About this title
Synopsis
Haruka Sakura wants nothing to do with weaklings—he's only interested in the strongest of the strong. He's just started at Furin High School, a school of degenerates known only for their brawling strength—strength they use to protect their town from anyone who wishes it ill. But Haruka's not interested in being a hero or being part of any sort of team—he just wants to fight his way to the top! (Source: Kodansha USA)

Hayato Suou795 fan favoritesExternal profileAge: 15 Height: 174 cm / 5'8" Weight: 66 kg Blood type: AB Birthday: March 28 Occupation: Student, Class 1-1 Affiliation: Bofurin Position: First-Year Vice-Captain; Vaisravana Unit Suou is someone who is always smiling and calm, even in critical situations. He never shows his irritation, annoyance or any negative emotion. He studies situations and tries to react to them in the right way, in conflicts as well as in situations with certain comrades. His character resembles that of an aristocrat, without entering into superiority, and his fighting style refers a lot to his personality since he never uses his fists, rather his palms. Suou practices martial arts. (Source: Wind Breaker Wiki)
Hajime Umemiya391 fan favoritesExternal profileHeight: 188 cm / 6'2" Weight: 80 kg Blood type: O Birthday: February 1 Occupation: Student Affiliation: Bofurin Position: Bofurin Leader Umemiya is an easygoing, friendly person. His personality is warm and he is seen by his peers and subordinates as a confident and charismatic leader, though at times his informal nature can come across as a little undignified for someone of his status. He is often shown to be very proud of and encouraging to his team. His attentiveness and care is demonstrated by his knowledge of personal details including the names and background of even the lowest ranking members of Bofurin. Aside from his team, Umemiya is also deeply invested in the wellbeing of the general community in Makochi, this being a foundational goal for him in the original plan for the reformation of Furin High and the establishment of Bofurin itself. He is both well known and well loved throughout the town, and is often doted on and praised by the townspeople. When engaging in fighting, much of the levity in his mannerisms disappear and he appears incredibly intimidating and serious. This shift in energy is at times so drastic and perceptible that it can be jarring and frightening to see even from his allies. Despite this, his compassionate and empathetic nature is also still present in his approach to fighting. He believes fighting to simply be another form of having a conversation, and uses it to connect with his opponents in a way that may more successfully facilitate mutual understanding than the use of verbal communication alone.

Akihiko Nirei56 fan favoritesExternal profileAge: 15 Height: 163 cm / 5'4" Weight: 57 kg / 125 lbs Blood type: O Birthday: September 21 Occupation: Student, Class 1-1 Affiliation: Bofurin Position: First-Year Vice-Captain; Vaisravana Unit Nirei is generally calm and quite cheerful. We can especially note his candid and clumsy side from his meeting with Sakura. However, his character changes radically when he has to face danger. Indeed, he becomes much more stressed and frightened, this being due in particular to his past of being bullied and by the fact that he doesn't know how to fight. He also feels rather pathetic about joining Fuurin without a combat skill, though his classmates say otherwise. (Source: Wind Breaker Wiki)
