A series of free-roaming beat-em-up games for the [[PSPlayStation 2]] and PSP, where you play a delinquent Japanese high school student looking to become a ''bancho'', or "ringleader". To that end, you run around beating people up, learn new fighting techniques, and try to impress girls.
 
The third game in the series, for the PSP, is being released in English by Atlus under the title ''Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble''.

=== Tropes: ===
* [[Can't Get Away Withwith Nuthin']]: Just try and do any of the shabai things mentioned on the website. You will regret it if you ever get to Shabazo or Shabazo King "rankings".
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Defeating other banchos forces them to become your peon. It's forced, but they're still very quick to praise you for defeating them.
* [[Delinquents]]: Of course!
Line 17:
* [[Rule of Cool]]: The premise of the game and many in-game elements revolve around this.
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Oh so many instances. Easily deserves its own folder.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Plenty, especially during the Smash Talks. What You're Supposed To Say: "Go to Hell!" The Messup: "Heaven to Hell!" The response as your enemy nails your head in? [[Guilty Gear (Video Game)|"Let's Rock!"]] Some of the "hidden smashes" have [[Shout-Out|shout outs]] as well, including lines like "[[Fear and Loathing Inin Las Vegas|Don't stop! This is bat country!]]" and even "[[Metal Wolf Chaos|Suck my missile punch!]]"
** [[The Secret of Monkey Island|Look!! A Three-Headed Monkey!!]]
* [[Virtual Paper Doll]]: Your Bancho starts out with a pre-set look. However, once you go to the barber and tailor, you can purchase various options to customize him with varying consequences (certain clothes have less pockets than others).
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]: Nearly every day on the trip, your class heads off to "some boring shrine or another". The game very rarely forces you to do anything, outside of two unskippable cutscene-started fights. You can just roam around town, picking fights, finding [[UF OsUFOs]], or pretty much whatever you want. "Or just stay in your room all week; see if I care."
** There's an award from going straight to your room from the very beginning and fast-forwarding all the way to the end of the week, emerging only for mandatory story events.
