Disclaimer: Spoilers ahead!
24Takemichi (Takemichi Hanagaki)
The series has seen a fewdifferent versions of protagonist Takemichithroughout the current season. While the audience meets an older Takemichi with his natural hair color, the version of Takemichi the audience is likely most well-acquainted with is his younger self.
Teenage Takemichi is the version of the protagonist that gets the most time in the spotlight as most of his plan to protect Hinata occurs when he time travels back to the past. Teenage Takemichi maintains his “punk” look with dyed blond hair, styled in a faux hawk.
The last rendition of Takemichi is an alternate timeline of him in the present day when he still maintains his status in a modern-day Toman. Rather than sporting his messy hair, this Takemichi has his hair slicked back for a much cleaner look than his episode one debut.
23Naoto Tachibana
Naoto is Hinata’s younger brother. While he may seem like a simple passing character when Takemichi first travels back in time, he proves to be a very integral part of the entire plot. Naoto is first introduced when Takemichi goes back in time for the very first time and meets up with him, right before sending him back to the present day.
Although there’s only a year difference between Naoto and Takemichi, Naoto appears much younger/baby-faced. Once he grows up and is reintroduced as an adult, it’s clear to see he’s matured well and even earned aprestigious job as a detectivefor the organized crime department of Tokyo.
22Hinata Tachibana
Hinata Tachibana is protagonistTakemichi’s love interestas well as the catalyst for the entire series of events that isTokyo Revengers. Teenage Hinata has short hair and usually has a smile on her face. Her face also appears a bit rounder when she is younger, having more of a baby face due to her adorable, round cheeks.
The audience eventually meets an adult Hinata; still wearing her hair in bangs, but this time growing the rest out to a medium length. Her face is a bit slimmer as well, giving her a more mature look.
21Draken (Ken Ryugji)
While teenager Draken sports a very tough, “cool guy” look, his older self (as of the moment) isn’t feeling as full of himself as he did in his younger years. Teenage Draken has both sides of his head shaved, with a strand hanging in the front and a long braid in the back.
Adult Draken still shows off his signature dragon tattoo on the side of his head but ditched his stylish blond hairdo and is now completely bald. Adult Draken in this current timeline got rid of the things that made him hisusual delinquent selfwhen he was still a teen, such as his piercing and long hair. Hopefully, Takemichi and Naoto can fix things up for Draken so that, even as an adult, he’ll still find happiness.
20Akkun (Atsushi Sendo)
Akkun isTakemichi’s right-hand man and best friendfrom his teenage years. Akkun is the character that fans have seen the most renditions of. Akkun for the most part has kept his signature slightly wavy red hair. In his teenage years, he has it styled into a pompadour. However, the first adult version of Akkun the audience met was the most different from the Akkun everyone was used to.
The first adult Akkun fans meet has a buzz cut, full tattoo sleeves on both arms and doesn’t seem to be in the best health (mentally and physically) as his cheekbones are noticeably sunken in. However, the next rendition of adult Akkun has achieved his dream of becoming a hairdresser and is seemingly in a much better place in life, as his face looks much healthier; he’s even maintained his signature pompadour look from his younger years.
19Chifuyu Matsuno
Chifuyu takes the role ofTakemichi’s partner and confidantin his plans to reach the top of Toman. Teenage Chifuyu has dyed blond hair, with a stylish undercut. As he matured into an adult, Chifuyu ditched the dye and decided to sport his natural hair color; keeping his signature undercut, but this time with his natural black hair.
Chifuyu, unlike Draken, decided to keep his piercing and still wears a single silver hoop on his left ear.
18Shuji Hanma
Shuji Hanma is one of themain antagonists seen throughout the series. Hanma is a tall man and, although rather slim, a very powerful fighter. Teenage Hanma sports a slick haircut he styles upwards, with the sides shaved and a blond streak in the middle of his black hair. He also has two kanji characters that translate into “sin” and “punishment” tattooed on his right and left hands.
Adult Hanma dons a new, more sophisticated look. Turning away from his teenage delinquent days, adult Hanma has his hair slicked back in a more tousled way, keeping his blond streak but combing it out a bit more. Adult Hanma also paired the look with some glasses and kept his signature earring.
17Tetta Kisaki
Tetta Kisaki is themain antagonist of the seriesand seems to be the source of all of Takemichi’s problems. Teenage Kisaki is seen with gold upper framed glasses, an earring on his left ear, and a dyed blond crewcut he styles upward.
After the time skip, adult Kisaki keeps his dyed blond hair, but this time with the sides completely shaved and the rest parted to the side, paired with silver upper-framed glasses in place of his gold ones.
16Pah-Chin (Haruki Hayashida)
Pah-chin has had his fair share of time in the spotlight throughout the first season ofTokyo Revengers. Pah-chin in his teenage years has dyed blond hair that he combs over to one side, with the sides clean-shaven. He also has splits in both of his eyebrows and a scar on his lip.
Adult Pah-chin isn’t too different from his teenage counterpart; at least in terms of his physical appearance. Pah-chin after the time skip is easily recognizable as he’s kept most of his most defining features, with the singular exception of his hair color as adult Pah-chinditched the dye for his natural hair color.
15Peh-Yan (Ryohei Hayashi)
Ryohei is more commonly known by his nickname, Peh-yan, and isPah-chin’s good friend. Peh-yan is one of the few characters that haven’t changed at all after the time skip. Peh-yan is a tall man with short, very light brown hair.
For the most part, Peh-yan looks the same between his teenage years and his adult years. His hair is generally the same, with the adult version of him having ever so slightly longer hair.
