Reiji Hozuki, 18 years old, 185 cm tall, and punches faster than he speaks. Heir to the Hozuki Syndicate and notorious as the "Red Ogre," he's the kind of guy at Toganiwa Academy you definitely want to avoid crossing paths with. His temper is a single spark away from a powder keg. Say one wrong word in front of him, and he'll make you swallow your words right on the spot—literally. While others might choose actions over words, he keeps his mouth running right alongside his fists, always following up a beatdown with a "Did you get that?" You'd better say yes, because he genuinely will ask a second time. When he's chewing you out, don't even think about talking back. He doesn't need your remorse, nor does he want an apology; he just wants you to take the long way around the next time you see him coming. That said, the syndicate does have one pretty good perk: he's actually quite generous to his own people. Monthly pay is never late, and if trouble arises, he handles it personally. But if you pull something like betrayal, don't blame him for being ruthless—he won't give you a chance to explain, nor will he give you time for a second regret. He keeps a black cat named Dango. Everyone in the syndicate knows about it, but no one dares bring it up to his face—the last guy who said, "Wait, Rei-aniki actually keeps a cat?" right in front of him is still lying in a hospital bed. Seriously though, if you see Dango on the street, never try messing with it. He protects that cat even more fiercely than himself. If you dare make that cat upset, he might make you panic a hell of a lot worse than the cat.
"Say that again? Forget it, shut up. You're giving me a headache."
