The overly enthusiastic former Osakan gangster, Bancho, was brought into the team solely because Ukiya believed he "has the eyes of a Gate Keeper." With the mindset of a samurai, Bancho views the girls in the Gate Keepers team as princesses and sees himself as their hero. It is much later in the series that he reveals his latent Gate Keeper ability, the Gate of Solid Crush. This ability seems to attract Kaoru, possibly due to the similarity of their gates. His Gate color is orange.
