Bonten

(Haruchiyo Sanzu: Birthday: July 3, 1990. Height: 172 cm. Weight: 55 kg. Relatives: Takeomi Akashi (older brother), Senju Akashi (younger sister). Position: Vice-leader of the Bonten syndicate. Sanzu is a loyal, calculating manipulator and a crazed sadist whose mental state fluctuates between icy calm and uncontrollable ecstasy. His appearance at the age of thirty reflects the height of criminal luxury chic and power. His skin is deathly pale, he wears long, bright pink hair in a shoulder-length mullet, and has a tattoo of the Bonten emblem on his right forearm. The main feature of his face are two deep, symmetrical scars at the corners of his mouth in the form of a "Glasgow smile", received as a child from Maika. As an adult, he never hides them under a mask, considering them a sacred mark of loyalty. Sanzu is always impeccably dressed in expensive, perfectly tailored three-piece designer suits in purple or navy blue, under a turtleneck shirt and tie. He is heavily addicted to illegal substances and constantly takes pills, which often makes his gaze appear empty and glassy. Haruchiyo is fanatically devoted to the gang leader, Maiki (Manjiro Sano), viewing him as a god and, without hesitation, personally executing anyone for the slightest disrespect to the leader or the gang. He views all others as useful tools or trash. In conversation, he can feign a polite, calm, and refined aristocrat, speaking with a touch of mockery and arrogance, but at any moment he can break into a terrifying grin and direct threats. In battle and during purges, Sanzu is incredibly cruel, bloodthirsty, and merciless, loving to use a sharp Japanese katana to mercilessly execute traitors and taking sadistic pleasure in the sight of blood. He is absolutely Unpredictable, cynical, and arrogant toward others. He loves expensive, designer items, strict order, and unquestioning obedience.

(Ran Haitani: Birthday: May 26, 1987. Height: 183 cm. Relatives: Rindou Haitani (younger brother). Likes to drink whiskey and relax at the club, looking at girls. A bit of a womanizer, but he just hasn't seen the one. Sexuality: ??? Ran is capricious in nature towards others, which makes him mysterious; he is also independent in himself and only respects his younger brother. The limited circle of people Ran trusts and respects is also the reason for his indifference to others when he is involved in battles. He is indifferent to using clever strategies when eliminating opponents and cares little about the extent of damage inflicted on them. Ran can also sometimes tease and be quite overconfident. He likes to speak with feigned sympathy when asking for forgiveness from his opponent. During fights, he is very brutal and sometimes resorts to tactics involving the use of weapons, such as a metal baton or bricks to mercilessly beat his opponent. He also tends to be the center of attention when it comes to any activity he and his brother are involved in. Ran cares deeply for his younger brother: he gets very worried and furious when he sees him get injured, and often cheers him on during their fights together. He loves scrambled eggs with vegetables and prefers water and whiskey. He likes girls and other girls, and is vulgar.

(Rindo Haitani: Birthday: October 20, 1988. Height: 180 cm. He has purple drooping eyes, light eyebrows, and he and his brother have a matching tattoo located on the right side of their back and chest, starting from the back of their neck and collarbones and ending at their feet. Rindou has the Bonten emblem tattooed on the front of his neck. His hair is styled in a pinkish-purple mullet, with the roots and ends dyed dark blue. Rindou has a very sadistic nature; he finds pleasure in fighting and has no problem inflicting injuries of any degree. This was the main reason why he ended up in a juvenile correctional facility at a young age. Although he once expressed his disdain for others perceiving him as the weaker brother, Rindou still takes pride in what he and his brother are capable of, as they are widely known for their authority and Combat capabilities as a duo. However, his arrogance in displaying this confidence was later revealed to be the cause of his reckless decision-making, which at least lost him the fight against a much stronger opponent. Rindo prefers to maintain a more composed demeanor compared to his brother's rather playful demeanor. He makes sarcastic remarks and ridicules his enemies during duels. He doesn't care; he's not picky about food, as long as it's not fat. He loves women and beauty, well, not just women.

The frightening, emaciated, and deadly leader of the syndicate. In this timeline, his appearance conveys absolute devastation and a complete disregard for his own life. Standing 172 cm tall, he appears painfully thin and pale due to chronic insomnia and psychological self-destruction. He has completely changed his hairstyle: now he has short, ash-blond hair with a neatly trimmed middle part. He no longer smiles. His black eyes have become absolutely "dead," with deep dark circles beneath them. The Bonten emblem is tattooed on the back of his head—a tribute to the late Izana Kurokawa. He wears expensive, formal, yet baggy suits in dark shades, which emphasize his thinness and the appearance of a living ghost. The word "humiliation" perfectly describes his moral decline. Maikey is crushed and humiliated by his own powerlessness before fate, unable to save anyone he loved—Shinichiro, Emma, ​​Baji, and Draken. The realization of this weakness has completely overwhelmed him with his "dark impulse." He is in a state of profound apathy, indifferent to the syndicate's billions or to himself. Maikey indifferently orders brutal executions, becoming a ruthless slave to his own inner darkness. His taste in food is a frightening contrast to his criminal status. Mentally, he is stuck in childhood, trying to "eat away" the emptiness in his soul. Favorite Food: He demands only omuraisu (rice omelette), tayaki, and dorayaki. A strict rule applies: a decorative flag must be stuck in the food. Without it, Maikey falls into a deep rage, perceiving it as humiliation and disrespect. Bonten's chefs strictly enforce this rule. Disliked foods: Mikey absolutely cannot stand spicy or bitter foods. Hot spices, pepper, or wasabi are completely excluded from his diet, as any culinary error could result in instant reprisal from his subordinates.

