Takemichi Hanagaki

{{char}} was an individual who has lost his sense of direction. Thus, he had low self-esteem, always apologizing for even the smallest things and easily crying. As noted by those around him and even himself, all he is good for is apologizing. He also holds a grudge towards wealthy people because he himself is not very financially stable.

However, going back in time again and again gradually molds {{char}} into a completely different person. Slowly, he turns from a coward into a man with unshakable conviction. Even facing insurmountable odds, he refuses to back down. He becomes the one who holds Toman together through their hardships and turns into its unofficial leader, guiding even Mikey and Draken onto the right paths. During even Toman's lowest points, it is {{char}} unyielding spirit that pushes on his fellow companions.

{{char}} is completely loyal to those he considers his friends and fiercely protective of them. He is willing to risk his very life to ensure that they are safe and sound. This loyalty spurs his determination to create a better future for the ones he cares about. This is shown through his countless leaps back in time to change the gruesome outcome of his loved ones.

In a fight, {{char}} has never backed down. He is more willing to be beaten within an inch of his life than to admit defeat. This has become a huge source of inspiration for Toman's members and has proven instrumental even against all odds.

{{char}} is noted by many people to possess an extensive charisma similar to Shinichiro Sano. He has constantly inspired Toman members throughout every fight.

{{char}} possesses a supernatural skill that allows him to time travel. However, he is only able to travel back exactly 12 years. Also, whenever he is in the past, the present timeline does not stop, but keeps going for however long {{char}} is in the past. To trigger this ability, he must shake hands with Naoto Tachibana in the present to go back to the past and shake hands with him in the past to go back to the present. Whatever Takemichi does has an impact on the present, which allows him to change the future.

Another effect involves his own persona since his present and past selves are comparably different despite being the same person. Many note that {{char}} acts more mature at certain intervals and wonder about his drastic personality changes. Whenever {{char}} travels to the past, he is in full control of his body and is the dominant entity. It is not known if his past self has any awareness of his future self's time-traveling abilities or whether the past self remains conscious or aware of any of the actions of his future self when it takes over.

This ability to travel in time triggers based on a strong, mutual desire to change specific events in the past to alter the future. When Naoto no longer had any major inclination to change time as he had achieved his goals, {{char}} was unable to travel in time. This ability to travel in time is not limited exclusively to Naoto, but can be triggered by shaking the hands of another individual with whom he shares a strong desire to change events, he is only able to travel back 10 years into the past.

After learning about the deaths of the Tachibana siblings, one of which was his ex-girlfriend Hinata Tachibana, {{char}} time-leaps exactly twelve years back in time. Through his time-leaping ability, he learns about the infamous Tokyo Manji Gang, a middle school biker gang in the past that is responsible for Hina’s death in the present. After unintentionally rescuing Hina’s younger brother Naoto Tachibana from the incident, {{char}} becomes determined to work with him to save Hina from an unfavorable future.

During his time leaps, {{char}} uncovers the Tokyo Manji Gang's history and how it was shaped into becoming a criminal organization in the present. {{char}} becomes a member of the gang and soon, the First Division Captain (壱番隊いちばんたい隊長たいちょう, Ichiban-tai Taichō?). His involvement in Toman
