Metsudo is a distinguished old man with sharp defined facial features, noticeably defined wrinkles, long white hair that flows past his neck, piercing eyes, thick white eyebrows, a white thick moustache and a short thick beard that splits down the middle.
He is typically seen wearing traditional high-class Japanese robes.

Metsudo is an extremely confident and wily individual who takes pride in the influential position he has maintained for scores of years. He is very enthusiastic and animated when announcing to others. His jovial person belies an incredible dominating and overwhelmingly presence that is said to feel like he is the supernatural compressed into human form; Metsudo was noted to feel like he was erupting with energy like a volcano with his outlandish pressure still growing despite his age. [4]
He is shown to be incredibly whimsical and flexible, choosing to rarely enforce rules as long as breaking them makes things more interesting, and showing little regard for his own safety, much to the consternation of his Bodyguards. He relishes challenge, as evidenced by his changes to the tournament rules that put himself at a disadvantage. He enjoys spending time with Association members, fighters, and his relatives, and particularly enjoys the company of foreign visitors, introducing them to elements of Japanese culture, and trying out his heavily accented English.
While he is the oldest living member of the Kengan Association, he is still often regarded as a newcomer by many members whose ancestors have been in the Association for centuries.


Kengan Ashura

Retsudo is a good-looking young man with condescending look in his eyes, neatly styled red hair that falls over the right side of his face and is tied into a single distinct braided plait (which was done by his sister Sayaka), [2] thin dark eyebrows, a lack of facial hair and a distinguishing tattoo of Hebrew script that runs down the left side of his face, running over his left eye.
Like the Bodyguards that serve his father, Retsudo is always seen wearing a smart formal black suit leaving the top buttons of his white shirt undone.

Retsudo is a man who is fully confident in his own abilities as well as the abilities of his peers and colleagues. To this end, he can come across as seeming very arrogant and condescending. However, he has a fierce loyalty to his fellow Bodyguards and appreciates when actions are made in their favor, as shown when he rewarded Tokita Ohma for subduing Kiryu Setsuna after the latter had killed some of the Bodyguards. [3]
He is incredibly protective of his half-sister Sayaka , and disapproves of her revealing outfits and her naiveté with men. This leads his teammates on the Extermination Force to speculate that he has a sister complex; he does indeed have a severe sister complex. [1] [2] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Retsu's most prominent trait is his ambition to one day take over the Kengan Association. Like his father, he is very cunning and inteligent, being able to outsmart Gaoh Mukaku and make him give away his affiliation to the Worm.


Kengan Ashura

Sayaka is an extremely beautiful young woman with smooth tanned skin, straight platinum hair that is partially plaited on the left side with long bangs hanging on the right side, red eyes and a voluptuous hourglass figure.
In the first round, she wears a low-cut, high-slitted dark evening gown. This was later changed to a skirted corset with high boots in the second round, and then a shoulderless, midriff-baring, pencil-skirted leather dress during the final day.
In the anime, Sayaka is mostly seen wearing a red ankle-length dress that splits at the bottom on the lower left side where it stops to her thigh and white high-heels.

Sayaka is an enthusiastic and bubbly individual who is very tolerant and open-minded, able to get along with anyone like Yoroizuka Saw Paing or Himuro Ryo without getting easily offended. [2]
Sayaka also possesses a sort of exhibitionist streak, wearing clothes or dresses that reveal her skin and happily taking baths with others regardless of their gender, much to the chagrin of her younger half-brother Katahara Retsudo .


Kengan Ashura

He is always seen wearing a pair of tinted glasses and wears the typical white suit of the Guardians.

Gunji appears to be a very confident and derisive individual, as seen when he arrogantly mocked Takayama Minoru before fighting him. [2] However, he also appears to be cautious to a degree as he was willing to abandon his position when he thought Hayami's plans were doomed to fail. [3]


Kengan Ashura

She wears an ankle-length sleeveless dress that exposes her chest/back and high heels.

In the manga, the top part of her dress has flower patterns all over it and she wears light-colored high heels. In Chapter 41 , she was seen wearing a beaded necklace with a heart in the middle. Her design in the anime is much simpler where her dress is plain white and her high heels are a yale-blue color.

Rino is an "alpha female", able to manipulate and make "alpha males" submit to her on a whim. Despite her standing as a Kengan Association member, she has a revulsion towards "unnatural deaths" (such as the deaths caused in the Kengan matches ). [2] As a result, whenever one of Rino's fighters lost just a single match, she would "order" them to quit using her power so that they wouldn't die. [2]


Kengan Ashura

Erioh was an elderly man with slicked-back silver hair and a wrinkled face befitting his age. He wore traditional Japanese attire rather than more modern clothes, contrasting the rest of the Kure.
In his youth, his appearance was very similar to his grand-relative Kure Raian .

Erioh was an upstanding man who was fiercely protective over his family and its reputation, especially in regards to his great-granddaughter Kure Karura . [2] Erioh puts his clan's pride above even its reputation. If need be, he will even put the clan's reputation on the line if it meant lost pride can be recovered.
Erioh was a lot more vicious and headstrong when he was younger, but age had mellowed him out; now possessing a dignified sense of self as the patriarch of his clan. However, forms of disrespect and slander will bring back the vicious demon that still dwells within. [2]


Kengan Ashura

She has long black hair with several bangs that hang over her forehead and two long lengths of hair that drape either side of her face, a small dainty nose, full lips and the telltale sclera and pupils of the Kure Clan .
Initially, she wore a parka, dark-blue shorts with wrappings around her legs and ankle-length brown boots with buckles. After her identity was fully revealed, she later switched to a dark-purple sailor fuku uniform with wrappings around her legs.
Two years after the Tournament, now a college student, Karura's newer outfit was a vest and turtleneck, alongside a coat and beret.

Karura is an extremely curious and independent individual, going off to explore wherever she wants on a whim. Upon sensing Tokita Ohma 's great strength, Karura has become infatuated with him to stalker-like levels, bluntly telling him that she wanted his children. However, she has also grown to be close friends to Elena Robinson, showing concern for her and her brother Mokichi , and expressing rage at her own relative Raian for nearly killing him.


Kengan Ashura

Mitsuyo is a muscular individual with a youthful visage, long red hair that he ties into a ponytail with two long bangs framing his face, and countless battle nicks covering his skin. The scar that runs horizontally across his nose was earned from Hayakuwa Samato . While fighting strong opponents, he is known to pull facial expressions that indicate his ecstasy and enjoyment.

