Kekkaishi

Tokine is taller than Yoshimori as well as two years older than him, [2] with fair skin and long, dark brunette hair that is normally pulled back in a long ponytail. She is considered beautiful by most boys (and even some teachers) in her school . [3] The Houin appeared above her left breast, as it traditionally does with all Legitimate Successors of the Yukimura family. She bears a scar on her right hand, which she received while protecting Yoshimori from an Ayakashi in their childhood. [2] [3] She is fairly thin and quite athletic.

Tokine is cool, calm, and collected. She takes her job as a Kekkaishi very seriously, and has viewed Karasumori as a highly dangerous place for much of her life. Her hobbies include studying and occasionally hanging out with friends. Tokine is constantly impressed by the power and potential Yoshimori has, but is constantly frustrated by his poor control and lazy attitude, [3] as well as his habit of putting himself in danger unnecessarily. She cares for Yoshimori and often protected him many times when he was younger. She also likes to tease him and isn't aware of his feelings for her.
However, as the story progresses, she begins to show clear signs of affection for Yoshimori, though this is typically expressed through Tokine bursting into frustrated tears while she verbally or physically attacks Yoshimori after he does something incredibly dangerous. The greatest indicator of Tokine's feelings for Yoshimori occurs in the anime: after Yoshimori allows himself to be kidnapped by Shion of Kokuboro , [4] instead of rushing to inform Masamori (as she does in the manga [5] ), Tokine follows him into the collapsing dimension herself, despite being fully aware of the danger involved. [6] Though their families are rivals, Tokine is always polite and respectful toward the other Sumimuras.
While Tokine is sometimes referred to as the weakest Kekkaishi in the series (usually by enemies who greatly underestimate her), she is clearly the most ruthless. Examples of her ruthless pragmatism are her disregard for the health of Kimiya Hachioji when he is possessed by Nouotoko , and the forbidden murder of the Hidagou Lord that invades Karasumori and attacks its defenders. Tokine is also much more serious and strict than Yoshimori, and often unknowingly says harsh things that, when combined with Yoshimori's overactive imagination, temporarily cause him to spiral into small fits of depression.
Tokine scolds Yoshimori almost as much as his grandfather does, but this is largely out of concern for him. More than likely, Tokine's serious and strict nature originates both from seeing her father die right in front of her when she was a young girl, and from her grandmother Tokiko, who is also quite strict. She is frequently exasperated by the great lengths Yoshimori is willing to go to to protect her; when she learns about his plans to seal Karasumori forever, she calls him insane for trying to accomplish such an impossible goal. She notes that Yoshimori tries to do everything on his own, and tells him she wants to help in any way she can.
Unlike Yoshimori, who is typically tired and irritable during the day, Tokine seems to almost never be tired during school and, for the most part, is a capable student. During school hours, Tokine is fairly isolated; despite her popularity with boys, she rarely speaks to them (even going so far as to order Yoshimori not to speak to her at school, though this rule is relaxed when there is Kekkaishi business to discuss). She also has very few school friends, and is even somewhat distant with them, usually because protecting Karasumori is at the forefront of her mind, and any other matter is secondary in importance. [7] However, she makes every effort to (and usually does) get along well with most allied ability users she encouters on Kekkaishi business, and is usually the first to welcome new comrades to Karasumori.


Kekkaishi

Tokio was a tall man with brown hair and an easy smile. In the flashbacks he appears in, he was typically seen in the usual Yukimura Kekkaishi uniform. [2]

Tokio was known for his kind, supportive nature. He protected Karasumori largely to keep his family safe. He did not want Tokine to become a Kekkaishi until she was older, as he worried for her safety. He secretly asked Yoshimori to play with Tokine when they were children, not wanting them to dislike each other because of the feud between their families. [2] However, he apparently feared Sumiko's ruthless nature and enormous power, because according to her, he sometimes called her a monster. [3]

Toshimori is rather mature and responsible for his young age, which people tend to respond positively to. His friends think he is too serious [3] , his father and grandfather more often trust him (as opposed to Yoshimori) to maintain the house in their absences [4] , and Tokine treats him the way she might a younger brother (though with more patience and warmth than she generally shows Yoshimori) [5] . Toshimori is on good terms with his entire family (he and Shuji tend to avoid the regular conflicts between Yoshimori and Shigemori), even his mother [6] despite her long absence in his life. He also shows regular concern for Madarao as a member of the family, not just a tool to hunt Ayakashi . [7] His friends refer to him as "Tosho" ( Toshi in the english dub) and often ask him to help them with their assignments, for good reason: Toshimori is an excellent student as well as the librarian of his class. [8]
Though he has at least some potential as a Kekkaishi, Toshimori shows little interest in it and is not at all eager to pursue it. Yoshimori has encouraged him to train [9] , figuring that Toshimori's learned mind will make him a quick study. However, Toshimori recognizes and accepts that while he is capable of reading the family's ancient scrolls on technique, he has great difficulty executing the techniques themselves. Instead, he prefers to stay in the background, supporting his brothers when he can, but otherwise staying out of their way, so as to avoid placing any other burdens on their already stressful lives. [10]

In his youth, Bando was far leaner, and used to possess a set of long, black hair that fell past his neck and thin eyebrows.

When he was put to the test of choosing the representative of Juoh Communications, Bando stated that he was not a hedonistic murderer, with the only reason he was attempting to gain the "rights" that were offered was so that he could finish his research. Strangely, Bando described himself as a "piece of shit" just like his opponent, when asked if he was a heathen.


Kengan Ashura

Chiba is a muscular well-defined man with a hairless face, cunning facial features and dark hair that is set in a very subtle middle parting and swept back.
He has been seen wearing tight tops.

As an experienced "actor", Chiba's true personality is hard to discern as he changes his persona to suit his needs, being able to fluidly and convincingly shift his tone and mood to fit. [5] He is naturally a deceptive and conniving person, able to effortlessly make others believe his ploys.


Kengan Ashura

Ryuki is a young man with a muscular build and messy dark brown hair. His most notable feature is his resemblance to Tokita Ohma , with whom he shares his face.
He usually wears a variety of casual clothes, with a pair of fake glasses. When fighting, he sports a pair of black pants.

Ryuki is simultaneously polite and blunt at the same time. While comparing him to Ohma, Akiyama notes that Ryuki has a gentleness that Ohma didn't have, yet also possesses a darker side to him. [7] Likely due to his upbringing in the Inside, he is ignorant of how the 'outside' world works. One example is how Ryuki misunderstood what Yamashita Yasuo had meant when he said Ohma was "not with us anymore." [1]
Himuro notes that Ryuki lacks any guilt when it comes to the killing of others. [8] This guiltless attitude appears to only occur with members of the Worm , at least until Narushima Koga's intervention. After that, he decided only to ask Naidan Mönkhbat , a member of the Worm, questions that he had without killing him.
After the closure of Kengan Association vs. Purgatory Tournament , he became acquaintance with Kiryu Setsuna , who he met and befriended after the latter came to comfort him during his mental breakdown for "breaking his promise" with Koga and Kazuo, believing to have disappointed both of them. This action eventually made Kiryu's presence a major yet negative influence on his personality, as shown during their vigilant activities with Akoya Seishu and their frequent meetups. Most notable is the fact that he now chose to go for kill during a Kengan match without hesitations, completely disregarding the consequence thereafter, had it not been for Ohma's timely intervention. He claimed to have realized his lack of resolve to kill an opponent no matter what, denying Koga's attemp to convince him otherwise, as he viewed the latter's ideal as too naive, though not before acknowledging other fighter as a true rival.


