Bouya Harumichi stands as the main protagonist in the manga series "Crows," where he held an influential position at Suzuran as the de facto leader of the Harumichi Family. He shares a deep bond of brotherhood with Furukawa Osamu.

Personality

Harumichi is characterized by his distinctive lone wolf demeanor, often displaying an unburdened and carefree attitude. Despite his seemingly carefree nature, he takes immense pride in his identity as a crow, viewing it as a symbol of freedom, in contrast to a caged bird devoid of flight. His protective nature extends to his friends, and he's lauded as one of the most formidable figures to have graced Suzuran.

In his early days, he harbored serious delinquent aspirations, but a pivotal incident reshaped his outlook. His carefree exterior conceals a readiness to become deadly serious when circumstances demand, readily confronting challenges head-on.

Bouya's loyalty and compassion for friends are evident, demonstrated by his unwavering support and intervention even when facing former foes. This complex relationship is exemplified by his interactions with Rindaman, where mutual respect intertwines with their recurring clashes.

Plot

Grade School

During his sixth-grade year, Bouya made a lasting impression by decisively overcoming a group of middle schoolers, earning him the moniker "Marubou" from his homeroom teacher. [1]

Kikyou Mid

In his first year of middle school, Bouya's leadership prowess became evident as he ascended to the role of boss in two separate schools, commanding respect even from his senior counterparts. An incident unfolded where he found himself isolated, confronting four older high-schoolers. The ensuing confrontation left Bouya incensed, leading to an attempt by his followers to avenge him. Tragically, this endeavor resulted in one of his companions losing an eye.

Bouya's middle school journey after that incident was marked by a series of transfers. His final stop in middle school aligned fatefully with Zetton's, and it was here that Bouya made waves in an audacious display of defiance. Bouya's impulsive headbutt rendered a perverted vice principal unconscious, an event etched into local lore as "The Legend of Dende." The aftermath saw Bouya carry out a daring rooftop display, hanging the disgraced vice principal upside down after stripping him bare. This audacious act became a lasting legend, passed down to future generations [2].

While Bouya predominantly sought peace, his reputation consistently beckoned challenges from rival school bosses in the vicinity. He navigated these confrontations with a solitary resolve, emerging as the undeniable overseer of multiple middle schools in the region. His influence was such that his peers bestowed upon him the title of "boss," a moniker that reflected his role as both protector and figurehead. Despite his commanding stature, frustration with this dynamic eventually prompted Bouya's departure from the school, leading him to vanish for a period before resurfacing within the hallowed halls of Suzuran [3].

Suzuran

Sophomore

Bouya transferred into Suzuran during the second semester of his second year. He first appears when Yasu is being picked on by Akutsu Futoshi and his gang on the way to Suzuran by train. When Yasu drops his wallet and Bouya picks it up, he finds a picture of a pretty girl [4], telling Yasu that he will protect him [5]. However, Bouya accidentally hits his head on the hand rail in the train making Yasu and Akutsu think he is weak [6].

Before school starts, Bouya has a meeting with his teacher [7]. while sitting in the meeting room, he saw a teacher talking to a naked student who turns out to be Yasu from the train [8]. When they both see each other, Bouya asks what happened [9]. Yasu gets angry with him and tells him Akutsu and his gang beat him and took his clothes [10]. When Bouya asks who is the girl in the photo inside the wallet, Yasu tells him it's his older sister [11]. This fires up Bouya who tells Yasu that he will get revenge for him [12].

