- Catchphrase:

- "Shut up, you idiot."
- Cool Shades: Always seen with a pair; he takes them off when he fights.
- Dark and Troubled Past: Although few characters in this series had happy childhoods, his mother and elder sister's double suicide that drove him to protect women stands out.
- Honor Before Reason: He refused to accept any help from his SWORD peers since he wants to settle the score with Ranmaru himself. This nearly got his crew destroyed and he himself killed.

Oya Koh
In General
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Murayama not only wins the yearly "100 Punches" tradition, he also beats everyone up afterwards to officially become Oya's leader. Not just for the Part-Time Students where he belongs; the entire school.
- Alternate Company Equivalent: Even before Suzuran were properly introduced in High&Low: The Worst X, the Demon High School shares quite a few similarities to the eponymous Crows School:
- The very idea of a faction system within the school, where both sides doesn't get along often due to their conflicting ideologies. The difference of course is that Oya has a leader in Part-Time Student's Murayama, while Suzuran generally remains leaderless for much of their history.
- Their situation in High&Low: The Worst is pretty much in the same position Suzuran was in during Worst; a school with no one to lead them, thus creating an equilibrium where the student body split into different factions vying for control. That was until a particular student unexpectedly enters the scene and unite them all with his natural charisma. For Suzuran, it's Hana Tsukishima; for Oya, it's Fujio Hanaoka.
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The school's main color is blue.
- Gangbangers: The main motif of Part-Time Students. This is pretty much why their theme is a Japanese Cover Version of House of Pain's "Jump Around."
- Held Back in School: Part-Time Students are this, as they care more about fighting and being tough, rather than taking the student role as seriously as the Full-Time Students. There's a reason why many among their ranks are in their early-mid 20's.
- Image Song: JUMP AROUND ∞ by DOBERMAN INFINITY for Part-Time Students, SWAG & PRIDE by THE RAMPAGE for Full-Time Students, and FIRED UP, also by THE RAMPAGE for the group as a whole.
- Japanese Delinquents: This is the main motif of Full-Time Students.
- Made of Iron: These delinquents are hard as steel. They even have a yearly tradition revolving around this; "The 100 Punches Challenge". Any student who can withstand these punches will be appointed as the school's leader. Murayama so far is the only one successful in this regard, followed by Furuya, at 98 punches, and Seki at 93 punches.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The "Demon High School" moniker isn't just some fancy nickname, it's literally in their name; the kanji "鬼" that make up 鬼邪高校 means "Demon" or "Oni".
- Oni: Their overall motif, and as explained above, the first Kanji of their name is even used to describe Oni.
- Passing the Torch: In High&Low: The Worst, Murayama passed on his leadership to the newly introduced Fujio Hanaoka, as part of the declaration he made that Part-Time Students will no longer be involved in S.W.O.R.D.-related affairs. By High&Low: The Worst X, Fujio is now the leader of the school, thus leaving Full-Time Students as the only force controlling Oya Koh.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The literal Blue Oni to Daruma Ikka's Red Oni.
- This is even true within the school itself; the Part-Time Students are the Red Oni to Full-Time Students Blue Oni.
- Red Baron: "The Demon High School."
- School of Hard Knocks: Before the introduction of delinquent schools from Crows and The Three Schools Alliance, Oya High was the only delinquent school of its kind in S.W.O.R.D.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: During Murayama's reign as the school's leader, Part-Time and Full-Time Students often butt-heads. This is true even when both groups are united to fight a common threat. After becoming the school's newest leader, Fujio manages to turn things around for the better, thankfully.
Murayama Yoshiki
"....to win with one Punch."
Portrayed By: Yuki Yamada

- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He's usually wild and childish, but sobers up a bit during season two.
- A Day In The Lime Light: He becomes the main focus in S2, E7 and E8.
- Defeat Means Friendship: After Cobra defeats him, Murayama becomes much more jovial and nicer towards him. They are seen together more often than any of the SWORD leaders, and acts friendlier towards each other. It's to the point that he asked Cobra for advice and express a willingness to join Sannoh.
- Everyone Has Standards: Even in his early cruel Blood Knight days, he hated drugs. It is one of the reason why he refused to join Kuryu Group.
- Iconic Outfit: After the second movie, his blue bomber jacket and blue bandana have become this.
- Kick Them While They're Down: After he throws Todoroki to the ground in the climax of their rematch, Murayama gave him one final kick to the face to put him out for good, this actually got one of Todoroki's eyes bandaged. Ouch.

