Tsume

ツメ

Tsume is a rugged, independent wolf. He once belonged to a pack, but that changed when Jagara's forces attacked, killing many of his companions. During the battle, Tsume tried to escape, abandoning his fallen and dying pack members. As a result, the survivors rejected him, and the leader attacked him, inflicting a large X-shaped scar across his chest. Overcome with shame, he avoided other packs for years. Eventually, he meets Toboe, who initially appears irritating to him. Yet, Tsume feels a deep sympathy and compassion for Toboe, who ultimately persuades him to join the rest of the "pack" on their journey to Paradise. At first, Tsume doubts the tales of Paradise and follows the others only out of an instinct to protect them and remain part of a group. He frequently clashes with Kiba. However, he eventually becomes a true believer and grows to enjoy the company of his pack mates. Aside from Kiba, Tsume appears to be the strongest fighter among the wolves and seems more logical and observant than the others, suggesting he may be the most intelligent. In the anime series, Tsume appears to be a Grey wolf or a tundra wolf.
Tsume's name translates to "claw" in Japanese.
