Some
Characters of Note:
Eikichi
Onizuka: Formerly a near-legendary gang member,
Onizuka has a new mission - to become a great schoolteacher.
Of course, part of it is so that he can check out
the beautiful high school girls, but nevertheless,

methods are unorthodox, they have a way of striking
a chord with the students he comes into contact
with.
Ryuji
Danma:
Onizuka's best friend and also a fellow former gang
member. Ryuji and Onizuka came to Tokyo 6 years
ago to start their lives over after tiring of the
gang life. Ryuji was able to go to school, get a
commercial license, and open up his own store. He
is constantly wondering if Onizuka is cut out to
be a teacher but nevertheless encourages him in
his own subtle way.

help Onizuka whereever possible and believes in
the new way that he is treating education.