- Nice Guy: He acts friendly to most of the guys in S.W.O.R.D. after he's knocked down a peg. It was mostly superficial in the first season.
- Off Screen Moment Of Awesome: He challenges Hyuga in the second movie and it is revealed in Hn L the Worst ep 0 that he wins.
- Pretty Boy: he rivals Cobra both in fighting prowess and beauty.
- Shirtless Scene: Well, almost shirtless. His shirt is unbuttoned after he finish beating most of Oya students.
- TheRival: To Cobra.
- Unskilled, but Strong: No fancy moves, just punches, kicks, headbutts with madness and big power.

- Always Someone Better: No matter how much of a badass fighter he is, Murayama will ALWAYS best him, in strength or leadership.
- Bully Hunter: He really hates those who picked on the weak. Called them "trash." Eventually he realized he just loved fighting for the sake of it and chose to fight his way to the top of Oya High.
- Character Development: He started as a power hungry new blood on Oya Koh determined to beat Murayama and take the school for himself as he believed that the strong should rule. After he got his ass kicked, he mellowed down and although he still wanted to beat Murayama, he is not as obsessed as before and opted to chalenge him directly rather than caused chaos like he did before. Then after Murayama kicked his ass again, he started to have comforts in joining the other new bloods and even willingly aid Fujio in times of need. By the end, he started to understand better on being the top of Oya Koh and chose to let Fujio lead or, at least become co leaders for the school.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Dishes this to Tsuji and Shibaman and some Oya kohs student.. also possiblly to Seki and Furuya. He got this treatment offscreen, when the mighty warriors raided Oya Koh.
- Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the Asskicking Leads to Leadership. Todoroki posseses immense strenght at fighting and manage to rival those at the part time and poses as the closest challenge to the Oya high leader, Murayama in the school. And…that’s it. He doesn’t try to bond with the other full time students, doesn’t care about the troubles in his own classes, and doesn’t seem to care about the people in Oya high, even to his companions he acts aloof most of the time. Because of this traits, he failed to gain the respect and trust to be a leader that Murayama has to unite the whole school, and the full time students are divided into several groups who caused chaos for a time until Fujio shows up.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Ever since he beat them, both Tsuji and Shibaman sticked by his side throughout the series.
- Eye Scream: In The Worst, he challenged Murayama to a rematch. The result? He lost yet again,and got his left eye mangled.
- Good Old Fisticuffs: thou his style is more refined than anyone else in Oya Koh.
- Hardwork Hardly Works: This is his problem especially when it comes to facing Murayama. He trained hard and he manages to beat his former bullies and yet Murayama, who is seemingly naturally Made of Iron, completely trounces him. This is evident in their second bout, where Murayama plays him like a rag doll and seemed to be having fun, while Todoroki was struggling a lot.
- I Work Alone: He doesn't have a faction and chose to be on bis own most of the time with Tsuji and Shibaman being the only company he has.
- Older Hero Versus Younger Villain: He is a freshmen in Oya Koh , which means that he is younger than Murayama and he is also the main antagonist of Murayama's story in Season 2.
- The Rival: To Murayama in season 2. He also has one with Fujio, where both races to the top of Oya, it turns more into a friendly rivalry later on.

- Took a Level in Kindness: In the Worst, despite still being standoffish he still joins on the Oya vs Housen Showdown and later willingly aids Fujio on his way to fight KIDRA.
- True Companions: With Tsuji and Shibaman as they are always seen together with him and even after his lost to Murayama, they still sticked with him throughout the series. Later on, he formed this relationship with Fujio and his other crew.

We were lead to believe that they are about to have a rematch of their firs bout, but then the music abruptly stops and Fujio complains about the fact that Tsukasa got a chocolate from a middle school student.
- The second one occurs at the sequel, Cross. After tracking Lao, Suzuran’s top dog, Fujio coldly greets him, Death Glare on full display, and the two have an instence staredown with one another.

A legendary motorcycle gang once dominated the city that would came to be known as S.W.O.R.D.

They soon joined by fellow motorcycle enthusiasts Tsukumo, Ohta, and Konishi, followed by two youngsters named Cobra and Yamato, rounding up the group into seven members.
The seven then began to conquer a city controlled by Hyuuga Group, a crime syndicate backed by the ominous Kuryu Group. Despite being outnumbered, MUGEN successfully destroys them, and many within Hyuuga Group soon joins them out of fear. For three years straight they became unstoppable, beating outsider gangs trying to claim their territory left and right, and eventually gaining more new recruits, with the numbers even go at hundreds.
