Tokyo Revengers: Hybrid Au Info [06]

This is the last of the info posts! This one has the remaining, miscellaneous characters who didn't fit into the other groups... and also happens to include my two favorites. Enjoy! >:Dc

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3] [Part 4] [Part 5]

. . .

Kawata Nahoya — Red Panda

Physical

Small, triangular, fuzzy ears lined with white fur, that are tiny enough to rarely be visible through his hair. 

Long, fluffy tail with thick, dense fur in a ringed pattern. It needs quite a bit of grooming to stay soft and free of matts, but he’s not too fond of other people (outside of his brother) touching it. 

Thicker, softer body hair than a normal human, most notable around his lower limbs. 

Excellent grip strength and climbing abilities. If unsupervised, he can wind up in places that seem almost impossible. Prone to doing this just to annoy the people in charge of him. 

Behavioral

Highly territorial... with one exception. Other hybrids make him notably aggressive, especially if they’re at all threatening toward his brother. While he doesn’t seem too intimidating, he’s extremely protective and can be aggressive.

Gets low-energy and lethargic during the colder months, when his body starts to demand more rest.

Can make a variety of non-human noises, including growls, squeaks, and more. The noises are very socially meaningful, but humans rarely understand what’s being conveyed. 

Sensitive to smells; “territory” is defined by them, and he can pick up on far more subtle scents than a normal human could.

. . .

Kawata Souya — Red Panda

Physical

Small, triangular, fuzzy ears lined with white fur, that are tiny enough to rarely be visible through his hair. 

Long, fluffy tail with thick, dense fur in a ringed pattern. It needs quite a bit of grooming to stay soft and free of matts, but he’s rather nervous about other people (outside of his brother) touching it. 

Thicker, softer body hair than a normal human, most notable around his lower limbs. 

Partially nocturnal. Prone to napping during the day and drowsy if he’s forced to stay awake. His body is meant for quite a bit of sleep, and he’ll be in a bad mood if he doesn’t get it. 

Behavioral

Gets low-energy and lethargic during the colder months, when his body starts to demand more rest. Very whiny about being forced to stay active, and clingier with his brother.

Sensitive to smells; “territory” is defined by them, and he can pick up on far more subtle scents than a normal human could.

Can make a variety of non-human noises, including growls, squeaks, and more. They come out more often when he’s stressed or emotionally overwhelmed, in sharp contrast to his perpetually grumpy-looking face.

Picky about grooming, especially the fur on his tail and ears. Letting someone help with it is a significant sign of trust.

. . .

Shiba Taiju — Holstein Cow

Physical

Small, tapered ears at about the same position as a human’s. They’re covered in soft, velvety, dark-colored fur and are fairly delicate. Has a tag-like piercing through one as an easy mark of ownership. 

Long, thin tail with a large tuft of fur at the end. The fur on it is black, and lighter at the tip of the tuft. It’s quite sturdy, and can be used to manhandle him. 

Horns that protrude at a horizontal angle from his head and curve up and out toward the tips. Horns are usually kept blunted for “safety”, and he’s frequently dragged around by them. Bases are sensitive and receptive to light rubbing or scratching. 

His massive size and impressive strength are natural traits for his hybrid species, and both go well beyond normal humans.

Behavioral

Emotional temperament. Prone to agitation, irritation, and sudden mood changes. Aggressive behavior and lashing out are common, but he’s well-trained enough to be easily put in line when that happens.

Isolation (in an effort to control his aggression issues) coupled with an innate desire to vie for dominance with other herd animals result in unstable behavior and a need for strict discipline. Used to being harshly controlled, and always through painful means. 

Highly protective, but has no idea how to show it. He’s a herd animal at heart, and subconsciously, desperately wants social connections. 

While he’s not aware of it, his body is highly receptive to touch. Not used to being treated gently in the slightest. 

. . .

Shiba Yuzuha — Holstein Cow

Physical

Small, tapered ears at about the same position as a human’s. They’re covered in soft, velvety, tawny-colored fur and are fairly delicate. 

Long, thin tail with a large tuft of fur at the end. The fur on it is the same tawny color as that of her ears, and slightly darker at the tip of the tuft. It may be sturdy, but she doesn’t appreciate it being touched.

