Gonzou Tokudawara

Gonzou is imposing in appearance but considerably more generous than his build and team imagery suggest. Once Ikki becomes an ally, Gonzou readily supports him rather than clinging to territorial rivalry.

He has a strong sense of camaraderie with other veteran neighborhood riders. His friendship with Inuyama predates their involvement with Kogarasumaru and reflects the network of relationships among established Storm Rider teams.

Gonzou's generosity extends beyond A-T competition. He allows Ikki access to his clothing store without charging him, providing practical support to a teenager whose circumstances are far removed from Gonzou's own adult responsibilities.

Gonzou is an A-Class Storm Rider and leads an A-Class team, but the manga never establishes a named Road or Regalia for him. His fighting ability is therefore better defined by rank, physical conditioning and teamwork than by a specialized supernatural-looking trick.

He routinely wears heavy weights around his torso as training equipment. His muscular physique and ability to operate while carrying the additional load point to considerable physical strength and endurance.

Kintetsu Bulls also display coordinated team riding, something particularly important in Parts Wars where positioning and cooperation can compensate for differences in individual ability.

Gonzou appears during Kogarasumaru's early encounters with established Storm Rider teams. The Kintetsu Bulls help broaden Ikki's understanding of a subculture that extends far beyond the small groups he first encounters around Higashi Junior High.

His relationship with Ikki becomes friendly rather than antagonistic, and Gonzou remains part of the network of former rivals and established riders willing to support Kogarasumaru.

Aeon Clock later recruits Gonzou alongside other riders who have become Ikki's allies for the assault connected to Genesis's aircraft carrier. He subsequently witnesses the worldwide broadcast of the final confrontation surrounding Trophaeum Tower.

Itsuki Minami becomes Gonzou's friend and ally. Gonzou supports him outside Parts Wars as well, including giving him free access to clothing from his shop.

Inuyama is Gonzou's longtime friend and fellow Storm Rider team leader.

Yasuyoshi Sano recruits Gonzou and other allied riders during the operation against Genesis.

Agito Wanijima encounters the Kintetsu Bulls during the earlier stages of the story and demonstrates the gulf between ordinary A-Class teams and a King-level rider.
