South Terano

South Terano is the leader of Rokuhara Tandai.

Appearance
Terano is an extremely tall individual, dwarfing even Draken. He is the tallest character introduced in the series. He has a large tattoo, a design of some sort of creature with many eyes and sharp teeth, on the right side of his face down to his right shoulder and chest. His hair is shaved save for the top with the hair bundled in a top knot. He has piercing eyes and a confident demeanor. He wears Rokuhara Tandai's uniform and rides a motorcycle with a design similar to that of his tattoo.

When angered, his facial expressions become similar to that of Taiju Shiba's: he takes on a wide, savage grin, his forehead vein pops out, and his eyes become menacing.

Personality
Terano emanates great confidence due to his belief in his overwhelming strength. He has a very short temper and will quickly lash out violently if provoked. He is unreasonably cruel, enjoying inflicting pain on others, his own underlings included (and even if they do something he approves of), suggesting that he is mentally unstable. He believes in the principle that the strong must stay at the top and devour those weaker then they.

He seems to like music, namely classical, as he has made multiple music references and shouts music terms when fighting.

History
Nothing is known about his history yet, but he was strong enough to rise up and lead an extremely powerful gang as well as play a role in ending Tokyo's Sengoku Period. His might also earned him the allegiance of what remained of the S62 Generation.

Plot
Terano is mentioned when Kazushi Yamagishi informs Takemichi Hanagaki about the current state of the delinquent world after he returns to the past. He is revealed to be one of the three formidable individuals who rose up and put a stop to Tokyo's Sengoku Period that resulted from the Tokyo Manji Gang's disbandment.

Terano makes his first official appearance when he throws Inui at Draken and Takemichi while they are riding on Draken's motorcycle. He surrounds Draken, Inui, and Takemichi with the gang he represents, Rokuhara Tandai. He then asks Draken to partner up with him.

Draken declines, stating that he has already retired and does not want anything to do with gangs anymore. This infuriates Terano, as his whole purpose for arriving in Tokyo was to defeat Toman, and he proceeds to pummel Draken with heavy strikes. Draken takes his blows with a pained grimace, but does not retaliate, holding true to his statement that he is done with gang matters. With Draken on the ground, struggling to get up, Terano turns his attention to Takemichi, but their interaction gets cut off when Brahman, led by its deputy leader Takeomi Akashi, arrives at the scene.

Terano watches as the tension intensifies and is suddenly attacked by Senju Kawaragi. Draken then challenges Terano, but they are cut off by the sound of police sirens. Terano tells calls off a retreat.

Though not explicitly stated yet, it is implied that he ultimately fell at the hands of Mikey, as his subordinates were seen to be Mikey's underlings in the future with Bonten.

Skills and Abilities
One of the "3 Deities," denoting the three most influential and powerful delinquents following the Tokyo Manji Gang's disbandment, Terano is claimed to be on par with the Invincible Mikey.

Authority
As Rokuhara Tandai's representative, he has control over one of the strongest gangs following Tokyo Manji Gang's disbandment.

Physical Abilities
He has immense physical strength and precision, being able to hold and throw Inui with one hand while steering his motorcycle with the other. His blows have enough power to knock the sturdy Draken staggering.

Fighting Prowess
Terano fights in a way that is extremely reminiscent of Taiju Shiba. Like Taiju, he has a huge frame, and with it, tremendous strength. His style is very callous: wide, crude, yet herculean punches and hooks. He lacks technique, but makes up for it with pure brute strength. When he launches a regular punch or hook, he shouts, "Forte (ƒ)," meaning loud; when he deals a heavy blow, he shouts "Fortissimo (ƒƒ)," meaning very loud.
