Manjiro Sano (Mikey)

It is the year 2005 in Tokyo Revengers

Younger sister: Emma Sano

She is Manjiro's half-sister (his father's daughter with another woman), who joined the family when she was young. It was then that Manjiro began calling himself "Mikey"—a Western nickname so Emma wouldn't feel left out. The two have a very close sisterly bond. Emma is sweet, shy, and enjoys spending time with Mikey and his friends at Toman.

Appearance: She is short (around 155 cm) and has a slender build. She has long, wavy blonde hair that reaches her shoulders, which she likes to wear loose or tied in a ponytail with a pink hair tie. Her eyes are large and light brown, and she has delicate features. She usually wears feminine and casual clothing: skirts, blouses, and sneakers, and often wears accessories such as small necklaces or star earrings.

Grandfather: Mansaku Sano

He is the paternal grandfather of Manjiro, Shinichiro, and Emma, ​​and the owner of a martial arts dojo where Mikey trained from a young age. He is a strict but fair man who taught Mikey the fundamentals of karate and the meaning of honor. He is the father figure of the family, lovingly caring for his grandchildren after the death of their parents and, later, Shinichiro.

Appearance: He is an older man (around 70 years old) of medium height and a sturdy build, with muscles still visible from his constant training. He has short, white hair combed back and a short white beard. His eyes are gray and piercing, with a gaze that conveys both authority and kindness. He usually wears his dojo uniform (white gi) when working, and comfortable clothing such as shirts and long pants in his free time.

Parents

• Makoto Sano (father): He died when Manjiro was little; he doesn't have many memories of him.

• Sakurako Sano (mother): She also passed away early, leaving Manjiro and Shinichiro in the care of their grandfather.

Older brother: Shinichiro Sano

He is Manjiro's older brother and the founder of the Black Dragons—the most important figure in Mikey's life. He taught him to love motorcycles, instilled in him his dream of an era of honorable delinquents, and was his role model. He is calm, intelligent, and loyal, caring deeply for Manjiro and Emma. He is also a childhood friend of Kazutora and Baji.

Appearance: He is of average height (around 172 cm) and has a slim build. He has short, straight black hair with bangs that cover his forehead. His eyes are dark brown and expressive, and he often wears a calm smile. He usually dresses casually: short-sleeved shirts, jeans, and motorcycle boots, and always wears a leather bracelet on his left wrist. He has a small scar on his right eyebrow from a motorcycle accident when he was a child.

Death: Shinichiro died shortly before the Toman was founded, when Manjiro was 13 years old. The incident occurred when Kazutora and Baji tried to steal Shinichiro's motorcycle to give to Mikey for his birthday—in a moment of panic and confusion, Kazutora struck him on the head with an iron bar, causing his instant death. This tragedy deeply affected everyone, especially Mikey, Kazutora, and Baji, and marked the beginning of a series of events that led to the creation of the Toman.

Kazutora Hanemiya

Who is it?

He is one of the founders of Toman and co-captain of the first division alongside Baji. He is a boy with a complicated past and strong emotions, whose love for his friends sometimes leads him down the wrong path.

Childhood

He grew up in a dysfunctional family: his father beat him "as discipline," and he had to choose between his mother and father at a young age, which caused him great pain. He met Baji when he was a child and they became inseparable friends—Baji helped him when he was alone, and Kazutora considered him his only family. He was also friends with Shinichiro (Mikey's older brother) and Emma, ​​and he greatly admired Mikey from a young age, wanting to make him happy at all costs.

Appearance

She is of average height (around 174 cm) and has a slim build. She has long, dark hair with some blond streaks, cut in a wolf cut and tousled. Her eyes are large and yellow, and she has a mole under her right eye. She has a tiger tattoo on the right side of her neck that extends to her shoulder. She usually wears her school uniform or oversized clothing in neutral colors, and she wears a gold bell earring in her left ear.

Proximity to Baji and Mikey

• With Baji: He's his best friend and the only one he completely trusts. The two share a very deep bond, and Kazutora is willing to do anything to protect him—even when his plan to steal a motorcycle for Mikey ends in tragedy, Baji never abandons him.

• With Mikey: He deeply admires Mikey's strength and leadership and wants to be of service to him. However, his love for Mikey sometimes borders on obsession, and his vulnerable nature leads him to blame Mikey for Shinichiro's death, creating tension between them. He also gets along well with the other founders of Toman, but his emotional nature sometimes causes him to distance himself from them.

Ryohei Hayashi "Peh-yan"

Who is it?

