Tatsuya Himekawa

"Himekawa" redirects here. For other uses, see Himekawa (disambiguation).

is one of the Tohoshinki. He was at Ishiyama High before the school was destroyed by Oga.

He is the son of the "Himekawa Group", a financial zaibatsu, a third-year student and the second member of the Tohoshinki. Using money to solve his problems, he bribes friends and enemies into his employment, often turning the tables on dissident challengers by co-opting the latter's own friends against them.

Appearance


Himekawa wears his hair in a pompadour reminiscent of a stereotypical Japanese delinquent and wears a Hawaii shirt.

He is shown to be quite handsome without his glasses and with his hair brushed down, which makes him look like a completely different person (his eyes even become larger).

Personality
Due to being the son of the boss of a conglomerate, he is very arrogant and condescending. He views people as trivial and believes that money can solve anything. After losing his gang, and later at St. Ishiyama, his character also evolves in a more positive fashion, and he starts, like Kanzaki, to show some loyalty to his colleagues, even stopping an attack of Sakaki Mitsuteru against an unarmed Kunieda.

He is quite easily the most dishonorable member of the four, using weapons such as stun batons. During online gaming, he does have a sense of honor and plays by the rules, at least until the opponent cheats, to which he plans of giving them their just retribution.

Abilities
Although he has proven to be a powerful fighter, Himekawa uses underhand tactics to prevail, such as having his opponents break their fists by punching a ceramic tile shield hidden under his shirt, or electrocuting them with a shock-baton (both are shown to be useless against Oga). Even for the standards of upper class families, Himekawa is granted extravagant means by his family: he rents several floors of an elite condominium building all for himself. His strategic skills prove useful when he clinches a deal with St. Ishiyama's teachers to prevent his and his colleagues' expulsion.

Plot
===Touhoushinki Arc === He kidnapes Hilda and Furuichi to use them as hostages for capturing Oga.He confronts with Oga, but easily defeated by Oga and Beelzebub IV.
