Tohoshinki (from left to right): Tojou, Kunieda, Kanzaki and Himekawa.
The Tōhōshinki (東邦神姫, Tōhōshinki), originally written as Tōhōshinki (東邦神鬼, Tōhōshinki), are the four strongest people of their school, Ishiyama High School. The group consists of Hajime Kanzaki, Tatsuya Himekawa, Aoi Kunieda, and Hidetora Tōjō. These four ran the school but out of the four, at least before the start of the series, the one closest to running the whole school was Hajime.
It is unknown if they will change their name if someone else joins.
Tatsumi Oga decided to face them all as he believes that whoever is the strongest might accept and parent Baby Be'el. As Oga defeats each one of them, he realizes that none of them are stronger than him. Even though they lost to Oga, they are still feared by many delinquents and their reputations are so infamous that other schools and city gangs fear them. Their reputation causes many gangs either try to avoid them or fight them to prove that they are the stronger than them.
Misao Onizuka is a former Tōhōshinki from Ishiyama. He was succeeded by Tatsuya Himekawa.
Origin of the Title
Tōhōshinki is an acronym of their respective last names, Tōjō (東条, Tōjō), Kunieda (邦枝, Kunieda), Kanzaki (神崎, Kanzaki), and Himekawa (姫川, Himekawa)).
