The two ran away together after not being able to handle living with Denmark. Though Berwald considers him his "wife", Tino insists he's not. The two of them are the adoptive parents of Peter Kirkland and own a dog named "Hanatamago".

Tino first appears in Episode 01, seated next to Berwald at the "Meeting Of The World". He gets his first speaking role in Episode 14, when he offers to tell Berwald a joke about Russians, to pass the time in the long line at the supermarket.

Trivia

 * Though his name is rendered as Tino in katakana, some fans opt to use the more common Finnish name Timo when referring to him by his human name, as Tino is rarely used in Finland.
