She is a teacher of an unnamed school, and is also a volunteer of Anti-Skill, where in the anime adaptation she is often partnered with Yomikawa Aiho. She is also an avid player of the Gekisho series of fighting games, and specializes in the character Jamie, to the point that she is called Empress Jamie for her skills on using the character.

Level Upper Arc
Her role in the story is expanded in the anime. In the manga, she first appears during Kiyama Harumi's kidnapping of Uiharu Kazari, where she and her unit are decimated in her attack. She is later rescued by Misaka Mikoto from the AIM Burst, and informs Mikoto that the building that the AIM Burst is heading to is a nuclear facility. She later assists in helping Uiharu spread the Level Upper treatment program across Academy City.

She first appears earlier in the anime adaptation, where she is one of the members of Anti-Skill (along with Yomikawa Aiho) arresting Okahara Ryouta and his accomplices. She later appears in episode 5 of the anime, where she replaces Yanagisako Aomi of Judgment as the one who treats Konori Mii of her wounds. She reappears in episode 7 of the anime, guarding the outside of the Seventh Mist mall after Kaitabi Hatsuya's attack on it. She is later called upon to arrest Kiyama Harumi, along with other units, just like in the manga, except Yomikawa Aiho is present during the scuffle.

Poltergeist Arc
She gets an entire episode all to herself, where she try to balance her work as a teacher and as a member of Anti-Skill. It is shown during this episode that she is acquainted with Tsukuyomi Komoe, and often spend time with her and Yomikawa Aiho, bathing and eating together. Also in the same episode, she meets with Mikoto and Uiharu once again, where they thanked each other for their assistance during Harumi's attack. She also meets Index and Himegami Aisa separately, during her duty as an Anti-Skill, where she is thoroughly exasperated by the both of them. She also meets Haruue Erii, where she tries to connect to her and also tries to help her find her missing locket, before a poltergeist earthquake occurs - scaring her; Erii later finds her locket and simply leaves her without saying a word. This episode also features Tsuzuri's skill in and fondness on the Gekisho fighting game, and where it is revealed that she is a master of the Jamie character from that game, where she is dubbed as Empress Jamie. She is later defeated in the game by Kounoe Haruki, who after days of being unapproachable, finally opens up to her. She later escorts him to the vicinity of his house, conversing with him about the game, she is later surprised that he has moved away and has transferred to Zassou Academy, a highschool that prepares students to work in the videogame company, Weed, the creator of the Gekisho series of games, which delights her.

She and Yomikawa are later employed to be the security in the Tokiwadai Midsummer Festival. Much to the dismay of Yomikawa, Tsuzuri ate too much of the food from the festival, and is seen to be in great pain during much of the episode.

She later reappears with Yomikawa Aiho in an Anti-Skill office, complaining about how MAR has solved the recent Poltergeist Incidents. They are later seen again in the same office, where Yomikawa argues with Shirai Kuroko about Anit-Skill's inability in doing anything that would aid Judgment in stopping Therestina Kihara Lifeline, Yomikawa later relents with Kuroko's argument and where Tsuzuri is seen smiling after seeing Yomikawa's decision. Tsuzuri along with Yomikawa are seen alongside other Anti-Skill units, trying to stop MAR from advancing to where Therestina wants them to, aiding Mikoto greatly during the episode.

She is last seen alongside Yomikawa outside of an Anti-Skill building, looking up towards the sky, where they see Kiyama Harumi's birthday message from her students.

Sisters Arc
Tessou appears with Yomikawa in a certain hospital in order to guard a thug there. She is later involved in a shoot-out alongside Yomikawa against the thug and his gang who were to bust him out. The situation is later messily resolved by the intervention of Misaka Mikoto and her friends.

Silent Party Arc
Tsuzuri briefly appears on September 2, while staring at Yomikawa looking at the sky.

Dream Ranker Arc
The proliferation of Indian Poker led to information previously restricted to School Garden leaking outside, with the nature of the card's production complicating the schools' efforts to prevent information leaks. After toys used to make the card dispenser were recalled by their manufacturers, likely under pressure from School Garden, an alternative design using different toys was uploaded. She and Yomikawa of Anti-Skill attempted to find the uploader without success.

Ability
She is a member of Anti-Skill, though seemingly looking incompetent, she is still trained in handling firearms and handling civilians.
