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.
