The anime Tokyo Revengers features Takemichi, the main protagonist, who has several close friends, including his girlfriend whom he cherishes the most as his precious treasure. He is willing to do anything to save them from death. Let’s take a closer look at some of the characters who are closest to Takemichi in the anime.
Hinata
Hinata was Takemichi’s girlfriend during their middle school days which laid the foundation for his life. In the present time frame of the anime, Hinata is reported to have died due to a clash between motorcycle gangs at a festival. After Takemichi is unsuccessful in saving Hinata’s life from the festival’s accident, she dies in another accident caused by Akkun, his childhood friend who fears Sasaki.
Mikey
Takemichi idolizes Mikey who is his hero. In an incident where Takemichi and his friends were treated like slaves by a gang called Kiyomasa and later made to fight in a human cockfighting game to prove themselves, Takemichi was beaten badly in their first fight. In the second round, Takemichi’s friends were to fight Kiyomasa’s subordinates. Takemichi challenged Kiyomasa to protect his friends despite knowing his weakness, but was able to hold out against Kiyomasa’s power with Draken’s sudden assistance. Mikey and Draken rescued Takemichi in this situation. Mikey finds Takemichi attractive because of his lively spirit, and since then, they have been buddies.
Draken
Takemichi’s relationship with Draken is similar to his relationship with Mikey. Mikey and Draken are the leaders and vice-leaders respectively, and Takemichi is a friend in between them. Takemichi is the mediator when the two of them disagree. Initially, Kiyoman stabbed Draken, but Takemichi rescued him. But unfortunately, Draken’s fate was no different, and he was sentenced to death.
Akkun, Takuya, Makoto, and Yamagashi
Akkun, Takuya, Makoto, and Yamagashi are Takemichi’s early childhood friends before he became friends with Mikey and Draken. They are not the main characters, but they always back up Takemichi. In the future, Akkun becomes one of Kazaki’s followers and Takemichi’s enemy. He pushed Takemichi onto the train tracks and killed his girlfriend. Akkun remains a loyal friend for Takemichi.
In conclusion, Tokyo Revengers is a story about friendship, loyalty, and the will to change the future. Takemichi’s life and journeys are intertwined with his comrades, and their relationships are the key to his success. The anime portrays love, pain, loss, and power in their purest forms, making it an exciting watch.
