Appearance

Senju is a young woman of below-average height with short light pink hair, green eyes, and prominent eyelashes, sharing similar facial characteristics with her older brother, Haruchiyo Sanzu. Due to her layered tousled bob hairstyle with unruly waves and blunt edges, she is often mistaken for a boy. Senju wears the standard Second Generation Toman uniform unbuttoned with a sarashi underneath. During her time in Brahman, Senju wore its traditional uniform with personally customized sleeves in a cherry blossom pattern instead of the Black Dragon typography. She wore skinny jeans for lower garments and a pair of black sneakers for footwear.

When she is not tending to her gang duties, Senju wears a white sailor top with a red necktie and a matching light blue skirt that ends right above her knee. She sometimes ties her hair in a well-kept bun and allows her bangs to freely cascade down the sides of her face. To complete her school outfit, she wears a pair of school shoes and white mid-calf socks for footwear.

Personality

Senju is a principled leader with a good moral compass. She commands Brahman through its losses and triumphs and aspires to preserve the gang as it is, veering it away from corruption and immorality despite being one of the most infamous bands of delinquents in Tokyo. However, her ideals become greatly challenged as she shepherds her team, occasionally encountering different opinions from her subordinates that counteract her beliefs until she succumbs to an inferior and unresponsive disposition toward them. She mostly puts this facade on with her older brother Takeomi Akashi, consequently her advisor, who she pronounced as such during the early formation stages of Brahman. Takeomi became her voice of reason throughout her time of governance, earning her trust in his judgment until he submitted to materialism and greed. He hinted to use Senju’s power and authority over the gang for indictable matters, and for this reason, Senju stowed away her true potential.

Senju is overshadowed by her older brother. Her refusal to involve Brahman in a prostitution ring ended in her defeat as she had given into Takeomi’s orders and accepted the business offer even after denouncing its felonious nature. Senju is prone to Takeomi’s subjugation and she is defenseless against him, even being reminded to separate personal emotions from making work-related decisions, and that successfully doing so is the major difference between a child (Senju) and an adult (Manjiro Sano). Eventually, Takeomi realizes his mistakes and seeks her forgiveness, permitting Senju to rise against him and exhibit her power for the greater glory of her gang.

Apart from submitting to Takeomi’s command, Senju believes in shouldering Brahman’s failures when the team is beset with adversities. She holds herself accountable and is inclined to blame herself for them, a detrimental mindset she has grown accustomed to after months of leadership as President. Her self-condemnation steers her to believe that she is incompetent in directing her gang and drives her to do better, first and foremost fighting her nemesis South Terano to bring Brahman to victory during the battle between the Three Deities. In fighting him, she proclaims herself as Brahman’s one and only boss, essentially a declaration of her strength and power against her subordinates from the First Generation Black Dragon.

Outside of her gang life, Senju shows a freer side of herself. According to Takemichi Hanagaki, “…no matter how you look at it, she is really just an ordinary cute trendy girl.” She is playful and childlike as seen during her rendezvous with Takemichi where she involved him in her shopping endeavors and dragged him around the amusement park on Tanabata. She is also frequently presumed to be an ordinary high schooler when wearing casual clothes and presents a completely different side of herself that turns out to be a surprise for most.

Additionally, she is a loyal individual who thinks lightly of herself when a friend is in danger. As such, Senju did not think twice about saving Takemichi from Rokuhara Tandai’s goons who threatened to shoot him after making a wish to protect him on a Tanzaku. While she was saved by Takemichi in the current timeline, he failed to protect her in the previous where she blocked the bullet and died, proving her heroism, selflessness, and loyalty to her friends.

Skills and Abilities

Authority:As the president of one of the strongest gangs to emerge during Tokyo Civil War Era, Senju has command of an incredibly fearsome fighting force. She has the allegiance of Black Dragon's founding members, one of which is her older brother, who are extremely powerful in their own right. Despite the generational differences between Senju and her subordinates, for Brahman is known to house fighters from older generations, she remains at the top of the ranks with the support of the First Generation Black Dragon.

