The leader of Cromartie High's first-year students. Known to be an incredible fighter and a reliable person. His name is a parody of a famous Japanese actor.  From the character profile:  The underground kingpin of Cromartie High's 1st year class. (What is an "underground kingpin" anyway?) Takenouchi loves to travel, but hates being in vehicles. His strenght is enough to make his longtime enemies at Bass High School tremble; in terms of respect, he has no equal. If only he didn't get motion sickness so easily, he would have made a perfectly fine main character. This single drawback is most regrettable. Takenouchi has come to fear Kamiyama because whenever the two are together, he ends up in some sort of unpleasant situation. Takenouchi has a cute, shaved head. His grandeur, which is far beyond that of a normal 16-year-old, has attracted many female fans. (Seriously!) His motto is "Stick with your New Years resolutions."

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? 
 
The only thing for certain is that for Kamiyama, Cromartie High School is his reality. And what a surreal reality it is. 
 
Because this is where the toughest, meanest (and often dumbest) students are sent to do time. At Cromartie, purple-mohawked bruisers and pencil-chomping street thugs are just part of every day life. And so is a 400-pound gorilla. And a macho brute named Freddie who travels with his own theme music. And, of course, Mechazawa, the student voted most likely to need an oil change. So pack your bags, put on your best tough-guy swagger, and get a lesson in insanity from the hilarious losers at Cromartie High. This is one class you won't ever want to cut.

Welcome to Cromartie High&mdash;a melting pot of underachievers and overzealous bullies, where the fist rules and the student body has the combined I.Q. of a rusty nail. After a whole lot of bad judgment and a little bad luck, Takashi Kamiyama is now attending this academy of dunces. Here, his only homework will be defending himself against the foul-mouthed robots, semi-intelligent apes and masked villains that roam the halls of Cromartie High School!