In Bouya's first class, Hiromi makes fun of Bouya's blonde hair [13], which results in Bouya throwing his shoe at Hiromi's face [14], much to the fear of everyone in the class. After the class finished, Bouya saw Akutsu walking in the hall way with his gang and follows after him [15]. When Bouya leaves the class to follow him, Hiromi follows after Bouya [16], intending to take him out. When Akutsu and his gang enter the toilets, Bouya announces himself to them [17]. However, unknown to Bouya, Hiromi is standing behind him. Hiromi repeatedly strikes Bouya from behind [18]. However, Bouya gets up to the surprise of Hiromi and the others and knocks out Hiromi out of the toilets with a single punch [19], much to the suprise of Akutsu and his gang [20]. Akutsu, believing Bouya can't take out the five of them, still charge after Bouya, only to all five of them getting beaten and returning the stolen clothes to Yasu [21]. While talking with Yasu, and becoming friends, Bouya says his famous line in the crows manga [22],

''What's wrong with crows? Compared to a poor bird that's been caged and forgotten how to fly, this is much better. I'm fine with being a crow''

After that, Bouya declares Yasu as his first underling [23].

After Hiromi’s defeat to Bouya, Pon and Mako flip a coin to decide who will fight Bouya to avenge Hiromi [24]. Pon and Mako find Bouya and walk with him to the school yard where Mako challenges Bouya to a fight [25]. Bouya easily gets distracted when he accidentally drops the photo of Yasu’s sister [26]. Trying to look for the photo on the ground, Mako appears to be beating him roughly; however, once Bouya found the photo, he gets up of the ground and quickly retrieves the photo again , much to the surprise of Pon and Akutsu that he can still move as if nothing has happened to him [27]. With the photo safely in his pocket, Bouya turns towards Mako and fly kicks him, sending him across the yard knocked out [28]. Hiromi arrives just as the fight ended [29] and asked Bouya, who he is [30]. Bouya replies that he is like him, but he hasn’t strayed from the right path and that he is not rebellious and neither a delinquent or villain [31]. Akutsu, who was watching the fight, shakes in fear and tells his subordinates that Suzuran will change since an amazing student has appeared [32].

When Bouya and Yasu were walking home, and exhausted Pon finds them and asks Bouya if he could borrow his power [33]. Pon explains that Mako is trapped by Senda and that Bandou would have gotten Hiromi [34]. Bouya tells him that he doesn’t care and it’s their problem [35]. This angers Yasu who fly kicks Bouya [36] and tells him that he is the worst and that he would never introduce his sister to Bouya [37]. This persuades Bouya to help Pon [38]. After stealing a motor bike [39], Pon and Bouya go to the 3rd park of South City where Mako was trapped by Senda and his underlings in the toilet. When they arrive, they find that the toilets are empty [40]. However, Senda appears behind them throws a barely conscious Mako at them [41]. Angered, Pon gets up to fight Senda, but Bouya holds him back and tells him to take Mako and that he will fight Senda [42]. Senda runs outside and Bouya follows [43]. Unknown to Bouya, Senda had his underlings waiting outside. When Pon tells him that he will help, Bouya refuses and gives the keys of the stolen motorbike to Pon to take Mako to the hospital and that he will handle Senda and his underlings himself [44]. When Bouya walks outside, he tells them to come at him. When the underlings run at him, Bouya pulls himself on the roof of the toilet and runs back. The underlings think he running behind the toilet and all go around the toilet to reach the other side. However Bouya jumps back down at the front of the toilet and runs towards Senda who is by himself. He knocks out Senda with one punch which sends him flying across the park [45]. Bouya turns towards Senda’s underlings who run away in fear [46].

The next day, Yasu takes Bouya to the hospital to see Mako and Hiromi [47]. Bouya tells Pon to hide for a while as Hideto Bandou would now come at him in full force and that it is likely that both Yasu and Bouya are now targets as well [48]. After joking around with the nurse at the hospital, Bouya has a concerned look on his face when he sees Pon ride off on his motorcycle. Bouya and Yasu are relaxing by the river as they are laying low away from Suzuran [49]. However three of Bandou’s underlings find them and tell them that Bandou wants to speak to them and order them to follow him. Bouya easily beats them up tells them to tell Bandou that if he wants something, then see him in person and insults him [50].

