Description
Kazutaka Hongou is a tall forward, jersey number 8, playing rugby for Koufuuin University alongside his older brother, Madoka. His dark purplish-red hair sweeps left, matching his intense eyes.

Arrogant since childhood, Kazutaka frequently instigated schoolyard fights. To manage his aggression, Madoka persuaded him to join rugby, channeling his energy onto the field with childhood friends Natsusa and Seiichirou. Kazutaka's combative nature starkly contrasts Madoka's persuasive and encouraging leadership.

The Hongou brothers first earned renown as rugby players at Maisagi High School, a reputation continuing at Koufuuin where Madoka is "The God of Backs" and Kazutaka, "The Forward God of Destruction"—a nickname coined by their high school teammate and friend, Ibuki Ueoka.

His given name, Kazutaka (主鷹), combines "lord, chief, master" (主) and "hawk, falcon" (鷹). His surname, Hongou (本郷), blends "base, root, origin" (本) with "township, home town, village" (郷).