Kengan Ashura

Hanafusa possesses a lean yet defined musculature, with a bob of blonde hair that falls freely from his head, sharp facial features and tired, yet intense eyes. He's usually seen wearing a white doctor's coat over a dark blue shirt, black trousers and smart brown shoes. .

Hanafusa has a disconcerting air about him. He notes that the incredibly deep despair that he feels when going through tragedies, such as patients dying in his care, is quite addictive. He has a constant urge to dissect any fighter he finds interesting. [4] A man born with madness, Hanafusa keeps his in check with his logical sense of reason Reason ≠ Conscience . [1]


Kengan Ashura

Tokujiro is a dangerous-looking individual with the right side and the back of his head being shaven and the rest of his black hair falling over the left side of his head, a long face and his most distinguishing feature being the long stitched scar that runs down the right side of his face and over his eye.

He is a militant to the core, willing to use extreme and lethal force to achieve his goals.


Kengan Ashura

Underneath his thawb and wrapped face, Hassad is a handsome, muscular and well-defined Middle Eastern man with straight draping black hair that falls a little past his neck, determined brown eyes and full lips.

Hassad is a proud and confident warrior who well readily question those in a much higher position of power than himself to gain answers to questions. Hassad is also a patriot, believing that his nation needed to expand its knowledge in order for them to build for the future; to that end, he travelled the world to study and bring back more knowledge to help his nation. However, after encountering and residing with Kaburagi Koji , he has become rather carefree such as drinking beer despite being Muslim, [2] happily eating while the Bodyguards are on high alert and claiming that he can fight anytime, even while drunk. [2]


Kengan Ashura

Hatsumi has long black hair that he lets fall down his back, thin black eyebrows, relaxed eyes, pronounced tear-troughs and thin stubble above his lip and on his chin.
He usually has a casual style of dress.

Hatsumi is an extremely relaxed and blasé person. This lackadaisical attitude shows in most of his Kengan losses: nine by oversleeping, four from bailing and two from forgetting there was a match on. [7] However, when he gets serious, he gets serious . Hatsumi is also a known womaniser who has an issue with keeping it in his pants, so some consider him nothing but a lech. His characterisation is like an elusive floating cloud. [1]


Kengan Ashura

Masaki is a tall, stocky, muscular young man with messy spiky black hair and large, round eyes. As Meguro Masaki's clone, this Masaki is almost identical to his genetic template, only looking younger and less bestial. When fighting, Masaki sports a regular judogi with a black belt signifying his rank.

Masaki is a polite, jovial and overall very relaxed individual. He is able to remain calm even in stressful situations, possessing the qualities of a great negotiator and leader who's able to lighten the mood when necessary.
Masaki is also well-read, having also read even Tokuno'o Tokumichi works, and is informed about fighters and martial arts.
While Masaki had a lot of respect for his father as a businessman, the same couldn't be said for his father's reckless ambition. Said ambition was what would lead to Masaki killing his father before he could make a mess of the Kengan Association.
On the other hand, Masaki seems to have a close bond with his sister Rino, as it was her who warned him about the bombs Katsumasa had implanted in him.


Kengan Ashura

Himuro is a tan-skinned young man with a bob of white hair that is styled with a light middle parting and white eyebrows. He has a lean frame with a defined musculature. It is noted by Kaneda that Himuro has "beautiful skin".
Himuro dresses formally and stylishly, wearing a waist-coat and bow-tie whilst being a bartender with a white buttoned-up undershirt and black trousers. In more casual settings, he omits his waistcoat and bowtie and unbuttons the top of his shirt, revealing a portion of his chest.
Himuro spent most of the Annihilation Tournament with his arm in a cast and sling after being defeated by Kaneda.

Himuro is a notorious womanizer, and takes every opportunity to get girls' phone numbers and set up mixers with them, whether they are secretaries, ring girls, or even Katahara Sayaka . In combat, he is confident in his own strength. He gets quite annoyed and flustered when people he perceives to be weak refuse to back down as shown when he was fighting Kaneda Suekichi. However, he is a good sport after losing, accepting that Kaneda must be stronger than him and becoming fast friends with him.


Kengan Ashura

Hong Xiao-Hu is a muscular man with a very well-defined physique. He has a ball of black hair that covers his head and ears with a long queue that falls below his back. While fighting, Hong wears an attire consisting of only black Chinese-style martial artist's pants with black martial arts shoes.

Hong is initially a calm but confidant fighter with a high amount of trust in his abilities, namely his speed and opioid controlling abilities. However, when on the verge of defeat or embarrassment, he reveals a deep aggressiveness that resulted in him ripping off his own fingernails and part of the skin to show his abilities before punching a concrete pillar.


Kengan Ashura

Cosmo is a young man of average height, though possesses a well-defined build, as expected for an affiliate fighter. Cosmo's blond hair was first styled as a bob cut, favoring it even when he was 17. During moments of duress, he has shown the tendency to swipe his hair back and don an intense expression.
During his bouts, he wears a blue rash guard emblazoned with the Nishihonji Security Services logo accented with yellow and black shorts. This is with the exception of his fight against Akoya Seishu where he forwent his rash guard in favour of only blue shorts and ankle supports.
Two years later, Cosmo had grown out his blonde hair, setting it into a ponytail in the back with three thick bangs framing his face, reminiscent of the hairstyle of his master, Kureishi Mitsuyo . His rashguard is now predominantly black as well.
His casual clothing varies with t-shirts and trousers, though he is never seen without a necklace with a ring looped inside it.

Cosmo has a very happy-go-lucky personality, and is almost always cheerful and smiling. He was called a social butterfly while in school for having friends across different cliques. [7] He is easy to get along with and makes friends with several of the other fighters, even ones he has just fought. He is a quick learner, being flexible and adaptable.
Cosmo tends to take risks during the fighting, and combined with the fact that his fighting style revolves around submission holds rather than blows, he often ends up coming out of his fights more badly injured than his opponent, even when he wins. While he claims to enjoy fighting for fighting's own sake and does seem to enjoy the thrill of the fight; it is not until he is nearly killed by Akoya Seishu that he realizes that this is not a love of fighting, but a strong desire to win.
He has a close-knit relationship with his employer, Nishihonji Akira, whom he calls his "bro". He also seems to get with Wakatsuki Takeshi , but is more like a teacher-student relationship and Cosmo usually refers to him as his "senpai".


Kengan Ashura

Inaba Ryo is the smallest fighter in the tournament, standing at 155 cm, with a slight yet well-defined frame, notably pale skin, and dead-looking eyes with large bags under them. His most distinguishing feature is his extremely long, flailing black hair that he usually lets drape over his face and on to the ground; under the hair, Inaba has a decidedly cute face.
Ryo tends to wear a plain black vest and plain black bottoms, and is usually seen barefoot.

Ryo is particular known for his eccentric behaviour, [5] such as his tendency to walk on all fours like an animal. Despite this, he has a surprisingly agreeable side. [1] Because of the relationship he has with his friend and employer Urita Sukizo , Inaba subdued his true sense of identity: the bloodstained karma of his assassin's blood and the fact that assassins could only really live in the heart of battle, something which he regained after his fight with Tokita Ohma .