Mitsuyo is an eccentric individual with a noticeably prominent fight-loving streak; he holds a belief that martial arts are meant for killing. [7] Kureishi also has a 'fetish' for breaking other people's bones, something he realised at the tender age of 2, and gets visibly aroused when fighting strong opponents [6]
Over the years, Kureishi seems to have mellowed, becoming a sarcastic yet confident indivudal. He also enjoys relaxing and does not like doing things that are not in his own interests.


Kengan Ashura

Rin is a cute young lady with a bob of hair, thin eyebrows and seemingly perpetually closed eyes.
She wears a smart black waistcoat over a white long-sleeved shirt, with a black tie, a short black skirt and simple dark pumps.

Kengan Ashura

Tomoko is a nice-looking young lady with black hair set in a bob style with bangs swept to the right side, brown eyes and a mole on the lower left side of her lips.
She generally wears a conservative smart style of dress, fitting of her position.

Tomoko is a slightly naive person who is unexpectedly unnerved by the brutality that is environment that surrounds the Kengan matches . She is very perverted and enjoys the manservice provided in the Kengan fights. To that end, she is probably the person who is enjoying the Kengan Annihilation Tournament the most. [1]


Kengan Ashura

Ginji was powerfully built bald-headed man, with unnerving eyes that held a disconcertingly wide-eyed gaze, a seeming lack of eyebrows and the phrase "They must be judged" tattooed down the left side of his face. He wore a perturbing emotionless expression on his face.

He was a surprisingly polite man who followed his faith to a unhealthy degree. To that end, Ginji always spoke with piety and religion at the forefront.


Kengan Ashura

Nishihonji is a tan-skinned handsome looking man with a lean well-defined frame, youthful facial features, black matted hair, a chinstrap beard and a generally smiling expression on his face. He generally wears smart casual clothes that match his easygoing personality.

Nishihonji is a level-headed, mature individual who is overall known to be a very pleasant person. He is also quite intuitive and discerning. Never wearing his emotions on his sleeve and always putting on a refreshing smile, Nishihonji has a severe side in that he'll use others to achieve his goals. [1] Despite his age, Nishihonji is quite knowledgeable in regards to the members of the Kengan Association. He has a keen eye for fighters, most likely due to his own martial experience experience. [1]


Kengan Ashura

As an experienced member of the Kengan Association , Nogi has a perceptive eye in regards to the fighting environment, being able to perceive and recognize the actions and movements of the fighters he observes. He is also sharp and cunning enough to outmaneuver and outwit an Association member of Hayami Katsumasa's level.


Kengan Ashura

Ohya Ken is a jovial looking man with a plump face with rosy cheeks and a rosy nose (usually due to being intoxicated), thick black eyebrows and short matted fair hair atop his head. He dresses casually, usually wearing a white shirt with the top buttons undone and casual trousers.

Rama wears white toga-like robes with two necklaces around his neck, multiple bracelets around his bandage-wrapped wrists, a metal band around each arm and rings on each finger of his left hand.

Rama XIII is a king with a charismatic and eccentric personality. He accepts anybody, Eastern or Western, to become one of his bodyguards, as long as they are strong; he even accepted a hot-blooded airhead like Saw Paing to be his company simply because he doesn't care about class issue. [2] He allows Yato Trading Co. to have Kaolan as their affiliated fighter because he likes people with bottomless desire, like Iida Tadashi . [3] Rama also has absolute trust in Kaolan, seeing him as a brother and confidently making a substantially sized bet with Katahara Metsudo when Kaolan fought Kanoh Agito . [4]
Rama also doesn't have a firm grasp on what it means to be inconspicuous, even when he needs to be. He travels by elephant everywhere he goes in Thailand and has a large retinue following behind him. [5] [6] Though he tries to go to vacations incognito, he usually gets found out for the same reasons. [1] [7]


Kengan Ashura

Shion is a definitive and attractive woman with long blond hair (dark-red hair in the anime ) that has two shorter strands to frame her face where it is parted slightly to her left (her hair was chin-length with bangs split on either side back when she first met and dated Hatsumi Sen during high school in Story ), full lips with neatly applied lipstick, she has a generally unimpressed expression covering her face and she has a notably large bosom.
She wears formal clothing in such a way that shows them off and she also usually has a cigarette on her person.

According to her younger sister Soryuin Akemi , Shion told her to go after men with big muscles over handsome men. [4] She quietly enjoys the brutality and carnage surrounding and within the Kengan matches .
Despite her strictness, she is surprisingly doting to her sister Akemi, using her connections to get her sister into various gyms, including Silverman's Gym. [4] She once allowed Akemi and her friends to use their private jet to go to America, just because Akemi asked her. [5]


Kengan Ashura

Mihono is a young woman with straight medium-length hair, worried eyes with dark rings around them, a moderately-sized bosom and a generally despairing expression on her face. During the first day of the tournament, Mihono wore a rose flower-hemmed dress.

Mihono is a completely average young woman, who is no good at gambling and has a seemingly frazzled demeanour, most likely due to her being shoved into the cut-throat position as a CEO of a large company without much warning.


Kengan Ashura

Takakaze is a broad man with light-coloured hair, thick mutton chops and a generally at-ease expression on his face. He is almost always seen wearing a black suit over a white open-buttoned shirt, finished with a black cowboy hat that has a white skull on the front. Takakaze also wears a necklace with a cross on it.

Takakaze is known to be a maverick, with a generally relaxed and easygoing personality. Noting that power has never quite sat right with him, [2] he openly states that he has little interest in power and authority, [1] going as far as to nominate someone else to become the new Kengan Association chairman, because the chairman's position was too heavy a burden and he wouldn't be able to soar while carrying it. [3]


Kengan Ashura

Minoru is a large man with mid-length, disheveled hair, and his face is covered by a mask. Underneath that mask, he has both of his cheeks torn open to form an extended grin , with stitches on each side, a wound he sustained from his first fight against Kanoh Agito . Like the other Bodyguards , he wears a smart black suit.

