With a cigarette hanging from his lips, Yoshito Kikuchi’s wide-eyed expression of shock captures a rare moment of surprise from someone usually so calm and collected.

Personality

Yoshito is highly intelligent, with an IQ of 180, making him one of the most promising students in Class 3-4. He is thoughtful and analytical, preferring to approach situations logically rather than emotionally. Despite being one of the more reserved members of the class, Yoshito’s curiosity about Eikichi Onizuka’s teaching methods leads him to form a friendship with the unconventional teacher. His calm and rational personality provides a contrast to the more rebellious students in the class, allowing him to navigate the chaotic environment with a sense of control.