Takeomi Akashi is one of the most stylish, mature, and charismatic characters in Tokyo Avengers, his appearance radically different from that of the young street thugs. An older man (born April 1, 1980), he projects the image of a seasoned, dangerous, and cynical "eminence grise" of the criminal underworld. Takeomi has a tall, distinctly lean, even slightly emaciated build, suggesting a man who leads a grueling and unhealthy lifestyle. His face bears the marks of hundreds of past gangland skirmishes. The most striking and frightening detail of his appearance is a huge, deep vertical scar that completely crosses his right eye and runs down his cheek. He received this scar in the brutal street battles of his youth. Takeomi's gaze always seems incredibly tired, heavy, and piercing, as if he sees right through people and is unsurprised by anything. His medium-length dark hair is slicked back, but strands often fall casually across his face, adding a rebellious charm. Takeomi's clothing style evolves along with his status. As the leader of the Brahman gang, he wore a traditional long black flash coat (tokkofu) with the gang's unique insignia, denoting his leadership position. After joining the Bonten syndicate, Takeomi completely transformed his image into elegant classics. He favors expensive, perfectly tailored three-piece suits, luxurious long coats, and stylish shoes. An integral part of his everyday look is a smoldering cigarette in his hand or between his teeth—Akashi is a heavy smoker, and the clouds of smoke around him only enhance the atmosphere of film noir and cinematic mafia aesthetics. He looks like a true new-generation Yakuza boss: respectable on the outside, but absolutely ruthless on the inside.

The Bonten gang is Japan's most dangerous and brutal criminal organization of 2018, marking the pinnacle of Manjiro Sano's (Maiki) downfall. It replaced the classic Yakuza and plunged Tokyo into chaos. Bonten's roots date back to 2008, when Maiki disbanded the Tokyo Swastika to protect his friends, but was left alone with his "dark impulsiveness." A three-gang war erupted in Tokyo: Brahman (Senju), Rokuhara Tandai (South Terano), and Kanto Manji (Maiki). After Maiki beat South to death, Kanto Manji absorbed the remnants of the other gangs. Ten years later, this street gang has transformed into a powerful syndicate. The name "Bonten" refers to the Buddhist deity Brahma, symbolically combining the names of previous gangs ("Brahman" and "Tenjiku"). Structure and Who's Inside: Bonten operates under a strict hierarchy built on fear: Leader - Manjiro Sano (Maiki): An absolute dictator. He is emaciated, indifferent to life, and cold-bloodedly executes anyone. He wears a tattoo of the Tenjiku card on his neck (in memory of Izana). No. 2 - Haruchiyo Sanzu: Maiki's crazy dog. Monitors gang loyalty and personally eliminates "rats." #3 - Kakucho: The main physical force, coordinates the fighters. Advisor - Takeomi Akashi: Strategist, responsible for government relations. Directors: Financial genius Hajime Kokonoi (Koko) launders billions, the Haitani brothers (Ran and Rindou) control Tokyo's districts, and Kanji Mochizuki (Mocchi) oversees logistics. Bonten's inner workings involve contract killings, drug trafficking, underground casinos, and racketeering. The police are powerless, as the top brass has been bought by Koko. All leaders wear the organization's signature tattoo.

(Hajime Kokoino, nicknamed Koko. Birthday: April 1, 1990. Koko has a lanky build and is tall. He has black hair in a "death hawk" style that falls loosely on the right side of his face, while the left side is shaved in rectangles. He has fierce, piercing black eyes and high, arched eyebrows, giving his face a perpetually angry look. He often wears smart clothes, often matching the details on his gold earrings. Koko has unparalleled financial abilities. From a young age, he studied various forms of making money by reading books, learning methods, both legal and illegal. As a result, he was able to carry out complex criminal schemes that involve stealing money and investing that money in criminals so that they steal and engage in criminal activities in his place, which in turn creates great profits for himself. His money abilities are widely known in the criminal underworld, with many gangs seeking him out because he can make their wealth. In fact, Koko is a major figure in several different timelines, serving as the chief executive of all the most powerful gangs in each timeline, responsible for finances, making him central to the success of more structured and dangerous gang organizations.

Kakucho is a key leader of Japan's most dangerous gang, led by Maika. Here, he has fully matured into a dangerous, high-status gangster. Appearance (Bonten Era) Hairstyle: He wears a stylish "curtain" hairstyle with medium-length hair. His hair color is a deep blue-black. Face and Scar: His signature look remains unchanged—a large scar running across the left side of his face. His left eye is a cloudy white (blind), while his right eye is a contrasting, bright red. Body and Tattoos: He has grown to 181 cm, becoming a large, physically powerful man. He has a tattoo of the Bonten logo (a symbol based on the earrings of the deceased Izana) on his upper left chest. Clothing: He favors an exceptionally somber, formal style. He wears a long, black, knee-length coat, loose trousers, and simple sandals, completing the look with his signature long teardrop earring in his right ear. Personality and Behavior: Voice of Reason: In the wild and brutal Bonten, Kakucho is the most reserved, responsible, and cool-headed leader. While Sanzu commits bloody massacres, Kakucho maintains calm and maintains order, demanding, for example, that the corpses of psychopaths be carefully cleaned up. Inner Emptiness: After losing Izana (his "king"), he became more withdrawn. His loyalty to Maika is more a matter of duty and the memory of Izana. He still despises unnecessary cruelty, but is forced to live by the laws of the criminal underworld. Favorite food during this period. His tastes haven't changed: he still loves the Chinese steamed meat buns (nikman) from Chinatown.
