He bullies Jyushi out of spite towards him being better at him at karaoke, doing things like humiliating him in front of the whole class over his attachment to Amanda, but what really solidifies him as a scumbag is when he indirectly murders Jyushi's grandmother by baiting her into running in the street, and he shows no remorse for doing so.

Season 2 Characters
Kikoku Kaibyakumon
Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki

- In the Hood: Wore a black hood on the anime's character page until his face was revealed.
- Meaningful Name: "Kaibyaku" means "beginning of the world" and "mon" means "gate".

Tropes pertaining to him:
- Ambiguously Brown: Likely has some degree of Japanese descent, based on his name alone.
- Mook Lieutenant: Despite his name being on the "wildly popular" DJ group and him clearly instigating some of the trouble, TBH isn't much of a threat towards the division rap battle participants at the pointy end of Rhyme Anima+ - he lets himself be arrested by Chuohku when they come for him.