Naturally puts on weight easily (both fat and muscle), a lot of which will go to her chest. This has been carefully controlled in the past for appearance’s sake, though she’s still much stronger than her fairly petite figure would suggest. 

Has a number of splotchy birthmarks on her skin. She’s quite insecure about them, and usually tries to keep them covered.

Behavioral

As a herd-animal hybrid, she feels safer when she’s part of a group. No matter how tough she tries to act, isolation in any amount wreaks havoc on her mental state, leaving her stressed, miserable, and dangerously agitated. 

Prone to lashing out when she’s frightened or in pain, which has only earned punishment so far. Naturally rather nervous, but hides it. 

Highly protective over anyone she’s attached to. Needs someone to cling to and look after, even though she won’t admit to it. 

Likes touch, affection, and closeness much more than she’ll show, especially because she’s not used to positive contact being an option. Between being handled roughly and seeing her brothers go through the same, she doesn’t have much trust in humans. 

. . .

Shiba Hakkai — Holstein Cow

Physical

Small, tapered ears at about the same position as a human’s. They’re covered in soft, velvety, dark-colored fur and are quite sensitive; he’ll melt under gentle petting to them.

Has a number of splotchy birthmarks across his body, just like his sister’s. He’s less insecure about them, though. 

Long, thin tail with a large tuft of fur at the end. The fur on it is black, and lighter at the tip of the tuft. The tail is sturdy, but he’ll still flinch if it’s tugged too roughly. 

Horns that protrude at a horizontal angle from his head and curve up and out toward the tips. They’re usually kept blunted so he can’t do any damage with them (not that he wants to), and he’s gotten a little too used to being hauled around by them.

Behavioral

Highly nervous personality. Partially a result of his upbringing and partially because of the prey animal side of him, unfamiliar situations and people cause him a lot of distress. 

Naturally emotional. While he’s far more docile than the average bull hybrid, he’s still prone to agitation and emotional upsets, especially when he’s forced to be alone for too long. Even short periods of isolation are terribly distressing. 

Can make a variety of mooing sounds, but the louder ones are usually a sign of stress— and he’s been mocked for them plenty. 

Attachment issues. Prone to latching onto people who are kind to him, especially when he’s already distressed.

. . .

Terano South — Giant River Otter

Physical

Long, sturdy tail covered in a layer of thin, brown fur. The tail itself is solid and powerful, and the fur on it, which looks darker when wet,  is dense enough to be nearly waterproof.

Stronger teeth than a normal human, as well as a powerful jaw. Nails are sharp and claw-like, and his hands and feet are partially webbed.

Highly sensitive whiskers around his chin and nose. Different than normal human facial hair, they’re meant for gathering sensory input while underwater.

Capable of a wide variety of inhuman vocalizations, ranging from growls to whines. Their meanings are complex, but (since the feral-sounding noises are strongly discouraged) even he isn’t fully aware of the nuances. 

Behavioral

Strong hunting instincts; he’s programmed to hunt, and a lack of entertainment quickly leads to aggression. High energy, and gets dangerously agitated when confined for too long. 

Matching the need to hunt, he’s excitable— when something gets him worked up, his self-control plummets. 

Naturally social, with an instinctive need for a hierarchy. While he’s prone to vying for dominance, if someone establishes themself as the leader, he’s surprisingly cooperative. Isolation and a lack of companionship do terrible things to his mental state. 

Prefers having a “den” to himself, and can be picky/territorial about the space he considers his own. Can get aggressive if he feels that his space is threatened.

I loved that question and your interpretation on their smell :0

Do you think you can do other tr characters ?

I hc sanzu smell like sanitizer or like fresh out the shower smell 👀 and I'm not complaining hehe

It was a super fun question right?!! Big thanks to the anon who asked!! Sure, I can do a couple more of TR characters, but I’m not sure which ones you want so I’ll just go off some of my faves and some others, if that’s alright!!

Sanzu: Yes I agree that he’s always smelling like he’s just fresh out of a shower, with a really pleasant soap/shampoo smell!! (I think it’s cuz he’s so pretty 😂) I envision him as someone who doesn’t really use any kind of perfume/body scents, and just naturally smells nice (though yeah it’s probably not realistically, biologically possible but c’mon now). Same with Senju!!