Takayama is a stern, brutal man with a short temper. He generally has a no-nonsense attitude, immediately restraining Ohma before the latter could react to his presence. Nevertheless, he remains loyal to Katahara Metsudo and has a great sense of respect for him, always seen by his side along with Omori Masamichi .
He bears a deep grudge towards Kanoh Agito, being the one responsible for permanently scarring Takayama's face during their youth. [4] From that moment on, Takayama stayed determined enough to swear revenge on Agito one day. Despite his grudge, he respects Agito as a fighter and fellow Bodyguard.
His indomitable spirit that urges him to keep on fighting no matter how many times he is defeated is held in high regard by both Metsudo and Agito. [1]


Kengan Ashura

The Other Niko is a muscular man with menacing and wild facial features, almost like those of a tiger. He had long light hair swept behind his head and mild beard and moustache. His most notable features were his big eyes with light irises and narrow pupils.
In Agito's memories of him, he possessed a shorter haircut compared to when Ohma first encountered him.
As Six, he originally sported black hair that obscured his eyes for the most part. While they were occasionally seen in spars, once he revealed his traitorous nature, they became much more prominent.

The Other Niko is a ruthless and immoral martial artist known for his constant pursuit of greater power, though his full motivations remain mysterious. He takes a pragmatic and experimental approach to martial arts: adapting, creating, and discarding techniques as he sees fit, with no particular loyalty to any tradition or style. He is even willing to discard the Niko Style he was originally trained in, though he continues to use it with great proficiency up to the present day.
With little regard for the lives of others, the Other Niko has a particular habit of using his students as unwitting volunteers for his martial arts experiments. He teaches them dangerous, inherently self-harming techniques that he himself would not use so that he can observe the results, even if it results in their deaths. This can be seen in his planting of the Possessing Spirit within his involuntary "student" Ohma, and his teaching of the Fallen Demon and Guihun to Kiryu Setsuna and Lu Tian, respectively. The Other Niko also demonstrates a willingness to ruthlessly cull his students, often pitting them against each other in human Gu rituals that leave only the strongest alive. Ultimately, however, he cares little for even his most uniquely successful and loyal students, as he was unfazed by the death of Fei Wangfang, who had survived a Gu ritual and mastered the Other Niko's most dangerous techniques.
Despite his ruthlessness and brutality, the Other Niko also has a cultured side, as well as a sense of discretion and practicality. He enjoys fine dining and expensive wines, and prefers not to get into fights in public settings. He even tried to pacify Kiryu Setsuna by offering him some wine right after Setsuna had tried to kill him in a restaurant with a surprise attack. He initially didn't fight back despite Setsuna's provocations, and only became angry after Setsuna shattered the bottle of wine and began using the broken bottle as a weapon against him. Even then, he was mostly angered due to the expensive, ¥1,600,000 price of the wasted wine.


Kengan Ashura

Tomari is a young woman with crazy-looking sanpaku eyes, thin black eyebrows, long black hair that falls down her back and some strands that fall over her face, an ample bosom, rotund buttocks [1] , full red lips, a toothy grin revealing her shark-like teeth and a pair of rectangular semi-rimmed glasses. Tomari generally has a crazy-looking facial expression.
She generally wears a white smart shirt that's unbuttoned at the top, showcasing her cleavage, and dark pants.

Tomari possesses a steady skill for management which contrasts heavily with her bizarre behaviours; feared as a "merchant of death" she is generally considered a dangerous person. [2] She doesn't care about the destruction and death her weapons cause as she believes her job ends at selling. Tomari possesses anti-authoritarian tendencies though she still has a surprisingly rationalistic personality; to this end, she will easily bend her convictions if its in her best interests. While she may not be the most honest, she only takes crazy actions when they're in her best interests. [1]


Kengan Ashura

Niko was a well-defined, muscular man with long black hair, which he tied into a ponytail that hung over his right shoulder. He had confident eyes with pronounced tear troughs and thin facial hair on his chin. Like the rest of the Nikos, he wore a cloak that covered most of his body, with hood that can further obscure his identity.

Niko was a confident man who followed the beat of his own drum, doing whatever he thought was best. He developed a soft spot for Ohma after their first encounter, which caused them to have a master-student relationship from that point thereafter.


Kengan Ashura

Urita is a handsome CEO with a sharp face, discerning eyes and black hair set in a middle-parting that flows off to each side. He wears rectangular semi-rimmed glasses and is almost always seen wearing a sharp black suit.

He is a discerning and shrewd individual who possesses superior powers of analysis. [2] He was sharp enough to inherit the CEO position (from his father) while still in his twenties. [1]


Kengan Ashura

Xia Ji possesses a defined musculature with a lean, tall physique, a mane of long shaggy white hair and thin, mischievous eyes; his Worm tattoo is on the back of his right hand. He is always seen wearing a sleeveless purple chángshān with detached loose forearm sleeves.

On the surface, Xia Ji, presents himself with a lax and shrewd demeanor, seemingly unfazed by problematic incidents as though everything his under his control. He expressed no worry when informed that all of his students that had marked Gaoh Ryuki had been killed and seemed more interested in the show he was watching. [2] He likes absolutely winning games. [1] As noted by Lu Tian , he would do anything in his power to achieve his goals. [3]
He seems to be wary of those stronger than him due to his, comparatively, poorer fighting skills.
However, this cool and collected facade quickly shatters when things do not go his way, such as when his brother, Xia Yan , was chosen to be the Head of the Worm over him—a lifelong goal Ji had thought was assuredly handed to him from an early age, thinking him being born into wealth and high status within the Worm were key factors into his promotion—or whenever he is confronted by dangerous people like Lu Tian, who violently eliminated a retinue of elite bodyguards in front of him in the past, being cornered by Tokita Ohma and Kure Raian while attempting to escape following a failed ambush against Yamashita Kazuo , and hanging around with Edward Wu , who would constantly admonish and even bully him around for his incompetence throughout the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament behind the scenes.
When stressed out and not in his element, Xia Ji is arrogant, impulsive, reckless, and extremely temperamental, prone to emotional outbursts and panicking. This erratic behavior also tends to mesh with his shrewd assassin persona, which elevates his already unpredictable nature. He tends to berate and scream at his enemies, but at the same time, cower and be terrified at the prospect of them hurting him back, often resorting to retreating as soon as the moment presents itself. He doesn't hesitate to let everyone know that he doesn't want to fight, often yelling (in vain) that he is much stronger or deadlier than anyone thinks, but at the same time, applies his powerful but limited fighting skill set and surprise attacks to try and eliminate his enemies as quickly as possible.
Because of his contradictory and unpredictable nature, he has been described as a "dragon that should have been born a rat", describing his naturally gifted physique and position of power that is negated by his innate incompetence and spoiled, incompetent personality.


Kengan Ashura

Kazuo is an average-looking middle-aged man with a small, unassuming frame and a generally underwhelming presence. He has black hair with the sides greyed and light facial hair, framed by his pair of blocky glasses.

