Takayanagi Mitsuomi | From Tenjyou Tenge Volume 3 高柳 光臣 Special Abilities: Mitsuomi has an increased metabolism that allows him superhuman feats of strength and endurance for three minutes.

Family: Names are unknown, but his family runs a rice shop that Bunshichi sometimes works at. About Bunshichi: Bunshichi is extremly laid back and hates beeing hurt or having to do exausting work.

(No image) | Narration | From Tenjyou Tenge Volume 1 General Narration text, used when the character is clearly not one of the principal actors, but instead information intended for the reader from the author. | 252 | Volume 01 Page 001 | Volume 1 Volume 2 Volume 3 Volume 7 Volume 9 Volume 10 Volume 11 Volume 12 Volume 13 Volume 14 Volume 15 Volume 16 Volume 17 Volume 18 Volume 19 Volume 20 Volume 21 |
Natsume Shin | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 4 棗 真 Fighting style: Natsume Goshin-ryu Special Abilities: The Dragon's Eye. The Dragon's Eye allows Shin to basically understand the flow of all "ki" around him, and to predict the future based on that. It seems to be best for the short term, allowing superhuman fighting ability as he can sense an opponent's moves well before they would normally be apparent. Longer-term prognastication is apparently possible as well, although it might only be confied to seeing flashes of future ominous events. Age: 17 (18?) at death Girlfriend: Kuzunoha Mana Family: Younger sisters Natsume Maya and Aya About Shin: Shin was a dark person from the point he touched the ceremonial sword Reiki for the first time and his Dragon Eye ability awoke. Shin was always ripped apart betwen his deep love for his sister Maya and his concern about his friends at Toudou Gakuen. (Contributions by Dark_Harlequin) Oh! Great speaks: (From TJTG UJ Special.) He was supposed to be a character that would tell the tale of, and in some way explain, the Dragon's Eye power that Aya now has, but became a more human character through the creation process. While I was thinking of what sort of mind-set a person that has seen his own death would have, he made me thing again about how I viewed those things with the though: "Wouldn't anyone, in the end, forget that everyone has to die, and just try to keep on living?" | 151 | Volume 04 Page 192 | Volume 4 Volume 5 Volume 6 Volume 7 Volume 9 Volume 11 Volume 13 Volume 20 Volume 21 | |
Isuzu Emi | From Tenjyou Tenge Volume 2 五十鈴 エミ Nickname: 'French Bread Head' Fighting style: Throwing knives (special technique: Shadow Blade) plus karate Special abilities: She has an (unnamed) special ability that allows her to shape fat, thus she can turn her actually quite huge body into a slim form, hiding numerous weapons, especially her preffered Anki-throwing knives and handcuffs (but also food and clothes) in the cracks between the molded fat. Because of that ability, she has to consume vast amounts of food to maintain a high percentage of body fat so she can fold it. Positions: Isuzu was the Vice-President of the Enforcement Group until she got abased to some unknown position by Tawara Bunshichi; she also served as a bodyguard and spy for Kuzunoha Mana. Character and traits: Emi is a highly devoted person who never, ever thinks of giving up, even if the odds of winning are bad - she always tries to satisfy her superiors and is badly in love with Takayanagi Mitsuomi since he saved her from Natsume Shin. Unfortunately for her, he does not reply to her affection at all, sometimes reducing her to a mere puppet that does what he wants her to do, while she is always trying to get his attention, without any success. Because of her love to Mitsuomi, she considers Natsume Maya as her rival, even if she cannot beat her in combat. She can get quite menacing when she gets pissed, especially for guys. Not to forget her strong sense of justice and order. Family: father, mother and siblings are unknown; all that can be said is that the Isuzu-family served the Takayanagi-clan for ages Age: 17 (Contributed by Isuzu) Oh! Great speaks: (From TJTG UJ Special.) She's my favorite female character, but also the hardest to draw. It's very hard to get the balance right between her face and those curls. She seems really strict but in actuality she's an extremely devoted person. She's one of the so-called extinct women with the virtues of ancient Japan. She's extremely strict about showing that nice side though. UJ Description: She started as one of Takayanagi's body gaurd, and became the lone flower within the Enforcement Group. She has master the art of the Shadow Blade, and can hide multiple weapons on her body. She protects her slim form by using the powers of her arts to fold fat within her body, but in truth she is ... !? | 145 | Volume 02 Page 083 | Volume 2 Volume 3 Volume 4 Volume 5 Volume 7 Volume 8 Volume 9 Volume 11 Volume 12 Volume 14 Volume 15 Volume 16 Volume 17 Volume 18 Volume 19 Volume 20 Volume 21 Volume 22 | |
Nagi Makiko | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 4 凪 真貴子 Special Abilities: She can use the Dragon's Fist, but it has cost her dearly. She only has one arm, and a patch covers one of her eyes. Family: Nagi Souichirou is her son, and she might have at one time been married to Kago Souhaku Jyouun | 140 | Volume 04 Page 072 | Volume 4 Volume 8 Volume 9 Volume 10 Volume 11 Volume 13 Volume 14 Volume 19 Volume 20 Volume 21 | |
