Minoru Tetsuhara was a nobleman in service to House Kurita.
As a descendant of Jackson Hayes, who had changed the family name to Tetsuhara, Minoru Tetsuhara was a black man of African ancestry and a loyal servant of House Kurita. Theodore Kurita remembered him as one of his teachers at the Sun Zhang MechWarrior Academy and considered him one of his more important sensei. Takashi Kurita himself regarded him as a greater practitioner of bushido than Takashi himself.[citation needed] Such was Minobu's staunch adherence that he rebuffed Michi Noketsuna's claims of vendetta over the tragic fate of Minoru's son Minobu, opining that Takashi Kurita and, by extension, his warlord Grieg Samsonov had had every right to act as they did.
Minoru Tetsuhara was presumably a MechWarrior himself, as he was a teacher at the renowned Sun Zhang Academy
Contents
Sons[edit]
Minoru Tetsuhara had three sons:
- The eldest son was Minobu Tetsuhara, whose noble but tragic fate caused Jaime Wolf, Commanding Officer of Wolf's Dragoons, to declare war (and a personal vendetta) on the Draconis Combine and its Coordinator, Takashi Kurita, over Minobu's death in 3028. This had a great impact on the course of the whole Fourth Succession War. Following the events surrounding Minobu's seppuku, Michi Noketsuna (by then impersonating the Bounty Hunter) and Dechan Fraser presented the severed head of former warlord Grieg Samsonov to Minobu's widow Tomiko on 10 January 3030, but she refused the gift and told the men to present the head to Minobu's father instead, telling them that the old man would appreciate the gesture. (It turned out he did not.)
- His second son was Fuhito Tetsuhara, who was first disgraced following the failed Galtor campaign and then sent to the Legion of Vega, only to rise through the ranks again as a member of Theodore Kurita's command lance, attaining the rank of Sho-sa by 3040.
- Yoshi Tetsuhara was dead by December 3027. He had held the rank of Tai-i and received the posthumous black-and-red dragon banner (Glory of the Samurai) for great leaders fallen in battle.
BattleMech[edit]
Tetsuhara piloted the family heirloom Panther, Katana Kat, before passing it onto his sons by 3021.
