Japanese Delinquents: Difference between revisions

{{examples}}

* ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' (parodied, when Chiyo-chan and company dressed up as delinquents during the Sports Festival)

** Also parodied during Kaorin's ''hatsuyume'' (the first dream of the new year), when all of the girls (except Sakaki) are wearing face masks and long skirts, implying gang membership. Then Sakaki rides in on a white horse, knocks them down, and sweeps Kaorin away. She (Kaorin) <s>wakes up</s>was quite disappointed to wake up just then.

* In episode 30 of ''[[Engine Sentai Go-onger]]'', Sousuke and Ren get brainwashed into baddies; while Sousuke wears the jacket and pants, Ren goes the 'yankii' route with a Hawaiian shirt.

** A similar example in the previous year's ''[[Juken Sentai Gekiranger]]'', with Ran being turned into a ''sukeban''. {{spoiler|Then they learn that their mentor Miki ''used to be a real one''.}}

* The [[Mooks]] of the school level in ''[[No More Heroes]]''.

* Just about everyone in ''[[River City Ransom]]''. Well, except the shop keepers, waiters, children, the old man at the sauna, Roxy, and Ryan. But still!

* Most of the ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]]'' games sometimes pit you against delinquents during dates, and you'll have to fight them ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' battles-style. When defeated, their Banchou comes to fight you; if you defeat him, [[Worthy Opponent|he'll acknowledge you as the new Banchou]] and will make excuses for his underlings' rudeness. In ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]] 2'', the delinquent gang is fleshed out (but still as secondary characters), with their Banchou revealed as {{spoiler|the [[Knight Templar Big Brother]] of one of the datable girls, and the Banchou of the first game}}, and having under its order a [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] of 4 members known as the ''[[The Four Gods|Four Heaven Kings]]'', all having a specific name, face and personnality, and all {{spoiler|having a role in the aforemented datable girl's storyline}}.

* Nearly everyone in ''[[Rokudenashi Blues]]'' is a delinquent, although the main characters try not to pick fights.

* Pretty much everybody in ''[[Cromartie High School]]'' is a delinquent, although they split their time equally between having [[Seinfeldian Conversation|odd conversations]] and fighting rival schools.

* Ichiko from ''Shimotsuma Monogatari'' (released in the US as ''Kamikaze Girls'').

* Most of the cast from ''Crows Zero'' and ''Crows Zero 2'' (both loose adaptations by Takashi Miike of the manga ''Crows'')

* Gentaro Kisaragi of ''[[Kamen Rider Fourze]]'' is ostensibly one of these, though he doesn't belong to a gang and is actually a very friendly guy. He more than fills the '[[Anime Hair|ridiculous hair]]' and 'good at fighting' requirements, though.

** In ''[[Kamen Rider the Next]],'' [[The Hero|Takeshi Hongo]] has an ''epically'' rowdy class that would fit right in in any [[Save Our Students]] film. They get less rowdy when they see him {{spoiler|stopping cars and motorcycles with his bare hands, ''unsuited''}}. Now ''that'll'' [[Scare'Em Straight]].

* Dump Matsumoto and her gang from [[All Japan Women's Pro Wrestling]] in the 80s.

* "Banchou" from ''[[Gate Keepers]]''. Subverted in that he looks and talks like a delinquent but acts more like a [[Love Freak]].

* Daigo Kazama, Eiji "Edge" Yamada and Gan Isurugi from ''[[Rival Schools]]''. Of course, the school they attend is [[Planet of Hats|nothing]] ''[[Planet of Hats|but]]'' [[Planet of Hats|deliquents]].

* Japanese singer Nanase Aikawa is known for being a former sukeban. Her music was/is popular with bousouzoku.

* The members of the band Blankey Jet City were bousouzoku in their youth.
