After learning about the [[Gang Dispute|deaths]] of the Tachibana siblings, one of which was his girlfriend [[Hinata Tachibana]], Takemichi time-leaps exactly twelve years back in time. Through his time-leaping ability, he learns about the infamous [[Tokyo Manji Gang]], a middle school biker gang in the past that is responsible for Hina’s death in the present. After unintentionally rescuing Hina’s younger brother [[Naoto Tachibana]] from the incident, Takemichi becomes determined to work with him to save Hina from an unfavorable future. During his time leaps, Takemichi uncovers the Tokyo Manji Gang's history and how it was shaped into becoming a criminal organization in the present. Takemichi becomes a member of the gang and soon, the {{Nihongo|First Division Captain|{{Ruby|壱番隊|いちばんたい}}{{Ruby|隊長|たいちょう}}|Ichiban-tai Taichō}}. His involvement in Toman would later serve as a way for him to become the {{Nihongo|leader|{{Ruby|総長|そうちょう}}|Sōchō}} of the 11th Generation [[Black Dragon]] in 2006. Two years later, he becomes the leader of the Second Generation Tokyo Manji Gang. In his [[20th Time Leap|final time leap]], he becomes the {{Nihongo|Deputy President|{{Ruby|総長|そうちょう}}{{Ruby|代理|だいり}}|Sōchō Dairi}} of Toman. == Appearance == Takemichi stands at an average height with a light complexion. He has bleached yellow hair kept in a faux hawk but sometimes has it down in a tousled style. He bears blue/gray eyes both in the anime and manga. He has a scar on his left hand from a stab wound and another scar on his left foot from a bullet wound, although it is never shown.{{ref|chap = 166|page = 13}} He usually wears either his high school uniform consisting of a white button-up and dark pants, or his gang attire comprising of a black ''tokkō-fuku'' with the Toman logo and manifesto woven on the sides and [[Keisuke Baji]]'s white sash. He also wears a matching clover necklace with Hina.{{ref|chap = 99|page = 18}} In the final time leap, Takemichi always keeps his hair tousled. In 2005, Takemichi wore the Mizo Middle School uniform, which consisted of a white dress shirt with a black blazer, black slacks, and loafers. As an adult, Takemichi has tousled wavy black hair. He wears plain casual clothes, and sometimes his work uniform from the [[CD DVD Rental Store]]. In an [[12th Time Leap|alternate timeline]], Takemichi has slicked back black hair. He wears a striped suit. Takemichi Hanagaki (2005 Full body - Anime).png|Takemichi's anime appearance in the past Takemichi Hanagaki (2017 Full body - Anime).png|Takemichi's anime appearance in the present == Personality == [[File:Takemichi beaten up (anime).png|thumb|left|Takemichi's tendency to cry.|220px]] Takemichi was an individual who has lost his sense of direction. Thus, he had low self-esteem, always apologizing for even the smallest things and easily crying. As noted by those around him and even himself, all he is good for is apologizing. He also holds a grudge towards wealthy people because he himself is not very financially stable.{{Ref|chap = 1}} Takemichi has often reflect and think about on how he went wrong and how he end kept running away to point of self loathing. However, going back in time again and again gradually molds Takemichi into a completely different person resolving to save his love one and preventing the worst possible future. Slowly, he turns from a coward into a man with unshakable conviction. Even facing insurmountable odds, he refuses to back down. He becomes the one who holds Toman together through their hardships and turns into its unofficial leader, guiding even [[Manjiro Sano|Mikey]] and [[Ken Ryuguji|Draken]] onto the right paths. During even Toman's lowest points, it is Takemichi's unyielding spirit that pushes on his fellow companions. [[File:Takemichi challenges Kiyomasa (anime).png|thumb|right|Takemichi's unwavering spirit to protect his friends.|220px]] Takemichi is completely loyal to those he considers his friends and fiercely protective of them. He is willing to risk his very life to ensure that they are safe and sound. This loyalty spurs his determination to create a better future for the ones he cares about. This is shown through his countless leaps back in time to change the gruesome outcome of his loved ones. In a fight, Takemichi has never backed down. He is more willing to be beaten within an inch of his life than to admit defeat. This has become a huge source of inspiration for Toman's members and has proven instrumental even against all odds. Takemichi is noted to be very similar in personality to [[Shinichiro Sano]] with Draken pointing out both are "weak to women, weak at fights, but reliable". Due to being mentally an adult when he time leaps 12 years into the past, Takemichi tends to address others more politely. Takemichi is very emotional often crying a lot and