Yasu tells Bouya that they have to get away from here, but Bouya says he would rather settle things with Bandou [51]. When Yasu leaves to go and tell Hiromi and Mako, Yasu gets knocked off the bridge by Yamazaki [52] and Bandou appears before Bouya along with his underlings surrounding him. Bouya puts Yasu on his back and begins to take out the underlings. Yamazaki, carrying a pole, walks down towards them and went to take out Bouya while he is occupied with the underlings. When the pole is about to hit Yasu on his back, Bouya turns around and takes the full brunt of the attack. He grabs the pole from the shocked Yamazaki and tells him that he will remember him for attacking Yasu and pushes him aside as he runs away to take Yasu to the hospital [53]. After kicking a person off a motorbike and using it to escape, Bandou shouts at Bouya that him and Pon can’t hide. Bouya stops the bike and tells him that next time, he will be coming to meet him and to look forward to it [54]. A visibly shaken Yamazaki tells Bandou that no matter what, they must take out Bouya Harumichi. After dropping Yasu at the hospital, Bouya begins to walk home where unknown to him, he walks past Rindaman.

In three days, Bouya had taken out thirty people from Bandou’s faction by himself [55], scaring the lieutenants. Bouya eventually finds Yamazaki. However, Yamazaki runs away and Bouya comically chases after him. Bouya eventually corners him and knocks him out with one punch, completing his revenge for Yasu [56]. Bouya, along with Hiromi, Pon and Mako wait at the riverbed for Bandou but decide to leave to get dinner as it falls to night. However, Bandou appears and attacks Bouya from behind. Bouya just manages to dodge a fatal slash from the knife Bandou was carrying with him. Pon takes his knife out to fight Bandou, but Bouya stops him and fights Bandou with his bare hands. In the fight, Bouya disarms Bandou and beats him easily [57]. Unknown to the group, Rindaman was watching from afar [58]. After taking out the Bandou faction by himself, the Ebizuka Trio become friends with Bouya and Yasu.

After getting rid of the Bandou Faction, the T.F.O.A. declared war on Suzuran. They kidnapped Yasu to lure Bouya to a trap [59], but in the end Bouya was able to beat the whole gang including Kunou Ryuushin [60][60]. Meanwhile, he had some encounters with Rindaman and start a rivalry with him.

One day Bouya was following a girl and he met Bulldog [61]. Bulldog was going to declare himself to that girl, he was very nervous but after talking to Bouya, he got at ease as they both thought she looked like an angel [62]. After getting rejected by her, Bouya started crying for Bulldog saying he knew that feeling, they became brothers and best friends after that [63].

Bouya later secretly helped the Kurotaki Alliance against the Extreme Dragon Syndicate [64].

Later, the Bitou brothers used the Housen Academy to start a war on Suzuran and avenge their brother but also to surpass him.

They hunted down and ganged on most of Suzuran's best fighters. Bouya was the first one to get caught, getting kicked in the back over a bridge by Tatsuya Bitou [65]. It was Rindaman who convinced Tatsuya to fight Bouya again in a one-on-one and end the war.

After that war, as Rindaman's graduation were approaching, Bouya challenged him for one last fight [66].

Senior

By the time Bouya, Ryuushin, Bulldog and Tatsuya were named the Four Kings. Bulldog says people got it wrong grouping them together cause even Ryuushin and Tatsuya knew that Bouya was the strongest man in town.

Ryuushin came to Bouya ask for his help to fight against the Snake Heads [67], as they needed another strong fighter. Bouya then decided to call Tatsuya, they both didn't like because Ryuushin and Tatsuya had an old rivalry but they got along in the end. They formed the P.A.D. and after several clashes, they were able to beat the Snake Heads with the help of Harumichi Family, T.F.O.A. and Housen Killer Corps.

Bouya later discovered that a guy named Kuzugami Tatsuo beat Tatsuya, he was called the Strongest Delinquent in Japan and is at Toarushi and was hunting the New Four Kings. After he beat Zetton [68], Bouya challenged Tatsuo to a fight and won [69]. After beating him, Bouya became a legend himself, the one who beat the Strongest Delinquent, the Greatest Delinquent in Japan.