Asshat [Sugano Kagesada] | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 6 菅野 影定 Full name: Sugano Kagesada Nickname: Asshat (In Japanese: クズ男 - so my translation is quite loose) Age: 17 Fighting style: Kickboxing (or so I assume, from the pads he wears). Special Abilities: Satisfying 4 women at once. The Beautiful Flash. Positions: Asshat is a founding is a member of Jyuukenbu Character and traits: Ecchi! The man's a perv, he has multiple girlfriends like Hefner; he's very devoted to Maya for what happend 2 years ago and seems to be very affraid of Mitsuomi after nearly dying as a result of the battle between Mistumi and Shin; Asshat is the Jyuukenbu's weakest fighter and serves no real purpose, aside from filling out ranks. Girlfriends: Suzuran (girl with the spear), Yuugao (Karate girl), Hinagiku (Samurai girl) Nazuna (girl in gym clothes). (Contributed by zangetsu) From Tenjo Tenge Volume 17 In chapter 103 we see a focus on Asshat and his training. In this chapter, he takes on the responsibility of really being a man, and faces up to his fear that has been haunting him ever since the battle between Mitsuomi and Shin two years ago. He has been working hard to try to be able to face up to it again, and sees again that hellish grin when he faces against the Mayutsubo Nokimi controlled Koumikawa. | 129 | Volume 06 Page 147 | Volume 6 Volume 7 Volume 9 Volume 11 Volume 12 Volume 13 Volume 14 Volume 15 Volume 16 Volume 17 Volume 18 Volume 20 Volume 21 Volume 22 | |
Takayanagi Dougen | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 4 高柳 道現 Family: Father of Takayanagi Mitsuomi and Masataka Current position: A standard businessman office worker Description: We don't know much about Dougen at this point. He lives with Masataka in a small apartment. About the Takayanagi family: (From TJTG UJ Special.) The Takayanagi family controls the top of the Japanese Martial Arts world. I don't know the details but it has been this way since ancient times. They say that the heroes of ancient myths and legends were the Takayanagi ancestors, but that is just the prevailing modern interpretation. They are a family of charismatic heroes, and the descendants of the families that came to their aid are the 12 Founding Families. They have been careful to keep their lineage pure since the ancient times so they are the same as back then. For that reason, the Takayangi family and the 12 Founding Families have a sort of counter-measure relationship, and you can say that the Takayanagi family is representative of the 12 Founding Families. But the Takayanagi's fundamentally have stronger abilities due to their direct relationship to the heroes of the past. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 5 When Natsume Shin formally greets Dougen, he calls him "Master Takayanagi Dougen, master of the Gaoukishi clan fighting division". | 123 | Volume 04 Page 074 | Volume 4 Volume 5 Volume 6 Volume 7 Volume 8 Volume 9 Volume 12 Volume 14 Volume 15 Volume 17 Volume 18 Volume 19 Volume 20 Volume 21 | |
Editorial Note | From Tenjyou Tenge Volume 1 I used the "Editorial Note" "Character" early on to put comments in about my translation. Later on, I improved Great Manga Application Onidzuka so that I could put translation notes attached to each translation, and they would appear as footnotes. So this "character" is only used early on. | 102 | Volume 01 Page 001 | Volume 1 Volume 2 Volume 3 Volume 4 Volume 5 Volume 6 Volume 7 Volume 8 Volume 10 | |
Kuzunoha Mana | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 5 葛の葉 まな Special Abilities: She knows a special brand of acupuncture. Particularly, she used 葛葉針術骨還生想(Kuzunoha acupuncture bone realignment technique) Position: She's Shin's girlfriend. Oh! Great speaks: To some degree, I think when a man looks at a woman, they are all super-naturally powerful. She doesn't have anny super powers (unnatural ones) but she was able to predict the exact same future as Shin, who has the Dragon's Eye. In actuality, I think that women really do have this ability, right? | 99 | Volume 05 Page 017 | Volume 5 Volume 6 Volume 7 Volume 8 | |
Kabane Myouun Hirohiko | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 14 A girl that knows a lot about the red feather powers, and spends a lot of time with Shyoujyou Tokuan Mitsuiro. She has Buddhist seals on her body when we first meet her. The Kabane family is supposed to have control over the dead, but we have not seen her do anything special yet. | 96 | Volume 14 Page 145 | Volume 14 Volume 16 Volume 17 Volume 18 Volume 19 Volume 20 | |
Mawari Madoka | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 11 Fighting Style: Madoka is a master of bladed weapons. She fights with swords and knives most often. Madoka is sent by "F" to recover a chip with data on it that Nagi and Aya retrieved from Kyuushyuu with the help of Tsumuji Mataza Yorihira. She gets into a vicious fight with Bob, but fails in her task. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 12 We learn more of Madoka's story, and see that Kago Souhaku Jyouun seems to be controlling her in some way. Madoka's mother and father were killed by Kago, who has been raising her ever since, deluding her into loving him. She joins up with the Jyuukenbu, as a charm that helped bind her to Kago is broken. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 13 Madoka teaches Aya some of her art: the "secret technique of Kodachi Hyoue Hasshin" (Eight Gods Short Sword Soldier Defense.) From Tenjo Tenge Volume 22 Her name in Kanji (doesn't show up in my IME): 圓 円 | 92 | Volume 09 Page 122 | Volume 9 Volume 11 Volume 12 Volume 13 Volume 14 Volume 15 Volume 16 Volume 17 Volume 18 Volume 20 Volume 22 | |
Kurei Shinichirou | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 9 暮井 新一郎 Nickname: Alien (?) Supernatural abilites: Sun-light fist. (Well, Aya says that isn't the sun-light fist on page 198 but...) Current Position: He is the vice captain of the Jyuukenbu and a second year student Age: 16 earth years About Kurei: Kurei is the brains of the Jyuukenbu. He doesn't have any fighting abilities but he is extremly clever and know a lot about computers and other technology. Despite the fact that he look like and alien, and has a habit of sucking on juice drink boxes making misleading alien-like sounds, he is realy a nice guy. (Contributions by Dark_Harlequin) From Tenjo Tenge Volume 10 Kurei makes spectacular use of the "Solar Fist" on page 130. | 83 | Volume 09 Page 139 | Volume 9 Volume 10 Volume 11 Volume 12 Volume 13 Volume 14 Volume 16 Volume 17 Volume 18 Volume 20 Volume 21 Volume 22 | |