easily express how he feels when he fails and mess up in trying to change the future. He blame himself for not being able to do anything despite knowing what will happen such failing to prevent Baji's death or preventing Mikey becoming a murderer. Takemichi has horrible hygiene and habits as he neglects cleaning his room and has become accustomed to its disgusting state. == Skills and Abilities == === Authority === As a captain in Toman, Takemichi has power over his squadron and can lead them as he wishes. His outstanding leadership has been instrumental in strengthening Toman as a whole. === Charisma === Takemichi is noted by many people to possess an extensive charisma similar to [[Shinichiro Sano]]. He has constantly inspired Toman members throughout every fight. His charisma is more prominent after the [[Kanto Incident]] and was fought over by top delinquents to have him on their respective teams. === Reputation === Over the course of the series, Takemichi has seen a notorious rise in his name. As he travels to the past and gets himself involved in many fairly dangerous incidents and elevates his status inside of Toman, it has greatly bolstered his delinquent career in stark contrast with his fighting ability. As his many exploits and feats have become public knowledge within the delinquent world, it has granted him an elevated status to the point he was a target for recruitment by some of the most infamous gangs after the [[Tokyo Civil War Era|Tokyo Sengoku Period]]. Despite lacking the fighting aptitude normally associated with one with such a historical, those who have witnessed him are fairly aware of Takemichi's character including many just as infamous and more powerful delinquents, which further propels his image. When he openly declared his intentions to defeat the infamous [[Manjiro Sano|Mikey]] when surrounded by both [[Brahman]] and [[Rokuhara Tandai]], there was not the tiniest shred of doubt among the central figures from either nor from [[Ken Ryuguji|Draken]] or [[Seishu Inui]], a testament that they believe he is capable of such a nigh impossible feat. The only exception being [[South Terano]] likely by virtue of personally not knowing Takemichi himself. === Endurance === Takemichi is nowhere near the strongest fighter, but he is noted to be one of the, if not the most, resilient fighters thus far. He has been shown to take blows that would have knocked cold anyone else and still stand up and even retaliate. Among his greatest demonstrations of durability include, but are not limited to: Being stabbed in his hand with a knife and still being able to fight competently and defeat a much stronger enemy; Taking a bullet to the foot and still being able to run in pursuit of his enemy; Getting ambushed with a brick to his head to fundamentally no effect, even though he was already beaten to a bloody pulp. Thus, his willpower and ability to take hits are his forte. === Fighting Prowess === Takemichi is quite lacking in his attack power. His strength and fighting abilities are around the average delinquent's. Rarely has he won by himself, but his resilience has stalled enemies enough to allow more powerful allies time to rush to the scene countless times. If the situation is desperate enough, his willpower makes it nigh impossible to knock him down and allows him to significantly weaken foes stronger than him through exhaustion. Takemichi's strength scales depending on how high the stakes are. Normally, he has trouble against a few regular delinquents, but he has temporarily knocked down an incredibly strong [[Taiju Shiba|fighter]] in his desperation before. His fighting abilities have nonetheless, been shown to improve over time. Nonetheless, Takemichi lacks finesse and technique in his approach even downright resorting to methods considered disgraceful such as biting. He is later capable of overwhelming the likes of [[Tetta Kisaki]] in a one-on-one fight, and even kicking the gun Kisaki held at Takemichi out of his hands before he could even react, and all of that, despite being previously beaten to an inch of his life and having a gunshot on his foot. He is also capable fighting on par with [[Kakucho]], where he sent the latter flying with a single punch during his fight against Kanto Manji. === Time Travel === [[File:Takemichi suggests shaking hands (manga).png|thumb|left|220|Takemichi requires a handshake with a trigger person to time leap.]] Takemichi possesses a supernatural skill that allows him to time travel. However, he is only able to travel back exactly 12 years. Also, whenever he is in the past, the present timeline does not stop, but keeps going for however long Takemichi is in the past. To trigger this ability, he must shake hands with [[Naoto Tachibana]] in the present to go back to the past and shake hands with him in the