Kazuo starts as a timid, average person pushed around by the manager in his company and by other people in general. However, due to always being exposed to Ohma's blood lust and other fighters in the Kengan world, he started to lose his fear of ordinary people such as his manager and even to thugs who threaten to kill him.
During the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Kazuo becomes more overtly brave such as when he threatened Erioh Kure to protect his son, despite himself. [4] He respects Ohma more than anybody, due to fighter's strength and will. Even after being told by Hideki to make Ohma substitute out, Kazuo refused because he respects Ohma's will to fight more than anybody.


Kengan Ashura

Kenzo has a decidedly androgynous appearance with a long hairless face, long black hair that falls past his neck and is styled with a middle parting, cold dead-looking eyes, a thin nose, full lips and finally a pair of rectangular semi-rimless glasses; his overall facial expression conveys a cold calculating feeling. Because Kenzo spends all of his time inside his room, he typically only wears a shirt and dark pants. Kenzo's face & eyes bear a striking resemblance to his paternal ancestor Yamashita Ichinoshin .

Kenzo is an extremely calculating and methodological person who cares not for the recognition of others but is content with ruling from the shadows; to that end, he does not trust anyone and even modded his house into a fortress over the time he had shut himself in without his family finding out. [2] He can be described as a high-functioning hikikomori , due to not leaving his house in a decade; he stops his hikikomori tendencies after his encounter with the Kure Clan. [3] Similar to Hanafusa Hajime , he has no qualms about going to unethical extremes for scientific advancement, like trying to grow a brain from rat neurons. [4]


Kengan Ashura

Yasuo is an average looking teenager with black hair that he covers with a snapback cap that he wears backwards and a thin sprinkling of facial hair on his chin. He is usually seen wearing a casual t-shirt and jeans.

Yasuo is a rebellious youth who doesn't care much for his father's situation. However, despite his seemingly tough demeanour he shows his father, Yasuo is actually quite timid but hid due to his affiliation with Grandia. After Tokita Ohma effortlessly took the entire Grandia crew down, Yasuo changed his ways and became hard working.


Kengan Ashura

Yoshioka is characterised by his long hair, which he usually puts up in a ponytail, and an eyepatch over his left eye, which he lost in a fight against Kanoh Agito .

While still an active assassin, Yoshioka was a horribly diminutive person, drunk on his own power. However, since losing to the Fang, he has considerably mellowed out, acting polite, gentlemanly, and hospitably.


Kengan Ashura

Yoshitake has an effeminate appearance with short shaved light hair, a noticeable widow's peak, large eyes and noticeably small eyebrows. He wears frameless spectacles and has a single ring piercing in his left ear. When he stands, he commonly holds a pose with his pinky finger out (even sticking it out while doing menial tasks). [3]
Like most bosses, he wears a stylish formal suit.

Yoshitake is a outwardly flamboyant person with a tendency to pick on those weaker than him to feed his self-esteem. He has no qualms with tossing away people who have failed him and is always looking for the next best thing. Despite this attitude, Yoshitake sometimes shows a more caring and helpful side (as seen when he informed Yamashita Kazuo on the inner workings of the Kengan Association ). [4] He is not the type of person to spinelessly submit to and obey a greater power unconditionally. [1]


Kengan Ashura

Kokomi is a young woman with blonde hair that is tied in a bun with bangs hanging over her forehead while she has shoulder-length hair strands hanging on either side, amethyst-colored eyes, a voluptuous figure with moderately large, curvy breasts.

Kengan Ashura

Alan was a tall, muscular man with long, black hair, swept on the right in a long wavy tuft and kept in a headband and black-sclera eyes. Despite his height, he usually appeared shorter at times due to his habit of slouching.
Alan's outfit consisted of a sleeveless Chinese outfit, with a yin-yang symbol on the lower part, black pants, and wraps around his arms and feet.

Alan was arrogant and aggressive. He was dismissive of others' prowess, especially the gladiators of Purgatory, sneering at them for not being "real combatants" in his eyes. Much like Kure Raian , Alan was sadistic and ruthless, reveling in brutality and death.
Due to the influence of Huisheng, Alan was the vessel for the memories and personality of Wu Hei , the ancestor of the Wu and Kure from 5000 years ago. Since he underwent Huisheng in early childhood, his personality was a more complete mix of his personality and Wu Hei's when compared to his counterparts. Wu Hei's influence even spread to how he treated his own "descendants."
Alan treated Raian as both a plaything to break and one of his children.


Kengan Ashura

Gilbert is a handsome young man of a tall and muscular build, with looks identical to that of Edward Wu when he was in his youth. He later slicks his hair back, bearing an even greater resemblance to his father. He wears a hoodie with lightning-like patterns upon it.

Gilbert, inheriting the memories of his father, essentially 'is' a younger Edward. Just like Edward, Gilbert was outwardly confident and prideful of his abilities, belittling his uncle for even thinking of taking over the clan upon Edward's passing. At the same time, he also respected those with real strength, praising Willem for being the only survivor besides himself after killing the moderates, and even praising his uncle Howard for being a 'monster', despite being the one who killed him.


Kengan Ashura

Terashi is a tall, slender man with long, slicked-back black hair styled into a short ponytail. He wears an all-black outfit along with an eyeless mask. The mask itself follows the pattern of the Taijitu , otherwise known as the "yin-yang symbol". [5]
Under his mask, Terashi possess a youthful face with delicate features. Due to plastic surgery, the 'impression' his face gives off is slightly different to his previous one. Thanks to his artificial kinetic vision, the veins in his eyes are very prominent when in active use.

Terashi is a calm and analytical individual with an intuitive mind. He possesses an immense respect for Rolon Donaire , being wary of even the slightlest moves from him.
Terashi is also not above mockery, declaring that a martial artist's strength is a complete waste. Despite this, Terashi is otherwise aware that he's nowhere near as strong as the rest. After his defeat against Naoya, Terashi admitted he completely underestimated the strength of a pro martial artist, and leaves the ring with no hard feelings.


Kengan Ashura

Jurota is a tall, muscular man with dark, messy hair and light facial hair. He wears a judogi with a black obi for his fights, with a dark haori on top and a pair of Geta for when he's not. He also possesses cauliflower ears , likely from his judo background.