Kengan Ashura

Jerry is a well-built muscular black man with short black hair, a thick black moustache and a noticeably gleaming smile; he always tends to have a jovial animated facial expression.
He wears dark pants held up by bridges and a white shirt (with the sleeves rolled up), finishing his outfit with a bowtie.

Jerry is a very loud and animated person who is somewhat arrogant, thinking that his fighting style is invincible. After his defeat from Tokita Ohma , Jerry grew to respect the strength of others and can strike up a sense of camaraderie with other like-minded people quickly.


Kengan Ashura

Julius is a monstrously muscular person, with an overwhelmingly well-defined, bulky frame with high vascularity. He is completely bald with many veins visible on his forehead, has a notable lack of eyebrows with visibly large eyebrow ridges, a generally 'muscular' face and his small eyes hold a piercing stare. He almost always has a stern, uncaring expression on his face.
Julius almost always wears only a pair of tight black shorts. The reason for this is because there aren't any clothes in his size. Even if clothes are custom-made for him, his muscles grow so quickly that they stop fitting, so he stopped wearing clothes altogether. [1]

Julius is a firm believer in the notion that brute power trumps everything, including skill. He also has no issue taking extreme measures as a precaution. Outside of matches, he is normally taciturn unless spoken to or challenged. When he does speak, he reveals himself to be quite forthright but articulate, prone to using one-word expressions.
After the Kengan Annihilation Tournament he strove to becoming stronger and surpassing the likes of Wakatsuki Takeshi , Kanoh Agito and Kuroki Gensai with sheer power alone. Though holding a grudge against Wakatsuki (who is the only person who ever defeated Julius), Julius was cordial with him and high fived him after his win in the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament .


Kengan Ashura

Kaburagi is a heavy-set overweight man with equally chunky facial features and a shaved light-coloured hair with a squared-off widow's peak. He typically dresses like a shady person.

Kaburagi understands the limits of his own powers and thus finds immense gratification in bringing down superior fighters using his underhanded tactics. He finds pride in his ability to conceal debilitating substances and 'weapons' from the unsuspecting eyes of the referee and audience, boldly sticking to his "path of perversion". However, Kaburagi is a coward who will cry uncle when his plans do not come to fruition.


Kengan Ashura

Suekichi is a goofy unassuming-looking man with straight black hair that is set in a middle parting and falls either side of his head, thin eyes that are seemingly perpetually closed and a smiling, satisfied expression that rarely leaves his face. Suekichi appears to wear traditional Japanese garments. His facial appearance has barely changed since he was a child. [7]

Suekichi has a soft, polite demeanor that hides his fiercely cunning and calculating side. From an early age, he has had a colossal thirst for strength due to his relatively weak physical constitution.
He is also a thorough opportunist, attempting to study his opponents of choice at every turn and glean whatever information he can to help in his battle. Much like his friends, Kaneda also enjoys the companionship of beautiful girls though not to the same extent.


Kengan Ashura

Agito is a tall, highly muscular man with black, slicked-back hair. He lacks eyebrows, instead possessing strong eyebrow ridges, complimented with stern, narrow eyes with dark lines underneath and a chiseled facial structure. Ever since his defeat to Kuroki Gensai , Agito has a small, star-shaped scar on his forehead, as a constant reminder of his first defeat.
Like the Bodyguards that serve Katahara Metsudo , Agito is most commonly seen in a formal black suit with a black tie. When fighting, he wears a black, skin-tight bodysuit. Two years later, Agito has adopted an all-black biker style. [11]
When he was a teenager Agito had short black hair and a constant apathetic expression on his face.

Agito has two facets of his psyche. One is stoic, haughty, and highly clueless (as evidenced by his confusion over Okubo Naoya's Ultraman references), [12] [13] while the other, which only comes out when he uses his Formless style, is ruthless and sadistic. When the latter personality comes out, which is a twisted manifestation of his repressed animal instincts, [14] he grins ear-to-ear, and his pupils seem to disappear. This change in personas is most prominently highlighted whenever he changes the way he refers to himself, switching from singular to plural pronouns. [note]
Agito is also very proud, and always insists on besting his opponents at their own game e.g. if a fighter specializes in blows, he will exclusively use blows. However, in desperate situations in which Agito is driven and cannot fight back at all (highlighted in his fight against Kaolan Wongsawat ), he will switch to a more suitable fighting style, damaging his pride. After the fight against Kaolan, he threw away his pride and focused on winning.
As a fighter, Agito values strength above anything else and he will show respect to those he considers strong opponents such as Wakatsuki Takeshi due to being the first whose will to fight wasn't broken and instead became the first who showed his "fangs". He can also be polite, truly thanking Okubo Naoya for their fight because he was capable of evolving as a fighter, as well of accepting Okubo's declaration to fight him again. And while he shows this side to those he sees as strong, he has absolutely no respect to the weak.
Two years after the Annihilation Tournament, Agito has become noticeably more "human", even making jokes and losing much of his stoicism. [15] By merging his human half with his repressed beast half, he all but eliminated the lag between both the Formless stance and Martial Arts, as described by Metsudo. Agito also sees a kindred spirit in Gaoh Ryuki , who reminds him of who he once was.


Kengan Ashura

Kaolan is a highly-built man of Thai descent with long straight black hair tied into a ponytail that hangs over his left shoulder, thin discerning eyes, and a small circlet around his crown. Despite being a heavyweight boxer, Kaolan possesses a smaller frame compared to most of his contemporaries.
His attire in the underground matches consist of a pair of boxing shorts, emblazoned with the image of a Garuda , a South-East Asian symbol of justice, royalty and the Dhamma. As he makes his entrances, he is also seen wearing a traditional boxer's robes, his musculature still visible.

Kaolan is perpetually calm to the point of being expressionless. However, this bellies an incredibly analytical mind that allows him to notice details other fighters would miss.
His most obvious motivation is, in truth, derived from his extreme patriotism to Thailand and loyalty to his ruler, Rama XIII. In fact, Kaolan would have not taken part in the Annihilation Tournament at all without Rama XIII's command, disparaging the tournament for being a mere freak show in comparison to the purity of conflict in something like boxing. Despite this, he came to greatly respect Kaneda Suekichi's determination and willpower during their fight, calling him a true warrior.
Contrary to the prior, however, Kaolan has one arguably self-centred desire: the desire to fight a truly powerful foe to the death (as long as the foe isn't Saw Paing). [8]


Kengan Ashura

Karo is a bulky heavy-looking older gentleman with an experienced, world-weary expression on his face. He is bald, with many scars littering his dome, has prominent cheekbones and has a thick white moustache which somewhat merges into his thick white beard.
Karo wears fisherman's dungarees over a white short-sleeved t-shirt and a rope hachimaki on his head.

Karo is a polite, quiet man who seems to have a relaxed outlook on life. He is highly protective of the harbor and will do anything to protect it.


