South Terano

Minami Terano, or South Terano , was the representative of Rokuhara Tandai.

Appearance
South was an extremely tall and muscular individual, dwarfing even Ken Ryuguji. He had 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 was shaved save for the top with the hair bundled in a top knot. He had piercing eyes and a confident demeanor. He wore the traditional Rokuhara Tandai uniform and owned a motorcycle with a design similar to that of his tattoo. He bore a gunshot wound on the left side of his chest.

At five years old, South had relatively short hair. As a 12 year old, Terano was already as strong and tall as a grown man. His head was shaven, and he already had his tattoos.

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.

Due to his violent upbringing, Terano has no qualms about killing at all.

He seems to like music, namely classical, as he has made multiple music references and shouts music terms when fighting, which stemmed from the fact that his only childhood companion was an old piano.

Authority
Before being crowned as one of the Three Deities, South pronounced himself as the leader of Rokuhara Tandai, an influential and powerful motorcycle gang established during Tokyo's Sengoku Period. South was recognized to be on par with Manjiro Sano and Senju Kawaragi authority wise. When he was twelve years old, he became the leader of Dino South, a small yet fearsome gang that ran a favela in Rio de Janeiro, South's hometown.

Physical Abilities
South had immense physical strength and precision, being able to hold and throw Seishu Inui with one hand while steering his motorcycle with the other. His blows have enough power to knock the sturdy Draken staggering. As a 12 year old, he already had the strength to kill a grown, muscular man.

Fighting Prowess
One of the strongest characters in the story, 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.

He is so overwhelmingly powerful that he easily defeated the remaining S-62 Generation all at once. He also destroyed Kakucho in a fight.

Endurance
Due to his massive and muscular frame, he can shake off blows that would knock out anyone else. Terano has yet to suffer any significant injury in the story, save for a gunshot wound.
