He likes to provoke others and shamelessly goes to dirty tricks to win. Despite the cruelty, he is quite sincerely worried about his friend Kanuma.

He usually wears the standard uniform of the Furin School: an unbuttoned green gakuran jacket with a simple gray T-shirt underneath, dark green pants, and black and white sneakers. Due to his very high height for a first-year student, he stands out noticeably among his peers. At
first glance, Kyotaro appears to be a slow, apathetic, and sullen guy with a serious expression on his face. But there is one glaring exception: he has an almost fanatical adoration and devotion to Bofurin leader Hajima Umemiya. He respectfully addresses him as "Ummia-san." Any manifestation of disrespect for Umemiya instantly awakens aggression in Sugishita - he becomes extremely defensive and aggressive, and only the personal intervention of the leader himself can calm him down. For this, he is sometimes called a "fanatic". At the same time, deep down, Kyotaro is kind. He simply has difficulty understanding his own feelings and does not know how to express thoughts well, especially in conversation with others. Haruki Sakura. A strong rivalry immediately arises between them: when Sakura declares that he has come to occupy the top of the school, Sugishita is drawn into a confrontation. Despite this, they sometimes act as partners in battle.
Hajime Umemiya. As already mentioned, Kyotaro is unconditionally loyal to the leader of Bofurin. Sugishita is officially recognized as one of the top five first-year Furin students (along with Sakura, Suo, Mitsuki Kiryu, and Taiga Tsugeura).

Within the team, he acts as a reliable facilitator, relaying information between members and helping maintain communication. However, online or on social media, he becomes much more talkative.

This created a defense mechanism: he became withdrawn, began acting defiantly, and started getting into fights to keep people at a distance. At the same time, he has clear moral boundaries: he doesn't hit the weak, doesn't abuse power, and doesn't use his reputation to intimidate. He also has other sides: he can speak harshly, but outside of conflict, he prefers to keep to himself. He has a hard time accepting kindness, praise, or affection from others—any such expression instantly embarrasses him. Social awkwardness: he has difficulty building relationships, is afraid of deep connections, and lacks self-confidence outside of combat skills.

This allowed him to begin to accept and appreciate himself. In high school, because of his unusual appearance, he was often harassed by classmates. One day, a group of boys tried to cut his hair, but he fought back. Later, Hajime Umemiya intervened in the situation: he knocked out the last attacker and showed sincere interest.

They have a very warm, almost familial relationship: Umemiya calls Kotoha her younger sister and is very protective of her. As a child, Kotoha had serious trust issues. This is due to trauma: her mother made false promises to become a better parent, but never fulfilled them. This made Kotoha cynical. She could flare up emotionally: she hit herself on the head in despair, screamed.

of Kotoha is a cheerful girl who shows amazing maturity for her age. At the same time, she can be desperately independent: for example, when boys harass her on the street, she coldly chases them away and threatens to "throw eggs" at them if they persist. At times, she can seem cold, telling Haruka Sakura bluntly that he couldn't become a leader because he was left to his own devices. At the same time, there is a lot of playfulness and expressiveness in it. She appreciates sincere, equal relationships and does not like to be too snubbled around or treated like a fragile person.

Akihiko is an emotional, sociable, and cheerful guy. He is distinguished by his sincerity and a certain clumsiness. However, in moments of danger, his personality changes dramatically: he begins to panic, get nervous, and even try to run away. This is largely due to his past experience of bullying and his lack of combat skills. At the same time, he feels a deep sense of duty and sincerely wants to help his friends and protect his hometown. Throughout his middle school years, Akihiko was constantly bullied by local bullies. Everything changed when he was saved by a Furin High School student. Inspired by this story, Nirei decided to enroll at Furin. He realized he couldn't fight, but he wanted to be a useful member of society and protect the weak. So he started his famous notebook and began collecting information on strong fighters to become the "eyes and ears" of Bofurin.

a leather bandage that covers his right eye (he may jokingly claim that a Chinese dragon is "sealed" there); long tassel earrings of yellow color, suspended from red coral; Suo is a man of mystery. He almost always maintains a calm smile and does not show negative emotions such as irritation or fear. Because of this, it is difficult for others to understand his true thoughts. He has impeccable manners that can be called aristocratic. At the same time, he has a sense of humor: He is analytical: he carefully studies situations before reacting, and tries to act fairly. Suo has a knack for crafting trust, sometimes subtly extracting information from people or forcing them to do favors. This sometimes frightens his friends. At critical moments, when the weak or friends are offended, his mask of calm falls off: he shows ruthlessness and readiness to protect those who are weaker. Hayato practices traditional oriental martial arts. His style is unique: he fundamentally does not clench his fingers into fists, striking exclusively with open palms. The movements are smooth and graceful, they resemble kung fu defensive techniques based on the redirection of the opponent's aggression and inertia.

His signature accessories are massive over-ear headphones around his neck and a lollipop in his mouth. Personality and Traits
In normal situations, Ren appears quiet and aloof—at general meetings, he often prefers to remain silent, letting his assistants (vice-captains) do the talking. But he's easily irritated, especially when the candy runs out. At such moments, the calm mask slips, and his true, explosive, and aggressive nature emerges.
Windbreaker Ren is highly sensitive to mockery and provocation from his enemies. Losing control, he falls into a blind rage and viciously attacks whoever angered him. Because of this trait, he suffered from deep self-loathing as a child and consciously kept away from people, afraid of harming them. A turning point came when Toma Hiiragi (one of the respected figures in Bofurin) gave him headphones. Thanks to them, Ren learned to tune out others' negativity and focus. The lollipop became a kind of barrier, preventing him from expressing his anger verbally. Despite his temper issues, Kaji strives to be a reliable leader for his class. He knows his weaknesses and is always willing to trust his assistants. Later, Ren also reveals himself as a wise mentor. For example, he initially becomes irritated by Haruka Sakura's indecisiveness when he struggles to accept the position of first-year class representative, and even tries to make the decision for him. But later, Ren admits that he's been in a similar situation himself.

Makochi. It's a classic provincial town with lively shopping districts, narrow residential streets, and plenty of traditional Japanese shops. Description of the city
For a long time, Makochi suffered from raids by visiting gangs and street robbers, which is why merchants and civilians lived in constant fear. That changed when the students of Furin High School united in the Bofurin Organization and took on the defense of the city. Thanks to this, a special atmosphere has developed in Makochi: the locals sincerely respect and love the defenders, warmly welcome them during patrols and take care of them in return. The key locations of the city are:

Café Potos is a small, cozy place in the shopping district, often serving as a gathering point for first-year students. Border between the territories of Shishitoren and Bofurin
The territory of the city is divided between two teenage groups - Bofurin and Shishitoren. The border between their zones of influence runs along a railway crossing. Bofurin positions himself as the defenders of the city, uniting the students of the Furin School. The name can be interpreted as "wind destroyer" (from "furin" - Japanese wind bell). The Shishitoren are described as a group that fights more to seek strength than to protect anyone. The name translates as "Red Tower" and symbolizes the cruelty of the methods. Former graduates of the Furin School, disappointed in Bofurin's education system, join its ranks.
