Description
Toramaru Ryuji is a major character appearing across multiple official installments of the Sakigake!! Otokojuku franchise, including the original manga, anime series, spin-offs, and live-action adaptation.
Born November 30, he stands 180 cm (5'11") tall, weighs 95 kg (209 lbs), and has blood type B. As the son of Toramaru Ryuta, a former military ally of Otokojuku's principal Edajima Heihachi, he bears a strong physical resemblance to his father. His name combines "tora" (tiger) and "ryu" (dragon), signifying traditional might. He later becomes the father of a daughter named Ryuko.
Enrolled as a first-year student at Otokojuku, Toramaru faced immediate punishment: confinement in the "Prison of Penitence" (Gokukai Bouren) for six months, forced to support a 200 kg stone ceiling after farting in an instructor's face. This ordeal forged exceptional endurance and strength, leaving him with a disheveled appearance marked by long hair tied in a ponytail, facial stubble, and prayer beads. He later joined Momotaro Tsurugi's team during the "Four Great Trials of Terror".
Toramaru blends carefree crudeness with fierce loyalty. He frequently employs flatulence as comedic relief or a combat tactic, yet demonstrates profound camaraderie with peers like Togashi Genji, developing combination techniques. His self-proclaimed "Fierce Tiger Style" (Moukouryuu) emphasizes brute force, sumo wrestling skills (as a former yokozuna), and improvisation. Key techniques include the **Great Fart Cannon (Daihouhi)**, a surprise attack reaching 100 m/s wind speeds; the **Great Fart Cannon Flamethrower (Daihouhi Kaenhousha)**, igniting flatulence with a lighter; and combination moves with Togashi like the **Boar Leaping Jumping Body Cannon** (slingshot launch) and **Great Fart Cannon Human Wheel** (rolling attack followed by a dagger strike).
He actively participated in major Otokojuku events: the "Four Great Trials of Terror" (battling Gekkou in the Hyoubon Enmonkan ice ring), the "Great Pa-Lien Quaking Conquest," and the "Heaven-Challenging Olympic Tournament." Initially a formidable fighter capable of knocking out Momotaro and shattering ice rings, his role later shifted toward commentary, though he reengaged in combat when required.
Years after graduation, depicted in spin-offs like *Sora Yori Takaku* and *Akatsuki!! Otokojuku*, Toramaru becomes a successful Financing CEO. He retains his disheveled hair and crass behavior, seen receiving fellatio from his secretary and ordering sex toys at work. Yet, he dons his Otokojuku uniform or fundoshi (loincloth) to aid former classmates, maintaining his connection to the school. His daughter Ryuko attends the spin-off *Kurenai!! Onnajuku*.
The live-action film *Be a Man! Samurai School* adapts his character with differences: Toramaru appears earlier, avoids frequent clothes removal, and identifies as Christian during his fight against Gekkou. His emotional depth surfaces during Otokojuku's graduation, where he tearfully reflects on the school's hardships with nostalgia.