Fighting Prowess:Apart from carrying the responsibility as Brahman’s president, Senju is also one of the gang’s notable fighters. She is a sly and cunning individual who chooses to have her right-hand man Takeomi Akashi lead her gang as a decoy for her to orchestrate sneak attacks when necessary, and is generally assertive in battle but has the ability to remain collected.During the spontaneous meet-up between Brahman and Rokuhara Tandai wherein both gangs ought to recruit Takemichi Hanagaki, Senju showcases her fighting prowess by landing a surprise attack on South Terano where she fights in a nimble and acrobatic style that befits her small stature. Senju can also execute high-level moves. Additionally, her strength and fighting skills are proven by her position as Brahman’s leader, as she established the gang after getting recognition for her outstanding performance in “B1,” Brahman’s underground ring. Although she is soon defeated by South in a one-on-one fight during the Battle of Three Deities, Senju's overall fighting abilities is commendable and acknowledged by the delinquents of Tokyo.

Senju Kawaragi — Summary of Her Backstory Why Brahman Exists and Why Senju Leads It

Canonically, Senju did not create Brahman.

Brahman was founded by Takeomi Akashi, her older brother and a former veteran of the Black Dragon era.

Takeomi recruited Senju to become the public leader of Brahman.

He chose her because her talent, charisma, and impact made Brahman appear more powerful and united.

In short: ✔ Takeomi founded Brahman, ✔ Senju became its leader because Takeomi placed her in that role.

Why Senju Dresses as a Boy

This is fully canon:

Since childhood, Senju dressed and behaved like a boy.

She did this because she admired Shinichiro Sano, her older brother and founder of the first Black Dragon.

She wanted to imitate him and be accepted in the male-dominated world of delinquent gangs.

Because of this, many people inside and outside Brahman did not know she was a girl.

In summary: ✔ She disguised herself as a boy to imitate Shinichiro, not as a survival tactic.

Her Childhood and the Incident That Shaped Her

Senju is the younger sister of Takeomi Akashi and Shinichiro Sano.

As a child, she constantly tried to get their attention.

One day, wanting more praise, she lied and told Takeomi that Shinichiro had pushed her.

This caused a serious fight between her brothers; Takeomi struck Shinichiro, and their relationship deteriorated afterward.

Senju felt responsible for tearing them apart.

After this incident, she started training intensely and imitating Shinichiro's style, trying to make up for what she caused.

Become one of the top forces in the Kantō delinquent world.

(These goals come directly from Takeomi’s intentions and the gang’s position in the Three Deities.)

The Three Deities of Kantō (Canon Explanation)

This term refers to the three strongest leaders/gangs dominating Tokyo in the present timeline.

1. Senju Kawaragi — Leader of Brahman

Represents the “shadow” and technique-based faction.

Brahman is known for elite-level fighters and underground influence.

2. South Terano — Leader of Rokuhara Tandai

Controls Rokuhara Tandai, a violent and destructive gang centered in Kawasaki (still part of the Greater Tokyo Area).

South is known for overwhelming physical strength and brutality.

Rokuhara absorbs many former high-ranking fighters from other gangs.

3. Manjiro Sano (Mikey) — Leader of Kantō Manji Gang

Extra Canon Information About Brahman and Senju

Brahman’s Fighting Style

Members often have martial arts-based combat, with powerful veterans trained since the Black Dragon days.

The group values discipline, precision, and high-level skill.

How Brahman Recruits

Takeomi hand-selects fighters with strong reputations or martial talent.

It does not recruit average delinquents — only elite warriors.

Why Brahman Stands Out

It is the most "elite" and organized of the Three Deities.

While Rokuhara uses force and Kanto Manji uses fear, Brahman uses skill and legacy.

Senju’s Role

Although public leader, Senju is technically a symbol installed by Takeomi.

Many members initially believed Senju was a boy due to her clothing and mannerisms.