Kengan Ashura

Kiozan, befitting of a sumo wrestler, is an extremely bulky, heavy-set individual with an angular face, thin arrogant eyes, short black eyebrows and black hair set into a traditional ponytail with a single strand of hair falling over the left side of his face. Unlike many of his peers and sumo wrestlers in real life, Takeru's muscles are very prominent, even his abdominals, resembling more of a power lifter or even a bodybuilder.
Kiozan typically has an intense or rather aggressive gaze. He also has multiple wrappings on his arms and elbows, though these seem to change or are simply not visible under his attire. Outside of battle, Kiozan wears a traditional kimono with one arm resting inside it. In battle, he wears a traditional mawashi .
As an ozeki in Chapter 221 of Omega , Kiozan had become much bulkier, losing muscle definition in favor of a more traditional sumo build.

Kiozan is a notably arrogant individual who supposedly takes great pride in his style of 'ancient' sumo, considering modern sumo to be a failure. As a man who seeks to fight the strongest and prove his way of sumo is the best, he is easily annoyed and angered when he feels like his pride has been disrespected. After his defeat to Sekibayashi Jun in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Takeru appeared to have become a lot more respectful to his martial art, now taking modern sumo seriously again. [6]


Kengan Ashura

Kiryu is an effeminate-looking young man with long black hair that falls down his back and frames his face in two long bangs, gentle livid-colored eyes and he has an incredibly defined musculature.
Two years after the Tournament, Kiryu sports bob-cut black hair reminiscent of the style when he was younger.

Outwardly, Kiryu is a very polite and friendly person, [6] belying his true obsessive nature directed towards Tokita Ohma , with an irrational hatred towards Tokita Niko . While his obsession in Ohma initially appears to be sadomasochistic and sexual, it's more of religious fervor: He worships Ohma as a god who will give him destruction and loathes Niko as the devil who defiled his god. [7] Kiryu also suffered a severe form of psychosis due to overusing the Fallen Demon technique, causing him to hallucinate that Niko is still alive and taking the form of different people and that he must kill Niko in every form he takes. [7]
Two years later, his personality seems to have taken an even darker turn, even after being freed from the side effect of Fallen Demon by Ohma. He now becomes interested in "grooming" Ryuki into becoming his new "God", even mentoring him in learning the Koei Style to prepare him to defeat Ohma, his old "God".


Kengan Ashura

Shigeru is a tall, physically imposing man with a huge tattoo on his back of a Deva , which is the origin of his nickname "The Deva King".

When provoked into a fight, Shigeru is easy to enrage. A simple insult from Ohma is enough to set him off. That being said, he's shown to not start fights when unnecessary, an example being his courteous behavior with his future boss, Lihito , contrasting future coworker Ivan Karaev's high temper at the time.


Kengan Ashura

Haruo is easily the biggest fighter in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament , with an extremely heavy set, bulky, overweight frame. He has a chubby hairless face, generally squinted eyes and black hair that is neatly combed and parted to each side with a flick of hair sprouting from the top. Haruo wears a pair of circular glasses, as well as a pair of dungarees with the company he is representing, Nentendo, imprinted on the top of it. After his encounter with Sekibayashi Jun , he trades this in for a Super Japan Pro Wrestling t-shirt.
Haruo when he was Haru
When Haruo was still "Haru", he was an extremely tall, muscularly well-defined youth with his hair set into locks that fell either side his head. At that time he wore only a loincloth and weighed an impressive 158kg. [1]
Two years after the events of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Haruo has grown even larger with his CJW t-shirt barely fitting over his stomach. Jose Kanzaki noted that Haruo gains at least 10kg every tour. [7]

Haruo is extremely lazy and addicted to computer games and sweets. He seemed disinterested before fighting Akoya, and would have rather played video games. He is easily frustrated when presented with challenges, whether in video games or in fighting, and throws frequent tantrums which require near-constant repairs to his house.
Haruo, when still "Haru", was a kind and caring person to his village with the villagers seeing him as a symbol of strength and protectiveness. This was shown by how reluctant he was to leave the village after Kono Akio came to recruit him and the tears he shed when he was leaving.
Two years after the events of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Haruo is a more upbeat and jovial person, having found a new reason for living and training under Sekibayashi Jun and Kurachi Karugo . His voracious appetite has not wavered however, enthusiastically enjoying meal times when they present themselves.


Kengan Ashura

Raian is a muscular man of above-average height. He has short, spiked light blond hair with a small widow's peak and a notch on his hairline's right side. As a member of the Kure Clan, he has dark scelera eyes. He bears a passing resemblance to the current clan patriarch, Kure Erioh , during his youth.
His combat attire during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament consisted of a dark pair of fighting shorts a white cross. In the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament , he wears a similar pair with its colors inverted.
In regards to casual wear, Raian developed a preference for sportswear-based fashion two years after the Annihilation Tournament, wearing unzipped track jackets with a tank top undershirt and matching track pants underneath.

Raian is a violent and psychopathic man who cares for little more than domination, violence, and killing. He does not seem to bear any remorse for his violent actions, and in fact, appears to relish in it. He speaks aggressively and often with profanity. He also does not seem to enjoy or care for camaraderie or festive social events, seeing as how he derisively dismissed his clan's farewell party for Ohma Tokita as "kumbaya shit."
In his first appearance during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament , Raian was testy and hostile towards just about everyone around him, even his own clan's patriarch. Raian often went out of his way to provoke fellow tournament participants Lihito or Mikazuchi Rei . He always made it clear that he would kill all of the tournament participants to prove that he was the "strongest".
Raian never hesitates to taunt, insult, and provoke people to get a rise and stir conflict, such as when he ambushed Lihito in the restroom and when he mocked and derided Mokichi Robinson throughout their match in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament .
According to Kure Karura , Raian is considered the black sheep of his clan, most likely because of his psychopathic and ruthless attitude. Erioh himself said to Katahara Metsudo that Raian is "irregular" among his fellow clan members and described him as a "demon who slaughters as many people as he wants".
Despite this, Raian can act level-headed and composed to a degree, especially two years after the Annihilation Tournament, demonstrating a more condescending side of his personality that contrasts his indiscriminate brutality that tends to come out when he is sufficiently motivated — or provoked.
He also likes to test his strength against strong opponents that interests him, such as Edward Wu . Right after his fight against Alan Wu , Raian chased Edward until he finally found and provoked him to fight to the death.


Kengan Ashura

Kuroki is a powerfully imposing individual with a large mass of black hair atop his head with an equally voluminous beard, and stern, hardened facial features. In combat, he wears a black gi.
At around 35 years of age, Kuroki's hair was relatively short, and only had a short stubble where his beard would later grow.

Kuroki is a generally stern and taciturn individual, who does not make idle chatter and only speaks when necessary, avoiding being wasteful with his words and his time. Despite adamantly refusing to accept apprentices, he seems to be a natural teacher and tends to teach by example in the middle of combat, even though he denies this.
Because of his tremendous experience and skill, he has very little patience for the arrogant, especially those who are weak. He very rarely brings his full force to bear against weaker opponents and pulls his punches before killing blows. However, in the rare case where he is angered, his wrath is fearsome and relentless.
Kuroki is not above being arrogant and prove it to his opponent, like in his fight against Kiryu Setsuna when he drew an imaginary circle and limitated himself in that spot just to show to Kiryu how much stronger he is than him.


Kengan Ashura

Leonardo is a tall man with ash blonde hair and a thin mustache. He wears a bright blue gi when fighting. Outside of the arena, he is always well dressed with proper shoes, a patterned shirt, and sunglasses

Leonardo, like most fighters, is very confident in his fighting prowess. While he mostly has a relaxed expression, Leonardo can be very hot headed when push comes to shove.


