Nameless in the series. While he does have a name, no one seems to be interested in knowing it (including Hokuto himself), and they simply refer to him as &quot;you&quot;, &quot;other guy&quot;, or just &quot;Hokuto's Henchman&quot;. There was actually a controversy among the students, when he said he did not want to be called &quot;Hokuto's Henchman&quot;. Every time he tries to say his name though, something generally absurd happens and cuts the event short.

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!