Edit: I totally forgot that Sanzu is canonically a clean freak so yes, please add sanitizer to the list—you are right, anon!! (I got reminded of this thanks to @penrose-quinn’s tags which you should check out too cuz she has HCs on Shin, Mikey and Baji’s scent I agree with 100%!)

Meanwhile, their brother Takeomi just smells like Marlboros. And he’s way more pungent than his buddy Shinichirou, who somehow smells only faintly like cigarettes, which is balanced out/neutralised by the laundry detergent he uses, or diesel and grease from the bike shop. During his days as a delinquent he probably smells like generic body spray (thinking it’d appeal him to girls) but loses this as he grew into a young adult and became more practical.

I’m not sure, but I vaguely recall a post saying that Mikey is somewhat stinky cuz he doesn’t shower? (LOL?!) Or was it in one of the chapters/tidbits from Wakui? Don’t quote me on this cuz I can’t remember!! But anyway, I honestly can’t find it in myself to disagree entirely…. I’m not saying he walks around smelling like death, but I think he has that slightly musty ‘just got out of bed’ scent. You know what I mean? This guy is extremely minimal with personal care (Draken had to mother him and do stuff like tie his hair) so he’s either entirely scentless or has a tiny bit of body smell, which may or may not be unpleasant to some people.

I think Draken wears a masculine scent / body spray / deodorant. But he also lives in a brothel, and brothels tend to smell very ‘sweet’, so some of that sickly sweet perfume would’ve probably settled into his clothes a little too.

Kazutora’s fashion sense is pretty flashy, and so is his room decor, so I wouldn’t doubt that he’d choose some kind of flamboyant scent too—or at least, that’d be what he wants to smell like. He may be scentless because Character Book 2 said he has sensitive skin, so he may not use or spray anything on himself.

Mitsuya is a really considerate person, so he’d probably just want to remain scentless or just lightly pleasant (Japanese people actually tend to avoid having strong scents or perfumes, so as to not risk bothering others with a smell that others may not like). Therefore, I don’t think he’d wear any kind of scent. It’ll just be from his laundry detergent. (He’d probably rather save the money as well.)

Hakkai probably started out wearing something rather strong and masculine cuz that’s what I think Taijuu smells like, even though Hakkai himself may not have liked it, or felt that it wasn’t ‘him’. That was until Mitsuya commented about how strong smells can bother others, and how Hakkai shouldn’t do or wear something he doesn’t enjoy. Thereafter, Hakkai ditched it and opted for a much lighter scent. Yuzuha will also wear a light, floral type of scent, in my opinion! She feels like a Jo Malone kind of girl for some reason 🤔

Chifuyu would smell like a cat and some citrus-based deodorant. But since starting his part-time work at Palme Pet Shop, he also has a canine kind of smell too. He doesn’t stink, he just smells like someone who’s always cuddling pets haha.

Ok it ended up being more than a ‘few’ but I hope these are alright!! 🥰

[tsumusfattytuna]

I went to ACG event yesterday and I sheet u not theres a group of people cosplaying THIS 😭 short-circuited for a moment .

KOKONOI COSPLAYER LOOKED SO HOT

Taiju and Mitsuya by Ken Wakui for Mitsuya’s birthday (x)

[yokohamabeans]

I hate to kill the hype (I too really wish that Taijuu will make a comeback) but Wakui is actually just commenting about the return of springtime allergens. 😂

In the image, he’s saying 来たな…強敵よ, which translates to “It’s here…a strong enemy.” The ‘strong enemy’ refers to cedar pollen, as indicated in furigana (the small text) スギ花粉. Since springtime is coming, many people are bracing themselves for the allergies that come with the pollen haha. Guess Wakui’s one of them!

But then again, Wakui may also be implying something about Taijuu too, cuz why is he using Taijuu of all characters? Let’s keep the hope!!!!

AAAA KEN WAKUI POSTED TAIJU ON HIS TWITTER AND THE CAPTION IMPLIES HES COMING BACK??

HOLD MY HAND

Is it this????

Google translate is giving me a rough translation of

(But obviously it's Google translate so not the most accurate thing to use)

But yeah if this is right then it's definitely implying a comeback for him!!!!!
