A delinquent with some notable achievements (he boasts of winning a 5-on-1 fight), he is often overlooked and disrespected due to his lack of a nickname. Typically the most conservative among Kamiyama's friends, he frequently falls victim to kidnappings by delinquents from Bass High School and unwillingly hosts gatherings of Cromartie High students at his home. He is the character with the most common sense in the series. Despite his rugged appearance, he bears a striking resemblance to his mother, aside from his hairstyle.