Ally and backer of Mitsuomi during his coup d'etat 2 years ago, seem to have had a falling out recently. A preist of some sort (possibly an Onmyou mystic, uses shikigami) , his family has an important position among the 12 families, they have the inheritance of "seirei" (holy or dead spirits). Lost the tips of his fingers on right hand when Masataka broke charm he was contolling Fuchien with. Uses a large sword carried by Tetsuhito. The "Jyouun" in his name is most likely a title of some sort, possibly relating to the Onmyou religion.

Character: Tagami is a true gentleman, and believes in the ideals of the Samurai Warrior. He has a stuttering problem.

When I was asked to do a special on Tenjo Tenge, I was a little sad when my idea of drawing a short story about him was instantly dismissed. Just like Isuzu, he portrays the characteristics of the now extinct Japanese man. UJ Description: A man overflowing with chivarly who calls himself a Bushi (warrior), and wields a staff. Just the opposite of how he looks, he hates cowardly methods, and is very pure. | 66 | Volume 02 Page 068 | Volume 2 Volume 3 Volume 9 Volume 12 Volume 14 Volume 16 Volume 17 Volume 18 Volume 19 Volume 20 Volume 21 Volume 22 | |

However, after the loss of his Dragon he seems to have changed in aperance as well as pesonality. While once a carefree fighter who would jokingly toy with and gloat over his opponet, he now appears cold and ruthless and is obsessed with regaining his lost Dragon gate and punishing those who cospired against him. He is the 2nd strongest member of F and one of the only ones truly devoted to Mitsumi. | 64 | Volume 08 Page 165 | Volume 8 Volume 9 Volume 11 Volume 13 Volume 14 | |

Tsumuji Mataza (F) | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 9 Fighting style: The 8 Spears of the Tsumuji Family Supernatural abilitys: The Dragon Claws. This ability allows him to harden his hands into incredibly strong weapons.

