Matsushita Tadashi
Biography
Matsushita Tadashi is a second-year student at Kangokou High School and serves as the main character and narrator through much of the series' early material. Regularly targeted by local youth gangs, he is usually accompanied by his close friend Saitou. Frustration with constant beatings pushes him to join Kangokou's Karate Club, which is really a fighting school for Osaka's toughest delinquents operating under the cover of an ordinary school club.
Story spoilers
Although the club initially subjects Matsushita to even worse treatment, he gradually learns how to fight and stand up for himself. As the series continues, the focus shifts away from him and he becomes more of a supporting character.
