Don't let this boy's ridiculous sounding talent fool you. Dubbed the Ultimate Fursuit Maker by Hope's Peak Academy, Tomo Watanabe is a boy with an intense passion for sewing and needlework. From a young age, he's been invested in the hobby, but for a while, he was unsure of how to put his skills to good use. One fateful encounter on the internet led him to to find the furry community. While the community itself had no appeal to him, he couldn't help but to notice a fursuit can sell for a couple hundred, or even thousand dollars. Interested in making a profit, Tomo would use needlework expertise to sell fursuits online. Due to the quality of his products, his online store gained a great deal of popularity. Eventually, HPA recognized him for this popularity. Unfortunately for Tomo, he was recognized for his skill in making fursuits, and fursuits alone. He accepted the invitation to Hope's Peak Academy, but he hates his title with a passion, especially considering he is more than capable of being Ultimate Needleworker. What a shame that of all things he chose to make, it had to be fursuits.

Tomo only makes what he makes for the money and has no affiliation with the furry community whatsoever. Though he finds their interests a bit... Strange, he really has nothing against them. However, he is completely aware that the majority of the internet does have something against that community. Not wanting to be ridiculed or assumed to be one of them, Tomo pretends to be the Ultimate Mascot. Using his talent to make an animal costume of his own, the lad goes around dressed as a bubbly character he made up, known as Tweedy Wasabi the Tanuki.

Contrary to the bubbly persona he made up for Wasabi, Tomo himself is a shy and awkward boy with the tendency to begin every other sentence with a stutter. He's incredibly insecure about himself regarding many things, but he's an extremely kind fellow that will show you a strong loyalty if you desire to befriend him. Tomo is rather sensitive, but most of the time, he's also willing to let the past go and give people another chance. While he is far from physically strong, others have declared him to be very strong in his own way, referring to the bravery he had in order to finally come out of his shell and be himself around others.