Post-Senior

Bouya was informed to repeat his senior year and he did not graduate. But he decided to move to another city in the beginning of the new school year. Before leaving, Bouya secretly left his trademark Bullshit belt buckle to Zetton.

Fighting Prowess & Strength

Bouya Harumichi stands as an extraordinary exemplar of formidable combat prowess, earning him the prestigious title of the strongest among The Four Kings within his generation. His reputation is further embellished by a pivotal distinction: he is the only individual to have battled the undefeated monster, Rindaman, culminating in an unprecedented draw. This remarkable feat not only underlines his exceptional abilities but also cements his legacy as an unparalleled force.

A testament to his unparalleled might, Bouya Harumichi boasts a distinctive accolade: his triumph over The Manji Empire's renowned titan, Kuzugami Tatsuo. This triumph elevates him above his contemporaries, situating him as the sole delinquent capable of overcoming Tatsuo's indomitable strength.

Bouya's combat philosophy echoes his mastery, as exemplified in his clash with Kunou Ryuushin where he adeptly tailors his approach to mirror his opponent's style [70]. This adaptable stratagem underscores his finesse and intuition on the battleground.

Though his overwhelming combat capabilities position him as a prime contender for Suzuran's top echelon, Bouya's disinterest in ruling sets him apart. His impetus remains rooted in his desire for unfettered freedom, rather than domination. Nevertheless, as observed by Zetton, Bouya's innate and staggering power invariably situates him at the zenith of any environment he enters, irrespective of his intentions.

Within the context of Suzuran's storied history, Bouya undeniably etches his name among its most formidable denizens. Zetton's succinct insight encapsulates this enigmatic facet: "Bouya never wants to be the boss of anyone, but unfortunately he always ends up at the top spot of wherever he goes." The town's collective acknowledgement and awe-laden apprehension mirror this sentiment, positioning Bouya as an unrivaled, indomitable force, securing his place alongside the legendary Rindaman in the town's annals.

Some of the facts and incidents that can be used as measurement for his strength are:

  • He's the only one who could fight on par with Rindaman, the man who is said to be the strongest delinquent in the whole history of Suzuran, with their first match being a draw. Their second fight ended in a similar fashion with both of them throwing a final knock-out blow simultaneously, but this time only Rindaman´s connected and promptly won him the fight.
  • Defeated the widely renown strongest delinquent in Japan at the time, Kuzugami Tatsuo.
  • Has knocked out a lot of really tough opponents in a single punch.
  • Can take on multiple opponents at the same time with ease.
  • Defeated all 13 elites of The Front of Armament and easily overpowered Kunou Ryuushin, one of the strongest men of the town, right after that.
  • Easily overpowered Tatsuya Bitou, who single-handedly defeated both Kirishima and Bandou.
  • Has defeated almost all of the characters in the Crows universe.
  • Has single-handedly taken down extremely large gangs such as The Front of Armament and Bandou Faction. Both of these gangs were at the peak of their powers.
  • The only one in the whole CrowsxWorst universe to fight against an opponent with a real katana.

Bouya's Rivals Rankings

As Bouya reached the end of his senior year, he meticulously compiled a list of his most formidable adversaries, an acknowledgment of their unparalleled tenacity and prowess in combat:

  1. Hayashida Megumi
  2. Kuzugami Tatsuo
  3. Tatsuya Bitou / Kunou Ryuushin
  4. Kishima Kochi / Mayumi Tetsuji
  5. Makoto Sugihara

Furthermore, Bouya acknowledges the potential of a formidable Furukawa Osamu, opining that an encounter with Osamu at his full strength might result in his lost[71]. Moreover, Bouya posits that Nakajima Shinsuke's unwavering toughness outshines the renowned Mayumi Tetsuji [72].
