Unou's lucky color is white.[3]

Appearance[]

Unou is nearly identical to his twin in appearance, except that his hair is white, and his bangs hang over his gray left eye. He also wears a white uniform with a black trim as opposed to Sanou.

Unou and Sanou are waiting for Medaka Kurokami and Zenkichi Hitoyoshi when they arrive at the Door of Rejection. The twins inform them about the rules of the door, and are shocked when Medaka manages to get through. They regain their composure afterwards though, and smugly inform Zenkichi that there is no way he can pass through.[4] They maintain this attitude when Kouki Akune and Mogana Kikaijima show up, only to be stunned once more when Kikaijima passes through.[5] They are horrified when Akune makes clear his intent to simply break the door down.[6] After Akune has successfully destroyed the Door of Rejection, the twins can only stare.[7] The Student Council comes to another door, which the Tsushima twins identify as an elevator. However, Medaka chooses to forego the elevator in favor of the stairs, a choice that surprises Unou and his brother.[8] When Medaka points out that the group is lost, the twins reveal that the first floor is actually a maze. They both express their outrage when Zenkichi asks them why they are tagging along, stating that they have no job anymore now that the door they were guarding has been destroyed.[9] After Kikaijima's scream, Unou and Sanou explain that she used sonar along with Medaka to uncover the layout of the maze.[10]

The twins are stunned when they hear that Medaka has no reflexes.[17] They are surprised when Zenkichi orders them to back up.[18] Unou and his brother are amazed by Medaka's Kurokami Phantom.[19] The two can only stand in awe of Medaka's abilities after seeing the damage Kurokami Phantom did to her body as well. [20] When Akune remarks that even Takachiho isn't dodging when he and Medaka begin trading blows, the Tsushima twins point out that, in his exhausted state, Takachiho is unable to dodge, as his muscles are unable to keep up with his reflexes. They express their disappointment that a member of the Thirteen Party would get into such a state, and declare that the battle is Medaka's.[21] Unou is visibly unsettled when Takachiho starts laughing. They are amazed when Takachiho manages to dodge one of Medaka's hits.[22]
