The Bofurin can be identified by the distinctive Furin High School uniform, featuring a jacket with a collar and cuffs in green and yellow stripes, along with a prominent button on the collar. Individuals are welcome to wear any preferred shirt beneath it. Due to their significant role in safeguarding Makochi’s citizens, the townspeople express endless gratitude towards them, offering free meals and heartfelt appreciation. The main character of the series – Haruka Sakura – is initially taken aback by the praise and affection he receives from the townsfolk, as he was accustomed to being teased due to his unique two-tone hair color and mismatched eye colors.

Punching can be a form of communication that proves more effective than spoken words at times, though this might be particularly true among individuals such as ourselves.

In the Wind Breaker series, the common stereotype of gangs and delinquents is flipped on its head. Instead of depicting them as evil or destructive, the series presents the Bofurin gang as a group of honorable young individuals who strive for righteousness rather than chaos. However, they still have their own opponents to contend with, such as the Shishitoren, a band of delinquents led by Choji Tomiyama and Jo Togame. The Shishitoren prioritize strength above all else, expelling members who are perceived as weak or not strong enough to meet their expectations.

Directly below him, there exist four key figures known as the Four Heavenly Kings, each responsible for their respective teams. Further division occurs within these teams, with two deputy leaders reporting to each of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Each class designates a Grade Captain, supported by two vice captains, acting as their right-hand assistants. The Four Heavenly Kings consist of Toma Hiragi, commanding the Tamon team, Tasuku Tsubakino leading the Jikoku team, Takumi Momose heading the Zojo Unit, and Saku Mizuki guiding the Komoku team. Each of the Four Heavenly Kings also has an advisor who serves as their second-in-command. Beneath them are the second years, comprising Ren Kaji, Yuto Kusumi, Takeshi Enomoto, and Wataru Shiina. Initially, Kaji is seen mentoring Sakura upon being appointed grade captain.

Besides its leadership, the Bofurin includes key characters from the series: Haruka Sakura, the impulsive protagonist, and his companions – Hayato Suo, a powerful first-year student like Sakura; Akihiko Nirei, part of Sakura’s group, known for his expertise in fighting techniques although he himself isn’t much of a fighter; Kyotaro Sugishita, who often appears brooding but is incredibly strong and competes with Sakura as a rival; Mitsuki Kiryu, frequently seen with his phone yet still a skilled fighter; lastly, there’s the energetic Taiga Tsugeura, always ready to join in.