Age: 16 Family: Father Yohira, Mother (name unknown) from the Shyukyou branch of the Kabane family, half brothe Yorimasa About Mataza: Mataza was given back to his father by his mother who did't have the money to raise him (and it is implied that she prostituted herself.) There he was treated so badly by his half brother Yorimasa that he one day freaked out and attacked his half brother Yorimasa. When his father stopped him and broke the spear he was using, a shard of the spear went through his eye puncturing his brain. This injury awakened his power. As Dougen told his father it's a very rare way for a power to awaken but it does happen. Later when Mitsuomi took controll over the Takayanagi house, he badly injured his father, burned the eight traditional spear bearers of the Tsumuji famaly as they refused to serve him and took the remaining eight spear army for himself. Mataza rejects the power of his Dragon's claws early on, and embraces technology, being very technologically adept himself. He controls a backpack that wields mechanical arms hidden under his cloak, giving him control over multiple spears and devastating fighting ability, as well as a spider motif.

Positions: Leader of the Wrestling group, which is not yet an official club. Oh! Great speaks: I really wanted a grappler of some sort. This was right at the time when Brazilian Jyujyutsu was popular but I wanted a different kind of flavor, so I made him a pro-wrestler. You've gotta love this idiotic muscleman.

Associations: Fu Chi'en has been brought to Japan from China by Pei-san, under the auspicies of the Takayanagi corporation. He spends time observing Shin and Mitsuomi. Description: Fu Chi'en comes off as an arrogant, cocky bastard. Oh! Great speaks: Because I didn't have a character to do all the crap-work. His character was planned to show off the raw power of the Dragon's Eye. He ended up doing a lot more than I originally planned, and surprisingly made another appearance. On top of that, Tiger-fist style (Koken) really exists. But it really doesn't have much to do with real tigers. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 6 Fu Chi'en helps to train Takayanagi Mitsuomi at the Takayanagi corporation's facilities with Pei-san's help. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 7 Fu fights with Natsume Shin, after it is implied that Fu's men raped Natsume Maya. Fighting Shin probably wasn't Fu's best move; he lost both of his hands at the wrists... Later, he is shown recuperating at the hospital, and receives some nasty-looking sword prothestics. They don't help much as Natsume Shin comes in and totally kicks his ass again, brutally. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 11 Fu Chi'en's line here is in a short flashback sequence that Natsume Maya is remembering. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 12 This volume marks the appearance of "Zombie Fu" - Fu Chi'en, mostly undead, kept alive by Kago Souhaku Jyouun's power. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 14 Fu Chi'en is also shown to be complicit in Souhaku's early disfigurement of Makiko. | 47 | Volume 05 Page 166 | Volume 5 Volume 6 Volume 7 Volume 11 Volume 12 Volume 14 Volume 19 | |

