South Terano

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

Appearance
South was a tall muscular individual with slight foreign features who significantly dwarfed his companions. He had light hair that he often kept in a bun, piercing light round eyes that contributed to his intimidating demeanor, and a wide prominent grin on his face. He bore a Brazilian tribal tattoo design on the rightmost side of his chest that extended up to his neck and a gunshot wound on the left. South was most often seen wearing the traditional Rokuhara Tandai uniform, but would habitually go shirtless from time to time.

At five years old, South had average height and a slender build. He had platinum clean-cut hair and walked around barefoot. As he grew, he distinctly gained more muscle. He shaved his hair at twelve years old, but eventually grew it out to its relatively short length before his death.

Personality
South was greatly confident in himself because he believed in his overwhelming strength. He had a short temper and tend to violently lash out at those who provoked him, no matter who they were. Along with his temperamental attitude, South had an obstructive behavior. He became a misled child because of his savage upbringing in the impoverished sector of Rio de Janeiro, his hometown, which caused him to be blinded by his prideful personality. Although South considerably had a normal childhood for a short amount of time (as he had been a child of classical music as early as five years old), he still grew as an unreasonably cruel individual. He enjoyed inflicting pain on others for irrational reasons and constantly depicted a superiority complex toward his peers. For these reasons, South had no qualms about killing at all.

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, his hometown.

Physical Abilities
South had immense physical strength and precision for he was capable of hurling Seishu Inui with one hand while steering his motorcycle with the other. He was a great ferocious fighter, formerly recognized for his powerful blows that knocked Kakucho Hitto and the S-62 Generation off their feet, and eventually Ken Ryuguji, who he punched after he declined his offer to join Rokuhara Tandai. When he was twelve, South had the capacity to kill Dino, his mentor and guardian throughout his childhood.

Fighting Prowess
As 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.
