{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|The transport specialist and hotblooded teacher who works in the reindeer department at Tokyo Santa School. He looks like an intellectual, but he's a spirited meathead just like his old boss. This time he's been sent as Shinjuku Mountaineering Club's advisor from out of the school to investigate the strange mountain where Santa lives. He seems rather fired up since there's a formal competition set up with a well known mountaineering club as he remembers his younger self. Back in his home world, Tanngrisnir would always get into sled-pulling contests with his partner as one of Thor's underlings. But due to taking an injury to his bone marrow even the power of regeneration could not heal, Tanngrisnir has become unable to keep running for long periods of time. As a teacher of the next generation, he considers what sorts of injuries his students might risk and tries to avoid them beforehand. In Tanngrisnir's home world of Yggdrasil, there is a System based on the branches of the world tree, or in other words divergence. Under this faith, pruning off as many branches as you want is fine, but harming the one in charge as in the injury above is right out. Due to that, Tanngrisnir has the important part of instructing Shinjuku Academy's mountaineering club president as his divergence point approaches.}}
