Baji, Keisuke

Baji Keisuke is a childhood friend of Mikey's who started Toman and is the commander of its first division.

Baji is first shown to the viewer when Takemichi is taken to Valhalla headquarters by Kazutora. Baji is about to beat up his close friend and vice commander Chifuyu in front of the assembled Valhalla crew to prove his loyalty. Takemichi was previously ordered by Mikey to bring Baji back, as he had apparently betrayed Toman to join Valhalla. Baji refuses to go back to Toman even after Takemichi tries to get him to return. He himself says that his motives are that he hates Toman and never wants to go back to the gang. Even when his closest confidant Chifuyu tries to talk him into it, he does not change his mind. Later, Baji's motives are explained in more detail.

Later, it turns out that Baji was initially the only one who saw through Kisaki's plan to destroy the real Toman and come out on top together with Mikey. He already suspected that the invisible brain and leader of Valhalla is actually Kisaki. For this reason, he infiltrates Valhalla to somehow foil Kisaki's plans. Although Takemichi claims to know this as well and tries to ally with Baji, Baji denies everything, presumably so as not to involve anyone else in the matter. At the Bloody Halloween fight between Toman and Valhalla, Baji confronts Kisaki to get him out of the way. However, Kazutora has already been manipulated by Kisaki into killing Baji. Although Takemichi is already aware of this from the future, he fails to stop Kazutora from attacking Baji with a knife. Although Baji is stabbed, he does not kneel down, but continues to advance towards Kisaki, but finally collapses in his face. Baji fails to withstand the fatal injury and dies moments later in the arms of his best friend Chifuyu.
