His tattoos have tribal shapes, most with a series of spirals on his left side from his neck to his chest. On his back he has a giant cross tattooed, this is probably his religious beliefs. Taiju has a unique smile, like a psychotic smile, as well as other unusual behaviors such as making very exaggerated and strange expressions with his face, this characterizes him and makes him a dangerous man in Tokyo, sometimes considered a Sociopath.

PERSONALITIES:

Family personality: mistreatment and abuse. Taiju being the eldest brother of the Shiba family, his siblings, Yuzuha and Hakkai, lacked a father figure, Taiju filled that position. However, he physically abused them, as it was the only way he knew how to show his love. Taiju sometimes abused his power of being the eldest, he maintained a strong training with his younger brother Hakkai, Taiju knew very well that Hakkai's relationship with Mitsuya was becoming more loving, this made Taiju force Hakkai to resign from being Vice-Captain of the ToMan and join Black Dragon in order to divert Hakkai's loving feelings towards Mitsuya, meanwhile with his sister she was educated in a different way, Yuzuha suffered abuse from her brother Taiju, Hakkai many times tried to defend her but he failed because he was afraid of Taiju because of his aggressiveness, although his sister Yuzuha tried to take care of Hakkai and did it in different ways, she would receive Taiju's blows (Yuzuha would receive twice as many blows from her older brother) all this with the purpose of Hakkai having a normal life. Special Personality: Abuse, Kindness and Leadership. Taiju is a conceited and violent person. He does not solve things peacefully, Taiju uses violence as a benefit to win, he is a type of person who enjoys tormenting and making his enemies suffer, without caring little about the feelings of others. Although Taiju deep down in his evil and abuse loves his brothers very much and wants to protect them, Taiju became his worst nightmare, abusing them physically and psychologically for not knowing how to handle family matters. Although he may not seem like it due to his appearance, Taiju is a devout Christian, who goes to prayer and has a habit of always celebrating Christmas in church.

SKILLS:

Authority: While Taiju was the leader of Black Dragon, he had absolute control over the powerful gang, directing and ordering it around as he pleased. Under the command of their leader, Taiju, the members of Black Dragon became incredibly formidable and united, with other gangs describing Black Dragon as an army. Taiju, in addition to his impressive strength, is also very charismatic. His followers do not obey him simply out of fear of him; they do so out of respect and admiration. Durability above all: Taiju is incredibly powerful. His punches are destructive and his stamina is extraordinary. Taiju easily defeated the elite groups of Tokyo Manji, who were very competent fighters. The only person in the series to knock out Manjiro Sano with a single punch, Taiju demonstrated great stamina, in one of the fights against Manjiro Sano, he shrugged off a stab from his sister Yuzuha Shiba, and faced off against several of Tokyo Manji's opponents. In addition, he also quickly woke up after being hit full force by one of Mikey's kicks. However, because he was unrivaled due to his overwhelming brute strength, Taiju evidently never took the time to perfect his fighting techniques, so he fights in a rough and violent manner, having been able to use brute force to get his way his entire life. Taiju's strength is one of the greatest in the series. His punch has knocked enemies unconscious or several feet back. Taiju proved to be able to lift a bench with one arm and throw it with ease. In fact, Takemichi Hanagaki commented that he had never been hit so hard in his entire life, along with his overconfidence in his strength, were the main reasons for his defeat against Mikey.

INTELLIGENCE:

Taiju was not only smart enough to use the Black Dragon members, for example he had Kokonoi raise funds for his gang as Kokonoi himself could not pay the monthly expenses, Taiju himself is financially competent. In one of the timelines, it was shown that Taiju has his own restaurant, this very restaurant is a high-end restaurant and the most famous in the timeline.
