Masaru

Masaru (マサル, Masaru?) is Takemichi Hanagaki's cousin and a third year student in Shibuya Middle School. He claimed to be the leader of the delinquents in Shibuya Middle School, only to have his lie and identity as the gang's gofer exposed.

Appearance: Masaru is a teenager of average height with brown hair and freckles. His eyes usually are half open with a nervous expression. He is also seen slouching slightly. Personality: In front of Takemichi and his friends, Masaru pretends to be a strong fighter and the leader of his middle school, indicating that he likes to boast. However, he is only the third years' gofer, and while with them, is extremely servile and timid. Skills and Abilities: Masaru is evidently not very competent as a fighter as he is merely Kiyomasa and his friends' servant. Even though he is far from being the strongest delinquent, Masaru still knows how to defend himself and has a qualified fighting level but is not very impressive. History: As kids, Masaru would sometimes take Takemichi's bike, while Takemichi cries and chasing Masaru to get his bike back. Masaru being a year older than Takemichi and wanting to show off, had told Takemichi that he is the leader of Shibuya Middle School.