He is the vice-captain of the Toman Third Division, under the command of Pah-Chin. He is known for being impulsive, loyal to his captain, and always willing to fight for his friends.

Childhood

He joined Mikey and his friends in high school and became very close to Pah-Chin—the two form an inseparable duo, with Pah-yan always following in his captain's footsteps. There aren't many details about his childhood, but it's clear he grew up in an environment where friendship and strength were valued, which helped him adapt quickly to the Toman.

Appearance

He is short for his age (around 155 cm) and has a small but muscular build. He has short, thin blond hair with bangs that cover his eyes. His features are small and expressive, and he often has an angry or fighting-ready expression. He usually wears the Toman uniform or casual clothes like T-shirts and baggy pants.

Takashi Mitsuya

Who is it?

He is one of the founders of the Toman and captain of the second division (the gang's elite guard). He is known for his intelligence, creativity, and protective nature, as well as being the designer of the Toman's official uniform.

Childhood

He grew up taking care of his two younger sisters, Luna and Mana, since his mother worked all day—this taught him to be responsible and attentive from a young age. One day, in a park, he saw Hakkai Shiba hitting someone and stopped him, telling him that violence should only be used to protect; from then on, Hakkai saw him as an ideal brother and joined the Toman. He also met Draken when he was a child: Mitsuya had painted a dragon on a wall and ate all of Draken's food, who offered to let him keep the graffiti in exchange—months later, they discovered they both had similar dragon tattoos, forming the "Twin Dragons." He became friends with the other founders of the Toman even before the gang existed.

Appearance

She is of average height (around 170 cm) and has a slim but toned build. She has short, straight black hair with bangs that cover part of her forehead. Her eyes are dark brown and expressive. She usually wears the Toman uniform (a black tokkō-fuku with gold details) or casual clothes in neutral colors, and often carries a backpack or bag to store her designs.

Closeness with Mikey and other members

• With Mikey: I deeply admire his leadership and vision for Toman, and he's one of the few who can calm his impulses. Mikey trusts him to maintain discipline in the second division and values ​​his judgment.

Childhood

He grew up training at the same dojo as Mikey's grandfather, so they knew each other from a young age—their favorite place to spar and play was the school swing set, and Mikey says he always beat him in those duels. He was also friends with Shinichirou (Mikey's older brother) and Emma, ​​and he helped Kazutora when they were both in elementary school, forging a complicated but deep friendship. He had a simple family background: he lives with his mother, Ryoko, whom he greatly resembles in character, and he loves eating "Peyang" instant noodles, which he often shares with Chifuyu. Although he was a mischievous child and sometimes got into trouble, he always tried to help those who were alone or hurt.

Appearance

He is tall for his age (175 cm) and has a lean but muscular build. His hair is long, slightly wavy, and reaches his shoulders; he wears it loose in everyday life, but ties it back in a ponytail before fighting so it doesn't get in his way. His most prominent features are his two sharp fangs, which give him a savage appearance when he smiles. He usually wears the Toman uniform (a black tokkō-fuku with gold trim), and when he joins Valhalla (as part of his infiltration plan), he wears that gang's white jacket with a headless angel logo.

Closeness to Mikey and other members of the Toman

• With Mikey: They are childhood friends and share a very strong bond. Baji was the one who proposed creating the Toman with him, as he believed in Mikey's vision of an honorable gang. Despite his reckless nature, Baji deeply admires Mikey and is willing to do anything to protect him and uphold the values ​​they established together.

Who is Draken?

His real name is Ken Ryuguji, and he is the founding vice-leader of Toman, wielding power and authority nearly equal to Mikey's. He is known for his maturity, strong sense of justice, and imposing strength in combat.

Childhood

Abandoned by his mother at a young age, he grew up in a Shibuya brothel, raised by the women who worked there. He had no father figures, which caused him pain, but despite his difficult environment, he never lost his humanity or his desire to protect others. He and Mikey met when they were both in fourth grade: both were known for being strong and taking on bigger rivals, but Mikey impressed Draken with his no-holds-barred fighting style and his refusal to obey weak people—that day their friendship and mutual admiration were born.

Appearance

He is very tall for his age (185 cm) and has a slim but muscular build, with a defined abdomen—Takemichi commented that his physique doesn't look like that of a teenager. His hairstyle is distinctive: the sides and back of his head are shaved to reveal a dragon tattoo on his left side (he got it when he was in elementary school), and he has long blond hair on top, tied in a braid with a few loose strands in the front. He has a scar on the left side of his abdomen from being stabbed by Kiyomasa. He usually wears the Toman uniform (a black tokkō-fuku with gold details) or casual clothes like long patterned jackets.

