Tetta Kisaki is the main antagonist of the Japanese anime and manga series Tokyo Revengers.
He is a manipulative, deceitful gangster who is on hellbent becoming the leader of the Tokyo Manji Gang and turning it into the largest criminal organization in Japan. This made him the personal archenemy of Takemichi Hanagaki, Manjiro "Mikey" Sano, and Ken "Draken" Ryuguji, as he is responsible for many of the tragedies that occur in the story, including the deaths of Hinata Tachibana, Keisuke Baji, and more.
However, following Takemichi and Mikey's final time leap at the same time, Kisaki reformed and is invited by Takemichi to be one of the founding nine of Tokyo Manji Gang, alongside Haruchiyo Sanzu (initially reluctantly invited by Mikey), thus averting their respective darkest paths.
In the anime, he is voiced by Showtaro Morikubo (also voiced Zagred from Black Clover, the other Brother Spider from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, and Akira Otoishi from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable) in Japanese and Nicolas Roye in English. In the live-action film, he was portrayed by Shotaro Mamiya.
Personality[]
“ | Takemichi: Kisaki... That guy... Please expel him from Toman! Mikey: Hah? Takemichi: Why did you let a guy like him join Toman? I can't explain why, but he's bad news! He... Kisaki... He'll surely ruin Toman in the future! |

Tetta Kisaki is described as a very ambitious yet cunning, heartless, arrogant, remorseless, and sadistic individual who will stop at nothing until he achieves what he wants: to become a leader of the Tokyo Manji Gang, as well as his ultimate goal of becoming the most dangerous criminal within Japan.
Despite his lack of physical strength, he's still highly dangerous due to his above-average intelligence. His remarkable charisma makes it easier for him to manipulate his way to the top. He's exceptionally patient, willing to wait decades to go through with these plans. He keeps his true intentions behind a friendly façade, tricking several people.
Kisaki cares little about his subordinates and superiors and sees everyone around him as tools, objects that are easy to manipulate in order to reach his goals. He's willing to betray his allies without a second thought, even going as far as shooting Izana while working with Tenjiku. He doesn't shy away from murder if someone is in his way, no matter who they might be.
Even though he grew up to be ruthless, as a child he's shown to have been timid and insecure about himself. The first person to ever treat him kindly was Hinata Tachibana. He quickly developed a crush on her but she already had feelings for Hanagaki Takemichi. His jealousy and obsession with the two send him plotting for revenge. After overhearing Takemichi's dream to become a famous delinquent he decides to step on that path as well, planning to win Tachibana's heart on the way. After his proposal is rejected by Tachibana it becomes clear he's not in love. He's deeply obsessed with the idea of Tachibana and sees her as a trophy that symbolizes his victory.
Each time he finds a new target to manipulate he uses their dire situations against them: he provokes Pah-chin into attacking Osanai by mentioning the assault of his friends, let alone being the one who staged it, and he talks Yuzuha Shiba into standing up against her brother's abuse and even provides her with a knife. He clearly sees both of them as tools, not having any real empathy for either of them.
Following the 20th and final time-leap, Kisaki's manipulative nature and his unhealthy obsession with Hina have ceased to exist. As a result, the Kisaki in the third timeline is nothing like the original Kisaki but rather more nicer and friendly, even as an adult, he seemingly supports Takemichi and Hina's relationship as he is one of the guests invited to their wedding.
Appearance[]
He's a man of average height. In the manga, he's shown to have both blue and yellow eyes while in the anime they appear gray. As a young child and as an adult he has pale skin but in his teens, he has a deep tan.
His original hair color is black, dyed blonde in his teens. He first appears with a buzz-cut with a manji shaved into it. He has multiple hairstyles in adulthood: as a young adult he's shown to have blonde highlights and a mullet; before the Moebius arc he has a brown undercut and after the Bloody Halloween arc he seems to have dyed it blonde again.
He wears glasses and a yellow-red earring in his left ear. He's either seen wearing his gang uniforms or suits.
Abilities[]
Kisaki may not be the strongest when it comes to physical combat or his own strength but his high intelligence makes up for his shortcomings.
- Extraordinary intelligence: He's capable of manipulating anyone he deems beneficial for his plans and he figures out that Takemichi is a time leaper on his own.
- Physical prowess: His strength isn't anything special but he can still easily knock out Takemichi with a single punch. He can work a gun and other weapons.
- Authority (depending on his position): He's been part of multiple gangs and he holds a different position in all of them. He was a mere member of Moebius, the founder and acting leader of Valhalla, and the 3rd division captain of Toman. After being kicked out, he went on to become the general staff officer of Tenjiku.
Quotes[]
“ | Kisaki: Hey Takemichi. Face or stomach, which do you prefer? Takemichi: Eh, as in what? Kisaki: I recommend face. Which one? Takemichi: T-Then stoma- (Kisaki proceeds to punch Takemichi in the face as he falls to the ground and faints) Kisaki: (laughs evilly). You tighten up your stomach, didn't you? |
„ |
~ Kisaki taking his revenge after Takemichi punched him. |
“ | I know Mikey the best, I am certain of that. You don't necessarily need "brains" to stand above everyone, you need to have the "looks" and for Mikey, his looks are the absolute "medium" to stand above everyone. He can't hang out with the rest of the current Toman. It's a waste of his potential. Therefore it is necessary for me to fix this. | „ |
~ Kisaki to Izana before explaining his plans. |
“ | Takemichi: Kisaki! Kisaki: Takemichi Hanagaki. Takemichi: This long battle! Let's end it here! Kisaki: Today! Let's settle this once and for all! |
„ |
~ Kisaki and Takemichi declaring war against each other as the battle between Toman and Tenjiku starts. |
Trivia[]
- It was theorized that he himself was a time leaper, as he seemed to know about time leaping. However, it was debunked in-universe by Takemichi as he thought it was impossible for Kisaki to time-leap without someone with a motivational goal and connection, as demonstrated by Takemichi and Naoto themselves. It was even left ambiguous with Kisaki's very last words about time-leaping before he was crushed by a truck.
- He is the second character Takemichi had to defeat on his own, although briefly, with the very first being Masataka Kiyomizu.
- Kisaki can be seen as the dark counterpart to Takemichi, as both are rookie gangsters who aim to become the top upon joining Toman. The only difference between them is that Takemichi aims to become a high rank in Toman to save others and is always determined, while Kisaki on the other hand aims to take over Toman just so he could be in power to impress Hinata under selfish desire and is a coward who manipulates others to do his dirty work for him. Kisaki saw Takemichi as the "Hero" due to his determination and bravery while Kisaki was considered to be the "Dark Hero" due to his deceitfulness and selfishness.
- He has been either the main or overarching antagonist in each arc (with the exeption of the 3 Deities and Kanto Manji Gang arcs). He was the main antagonist in the Valhalla, Black Dragon and Tenjiku arcs. He is the overarching antagonist of the Toman, Moebius, and Bonten arcs.
- He is by far the smartest character in the series, being able to outsmart the likes of Takemichi, Noato, Chifuyu,... at every turn and being the only character to figure out on his own that Takemichi was a time leaper.
