This is an interesting matchup. I have a little experience with it, so hopefully I can contribute.

It is (or should be) well known at this point that Terumi has no standing overheads, and the closest thing he has to an instant overhead is extremely telegraphed. His pressure, however, is a pain to deal with because almost all of Kag's close pokes will be beaten be Terumi's fast, annoying moves. In particular, his 6A will MESS YOU UP. It's fast as hell, stuffs most drive moves if not comboed in to and launches for a combo even on regular hit. Make sure you respect what Terumi has at all times.

His movement options are nowhere near as powerful as Hazama's, and Terumi relies much more on in-your-face pressure than his suited-counterpart. This fact along with his lack of high-low mixups means you can almost always just charge a flash kick, wait for an opening in his pressure and punish them for it.
