Unless seriously pissed off or trying to defend friends, at which time can demonstrate amazing feats of martial arts. Is seriously fixated on his unrequited love toward Natsume Aya. Joined Jyuukenbu to get back at his older brother. Is extremely nerdy when it comes to younger girls, however older women don't seem to excite him as much.

Natsume ShinNatsume ShinFrom 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?"

Isuzu EmiIsuzu EmiFrom 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 ... !?

Asshat [Sugano Kagesada]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.

Takayanagi DougenTakayanagi DougenFrom 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".

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.

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?

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

Character: Tagami is a true gentleman, and believes in the ideals of the Samurai Warrior. He has a stuttering problem. He has dedicated his life to serving Takayanagi Mitsuomi because he believes that Mitsuomi is an honorable warrior.
Oh! Great speaks: (From TJTG UJ Special.) Actually, I really like this guy. 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.

Tsumuji Mataza (F)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.
Current Position: Mataza is ( or was until the fight with Souichirou) the current leader of the Tsumuji house, he is a member of F, his school grade is not known.
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.

Sagara: Sagara is the student. He's a nice guy, and really just wants to do whatever he can to elevate the status of his Wrestling group to that of an official club.
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.
UJ Description: A school Enforcer, he's a muscular type that goes by the name "Saga Mask". He's the president of the Professional Wrestling research club, and a cornerstone of the Enforcement Group!

Fu Chi'enFu Chi'enFrom Tenjo Tenge Volume 5
Fighting Style: Tiger-fist style (Koken)
Special Abilities: Fu Chi'en is an Earth Dragon user, and commands the power of lightning when his feet are touching the ground.
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.

Mayutsubo NokimiMayutsubo NokimiFrom 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.

KagurazakaKagurazakaFrom 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.

ReikiReikiFrom 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.

[Ancient Arc] Aya[Ancient Arc] AyaFrom 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.

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.

Kabuto Katsuyoshi (F)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.

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.

Ryuzaki TsutomuRyuzaki TsutomuFrom 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.

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.

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.