Closeness with Mikey

They are childhood friends and form an inseparable duo: Mikey is the "brain" of the Toman (with his sense of justice and leadership) and Draken is the "heart" (who gives him humanity, calms his impulses, and empathizes with others). Draken cares for Mikey with immense patience, as if he were his little brother, and is willing to do anything to protect him.

Structure and initial values

• Structure: It began with 5 divisions (approximately 20 members each), led by a captain and vice-captain, under Mikey and Draken. Later, a sixth division was created with members from Valhalla, but it was disbanded due to Tetta Kisaki's betrayal.

• Uniform: Designed by Mitsuya, it is a black tokkō-fuku (kamikaze-style dress) with gold details: gang name on the back and role/division number on the sleeves. Leaders wear white or red sashes to distinguish themselves.

• Values: Honor, loyalty, friendship and respect — it differed from other gangs by not attacking innocent people or using weapons.

Pivot point

Shortly after its founding, Kazutora and Baji attempted to steal a motorcycle for Mikey, but ended up accidentally killing Mikey's father. Kazutora was sent to a reform school, and the Toman lost its initial innocence, beginning a path toward corruption.

What is Toman?

The Tokyo Manji Gang, commonly known as Toman (東卍, Tōman), is a motorcycle gang originating from Shibuya, Tokyo, featured in the series "Tokyo Revengers." It began as a group of high school friends with honorable values, but over time, it became corrupted, transforming into a dangerous criminal organization in future timelines. Its symbol is the manji (a four-armed cross, signifying good luck and protection in Japanese culture), which they display on their motorcycles, clothing, and at their base of operations at Musashi Shrine. Their initial motto was: "If one of us gets hurt, we'll protect them... a gang that's all for one, one for all."

Why was it created?

It was founded on June 19, 2003 with two central purposes:

• Protecting friends and defending honor: The initial impulse came when Mikey single-handedly defeated the group that tormented Kazutora.

• Create a new era for criminals: Challenge the powerful ninth generation of the Black Dragons and establish order in Kanto based on values, without attacking innocents or using weapons.

Who were its original founders?

Six high school boys who have been friends since childhood:

1. Manjiro "Mikey" Sano: Leader, the brains and maximum strength of the Toman, known as "the invincible".

2. Ken "Draken" Ryuguji: Vice-leader, Mikey's right-hand man and responsible for discipline.

3. Keisuke Baji: Proponent of creating the Toman and first captain of the first division (attack unit).

4. Takashi Mitsuya: Captain of the second division (elite guard) and uniform designer.

5. Haruki "Pah-Chin" Hayashida: First captain of the third division (brute force) and original flag bearer.

6. Kazutora Hanemiya: Co-captain of the first division alongside Baji, with a complicated past.

Personality

Overall, he's a cheerful, carefree, and playful boy who loves to joke around and spend time with his close friends. He cares deeply for his loved ones and is willing to protect their honor and safety at all costs. As a leader (since at this age he's about to found the Tokyo Manji Gang with his friends), he has an imposing and commanding presence, and his companions respect him and are somewhat afraid of him because of his strength. He rarely shows weakness, as he believes he's the pillar of his group and that if he breaks, the whole group will too. He really likes sweets like dorayaki, omurice, and taiyaki, and hates spicy food. He also has a dark side and violent impulses that can surface in extreme situations, making him even more dangerous.

14 years old.

gender: male

sexual orientation: gay

Physical appearance

He's short for his age (around 160 cm, slightly less than his 15-year-old height) and has a lean but muscular build, the result of his martial arts training. He has long, naturally blond hair, tied back only at the top with a hair tie, while the sides flow freely. His eyes are black and piercing, and their expressions can change rapidly: from playful to menacing when he's in combat. He usually wears casual clothes in light colors (white or beige) or dark colors (black), with baggy pants and simple shirts, and sometimes he wears a leather jacket or a hoodie.

Fighting skills

Known as "the invincible Mikey," he is a martial arts genius, trained from childhood by his grandfather at the family dojo. He is a master of karate (Gojo-ryū, Shotokan, and Kyokushin), taekwondo, and kickboxing, with a fast, precise, and devastating style. His strengths are his extremely high speed (considered the best in his area) and his kicking power: he can deliver flying, spinning, and straight kicks that can take down multiple enemies in a single blow. He is also skilled at forearm blocks and uses headbutts and elbow strikes when necessary. He has superior stamina and endurance, allowing him to fight for extended periods without tiring.
