Maiharu Gansoku

Maiharu Gansoku stands out among the tattooed inmates of Abashiri Prison as a man who chose to live in the shadows of Sakhalin, reigning supreme as the undisputed king of Stenka, a brutal form of bare-handed combat. His extraordinary physical resilience and near-superhuman tolerance for punishment make him a force of nature on the battlefield. To Gansoku, fighting is not an act of aggression but a profound means of connecting with another person's soul. After an intense clash with Sugimoto and his companions, an unlikely bond was forged through the heat of battle. Off the battlefield, he carries himself with an easygoing, almost gentlemanly demeanor—a straightforward man driven purely by the love of honest, raw combat.