Inue Noriko Shindayuu | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 14 Inue is overseeing the operation to force "Ki" from Nagi Makiko's dragon into her left eye, and its removal. (In a flashback sequence that Aya sees.) | 39 | Volume 13 Page 037 | Volume 13 Volume 14 Volume 15 Volume 20 | |
Mayutsubo Nokimi | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 17 繭壺の君 Mayatsubo Nokimi is likely a pseudonym or not a real name, but that is how she was introduced, so that is what I will call her until I find something better. (I used "Razor Girl" for a while as well.) I'm not sure if this is the girl with the box cutter from chapter 101, but I think it is. She is also shown as a traditional witch with big nose, warts, and all, but I think that is just an explanatory image of her "witchcraft." Thank you, Oh! Great, for using a more appealing character design. She seemed kind of sad and very disappointed that Koumikawa Hitomi was so "weak" - not a challenge for her - when she fought and defeated her. According to Isuzu Emi, this person is a Magician, one of the 23 people on the list of "People with Unusual Abilities", which I translated as (inaccurately!) "the Red Feather List". In chapter 103, we learn from Tsumuji Mataza (F) that she is from a Souhaku branch family, the Rikudou family (characters mean "six roads") and she is the "57th of the sexagenary cycle" (wtf? A sexagenarian is someone who is from 60-69 years old, but...?) She is supposed to be one of Souhaku's confidants, and her power is "important" to Mitsuomi's plan as well. | 36 | Volume 17 Page 049 | Volume 17 Volume 18 | |
Kagurazaka | From Tenjyou Tenge Volume 3 神楽坂 Fighting Style: Gay Tae Kwon Do Not much is known about Kagurazaka. He's one of Mitsuomi's bodyguards. He speaks and acts very gay. Oh! Great speaks: He uses "gay Tae Kwon Do". I haven't had a good chance to show him off yet, and I probably won't have a good chance from here on out either. My first gay character. After drawing him, I made an acquaintance with a gay man for the first time and came to understand what it means to be gay, and right then I decided I couldn't use him as much. Regrettable... UJ Description: The leader of Mitsuomi's bodyguard, he is (at least for the time being) a man. He doesn't have many places to escape to, and has many ambiguous points but one thing is for sure: he's strong. | 35 | Volume 03 Page 098 | Volume 3 Volume 4 Volume 11 Volume 12 Volume 14 Volume 17 Volume 18 Volume 19 Volume 20 Volume 22 | |
Reiki | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 5 “式刀”零毀 Special Abilities: Reiki is strange; it seems like it induces madness in Shin, and Shin himself says to Maya (on Page 56) that "Reiki ... will suck all of the power out of you. When it does, you will have to confront all of the power that you had face to face. And do you think you will win?" Isuzu Emi tells Natsume earlier on: "If there's even a 1 in a million chance that she's using 'Reiki' then it's way beyond your ability to handle alone" when talking to Maya about Aya. So it seems that Reiki makes one more powerful... It certainly though, is one of the root causes of Shin's madness. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 7 Takayanagi Dougen says about Reiki (Page 59): 'This damn evil Katana. It's shaking from excitement because its Master has "woken up"' Fu Chi'en chimes in about Reiki as well (Page 61): 'Look at this ... When was it ... That unctious guy ... Tawara-kun I think. He said that if Shin didn't have that Katana that his skills were second-rate but ... He was wrong. Once it is starts, his "power" becomes so strong that he isn't able to suppress it without "Reiki" ... Back then, Shin didn't want the Katana so he could win. He was afraid that he would kill Shin and the others around him in rage ...' From Tenjo Tenge Volume 8 Aya takes Reiki, and gets into an argument with Maya over it. It seems like Reiki enables the Dragon's Eye in Aya: on Page 142 she says '... If I only had Reiki ... If I could only use the Dragon's Eye ... I would win', talking about the fight she had with her sister. | 33 | Volume 05 Page 047 | Volume 5 Volume 6 Volume 7 Volume 8 Volume 11 Volume 14 Volume 16 Volume 18 | |
[Ancient Arc] Aya | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 15 Natsume Aya's ancestor in the Ancient Arc. She seems mean. She has control of the Dragon's Pupil, which makes people see illusions with the help of bugs and moths. This might be before the Dragon's Eye power split off from the Dragon's pupil. She really doesn't like [Ancient Arc] Nagi Ichiyou Kengo, and seems to have a very mean streak herself. | 32 | Volume 15 Page 061 | Volume 15 Volume 16 | |
[Ancient Arc] Ono Jirou Emon Tadaaki | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 15 One of the main characters in chapters 89 and 90, a swordsman that sings a lot. He is involved with Aya, although he does not know that she is Natsume Aya. In chapter 90, he is killed by the 12 Founding Families, and it looks like his appearance is assumed by Shyoujyou. Also, a real historical figure. | 31 | Volume 15 Page 070 | Volume 15 | |
Girl | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 4 A generic character for an unknown young female speaker. In this instance, a bunch of school girls are trying to get Masataka's attention, and they appear to be quite smitten by him. He seems (strangely) oblivious to it... | 29 | Volume 04 Page 078 | Volume 4 Volume 5 Volume 7 Volume 9 Volume 15 Volume 16 Volume 17 | |
Enmi Enma | 25 | Volume 09 Page 177 | Volume 9 Volume 10 Volume 11 | ||
Kabuto Katsuyoshi (F) | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 11 Name: Katsumi Kabuto from the Ultra Jump special. Katsuyoshi was mentioned once in the manga. Fighting style: ??? (unknown, but the Kabuto family is known as the family that oversees and commands the 6 other white feather families in battle.) Supernatural Abilities: ??? (unknown) Current position: He is a member of F, school grade and family position is unknown at this moment Age: ??? (unknown) About Kabuto: Not much is known about this mysterious member of F. He seems to be the leader behind many actions of F and he seems to avoid open combat which is why his abilitys and fighting style are not known. He orders the other members of F around, but is clearly afraid of Souhaku. He runs from Souhaku after leting him down by not being able to retrieve the Enmi family data chip. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 13 Kabuto is tracked down by Ishiyumi, who viciously beats him, possibly killing him. | 25 | Volume 11 Page 016 | Volume 11 Volume 12 Volume 13 | |
Kamura Shidzuru | 24 | Volume 13 Page 074 | Volume 13 Volume 14 | ||
Shyoujyou Tokuan Mitsuiro | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 14 A tall girl who apparently has large breasts - bigger than Aya according to Kabane Myouun Hirohiko. She hates being called Shyoujyou (Orangutang), and especially hates it when Kabane Myouun Hirohiko calls her that. She was carrying a long pole-type object in what looked like a pool-stick carrying case when we first see her. Her powers are currently unknown. | 23 | Volume 14 Page 145 | Volume 14 Volume 16 Volume 18 Volume 19 Volume 20 | |
Enmi Mouki | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 9 Special Abilities: Has the ability to induce hallucinations in others via the poison from the wings of a certain type of moth. This is an Enmi family ability. UJ Description: This young boy who suddenly appeared at the Natsume residence is the heir of the Natsume branch family, Enmi, Mouki. Souichirou and Aya's anger explodes at the way that Mitsuomi aims to rule over weaker people! | 22 | Volume 09 Page 177 | Volume 9 Volume 10 Volume 11 | |
[Ancient Arc] Kabane Myouun | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 15 Myouun appears along with Shyoujyou and Natsume Aya in the ancient arc as a dead priest. | 22 | Volume 15 Page 082 | Volume 15 | |
Ryuzaki Tsutomu | From Tenjyou Tenge Volume 1 竜崎 務 Positions: A peon in the lower-levels of the Enforcement Group. Associated Ki Element: Fire. Oh! Great speaks: His direction has also changed 2 or 3 times since serialization started, but he's an important initial planned character. Being a flame elemental user would normally be on par with the main characters but, I feel like it was kind of a waste to give this power to him. UJ Description: He originally never agreed with the Enforcement Group doctrine. He doesn't choose a method for the goal, but just enjoys the method itself. He fights using spirit- based flame. From Tenjo Tenge Volume 4 Ryuzaki has a very funny comic relief appearance, while convalescing in the hospital. CMX is going to really have to pull out their censors for this one. | 21 | Volume 01 Page 104 | Volume 1 Volume 2 Volume 4 | |
Hotaru | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 9 About the Hotaru family: Using the Dragon's Palm, the Hotaru family is able to heal any sort of injury. They do not fight in any battles. | 20 | Volume 09 Page 010 | Volume 9 Volume 12 Volume 18 Volume 22 | |
[Ancient Arc] Shyoujyou | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 15 One of the 12 Founding Families in the Red Feathers. Looks like he can assume the appearance of anyone, although possibly he has to have their head to do it. He first shows up as Sakuma Zenki, then takes on the form of Ono Jirou Emon Tadaaki. | 19 | Volume 15 Page 088 | Volume 15 Volume 16 | |
Master Toudou | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 4 藤堂範士 A teacher at Toudou Gakuen - quite a surprise when Bob and Nagi first saw him. They didn't even know there were teachers at the school... He is on very friendly terms with Natsume Maya, and tries to support her when possible. | 18 | Volume 04 Page 081 | Volume 4 Volume 6 Volume 7 Volume 17 Volume 22 | |
Taxi Driver | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 5 Special Abilities: He is always there when a Tenjo Tenge character needs a taxi (due to his bad luck) Current Position: He is a Taxi driver and married About the Taxi driver: This poor guy has the bad luck of being the first taxi driver crossing Bunshichi's way when he wanted to beat up Shin. His car nearly gets crushed there. 2 years later nearly the same thing happenes to him with Makiko. In addition his wife is always unfaithfull to him. Really a poor guy.