Kengan Ashura

Lihito is a brute of a man with a bulky, powerful build, a hairless face, messy blonde hair and small blonde eyebrows. He has an animated facial expression, usually beaming with confidence.

Lihito is a very self-confident person who doesn't have much in the way of nous, being easily tricked into becoming part of Nogi's team to try and win the Kengan Annihilation Tournament .
He is also a shameless pervert who is always trying it on with women. Akiyama Kaede is one such unfortunate target of his shameless ways. His behavior with her borders on outright harrassment, insistently trying with her regardless of her very openly disliking the notion.


Kengan Ashura

Meguro was a heavy-set man, with a notably muscular upper body and an overall hunched, bestial posture. He had a messy mop of spiky black hair on his head, psychotic eyes, a dark strip tattooed across the middle of his face from ear to ear and a seemingly permanent open-mouthed grin with his abnormally long tongue lolling out. Meguro wore dark coveralls with the middle tied with rope and he always went barefoot. Before this outfit, Meguro would sport a normal black judogi.

Meguro could be described as a clinically insane person who had severe sadistic, masochistic and psychopathic tendencies. He greatly enjoyed the act of murder and constantly uttered to himself how he should go about the act, always wondering whether the kill would be better than the murder of his father. His sheer ecstasy when fighting and killing lead him to cry blood , earning him the nickname the "Crying Man". He was also incredibly impatient, which was a weakness of his. [1]
In his younger days, for a very long time Meguro was able to hide his true nature and he put up an alarmingly gentle, loving façade for thirteen years, with all those around him respecting him for his talent and behaviour. After freeing himself of the burden of hiding his true nature, he since devolved into nothing more than a beast.


Kengan Ashura

Rei is an attractive young man with a youthful face, voluminous spiky black hair with two very large bangs that fall either side of his face, eyes with a bored look in them and a powerfully defined physique.

Rei is an extremely confident man, bordering on arrogance, believing himself unbeatable due to his martial arts style (though after fighting Saw Paing, he began to doubt himself). He is also obsessively in love with his employer, Kurayoshi Rino , clinging to her and burying his face in her cleavage at every opportunity he can, and looking upset whenever she is paying attention to someone else; Rei loves everything about Rino. [1] For Rino, Rei stopped killing and swore with his lover that he would never kill again. Before this, Rei was a completely apathetic killing machine, feeling nothing special about it and never hesitating to kill people or avenge someone's death, even his father. [5] Despite all this, Mikazuchi Rei is still a fighter who wants to get stronger. After being defeated by Kuroki Gensai , he set his sights on trying to surpass him, thinking the "him" now is not enough. [6]


Kengan Ashura

Misasa is a small man with a very lean, toned build and a bob haircut that is perpetually swept to his right. His default expression is a tired gaze with a confident smile. Wearing a black suit and tie, he keeps on his dress shirt and pants when fighting.

Misasa is orderly and professional at nearly all times. In casual environments, and even amongst other fighters, he retains his politeness in spite of Lihito and Naoya Ohkubo's skepticism of his abilities as the Fang of Metsudo during their first meeting and acting as a mediator between the Kengan Fighters' clashes. Despite his prestige, Misasa remains humble, stating himself to be a "rookie" of the Association's thirteen representatives.
However, Misasa also has acerbic and somewhat vulgar side of himself, albeit with his level-headededness intact. He ridiculed The Black Messengers in their unsuccessful attack on Ganryu Island during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament , laughing about it to his fellow Extermination Force member and direct superior, Katahara Retsudo . During the Merger Tournament, he taunted Hikaru into fighting him.
When fighting seriously, Misasa is ruthless and unflinching. Pairing this with his masterful combat skills, Misasa is capable of expressing his aggression and viciousness through his fighting style once he decides that it is time to finish a fight—a trait based off of his habit of toying around with his opponents before getting serious in the "last minute", as noted by his teammate Kaike .
Misasa especially dislikes Hikaru, due to him using the title of Fang as a stepping stone, as well as killing one of his former subordinates.


Kengan Ashura

Mokichi is tall, muscular man with flowing chin-length blonde hair that is split on either side and gentle blue eyes. He normally wears his priest garments, even when he's not actively on priest duty. While fighting, Mokichi wears a keikogi of his style.
When he was younger, Mokichi's hair was longer, wore more casual attire and had a lip piercing.
Two years after the tournament, Mokichi now has a noticeable scar around his neck from the near-fatal injuries he sustained after his fight against Kure Raian .

Mokichi is a very serene man who is generally very happy and always smiling, especially when his younger half-sister Elena Robinson joins and supports him. However, Mokichi is overwhelmingly overprotective of Elena, becoming surprisingly aggressive to any men who dare to come close to and/or talk to his sister. On one occasion, he called two oglers "dead wankers" when he caught them checking Elena out. [8]


Kengan Ashura

Murasame is an imposing, heavyset individual with chipmunk-like facial features, small eyes, a noticeable lack of eyebrows with prominent eyebrow ridges and dark hair set into short twists with the sides of his head shaven.

Murasame is an arrogant individual befitting of his large bulk.


Kengan Ashura

Murobuchi Gozo is a powerfully athletic man with a strong build, short cropped black hair with a small widow's peak, a long face, with a circle extended goatee beard and confident eyes. He is almost always sporting a confident grin. Murobuchi tends to wear clothes from the United Clothing brand, the company he fights for.

Murobuchi is a confident individual with an indomitable attitude when it comes to overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges, no doubt due to his background as an unbeatable gold medallist decathlete.
In spite of that, he is also humble, admitting Akoya is his superior.


Kengan Ashura

Muteba is a tall, very muscular black man with whited-out eyes and whose entire head and body are covered in numerous tribal tattoos. While fighting in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, he wears only a pair of black Speedos, except for between rounds, where he typically wears high-class formal wear such as his white suit topped with a fedora and sunglasses.

Muteba is a rather calm and composed individual and is known to take pleasure in the "manhunt" of his opponents; he believes in the ideal that people without money or power should know their place. He also has a voracious sexual appetite. Despite enjoying the thrill of a "manhunt" and also of fighting strong opponents, Muteba values his survival above everything else and will not continue a pursuit if he feels it is not worth the risk. [6] Despite his delight in the "manhunt", Muteba is offended when compared to serial killers like Meguro Masaki and does not attempt to kill his other opponents as there is no reason to.
He shows respect to the fighting spirit and style of Sekibayashi Jun , and is generally friendly with everyone he meets. Despite his grim profession and composed attitude, Muteba almost always has a smile and a jovial comment for any situation.
Muteba is also very fashion-conscious, considering himself a sapeur , and dresses in fancy suits in his off-time. [7] [1]


Kengan Ashura

A young man, Koga has a lean muscular build, green eyes, and wavy spiked hair; his hair and eyebrows are both bleached white. [7] (his natural hair color is dark). [8] Outside of his karate gi , he has been shown wearing a button-up dress shirt over a white under-shirt with a gold chain necklace, white pants, and loafers. Koga tends to dress in very stylish, expensive-looking clothes.

