Takayuki Furuichi

[Edit]
Furuichi Takayuki is a kind and passive person who, unlike his best friend Oga Tatsumi seems to dislike fighting. Even though he is a very serious person, he usually ends up being the target of most of the manga's pranks. He is also tries to be ladies man, although he is ultimately unsuccessful.

Furuichi seems to be the only non-delinquent character of the story thus far, and even seems to have no fighting ability. He often points out the absurdities in Oga's situation, acting as the rational and most passive member of the group. He is chronically cowardly, although he is quick to about face when a pretty girl is involved. Despite their obvious lack of similarities, Furuichi seems to be Oga's only friend, and is often the one that Oga goes to for conversation. He is comically referred to as "idiot Furuichi" by Oga, and is often the victim of many jokes in the story, although he is shown to have a ruthless side to him as well, suggesting a different but no less evil commonality with Oga. Despite the nickname, Furuichi is shown to be highly strategic. It is also remarked that his grades would have easily gotten him into a high class school.

Furuichi often complains about Oga, stating that just because he hangs around with him, people take him for a delinquent as well. Yet despite their numerous differences, he and Oga appear to be quite close. Also, like Oga, he is a fan of Dragon Quest.
