Profile
SIU Director?

Tetsuya Ida is a mature, dark-haired man with glasses and a neat brown suit. Ida has been appeared in many of Shu Amiguchi's dreams lately, in different time periods and at different ages. Sometime during Ida's life, he served as a substitute teacher at 2064's Sakura High School, and met Ryoko Shinonome. Shinonome fell madly in love with Ida during this time, and was willing to follow his every beck and command. Using his newfound control over her, Ida prepared Shinonome for battle in the Sentinel, and also enlisted the help of her childhood neighbor, Ei Sekigahara. When the Kaiju finally invade in 2065 and the defense squad fails to stop them, Ida, Chihiro Morimura, and Renya Gouto decide to force shift every combatant and navigator to a different time period. Ida ends up in the 1980s, along with Shinonome, and poses as an SIU Director. With Shinonome at his service and many others to manipulate, Ida's actions could change the world for the better- or worse.