Koga is a brash, somewhat arrogant young man who has an intense thirst for overwhelming violent power; to that end, he harbors an underlying inferiority complex stemming from his crushing defeat to Tokita Ohma three years prior. Koga is short-tempered and quickly flies off the handle when his buttons are pressed. Despite this, he can be polite when he wants to be and is also surprisingly diligent, working hard so that he doesn't have to owe anyone. He acts like a backwoods delinquent, for better or worse, though he is gentle towards close friends but shows open hostility against those he considers his enemy. [2] His demeanor is slowly changing after meeting Yamashita Kazuo and the others.
After the Merger Tournament, Koga became calmer and more mellowed out. He was far more amicable with Ohma, with the latter even going so far as to teach him the Niko Style because he asked. His habit of wishing to be trained by various fighters, even the ones who just defeated him, earns him respect and connections with them such as Ohma, Utsubuki Kokuro , Funayama Yoshiki, Carlos Medel , Liu Dongcheng , Kanoh Agito and Rolón Donaire . Medel himself gives much praise for this "greedy" trait, believing not just anyone can do it.


Kengan Ashura

Nezu is an extremely tall, muscular young man. He looks like a stereotypical classic delinquent, complete with an impossibly large pompadour and a prominent chin. He also has uniquely-shaped eyebrows that are zigzagged at their ends. Nezu spends most of his time dressed in the mascot costume of Mockey Mouse. The costume is only about half as big as he is, forcing him to scrunch in at an impossible angle.

Nezu is described as being a strong idiot with a huge adoration towards Mockey Mouse (and Tochigi Destiny Land as a whole). He was heart-broken when he discovered Tochigi Destiny Land was closing.


Kengan Ashura

Ren possesses an androgynous face with sharp eyes surrounded by black eyeliner, sharp eyelashes, a hairless visage and black hair set in a side-parting, with one side being swept over the left side of his face. He has an extremely toned but lean physique. He tends to have a stern, unnamed expression on his face and wears a sleeveless chángshān with floral patterns down the right side.
In battle, he wears a much more revealing black outfit, covering only his chest and groin, and leaving his midriff exposed. The upper portion has a symbol on the back with a striking resemblance to a yin-yang. He also wears long fingerless gloves and leg warmers on his shins. This outfit is not a traditional Heavenly Wolves outfit, and is actually one made to suit his own tastes. [1] He has also been known to wear extremely risqué outfits in public. [4] [5]

Ren is a decidedly narcissistic person with a firm belief in his own strength; his narcissism is blinding, living to the beat of his own drum and being completely oblivious to others' notice of it. [6] He is deceptively forceful and willing to use lethal force to maintain order.


Kengan Ashura

Okubo is an extremely muscular, powerful-looking man of great height. His shoulders, back, and arm muscles are massive, befitting his wrestling background. He has a plain round face, with subtle tear-troughs, and a shaved head.
During bouts he wears only shorts with black and red vertical stripes. Outside of that, he wears a combination of t-shirts and trousers, with the occasional baseball cap and chains that Ryo likened him to a rapper. During the Merger Tournament, Naoya dressed as Kuidaore Taro , the mascot of the Osaka area from which he hails. He eventually removes his hat and glasses, and then his boots once it was his turn to fight.

Okubo is a goofy, light-hearted man, considered by many to be less than intellectual as evidenced by his stubbornness in playing Shogi to the point of losing composure. His personality is quite like Lihito, with the two getting along with one another mainly predicated on their shared perveted and lecherous interests.
That being said, all this bellies an extremely intelligent and analytical fighter. Naoya, despite being considered to be a flip-flopper in his choice of sports, has dedicated himself fully to fighting, not missing a single day of training and being driven to win, to the point of not losing his fighting spirit after being defeated by Agito Kanoh , when not many others whom have been defeated by the Fang can lay claim to the same feat. He also displays a more impulsive and hot-blooded behavior whenever something goes wrong.


Kengan Ashura

Ozu is an extremely muscular and powerful looking man with tanned skin, sharp powerful facial features, a confident grin, small eyes and slicked down black hair that is parted in the middle. Despite being Koyo Academy's affiliated fighter, while working as an English Literature Professor he wears rectangular glasses.

Ozu is a very confident man, due in part to the large amount of time he put in to attain his strength as well as his undefeated record in the Kengan Matches . He took his roles very seriously, seen when he pulled no punches while examining potential fighters in Koyo Academy's hidden fight. Ozu is very fussy about his public image and maintained a gentle persona while working as an English Literature Professor, however while fighting his true fight-loving persona came to the surface.


Kengan Ashura

Sawada is a very androgynous young man with beautiful golden eyes with eyeshadow and eyeliner applied, carefully done eyelashes, lips with lipstick applied to them and a remarkably unique hairstyle resembling that of a Kabuki lion. Sawada has an extremely well-defined lithe figure, befitting of his ballet dancer background.

Sawada believes very strongly in manners, etiquette and fairness, especially in regards to women, getting aggressively fierce when such things are called into question. He also gets extremely offended when referred to with homophobic slurs.


Kengan Ashura

Sekibayashi is a monster of a man with a dense heavy-set musculature befitting his power as a professional wrestler. He has broad facial features, cauliflower ears, usually sets his hair into cornrows, he has determined eyes and a distinguishing tattoo around his left eye.
Before the start of his match with Kiozan Takeru , Sekibayashi had his hair styled in a reverse ginkgo leaf top knot tied with a white string to mock Kiozan, before he got it ripped off by him just before their match started.

Sekibayashi is a proud professional wrestler who takes his occupation very seriously, maintaining that as a wrestler it is his responsibility to tank any and all damage that comes his way. To that end, he fights with entertaining the audience as his first goal and defeating his opponent the second.
Even in a non-wrestling, underground match, Sekibayashi maintains kayfabe, or at least, his in-stage character.


Kengan Ashura

Despite his age, Takemoto has a well-defined frame, is mostly bald, with some greyed hair remaining on the back of his head, has whited out eyes and many wrinkles adorning his visage, a sign of his elderly age.


Kengan Ashura

Ohma is a handsome tan-skinned man of above-average height and has an extremely athletic build. His most notable trait is his mop of messy, dark hair that has been compared to seaweed. In addition, Ohma possesses a narrow gaze that exudes both confidence and general indifference.
He usually wears a black and grey t-shirt, blue jeans and gold-white sneakers. In his first appearance, he wore a red and white hooded jacket that had white Christian crosses on both sides of the sleeves.
His first set of fighting attire was a pair of black boxing shorts that are red at the bottom. During the Annihilation Tournament, Ohma wore light-blue colored boxing shorts with black spats underneath. He would also wear this in the Merger Tournament.

Ohma is a rough, yet well-meaning individual. He was initially rather arrogant, which often surfaced whenever he fought. During his fights, he was condescending and often belittled and provoked his opponents.
A defining trait of Ohma is his lust for battle; ever eager to fight against those who are strong. Despite this love for fighting, he will not fight those that refuse to fight him. Such was the case when Kazuo and his son had done so on separate occasions. That being said, he was also short-tempered and can be quite violent. He was willing to physically assault Nogi Hideki , his employer, when the latter refused to make him Nogi Group's representative fighter, before being stopped by Hatsumi Sen .
Ohma was not without his good traits, however. He is less aggressive and even protective to those that support him, such as when he protected Akiyama Kaede when she was trapped together with him in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament preliminaries.
After meeting Karla, he was shocked after learning her motives, additionally running away from her. She is the only one  who made fear due to her desire to mate him.
After regaining his memories he becomes more open and less arrogant to the point where he is capable of casually speaking with other fighters and able to speak with Karla without running away.
As he was born and raised in The Inside , Ohma lacked basic education on simple facts and was also illiterate. He often called people by their full names; in the manga, their names are spelled using katakana rather than with kanji. The notable exceptions are when Ohma refers to Tokita Niko and Kiryu Setsuna .
Two years after, Ohma now calls people by their first or last names. However, he still refers to Kazuo by his full name, showing his fondness and attachment towards his former employer and their time together. His relationship with Narushima Koga , while started off as hostile, seems to have turned amicable with each other. Ohma also shows to be pleased with Koga's progress as a fighter, giving him advices on getting stronger during their sparring.


