"Think you got me, huh?"
―Tetsuya fighting Ryo in Dobuita. — Listen (file info)[src]

Tetsuya Nagashima (長島 哲也 Nagashima Tetsuya) is a high school delinquent who can often be seen with Akio Enoki around Dobuita, Yokosuka, Japan in the game Shenmue.

Biography[]

Nagashima acts like a thug, but in reality he isn't very strong at all, so he tries to always stick with Enoki or Goro Mihashi. Despite this, he has recently begun to think seriously about his life and doesn't like what he is becoming, so he intends to sort himself out and start fresh after he graduates from high school.

Extra / Alternate Scenes[]

  • After the day of the Heartbeats Bar event on a clear day a extra free battle can occur with Nagashima and Enoki at Sakuragaoka Park. This can only be done if the QTE battle with them is done. Nozomi Harasaki tries to stop them from beating up a child, Kyosuke Nishida for throwing a toy plane at Enoki's face. They attempt to sexually assault Nozomi until Ryo Hazuki comes in to stop them.
  • Another free battle can occur only if the QTE battle and the previous free battle are done. At night when Ryo walks into one of the gang's hideouts, they ambush him and fight.
  • If Ryo fails to find a way to enter the New Warehouse #8; the next day at the harbor, Nagashima and Goro help him enter the warehouse by distracting the security guards.

Shenmue the Animation[]

Nagashima and Enoki appear in Shenmue the Animation Episode 1. They threaten a little boy due to him ruining Enoki's ice cream, because Enoki loves ice cream. Nozomi intervenes, and they violently push her, in which Ryo steps in and effortlessly defeats both Nagashima and Enoki.

This scene is very similar to the determinant scene in the game, where Nagashima and Enoki threaten a little boy due to him throwing a toy plane on Enoki's face. In the game, they don't actually hurt Nozomi, and Enoki was about to hit her, until Ryo intervenes. In the anime, the scene takes place before Iwao Hazuki is murdered, like in Shenmue: The Movie, but in the game, it can be triggered on a day after the fight at Heartbeats bar on a clear day, but only if the QTE battle with them is done first.

Etymology[]

  • The name Tetsuya means "philosophy" (哲) (tetsu) and "to be, also" (也) (ya).
  • Tetsuya's surname Nagashima means "long, chief, boss" (長) (naga) and "island" (島) (shima).

Trivia[]

  • Nagashima's zodiac sign is Scorpio and he has an O blood type.
  • There's a secret scene where Nozomi can actually help Ryo fight Nagashima and Enoki at Sakuragaoka Park. For this to trigger, Ryo must increase the kitten's affinity score above 500, which can be done by feeding her 5 sliced fish. Then after triggering the scene at Sakuragaoka Park, rapidly press Y Y B X A A A (△ △ 〇 ▢ ✕ ✕ ✕ for PS4) in sequence. The timing for pressing this is during the first 8 or so seconds after the cutscene has started, showing Ryo walking along the road in Sakuragaoka towards the park, up until just before Nagashima appears.