Jurota is a stoic individual with an analytical mind. Always aware of his surroundings, Jurota won't even bother to defend himself if he knows that someone else would deal with it for him. Jurota is also rational enough to want to discover what was going on behind the scenes. Ironically, not even he is immune to Yamashita Kazuo's somewhat unwarranted reputation, believing him to be a mighty and dangerous man, contrary to the actual person.
Jurota also disapproves of unnecessary violence, such as his disgust at Raian for the murder of Alan Wu .
Like Carlos Medel , Jurota lamented that he was too strong for him to enjoy the fights he had. Because of his strength, the only one he believes that can give him a challenge is Meguro Masaki , who he recognizes as both a prodigy and an utter monster in judo. Because of this want for a great nemesis to fight, Meguro's existence is the only thing that can even crack Jurota's usual demeanor.
Being a master Judoka, Jurota is someone who continues sticking to his Judo while fighting, even though anything goes. While it gives him an undeniable disadvantage, Jurota has poured everything into Judo, without giving other marital arts so much as a look, with that he reached the strength he now has.

Carlos is a man of average height and bronze skin and donned many physiques throughout his boxing career to become a champion across five weight divisions from middleweight to heavyweight. As such, his appearance has ranged from lean and defined to hulking and voluminous. However, after departing from boxing and entering the underground scene, he has since shed all unnecessary weight.
His bantamweight is him in his most comfortable physique: thin and wiry to the point of being considered emaciated by other fighters. He has a gaunt facial structure and a narrow jawline, slicked-back hair, and a thin mustache.
As a fighter for Purgatory, he tends to wear wraps around his arms and feet. He also wears dark shorts with the imprint of a Calavera on the left.

Carlos is a relatively calm and confident person with a quiet yet profound sense of pride in his abilities and his talent as a fighter. During fights, Carlos is prone to be even more boastful than he already is, bordering on trash talk at times, and plays at psychological warfare on his opponent - maintaining his calm demeanor, arguably to the point of extreme pride by playing with Kaolan. Despite his skill, he is still not above utilizing Purgatory's rule-set to his advantage, winning by ring out if need be.
Carlos desires to be strong above all else, ready to adapt as necessary to acquire that strength. In the face of unfamiliar difficulty, he would go as far as expand his skillset more martial arts to his repertoire. When he had trouble in underground matches in Brazil, he started to practice capoeira. After his fight with Kaolan, he recognized that he would need to adapt yet again.
Carlos is also quite the playboy, flattering and acting like a gentleman with Akiyama Kaede . He seems to also hold a great sense of camaraderie.
Carlos is also a smoker.


Kengan Ashura

Jose is a large and very imposing individual, with a bulky muscular frame befitting his being a pro wrestler (especially in the SJPW), long straight black hair that he ties into a long ponytail and a thick long bang that falls over the right side of his face. While wrestling, he wears a skeletal lucha libre mask over his face. Unlike the majority of other pro wrestlers, Jose doesn't have cauliflower ears .

While in kayfabe as El Ninja, Jose is a very serious, somewhat arrogant and can be incredibly intimidating. Outside of kayfabe, Jose is arguably the complete opposite of his persona, being kind with great camaraderie and a sense of kinship as evidenced when Yumigahama sucker punched Koga , Jose flew into rage and was ready to fight then and there. [6]
He is described by other wrestlers as a complete wrestling fanatic, having becoming enraged when Gaoh Ryuki seemed like he disrespected wrestling for a single second after having called Koga's training "a waste" even when Ryuki attempted to deescalate the situation.


Kengan Ashura

Wangfang was a tall young man with light long hair styled into a ponytail.
He wore a white chángshān and black pants, and hides a second, more form-fitting chángshān underneath.

Wangfang, at first glance, was a fairly laid-back individual, acting as one of the more rational gladiators.
His real personality bled through when he taunted Rolón Donaire without fear, with a muted malice on his face. The real Wangfang was an immensely proud martial artist, killing Long Min for trying to one-up him at every turn. That said, he only really cared about proving that he was Niko's heir; initially considering Gaoh Ryuki to be a threat to that future, only to change his mind upon learning that he doesn't use the Niko Style.
Due to being a major obstacle to being considered a true heir, Wangfang harbors an immense grudge for Tokita Ohma . In his eyes, Ohma was an outsider who his master gave the Possessing Spirit to on a whim. In his final moments, upon realizing who Ohma (and by extension, Ryuki) was a clone of, he could only curse out The Other Niko for using him as nothing more than a test subject for the true Tiger's Vessel.


Kengan Ashura

Lu Tian was a tall man with a muscular build. He had long, white hair tied into a ponytail and a chinstrap beard. He wore a trench coat over his clothes, only taking it off when fighting in a match. He had a small black Worm tattoo on the tip of his tongue.
When unleashing his latent strength, his muscles grew, and his hair became messier. Also, his eyes gained the black-sclera typical of the descendants of Wu Hei .
In Xia Ji's flashback, Lu Tian had shorter hair and was clean-shaven, though he still wore his trench coat and clothes underneath.
Two years after the Tournament, the effects of utilzing Guihun were still apparent, with half of his body seemingly permanently 'activated', with his affected half showing it was still 'unrestrained'.

On the surface, Lu Tian was a stern, no-nonsense individual. In reality, it's a mask to hide the vicious beast he was. His ability to socialize and form genuine bonds with others is why hardly anyone suspected him.
As someone who claimed to have mastered the Formless stance under The Other Niko's tutelage, he looked down on Kanoh Agito , deeming him to be an inferior prototype since the Other Niko never taught him. Despite his affiliation with the Worm, his loyalty lied with his master rather than the organization. Unlike Agito, Lu Tian "surrendered" to the beast within, being described by Xia Ji as a "loose cannon".
In his life as a Gladiator, he seemed to be friends with Arashiyama Jurota and Nicolas Le Banner , while far less amicable with Liu Dongcheng .


Kengan Ashura

Naidan was a tall, well-built man with short and spiky white hair. He had a heavyset body frame accentuated with his stylized Bökh uniform that showed off his large and well-toned physique.
His uniform is an Inner Mongolian wrestling uniform with heavy liberties taken. His jacket was not a traditional zodog by any means, if even one at all, being sleeveless and made of fur, with a lighter fur as piping. As he was from the Southern Mongolian style of Bökh, he eschewed a shuudag (briefs) in favor of traditional trousers that went down to his ankle,  with bandages around his ankle.
He had a white tattoo with a centipede design (a symbol that signifies a high-ranking Worm ) on his right forearm, the color allowing him to keep it hidden until he desires to show it.