Kengan Ashura

Nitoku is a languid-looking man with a muscular frame, messy dark hair that falls loosely on his head, indolent-looking eyes and a very light sprinkling facial hair above his lip and on his chin. During battle, he appears to wear loose-fitting dark-coloured yukata over shorts spats. When not fighting, Nitoku wears a small pair of spectacles.

Nitoku is a very relaxed individual and, befitting his occupation, is articulate and sharp. He is also shrewd, managing to coax out information regarding the upcoming Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament from Kazuo Yamashita . [6] Due to being a professional writer, he often questions why he returns to fighting after his "retirements".
He has a habit of suddenly announcing his retirement before making a return. [5] This is because he lives on the bare minimum financially, then focuses on writing. Nitoku only enters another match when he runs out of money. [6]


Kengan Ashura

Kokuro is a tan-skinned man with broad, dark, intimidating features. He has a noticeably powerful musculature, typical of most affiliated fighters, black hair set in a relaxed bulb and skin-faded, an angular chin with a thin layer of facial hair running along his jawline and pronounced eyebrow ridges with an apparent lack of eyebrows. He is a smoker, often seen with a lit cigarette in his mouth when relaxing. Kokuro seems to prefer wearing simple outfits along with basic sandals.

In contrast to his intimidating appearance, Kokuro is actually quite a respectful and genial individual. [1] He chided Koga for calling the opponents he had defeated "weak" and gave the boy praise after knocking him out for fighting him fairly, even calling Koga an ambulance. [5] [6] In battle, Kokuro is particularly composed and rational, able to make pragmatic decisions that are unaffected by conceit in his own abilities. [7]


Kengan Ashura

Takeshi is a powerfully imposing individual with dense well-defined musculature. He has short blonde hair, thick blonde facial hair on his chin, dark eyebrows, a chiselled cheek structure and discerning eyes. Takeshi tends to wear tight-fitting tops that accentuate his already muscular frame, as well as simple pants and footwear to finish off his outfits.
After his battle with Julius Reinhold , the right side of Takeshi's head was left shaved, and remained that way for the rest of the Kengan Annihilation tournament. His hair has since returned to its original state since then and the skin tone difference in the side of his face that had been grafted is still present.
In the past, Takeshi dyed his hair black, before reverting to his natural hair colour.

Takeshi is quiet, yet easy to befriend. He's highly analytical, making observations some people wouldn't notice. When fighting, he's incredibly ferocious, according to his ephithet, but will change his strategy at the last minute if needed. This was shown during his battle with Julius, where he took all of Julius's blows, then defeated him with a vicious kick to the head, after he deduced he couldn't win through body strikes. He values strength above most other things, though he is also humble and modest, and honestly admits to being nervous when entering a fight. Despite his calm-and-collected personality, Takeshi is surprisingly sloppy. [1]
Takeshi is also very cautious. He does not usually share his techniques and tends to keep them as a secret. He also doesn't like to show his injuries received in combat to avoid information leaking to his opponents, just like after his fight against Julius Reinhold, Takeshi refused medical attention so as not to disclose confidential information  about himself to his next oponent.
He hides a side of himself that does not mind sacrificing his physical integrity in order to face Kanoh Agito and get his revenge, proving that he's also quite obsessive and thirsty for a rematch against his greatest obstacle.


Kengan Ashura

Ichinoshin had an appearance vaguely similar to his descendant. He had thick black eyebrows, a narrow discerning gaze and black hair with the sides shaved. Fitting of his fighting prowess, Ichinoshin had a very defined musculature.

Ichinoshin was an honorable, steadfast, and noble man. He had a strong bond with his employer to whom he swore absolute loyalty, and even fought to help Eikichi achieve his dream despite being badly wounded.


Kengan Ashura

Saw Paing is a Burmese fighter with a lean yet well-built and tall physique. He arguably appears much younger than he is, with a youthful and hairless face and spiky, voluminous brown hair and hazel eyes. True to his personality, he often sports a determined and enthusiastic expression with wide eyes and a perpetual grin.
During bouts, he wears nothing except red shorts, a mongkol (also known as a mongkhon) and a pra jiad on both arms, being his headband and armbands respectively traditionally worn during Muay Thai bouts to ascribe confidence and luck to the fighter. Outside of bouts, he prefers to wears shorts and Hawaiian shirts.

Saw Paing is the polar opposite of his self-proclaimed rival, Kaolan Wongsawat ; while the latter is calm and apathetic, Saw Paing is hot-blooded, brash, and easily excitable. He is a frequent shouter and yells loud enough to drown out the announcer on the mic in a crowded stadium. [3] His adoptive father, Sanemitsu, casually states that Saw Paing is not a very intelligent person, though he does have (a certain degree of) common sense. [2] Despite his hot-blooded nature, Saw Paing is surprisingly understanding, such as delaying fights with Kaolan if the latter has an appointment. [12]
His rivalry with Kaolan is seemingly one-sided; after Kaolan beat him in a cross-border match at age 16, he frequently sneaks across the border to challenge him to a rematch, even climbing up Kaolan's high-rise apartment to do so, [13] much to the latter's annoyance. [14]


Kengan Ashura

The infiltrator mimicked the real Yuzaki physically. He had an imposingly intimidating individual with a powerful and muscular frame, black slicked back hair and dark rings around both eyes. He almost always had an apathetic expression on his face, though when pressed during battle he would take on a frightening ghost-like expression. However, Toyoda Idemitsu noted he could tell that this Yuzaki was not the real one by the individual's eyes. [2]

He appeared to be extremely taciturn, rarely uttering anything, and possessed a very intimidating and frightening aura.


Kengan Ashura

Kaede is a beautiful young woman with bra-strap length or mid-back length (when let down as seen in Chapter 168 ) blonde hair that is tied in a ponytail with bangs swept to the right side and some parts swept a little to the left side while she has a chin-length hair strand hanging on the right side as her bangs, brown eyes and her most notable feature is her big bust.
She wears red oval-shaped glasses and a long sleeve white shirt with a coral-pink blazer that is fully buttoned.
In Story , back when Kaede started working as Nogi Hideki 's secretary, her hair was styled in a bob similar to Akiyama Sakura 's hairstyle.

While Kaede seems like she has a cold persona, the truth is that she is just socially awkward. [1] However, she usually holds a professional demeanor about her and is quite polite to those she interacts with. She appears to have a complex about her weight and age, getting noticeably irritated when the topic is brought up and chastising people who bring attention to it.


Kengan Ashura

Sakura is an attractive young lady with a bob of blonde hair that has bangs swept to the left side and beautiful yet droopy golden eyes with thin eyebrows. While she generally has a disembodied expression on her face, Sakura tends to pout when she is being mocked.
She almost always wears smart clothing and dresses.

