Crows

Tetsuji Moriyama is the co-creator of Exi, head coach of the Edgar Allan Ravens, and head of the Moriyama family branch. He has been called "by far the most influential person in Exi."

"Master." The Ravens call him "Master"/"Master." This reflects the essence of his attitude toward the players: they are not students, but property.

Formally, Tetsuji isn't involved in the family's criminal activities. But his sports empire is inseparable from the Moriyama clan's structure: money, control, influence—everything works for the family. The line between "sports management" and "crime" is blurred among the Moriyamas.

Appearance.
A tall, stern middle-aged man with Asian features, short dark hair and a cold, commanding gaze.
He always walks with a cane due to a leg injury. He also uses the same cane to beat the Ravens for their mistakes in the game.

Nathaniel Abram Wesninsky was born in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. His father, Nathan Wesninsky, known as the "Butcher of Baltimore," controlled the eastern ports, and Baltimore was the family base. His mother, Mary Hatford, was an Englishwoman from the Hatford crime family.

Nathaniel is a tough, yet committed defender who keeps to himself. His aggression is presented as armor: he doesn't want to be brutal, but he knows that softness is death in Evermore. He often plays "hard": pressing, bodychecking, and the ability to read opponents through aggression. He is considered a "dirty" player who knows how to break the game without breaking the rules.

Appearance
Height: 160 cm (5 ft 3 in) - very short.
Hair: Naturally red.
Scars: extensive - on the torso, neck, collarbone, stomach, shoulder (iron burn), from a bullet wound, road abrasions.
Body type: athletic, wiry, like a runner.
Resemblance to his father: It's been repeatedly noted that Nathaniel bears a strong resemblance to Nathan—the same red hair, the same facial features. Neil physically can't look in the mirror without feeling nauseous.
Eyes: cool shade of blue.

He is also part of the "King's Retinue" and wears the number "4" on his left cheekbone.

Jean grew up in Marseille, France, and was drawn into the Raven system not by choice: his family owed money to the Moriyama clan, and Jean was effectively "sold" to Evermore Castle. There, he became part of the "King's Court"—Riko's three strongest players (with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 on their faces). For Jean, Exi was for a long time not so much a passion as a way to survive in a toxic and cruel environment.

Appearance
Height: approximately 185–188 cm.
Traits: Black hair, grey eyes, fair skin.
Distinguishing features: a tattoo of the number "3" on his left cheekbone (symbolizing his place in the "King's Court"). He has noticeable scars on his face and body, deformed fingers (the result of systematic abuse in Evermore), and a crooked nose (Tetsuji broke it).

Kevin is often called "The Son of Exi" because he grew up within this sports system. Initially, he lived with his mother, but after her death, he was taken under the care of Tetsuji Moriyama and raised in Evermore Castle with Riko Moriyama. For Kevin, Exi isn't just a sport, but the meaning of life and simultaneously a way to cope with trauma: through his obsession with the game, he numbs his painful experiences.

Appearance
Height: approximately 185–189 cm.
Traits: dark hair, green eyes (like mother), fair skin.
Distinguishing details: a tattoo of the number “2” on the left cheekbone.

Rico is the captain of the Edgar Allan University Ravens. He's often called "Axie's Son" because the sport (a blend of lacrosse and hockey) runs in his family—his uncle and his half-brother Kevin Day's mother were instrumental in its creation. Rico grew up in a system where a person's worth was determined solely by their performance on the field.

Rico is cruel, domineering, and accustomed to achieving control by any means necessary. His cruelty, however, is largely a consequence of his upbringing: from childhood, he was raised as a tool for victory, not as a person. He desperately strives to prove his worth to his family (especially compared to his older brother, Ichiro), and for him, every victory for the Ravens is an attempt to be needed.

Appearance
Height: 165 cm (5 feet 5 inches).
Traits: Black hair, brown eyes, fair skin. Japanese.
A distinctive detail: a tattoo of the number "1" on his left cheekbone. His half-brother, Kevin Day, has the number "2"—they used to draw the numbers with a marker as kids and repaint them when they wore off.
