Hideto Bandou

First appearance: Crows #02

Affiliation: Suzuran 24th Class, Bandou Faction, The Front of Armament, Kurosaki Industrial

Bandou was a friend of Sugata Kazushi and joined the 2nd generation of T.F.O.A.. He met Senda Naoki and Tatsuya Yamazaki that were following Sugata too and the three became friends and joined Kurosaki. Sugata wanted him to be the next head, but he died in an accident before saying his will, so the vice-head Kunou Hideomi took his place.

On the 3rd generation of T.F.O.A. Bandou was one of the four ranked oficials named Four Kings. In discontent with the new leader he removed the T.F.O.A. symbol from his jacket, he wanted to build a strong faction to take over T.F.O.A. so he transfered with Senda and Yamazaki to Suzuran to try and conquer the school.

The Ebizuka Trio opposed Bandou's rule over Suzuran, and in one of the several clashes between them he got suspended. When he got back he planned to get rid of them but they were helped by the new transfered student Harumichi Bouya.

Bandou tried to recruit Bouya to his faction but it was of no use, and later he was defeated by him. Hideomi felt that Bandou embarassed T.F.O.A. and sent Mito Yasuyuki to take care of him.

He came back to Suzuran by the time Housen Academy started a war. Their leader Machida Katsutoshi pulled a knife against Hiromi Kirishima and Bandou interefered taking the knife and cutting Machida's face, It was revealed then that the current heads of Housen were just pawns in Bitou brothers hands.

Bandou later bravely fought against Bitou Tatsuya even knowing he was no match, just to prove his strenght.

He graduated at Suzuran and started a rock band. Later he invited Hiromi to join him.