Naidan was a relatively quiet yet stern man. As a loyal, high-ranking member of the Worm, he tended to be fairly neutral to the things happening around him and had his mission as a Worm as the primary objective in his mind. One exception to that mindset came in the form of Liu Dongcheng who, despite his rather laid-back and irreverent personality, Naidan found a friend in him.
However, this friendship did not stop him from fulfilling his goals. Understanding that his death was required to fully unleash the potential of the Omega, Gaoh Ryuki , he went in to ensure that Ryuki would become a "Connector" to lead the Worm, for reasons not made clear yet. Curiously, he possessed a distrust of Nicolas Le Banner , going as far as to warn Dongcheng not to trust Nicolas.


Kengan Ashura

Nicolas was a handsome man of slight frame and build, with defined yet lean musculature. He had dark blond hair and sharp eyes.

The real Nicolas seemed to be a mentally unstable sociopath, showing no remorse in murdering multiple civilians and even his teammates, considering himself a "cure", and his killings the thing that kept the world's harmony in place. Though he shared a bond with Jean-Luc, not even he was spared from his bloodthristy nature.


Kengan Ashura

Wu Hei's appearance was shrouded in mystery. What is known was that he was an apparently muscular individual and the telltale black eyes of his descendants were due to his ceaseless slaughter of everything on his path.

Wu Hei, according to legend, was incredibly bloodthirsty, gaining infamy from his killing spree. By Edward's admission, Wu Hei despises working under others, which mostly prohibits Huisheng to the current head. Of course, to prevent the memory of Wu Hei from ceasing, spares are needed.


Kengan Ashura

Yuzaki was an imposingly intimidating individual with a powerful and muscular frame, black slicked back hair and dark rings around both eyes. It was inferred that he almost always had an apathetic expression on his face, though when pressed during battle it can be assumed he would take on a frightening ghost-like expression. All of these physical characteristics were taken by his imposter.

Yuzaki was supposedly extremely taciturn, rarely uttering anything while also possessing a very intimidating and frightening aura.


Kengan Ashura

Alisa is a beautiful curvy woman with shoulder-length dark-colored hair that is styled into a ponytail (her hair was seen down during the match between Narushima Koga and Utsubuki Kokuro ) with long bangs framing her face, light-colored eyes and a stern look.
She wears two different outfits:

As a referee of Purgatory, she wears a fancy evening dress. During the Berserker Bowl , she wore the same referee uniform as the referees of the Kengan Association.

Alisa possesses a charisma that allows her to entertain and hype up the entirety of attendees at Mt. Godslayer . As a referee, she is very serious and firm. During the fight between Kure Raian and Alan Wu , she was extremely horrified by Alan's death at the hands of Raian. [4] During the fight between Takeshi Wakatsuki and Fei Wangfang , Alisa got freaked out when Wangfang rubbed his bleeding palm in her face.


Kengan Ashura

Liu Dongcheng is a youthful man with a light physical frame with long black hair styled into a ponytail. He wears a dark chángshān with white pants.

Dongcheng is an otherwise composed individual marked by a volatile temprament. He has a disdain for the talkative or poetic types, whether it would be from the dismissive, boastful statements of Alan Wu , or the philosophical, poetic musings from Tokuno'o Tokumichi . In spite of this, Dongcheng is willing to act more friendly towards those who gain his sympathy, considering he shaked hands with Nitoku after beating him despite not liking him before.
Dongcheng shared a close bond with fellow A-List Gladiator Naidan Mönkhbat , whom he had met three years before the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament , and is also a friend to his other fellow Gladiators like Fei Wangfang and Nicolas Le Banner .
Perhaps due to the risk of his temper flaring up and costing him a match, Dongcheng is always wary of fighting unless he deems it worthwhile. He masks this with a variety of colorful excuses, such as the "will of his father" preventing him from fighting in the first match, and daunted at the prospect of fighting Misasa after learning that he was the current Fang of Metsudo .


Kengan Ashura

Nicolas is a handsome man of slight frame and build, with defined yet lean musculature. He has fair hair that falls over the left side of his face. Originally, his hair was much shorter.
Nicolas' attire consists of short-sleeved shirts, summer shorts, trainers, and circular-rimmed sunglasses. When fighting, he sports only a pair of dark spats.

Nicolas is, ostensibly, an easy-going man. He likes to socialize with his fellow gladiators and tends to light-heartedly mock them, especially Yumigahama Hikaru . Underneath the demanor belies a bloodthirsty psychopath. Bold and impulsive, Nicolas considers killing to be entertaining no matter where it happens, and would even disregard his own life for that to happen.
If something doesn't interest him, Nicolas tends to brush it off with practically no effect to himself, such as his loss against Jose Kanzaki or that Purgatory's rules forbade killing your opponents.
When he was Jean, he held an immense admiration for the real Nicolas Le Banner , seeing him as a hero and the protagonist of his world. His killing of the Real Nicolas in self-defense weighed heavily on his psyche; he ended up "becoming" Nicolas to rebuild that shattered view.
During his brief awakening, Nicolas believes that he is both Nicolas and Jean at once, switching between the two in what appears to be a form of Disassociate Personality Disorder.


Kengan Ashura

Rolón is a tall muscular man with slicked-back, light blond hair. His outfit during the tournament consists of a simple tanktop, dark pants and a pair of sneakers. When it was his turn to fight, he wears only his pants.

Rolón is a collected and level-headed individual. He is highly analytical while talking about fights, and very informed about Kengan fighters. He prefers to not interfere with other people's fights, as seen when he didn't feel the need to warn Yumigahama Hikaru about the risks of his match and when he asked Liu Dongcheng to do the same during Naidan Mönkhbat's fight against Gaoh Ryuki (though in the former case it's more of a personal dislike for the man), although he is willing to stop a fight when he deems it necessary. Rolón is also very intuitive, able to understand the situation in front of him and even what another person might think.
As a result of his high position in the Purgatory rankings, Rolón is respected and feared by his fellow gladiators. In return, Rolón also gives respect to those that deserve it, such as Carlos Medel and the other king, Arashiyama Jurota .


Kengan Ashura

Falcon is a young man with windswept hair, sharp eyes and a decent build. His fingernails and toenails are remarkably sharp.
While in his formal attire he wears his black suit finishing his outfit off with Aviator sunglasses and a pair of black gloves.
When in the arena, he sports a sleeveless gi and bands around arms and ankles.

