please note there will be spoilers. Based off of assumptions made, he has a 9 or 10 year old daughter, I think that she actually turns 10 in the series at some point in time. That means Kotetsu… based off of anime knowledge must have had the baby when he was years old.
We can already eliminate that he is older than His wife died 6 years ago according to the anime which means that his daughter was around 3 or 4. Based off normal sport recruitment and such, he would have had to be around as well. Anything older usually does not get accepted by companies. Having a sad past but not warranting emo feelings all too much means that he could not have been in his early to mid 20s when his wife past away. Therefore we can conclude that he had to be from when his wife had died.
My best guess is that he was 29 when his wife died. Therefore, by timeline, He was probably 24 or 25 when he became a hero, 25 or 26 when he had his daughter, when his wife died and currently Based off previous information. However, we have more information now. Barnaby refers to Kotetsu as old man for the longest of time in the anime. According to anime standards, anything past the age of 32 is considered old Tales knowledge We also need to see how old Barnaby is.
There was also a scene in episode 9? Where he has a birthday party. He looks older than 4 but my guess is that he is either around when his parents were killed. This birthday scene must also represent his last birthday with them meaning that it is probably 4 or almost 5 when the parents die.
This means that Barnaby must be at least According to anime knowledge, when you are refered to as an old man, it is usually because you are 10 years older than the person saying that you are an old man therefore Because of Barnaby being 25 at least, Kotetsu must be 35 at least.
Also Barnaby drinks but the setting is in america based off how people drive cars and currency that they use. Ivan still has angst at some points in time and is not fully confident in himself even after his confidence building episode. However, he has graduated from the academy of heroes and it means he is probably past the age of The academy of heroes appears also to be like a college.

Second when he holds down H so Barnaby can defeat it. The visor includes a timer to tell him how much longer his power will remain active, and the suit's systems seem able to discern information approximate height and age of a person, makeup of machinery, etc.
The suit is predominantly green, white and black and is equipped with a "Lighting Mode" whereby certain lines light up when Kotetsu's Hundred Power is active. Additionally, it has a feature called "Good Luck Mode" which expands and enlarges one arm of the suit.
Though originally thought to increase Kotetsu's punching power, the feature is actually just for display. Kotetsu originally disliked the idea of using the suit, stating that he liked his old one just fine. He is ultimately forced to make use of it regardless, and ends up deciding that he likes it as he wore it in the field. Despite having a fully visored helmet, he still wears an eye mask reminiscent of his original costume underneath.
Kotetsu has a very traditional view of being a hero, concerning himself primarily with protecting civilians and making sure justice is served. In short he represents the pure ideology of heroism from real world comics. As a result he often charges off and does his own thing, regardless of Agnes's instructions to boost ratings and much to Barnaby's exasperation as it either costs them points or gets them in trouble.
This also tends to cause a lot of property damage, much to the dismay of his sponsors and company. He dislikes doing things like photo shoots and interviews when he could be out in the field, and is shown to adore former hero 'Mr Legend', often watching recordings of him when he's feeling down.
Legend inspired Kotetsu to become a hero, telling him that NEXT powers can be used to protect those they care about; Kotetsu lived by those words ever since, often telling others the same. Despite believing that heroes should worry about the people first and shouldn't be recognized, he dislikes it when people disregard him and dislikes not getting some points though people's lives still come first.
He can be stubborn and at times a little slow, though there are times when he can think analytically and will sacrifice himself if it is for the better good. Though Kotetsu often acts bumbling, goofy and playful and is shown to be a klutz, he is actually deeply troubled by his personal circumstances and often tries to drink his sorrows away. He can be clueless of the feelings of others and a little rude at times, but means well. He can also be irresponsible, often breaking promises with Kaede due to his superhero business.
Despite this, he is generally proactive and positive thinking, if not a little naive at times.
