Taiju Shiba

Taiju Shiba is the former 10th leader of the Black Dragons.

Appearance
Similar to Draken, Taiju is a very tall and strong man, towering over every character, even Draken himself. His hair is blue and was kept long and tied up. He wears a custom Black Dragons uniform, where the uniform jacket is longer and red instead. He keeps his uniform jacket open, showing his chest. He has tribal tattoos styled in a series of swirls on the left side of his neck down to his chest and cursive tattoos below that. He's sports a crazed grin and exhibits all sorts of unusual expressions.

Personality
Taiju is brutal and abusive. He enjoys tormenting his opponents and has little care for others' wellbeing, even his own siblings'. He is doesn't care what his opponent is, even she were a girl. He trained the 10th generation Black Dragons gang to act like an army. Taiju was very abusive towards his siblings, going so far as to beat them over insignificant things.

He is a prideful individual, believing in the supremacy of his fighting abilities and in the strength of his gang. In addition, he is incredibly charismatic, completely capturing the hearts of his followers.

Despite his appearance and abusive personality, Taiju is a very religious Christian. He goes to church alone to pray on Christmas annually.

Taiju actually loves his two siblings very much, but his over-protectiveness became warped into domestic abuse.

Authority
During the time he was the Black Dragons' leader, he had absolute control over the powerful gang, directing and ordering them as he pleased.

Leadership Skills
Under Taiju, Black Dragons became incredibly formidable and united, with others observing how it was almost like an army. Taiju, along with his impressive strength, is also very charismatic. His followers do not merely obey him out of fear; they do so out of respect for him as well.

Fighting Prowess
Taiju is an incredibly powerful fighter. His blows are destructive and his endurance is also impressive. Taiju easily defeated elites of Toman, who were very competent fighters in their own right. He was the only person in the series to temporarily knock out Mikey, even if Mikey took that blow on purpose. In addition, he also woke up quickly after being hit at full force by Mikey's signature kick.