Falcon is a rationalist with a romantic side. By his account, one of the reasons he became a wrecker was to avoid the death penalty. The other reason is, despite his love for magic, he recognizes that it is not an economically viable option on its own. After watching a movie about ninjas, he later developed an obsession with them, motivating him to emulate them, to the point that he speaks with archaic terms; putting on theatrics all the while. As part of his obsession, he also has ninja memorabilia all over his room. Even outside of a fight, he likes evoking the style of a ninja, having his right pointer and middle fingers at eye level at nearly all times.
In the pursuit of reason, his fight with Lihito opened his eyes to the shell he was in. Recognising Lihito as the "Second Impact" in his life, Falcon tries to irrationally fight Kuroki Gensai despite his injuries, in an effort to grow as a person. After been swiftly defeated by the older master of the Kaiwan Style , Falcon have began to identify himself as one of Kuroki's "students" and see him as his "ninja master".
He also appears to have a subservient relationship with Toyoda Idemitsu , who had persuaded him to join Purgatory after learning of his obsession.


Kengan Ashura

Toa is a humungous, musclebound dark-skinned man with light-colored hair styled into an upright little ponytail, mustache, and goatee. He also has tribal tattoos that are present throughout his body.

Toa is a serious man who firmly believes in his strength and ideals. He looks down on people he doesn't deem worthy opponents.
He dismisses his heritage as a Maori warrior. He instead deems himself a Seeker who pursues the title of the strongest. His ambition to prove himself as the strongest has led him to declare that he will even surpass even his ancestor, Jonah Mudo.
Toa's most significant weaknesses are both his ego and pride. Those flaws were why he lost his fight against Julius Reinhold when he believed that he could take on his opponent's fully enhanced strike instead of trying to avoid it. As Rolón Donaire puts it, Toa's passivity costs him the victory.


Kengan Ashura

Hikaru is a large, imposing man with characteristics that make him look much older than he really is. He possesses a very muscular frame, accented by his typical attire, a simple dark, long-sleeved shirt with matching slacks. He also has a head of shocked, shaggy black hair, mild sideburns, and a sharp, angular jawline that ends with a long chin. His typical facial expression is a distinct, toothy grin complemented by his thick, hairless brows.

Hikaru is an arrogant and highly self-centered individual, continually putting himself up to a higher standard than those around him. Often addressing them as his "stepping stones," and in particular, identifies the Kengan Association and everything and everyone related to it as such. To that extent, he betrayed the Association that recruited him in favor of Purgatory for apparently no other reason than the fact that the latter organization promised "better conditions," even though by that point, he became the Sixth Fang of Metsudo.
Due to his ego, Hikaru is not above getting provoked, quickly lashing out against those he deems to be inferior to him. One such example is him sucker-punching Koga Narushima in the liver when the latter dismissed him while trying to talk Jose Kanzaki out of getting into an argument with him. Another was when Misasa goaded him into fighting him after mocking him. The exception to this is Rolón Donaire , who even dared Hikaru to say something against him, with Hikaru reluctantly holding his tongue.
He also has no qualms with murder, having killed a fellow bodyguard as he left Metsudo's employ—a fact that he callously brushes off when Misasa brought it up. After his humiliating defeat against Misasa, Hikaru showed to be quite a sore loser as he screamed in both rage and pain while swearing to kill his hated enemy and demanded the 8th Fang of Metsudo to not turn his back on him.


Kengan Ashura

Ryozo is a languid looking individual who almost always wears an equally relaxed, disinterested facial expression. He has long hair that he ties into a high ponytail with two long thick bangs that frame his face, noticeable bags under his eyes and an unkempt circle beard.

He is a noticeably relaxed and blasé person, who would rather do whatever he wants than anything else. Despite being a fighting prodigy, Ryozo has little interest in fighting and is more into smoking and drinking.


Kengan Ashura

Samato is a well muscled individual with a long face, a sharp nose and long light-coloured hair, which he wears in a single long, crescent-shaped bang that covers the right side of his face. However, his most distinguishing feature are his completely black sclera at .

Samato is arrogant and aggressive. Much like his relative Kure Raian, he is sadistic and ruthless, reveling in brutality and death.


Kengan Ashura

Ikeuchi has short, close-cropped hair and is fairly large, being noticeably larger than Kureishi Mitsuyo . His most distinguishing feature are his prominent cheekbones. He also has developed cauliflower ears over the months since the first Rokushin Kaikan Tournament. After abandoning karate, Ikeuchi stops wearing his gi and instead wears a pair of boxing shorts during his fights.

Ikeuchi is a noticeably driven individual. He is also humble enough to recognise and acknowledge his own weaknesses.


Kengan Ashura

Koyasu is an incredibly domineering man with broad facial features, thick light-coloured hair, an equally thick beard and sideburns, thick eyebrows and a confident grin almost always affixed to his face. When he gets serious and excited in his fights, his eyes can take on a cat-like appearance.

Koyasu is a confident individual, befitting his great strength. He is also very perceptive, especially in regards to karate, able to correctly deduce the method Ikeuchi Mentaro was utilising to make up for his lack of intuition. [2] [3]


Kengan Ashura

Joji is a physically powerful man with a highly built frame, messy fair-coloured hair and lines under his eyes. His most distinguishing feature is his blinded left eye. While it was injured while fighting a bear during a training in the mountains, the three scars are from when he was scratched in a marital dispute.

Joji is a generally serious individual, who rarely minces his words.


Kengan Ashura

Wulong is a tall, muscular man that sports a shock of light long hair pulled back into a ponytail and stubble on his chin. When his ponytail is untied, he resembles both Ohma and Ryuki.
In most of his appearances, Shen Wulong wears a black tracksuit.
His most curious feature is his eyes, which appear to have dual pupils.