Despite holding such an authoritative position, Sakura is a surprisingly absent-minded person who often gets lost in her own world; in that sense she is the complete opposite of her younger sister Akiyama Kaede . She has been described as a person who marches to the beat of her own drum; because of this trait, Sakura unconsciously manipulates the people around her, including her sister Kaede and even Kiozan Takeru . [1]


Kengan Ashura

Fujio is a well-defined man with sharp cheekbones, focused eyes and facial hair on his chin. He typically wears an encompassing black beanie on his head, a black vest, dark cargo pants held up by a utility belt, combat boots and pyramidal knuckledusters on his fists.

Described as an "evil madman" and a "callous violence machine", Fujio is a man whose principles lie in that he will do almost anything as long as he is paid for it. [1]


Kengan Ashura

Edward was a large imposing man with a devilish face and slicked-back, light-colored hair. Like the other Wu and Kure, he had black-sclera eyes with white pupils. Edward tended to wear loud purple animal print short-sleeved shirts with slacks, dress shoes, and sunglasses that covered his distinctive eyes.

A recipient of Wu Hei's memories and personality, Edward was both outwardly confident and extremely dangerous. He took his business with the Kure Clan very seriously, more so than his affiliation with The Worm. Edward was also quite prideful of his Clan, deeming them to be quite different if not superior to the Worm. However, he was still respectful enough to acknowledge Raian's strength, considering him, at the very least, someone interesting to have fun with.
He didn't appear to enjoy fighting that much, at least not for its own sake, given his continually shown preference for ending fights quickly and his annoyance at how the Kure he fought kept getting back up. He also proposed to Wu Xing and Kure Erioh that they stop fighting and negotiate, suggesting that he genuinely wanted to reunite the Westward and Mainline Wu along with the Kure Clan. However, it's just as likely that he was lying, trying to get them to let their guards down or just for taunting them.


Kengan Ashura

Elena is a beautiful young woman with flowing upper-back length blonde hair that has chest-length hair strands hanging on either side, gentle blue eyes, a deceptively defined physique and a small frame.
She tends to wear dresses that goes down to her thighs, and stockings that match.

Elena is a gentle and sweet individual who is generally very happy, especially when she's around her older half-brother Mokichi. She has also grown to be close friends to Kure Karura . She's known to be very kind as well, showing care for Mokichi and Hanafusa Hajime when the two "died."


Kengan Ashura

Furumi is a portly individual with a round chubby face with generally round facial features including a round nose and round eyes. He has thick black eyebrows and a thick black Jewfro .
He is almost always seen wearing a smart formal business suit.

Furumi is a casually jovial individual in general. He is a very compassionate person who acts on his sense of duty; [2] this can be seen when he mentioned that as he runs a pharmaceutical company, he will treat anyone regardless of who they are, even if they are a criminal on death row. [3] Much like many of the Kengan Association members, Furumi is very composed, casually conversing with Dazai Yukio despite being threatened. [3] He describes himself as an "active fatty", but is concerned about his non-stop weight gain. [1]


Kengan Ashura

Mukaku was a powerfully imposing individual, with a bulky muscular frame and an obviously battle-worn body and face littered with scars. He had a mat of hair atop his head, thick distinctive eyebrows, cauliflower ears and thin stubble above his lip and on his chin. Gaoh typically wore dark bottoms and wrapped his stomach in bandages (essentially creating a rudimentary haramaki ) with a loop of bandage wrapping over each shoulder.
In Ryuki's memories of him, Mukaku was much older than when he was training the Tokita Niko's . He had grown out a goatee, and his eyes had grown weary, either from age or something else. His two scars and eyebrows remain very much the same however.
In his full first appearance in Omega , he is seen a little chubbier and wore a tatterred, sleeveless kimono and a kasa. While he was training the Nikos, his hair hadn't gone grey yet, and sported a bushy mustache.

On the surface, Gaoh Mukaku seems like a mellow but joyful old man who cares for his disciples. He also shows a comedic side like when he was shocked to know that Katahara Retsudo was Katahara Metsudo son and not his grandson.
In reality, he's an immensly cold-hearted opportunist. Perhaps born out of witnessing Wulong slaughter his entire tribe, Mukaku would grab any advantage he could, no matter who got harmed or killed. He saw not only his disciples, but even his adoptive grandson Ryuki as a means to an end, not caring if they die or not. Back in the day he would even use his comrades as shields to survive. [2] His other most notable trait was his massive grudge against Wulong. Despite this grudge, he's also painfully aware that he can't ever beat him in a straight fight. In one of his conversations with Ryuki, he admitted that he knows that all things he had done were awful. If he died, then everything he had done would be for nothing. At the very least, he trusted that if he did die, Ryuki will carry out his vengeance in his stead.
Mukaku's life was filled with abandoned plans. He always sought the strength needed to take on Wulong, but lacked the heart necessary to go through with them the moment a setback occurs. His motivations for fighting was simply to survive and kill Wulong.


Kengan Ashura

Genzan was a gruff-looking older man with a wrinkled face, thick messy fair hair atop his head, a lack of eyebrows with thick eyebrow ridges, deadened eyes and a well-defined muscular build. He tended to wear traditional keikogi .

Genzan appeared to be a man who greatly enjoyed the thrill of battle and the self-achievement of killing powerful foes.


Kengan Ashura

Hayami Katsumasa was a distinguished looking gentleman with graying hair set in a middle-parting and a thick grey mustache. The left side of his face was horrifically disfigured and his left eye was whitened. He was always seen wearing a light-colored smart suit.
Twenty years ago, when he found Meguro Masaki , Hayami had dark hair and lacked a mustache. However, his facial disfigurement was still present during this time.

Hayami was an extremely intimidating individual, able to exert charismatic pressure that rivals that of Katahara Metsudo . He had an opportunistic, ruthless, and Machiavellian disposition in his ambitious hunger for power and influence, finding those who work under him, no matter how skilled or capable they may be, as little more than expendable pawns that only exist to help elevate his position. To this end, he was willing to go to great lengths and commit atrocities in order to secure dominance in the political and financial worlds that he inhabitated.
However, it was implied by Yoroizuka Sanemitsu that he wasn't the malicious individual he currently was, back in the earlier days of the Kengan Association, once described as an idealistic individual who pursued his goals with his fellow comrades.


Kengan Ashura

Hiyama is a petite young woman with black hair set in a neat bob hairstyle with neatly cut square bangs that fall just over her eyes, large dark eyes, small full lips with dark lipstick applied to them and a moderately sized bosom.

Hiyama is an extremely precise woman who tracks her life to the second. However, she seems to have a crippling dislike of solitude [1] as seen when she lost her normally calm composure after Akoya Seishu criticized her for her performance in his match. [2] She is completely tied to Akoya, in a manner far beyond Stockholm syndrome , and views him as her saviour, despite his actions of enforcing justice going beyond reason.
She has a surprising lack of modesty, like attempting to walk into a shower naked before even getting close to the shower. [3]


Kengan Ashura

Ivan is a man with a lean build, fair hair, a thin face with deep cheekbones, barely any eyebrows and thin stubble on his chin.

Ivan is very confident in his own abilities, bordering on overconfidence. While generally maintaining a cool, focused demeanour, this crumbles when he is put in a pinch.