past to go back to the present. Whatever Takemichi does has an impact on the present, which allows him to change the future. This time leaping ability has several side effects, for one it causes memory lapses to occur. When Takemichi travels to the past, he often finds himself in situations he does not understand, as his past self still lived his life normally with Takemichi having to piece together how he came to where he is and what he was doing. The same holds true when he jumps back into the present, whether this has changed or not Takemichi awakens with no knowledge of what he was doing at that point in time. Another effect involves his own persona since his present and past selves are comparably different despite being the same person. Many note that Takemichi acts more mature at certain intervals and wonder about his drastic personality changes. Whenever Takemichi travels to the past, he is in full control of his body and is the dominant entity. It is not known if his past self has any awareness of his future self's time-traveling abilities or whether the past self remains conscious or aware of any of the actions of his future self when it takes over. This ability to travel in time triggers based on a strong, mutual desire to change specific events in the past to alter the future. When Naoto no longer had any major inclination to change time as he had achieved his goals, Takemichi was unable to travel in time. This ability to travel in time is not limited exclusively to Naoto, but can be triggered by shaking the hands of another individual with whom he shares a strong desire to change events. As of the [[Final Arc]], Takemichi is capable of time leaping by shaking hands with [[Manjiro Sano|Mikey]], however, in this case, he is only able to travel back 10 years into the past. Although this difference in time leaping ability is not fully explained as of yet, it can be hinted that Takemichi can leap only at the precise point of time where his actions can have the greatest impact. Even though the effects of his interventions on the timeline seem to occur immediately after Takemichi alters certain aspects, the full extent of what has changed is not immediately known to either Takemichi or Naoto. In fact, whenever Takemichi alters the timeline, Naoto is ignorant of any change that occurred, and lives his life normally, as if the time leaping never existed in the first place. It is only when Takemichi travels back into the present that Naoto remembers about the time leaping, thus serving as an instant alert to Naoto that Takemichi has returned. It can be argued that the reverse is true, when Takemichi travels to the past, the past version of the people whom he shook hands with will sense him too. Although Naoto is not seen knowing this, the past Mikey was able to sense that Takemichi was back in the past. There is a significant limitation to this power, however. In order for Takemichi to time leap back into the present, both he and the person he shook hands with must be alive. If either is dead, then Takemichi is effectively stuck in the past no matter how many times he shakes hands with the person in the present. When this happens his only means to return to the present is by changing the timeline so that both people will live in the present. It is revealed that he inherited this power from his predecessor, [[Shinichiro Sano]], in the current timeline after the latter successfully saved his younger brother, Mikey from an accident in the past, and saved both Takemichi and [[Hinata Tachibana|Hina]] from middle school bullies, few months before Shinichiro is accidentally killed by [[Kazutora Hanemiya]]. Takemichi first awakened this power in the first timeline of Kisaki's reign involving Hina's first death.{{Ref|chap = 273}} === Foresight === [[File:Takemichi blocks Mikey (manga).png|thumb|220|Takemichi using his foresight to block one of Mikey's attacks.]] After meeting up with [[Senju Kawaragi]], Takemichi sees a future vision of her demise. The triggers for this power are unknown. He also felt her blood on his hands and clothing. An extension of this power of his was already foreshadowed previously as he had been able at times to catch glimpses of events he himself had no knowledge of but that had already occurred, such as [[Manjiro Sano|Mikey]] murdering [[Kazutora Hanemiya]] during the [[Bloody Halloween]] or when [[Hinata Tachibana]] rejected [[Tetta Kisaki]] whenever he confessed to her.{{Ref|chap = 48|pages = 16 - 18}}{{Ref|chap = 182|page = 1}} During [[Takemichi Hanagaki vs. Manjiro Sano: Rematch|his rematch with Manjiro Sano]], Takemichi's ability to see the future has improved to the point that he can predict Mikey's sudden movements.{{Ref|chap = 266|page = 17}} == Appearances == {{Appearances|Chapters| === [[Toman Arc]] === * Chapter 1 -