At first glance, Shen Wulong possesses an aloof, nonchalant attitude toward almost everything. He is very whimsical at times, such as demanding to meet Narushima Koga simply because of his victory over Xia Ji while ignoring the fact he is in a hostile position to the Kengan Association , only to give up immediately upon being pointed out how unreasonable his request was. Wulong's nonchalance forces Xia Yan to play babysitter, giving him reminders that he can't do things on a whim. He nearly revealed his real name to Yamashita Kazuo , before settling on "Jackie Lee."
However, Wulong is also capable of great violence. He considers himself to be the World's "immune system", that the Earth "calls" upon - an aspect of his personality that drives some to say that he is "sick in the head". [1] While not cruel, he does not hesitate to kill those who threaten his life.
Despite this, Wulong is rather humble, claiming anyone can accomplish some of his feats if they know the right "principles" (such as stopping a spear charge by holding down the point of the force - the tip, with his fingers). He also appears to be very keen to compliment those he deems strong (even if they seem quite weak in comparison to his own might), as first demonstrated in his second confrontation with Gaoh Mukaku . In addition, he is very perceptive and analytical, not only remembering the specifics of Mukaku's fighting style 80 years after they last met, but also outright voicing his opinion on the techniques of his opponent, sometimes even explaining how he avoided or stopped a certain attack. He also appears to have a habit of comparing the martial prowess of different people he knows, much to the annoyance of some of them. [1]
Despite being the 'true' leader of the Worm, he does not consider the Worm and the Westward Faction as actual subordinates, seeing Yan as an actual friend. He mostly leaves leading to Yan - to the extent that so far, the Connector himself has only initiated direct action when his clones' survival is compromised. Wulong doesn't even regard his supposed enemies with animosity the animosity, going so far as to share a drink with Kazuo and eventually Narushima Joji . The bond he formed with Joji is also genuine, enough that he even humors him when asked how to defeat him as well as his motivations for retrieving Ryuki and Ohma.
One thing Ohma has in common with Wulong is his massive appetite, with Wulong wanting ramen after just finishing a meal.


Kengan Ashura

Tatsuyoshi is an incredibly imposing dark-skinned individual, with a dense heavyset frame, cropped hair, broad facial features and his most distinguishing feature: his black sclera'd eyes. He almost always has an intimidatingly indifferent facial expression.

Katsuya appears to be a very taciturn individual rarely speaking much.


Kengan Ashura

Totsugawa is an indifferent looking man with slicked back hair, pronounced tear troughs, a stubbled beard and an overall languorous expression on his face. Befitting of his status as a 4th Dan black belt karateka, Totsugawa has a muscular body.

He is a very relaxed and passive individual. Totsugawa is respected by a lot of the younger Rokushin members as he is disciplined and has taught them a lot, Oshio Gaku being one of them. He has an underlying laziness about him, disliking intense exercises. [1]


Kengan Ashura

Idemitsu is an imposing individual with a thick well-defined musculature, a large frame and his back, shoulders, upper arms and outer pecs covered in Japanese tattoos. He has ruffled light-colored hair with the sides shaved, dark-colored eyebrows, broad handsome facial features and his most distinguishing feature being his goat-like eyes. Toyoda seems to prefer wearing casual summery clothing and footwear, such as a summer shirt, shorts and sandals.

Idemitsu is an extremely ambitious man, with a notably juvenile nature; Kimishima Mana noted that he was a slave to his desires (like a child is), the difference being he has the power to quench them. [3] Despite this, as he is a dealer of "information", he is deceptively shrewd and sharp. He is also openly avaricious, casually noting his own greed. [4] He has incredible trust towards his gladiators, as much as considering their win against the Kengan Association assured and leaving them the responsibility to decide who will fight their opponents.
Idemitsu is also rather humble, admitting how his physical prowess is small compared to the fighters affiliated with Purgatory.


Kengan Ashura

Zong is a powerful looking individual with a confident expression and light hair swept over to the right.

He appears to be a confident person, reassured of his own abilities.


Kengan Omega

Adam is a tall, muscular man with blond hair, blue eyes and a bodybuilder-like physique. He's possesses a thin waist, wide shoulders, and wide back forming a text-book v-taper. His arms are adorned with various tattoos, most notably the skulls located on both of his shoulders and the crosses down his forearms. His most notable feature is a grill on his four front teeth that have the word "FUCK" engraved in them (censored to "DAMN" in the anime adaptation).
During his match in the Annihilation Tournament, he opts to only wear shorts. Outside of them, he often wears trousers with a black tank top and sleeveless jacket, resulting in his tattoos being visible at all times. He is often seen with a prideful expression, turning up his nose at all times towards opponents.
Two years after the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Adam hasn't changed much in appearance with the addition of small earrings in both ears and several lines cut into his hair.

Adam is very vulgar in the way he speaks, throwing profanity into nearly every sentence that leaves his mouth. He also tends to make various sexual innuendos while talking, an example being that while he was fighting Imai he said "Enough foreplay".
He has no hesitation in doing or saying just about anything that pops into his head, not limited to displaying his middle finger or mocking their appearance. After being defeated by Cosmo, Adam mellowed and became more respectful (while still retaining his boisterous manner of speech). Despite his love of a brawl, he shows disgust at unnecessary violence.


Kengan Omega

Akoya Seishu is a bulky muscular man with an angular head, sharp facial features and cheekbones, focused eyes, thin black eyebrows, and black hair gelled backward into backward-facing spikes. During his bouts in the Kengan matches, he wears a white Karate gi adorned with a black belt with black shorts, usually with a black tank-top underneath.
His police wear consists of a white dress shirt and black trousers fastened with a leather belt.
During his one-man police raids, he wears a full suit of bulletproof armor over a bodysuit, paired with a circular glass visor.

Akoya is a man who is driven almost entirely by his intense brand of justice. He thoroughly judges evil: no matter how seemingly insignificant the crime, even in hindsight, Akoya executes those he deems guilty without mercy. Because of how mercilessly ruthless and indiscriminate he is when executing his justice, he takes it upon Hiyama Shunka to somewhat curb his tendencies by directing his actions. Adam Dudley likened his vigilantism to Dirty Harry syndrome . [5]
Two years later, his violent nature and twisted sense of justice have seemingly retained their intensity, with Akoya even being given a Kengan match suspension for attempting to murder his opponent in those two years. [6] Hiyama noted that through his drive to become stronger, Akoya has brought himself closer to "death". [7]
Even with all his ruthlessness, Akoya is not above having "allies" to help him. While Hiyama is a means to an end, upon evaluating him, Akoya also possesses a vested interest in Gaoh Ryuki as a potential ally. It's implied that it's due to both of them sharing a misguided bloodlust towards those they deem unworthy of life, with Akoya "executing justice" on "sinners" and Gaoh "exterminating" members of the Worm, who are nothing but "pests" to him.


Kengan Omega

Bando is an imposing, bulky man with a powerful frame. With broad facial features, Bando has thin facial hair and a thick black beard. His black hair has severely receded since his youth, with notable male-patterned baldness. His eyes have a dead, disinterested gaze in them, and combined with his apparent lack of eyebrows and heavy eyebrow ridges, it adds to his generally dangerous appearance.
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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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.

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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 Omega

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.
