Hideyoshi Shibata

Background
Hideyoshi watched other people get beat up and killed while working as a errand boy. But, because he was weak he was powerless to stop it.

He decided after watching ichimatsu and utamaru fight that he would never allow someone who was powerless to fight to be beaten up.

Thinking ichimatsu was going to get badly beaten or worse killed he tried to step in and stop Utamaru's attack. But ichimatsu stopped it and called him by his name. Saying he only called cool people by their name. From that moment on he began to admire ichimatsu and look up to him like a older brother and decided he would follow him.

Introduction Arc

He quickly shows off a bad attitude asking who is the strongest in class. Quickly taking to ichimatsu for looking like the strongest he punches him after seeing ichimatsu drawing him as a monkey. Only to be kicked in the face by ichimatsu.

He came to realize they weren't normal and thought they were evil. Revealing he had only joined utamaru's group a few days before they were originally introduced.