English Teacher | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 4 A teacher at Toudou Gakuen. I'm not actually sure that he is the English Teacher, but that is what I have been calling him. Apparently, he used to be a student at Toudou Gakuen himself, and is quite the fighter. | 14 | Volume 04 Page 099 | Volume 4 Volume 6 Volume 8 | |
Pei-san | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 8 An administrator (from China?) who helped to train Mitsuomi | 13 | Volume 08 Page 009 | Volume 8 Volume 19 | |
Rotsukaku Raika | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 17 She is a first year student that is part of the Tournament Steering Committee, generally regarded as the referees of the tournament. Each group gets one person assigned to them and that person reports back the situation of the matches and fighting circumstances to the main headquarters. Her name is kind of a joke: she is using a Leica M8 camera, and her name sounds the same as Leica. The Leica M8 came out in late 2006, retailing for about $4800 currently. | 13 | Volume 17 Page 039 | Volume 17 Volume 18 Volume 19 Volume 20 Volume 22 | |
Koumikawa Hitomi | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 17 小海川 瞳 3rd year student, President of the 5th Jyujyutsu Club. Their group has 108 members, and has won the Election Tournament two times in the past 10 years, always making the best 8. Hitomi is said to be very strong, and has unsurpassed ground skills. They say that when she fights with a man, the men always go down with an idiotic grin on their face. She was ranked 2nd behind only the Enforcement Group's Isuzu Emi in the school-wide "Girl I would like to be stomped on by" ranking. Her catch-phrase is "Ewh, that is so annoying." (うっざいんですけど?) | 12 | Volume 17 Page 028 | Volume 17 | |
Amano Ryuukai | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 4 I don't remember much about Amano Ryuukai - he is an antagonist from the past arc. He encounters Maya and tries to take credit for the "Katana Hunting" that is going on. When he tells Maya that people always go easy on her because of who her brother is, they get into a fight. | 12 | Volume 04 Page 209 | Volume 4 Volume 5 | |

