Meet the characters from Wind Breaker

Touma Hiiragi

Touma is the kind of impossible, bright-eyed protagonist who drags everyone into trouble with a grin and somehow makes it look heroic. He’s endlessly optimistic and stubborn as a brick wall — will not back down, even if he should, and yes he learns the hard way a lot. There’s this annoying but lovable mix of impulsive energy and a strangely strategic brain that pops up when it matters, like he’s half adrenaline and half weirdly-timed insights. He claims he hates sweets but will absolutely demolish a cream puff at midnight, and also will probably be the first to start a group chant for no good reason.

Akihiko Nirei

Akihiko is the cool, slick rival type who gives off a chill vibe but is low-key terrifying in practice — precise, focused, and a tiny bit ruthless. He’s the kind of person who plans three moves ahead and then acts like it was effortless, which only makes him more infuriating to everyone else. Don’t be fooled by the calm face; there are these tiny, oddly sweet hobbies (toy cars? nostalgic playlists?) that catch you off guard when he lets them slip. He’s the ace who hustles quietly and makes dramatic wins look like a nap.

Haruka Sakura

Haruka is sunshine with a clipboard — equal parts cheerleader and logistical mastermind, and somehow both encouraging and terrifying when she sets a goal. She organizes, motivates, nags lovingly, and then surprises you by being the one to stay up late fixing everyone’s messes, sometimes while eating stale cookies. She’s soft-hearted but stubborn, and won’t hesitate to call someone out if they’re slacking (and will follow that up with homemade bento like nothing happened). Also, she has a habit of doodling tiny hearts on things she absolutely insists are totally professional.

Kyoutarou Sugishita

Kyoutarou is the quiet brain, the kind of strategist who watches three laps and already knows the whole map of who’ll flinch and where to push. He talks rarely but when he does it lands like a plot twist — sharp, observant, and slightly unnerving, in a good way. There’s this nerdy little streak where he collects weird statistics and once memorized everyone’s sandwich preferences for reasons unclear to anyone but him. He’s calm, a little cryptic, and secretly the glue that saves half the team from impulsive chaos.

Hayato Suou

Hayato is loud, brash, and 100% energy — the powerhouse who yells first and thinks later, but also shows up when it counts and hugs it out after the storm. He’s a classic hothead with a surprisingly soft center; he’ll fight you over pride and then bake you a pie because emotions are complicated, okay? He claims to hate slow songs but cries at ballads in the shower (no receipts, maybe lots of receipts), and he also has this ridiculous habit of naming inanimate objects. He’s the kind of chaotic good that keeps everyone honest and entertained, whether they like it or not.

Hajime Umemiya

Hajime is the reliable calm in the middle of nonsense — steady, dependable, slightly sardonic, and probably the person everyone texts at 3 a.m. asking what to do. He’s practical, very patient, and will give you blunt advice that somehow always helps, then act surprised when you thank him. There’s a goofy side too — he’s into obscure comics and can be childish over tiny victories, which makes him endearing and mildly ridiculous at team celebrations. He’s the unsung support pillar: boring on paper, essential in reality, and secretly hoards snacks in his locker like a squirrel.
