We encounter several gangs throughout the Tokyo Revengers series, from Black Dragon to Valhalla. However, none of these gangs was as iconic as the Tokyo Manji Gang.
With more than 100 members, this gang aimed to rule Tokyo and bring a new age for delinquents. This huge gang was formed by the six founding members and is headed by Manjiro Sano alias Mikey.