Jun Fan Kung Fu is name of Bruce Lee's self-developed martial arts style. It is also known as Jeet Kune Do. For the record, Inosato Dan is dressed as Bruce Lee from his film "Game of Death."

He looks suspiciously like a Kappa (a type of Japanese turtle-headed monster.) Bob and Souichirou manage to defeat him, and he isn't seen again. | 4 | Volume 04 Page 085 | Volume 4 | |
Koujimachi Kaneteru | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 17 麹町 兼照 3rd year student, President of the Armor Kurashion (甲冑クラシオン), the armoured fighting club. He seems to really like Oak trees for some reason, and thinks that the Helment Beetle is the best beetle of them all. Their club has taken techniques based on a warrior whose sword was broken and armor depleted by arrow attacks in the past, and mixed it with techniques from modern fighting styles. According to Kurei, he is ranked 23rd overall in the school. | 4 | Volume 17 Page 032 | Volume 17 | |
Marantz Tadokoro Gonzoles | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 17 マランツ=田所=ゴンザレス Bowgun Association Leader. They are chosen in the first round as one of the Jyuukenbu's opponents. Strangely, their very low-level group was able to obtain a prime location usually occupied by one of the major Archery groups. They were promised large rewards by Isuzu Emi from the Enforcement Group if they could take out the Jyuukenbu in the first round.

Ishiyumi | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 9 The ex-leader of the Ishiyumi family. About the Ishiyumi family: (From TJTG UJ Special.) The arrows that first cut into the advance guard in a battle. Together with Kagiroi, they play the role of starting a battle, as a long distance striking force. Ishiyumi Tessen was also the first to start the battle between the Jyuukenbu and F. | 3 | Volume 09 Page 010 | Volume 9 | |
Gushiken Kaoru | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 17 具志堅 薫 3rd year student, President of the Taidou Club. He talks a big talk about the body's "central pivot line" and how all the major damange points on a body line up with that line from the head down. His approach is to intentionally move in ways that open that line up to attack, as opposed to the natural stance that would protect that line. Opponents who are used to martial arts are surprised by that tactic. | 3 | Volume 17 Page 030 | Volume 17 | |

The current leader has a Beckham haircut, and it seems like he can use the Dragon's Palm...!? | 3 | Volume 09 Page 011 | Volume 9 | |
Shoujou | From Tenjo Tenge Volume 9 About the Shyoujyou family: The Shyoujyou family, just like the Wani family, is at this stage completly wrapped up in mystery. Shyoujyou is similar to a live version of that monkey from Chinese legends, and should be careful about drinking alcohol...!? Note: The kanji for Shyoujyou means "Orangutang". | 3 | Volume 09 Page 010 | Volume 9 | |
