[edit] Major Characters
[edit] Joukyuu Kunitoshi
Despite his seemingly normal appearance, Kunitoshi is actually a martial-arts prodigy. He specializes in Aikido and possesses extensive knowledge of many other fighting-styles. His father, believing Kunitoshi had grown complacent due to his natural talent, drugged his son and dislocated every joint in his body, effectively cutting his power by over 50%. Since that time, Kunitoshi has avoided battle and instead spends his time seducing random women. Though generally a cool and level-headed, when angered Kunitoshi displays a darker, brutal side.
[edit] Kizuki
Being the granddaughter of Juuzenji High's director, Kizuki retains a considerably high standing within the school. A formidable fighter in her own right, she is able to throw opponents many times her size with relative ease. Though usually calm and collected, Kizuki enthusiastically jumps at the chance to improve her skills. She is currently under the tutilage of the reluctant Kunitoshi.
[edit] Homei & Metara
Homei and Metara are teachers at Juuzenji High, but also serve as loyal subordiantes to Kizuki (whom they affectional refer to as Mistress). Homei specializes in grappling while Metara prefers to use fire-arms (specifially a pair of six-shooter air guns with a .45 modified calibur said to possess the destructive capabilities of a baseball pitched at 150km/h).
[edit] Miu Takatori
As the daughter of the school principal, Takatori holds commands a substantial amount of power inside Juuzenji High. Thought by many to be the school's top fighter, she not only controls the Ten Knights, but many of the clubs and organizations on campus. Though not a malicious person by nature, Takatori's ambition and selfishness often put her at odds with Kizuki, her primary opposition. Despite their blood relation, Takatori is imfatuated with her cousin, Kunitoshi, never missing an opportunity to seduce him.
[edit] Akemi Kageyasu
Formerly a student of Kunitoshi, Kageyasu now attends Ryoubu University. She is an extremely skilled fighter, able to fend off Takatori's attacks with little effort.
[edit] Minor Characters
[edit] Ten Knights
The Ten Knights are an essembly of enforcers that serve the top fighter at Juuzenji High. The organization itself is loosely knit with the members caring little for the well-being of their comrades.
[edit] Kosuke
Kosuke is actually the captain of the Ten Knights though his appearance cause many to mistake him for a child. While not a very skilled fighter, his "reading" ability allows him to anticipate his opponent's next move through their facial expressions. In spite of his status, the Ten Knight's captain is noted for being a coward with little interest in combat and frequently calls his older brother for back-up. Kosuke spends most of his time on the Juuzenji High rooftop eating ramen.
[edit] Nancy Ozeki & Santana Ryogoku
Hailing from the school Wrestling Team, these two work exclusively as a team. Their most notable technique is a joint attack the Ground Tornado: by scurrying around their opponent in a circle, they are able to stir up strong winds.
[edit] Kiku Keichou & Chie Ouei
Though currently new members of the Kickboxing and Karate Clubs respectively, Kiku and Chie's experience in gymnastics make them experts in mid-air combat. Between Kiku's punching techniques and Chie's kicks, their combined strengths make them a formidable duo.
[edit] Akifumi Wado
Wado, one of the few male students at Juuzenji High, is a member of the Swordfighting club and a practitioner of the Katori Shinto Style. To maximize the speed of his swing, he uses a titanium katana instead of standard steel.
[edit] Eishou
Eishou, the only member of the Sumo Club, can generally be found in the company of Kangen and two unnamed female fighters. Like Kangen, Eishou has no sense of honor and views the other Ten Knights as little more than tools. His cruel outlook, hot temper and 70kg girth make him a particularly dangerous opponent.
[edit] Kangen
Though generally seen with Eishou's group, Kangen often acts independently of the Ten Knights, especially when doing so can further his own goals. A prominent member of the Ninjutsu Club, Kangan prefers to fight from a distance with kunai. Despite his skill and agility, he is not above employing underhanded tactics. He has a tendency to be vulgar.
[edit] Unnamed Members
The two remaining members of the ten nights have yet to be named and are usually only seen alongside Eishou and Kangen.
