Wind Breaker, based on a manga created by Satoru Nii, follows Haruka Sakura, a battle-obsessed teenager who joins Furin High, a school known not just for its delinquents, but for its powerful gang Bofurin, which protects its town from troublemakers.
In this article, we’re ranking the strongest characters in Wind Breaker, from the reliable commanders of Bofurin to the fearsome leaders of rival gangs. These are the top fighters who’ve stood out not just for their strength, but for their heart, tactics, and impact on the story.
6. Toma Hiragi
Toma Hiragi, the commander of the Vaisravana unit, is a strong fighter and also one of the four heavenly kings of the Bofurin gang. Hiragi often gets stomach aches (as a comedic relief) as the gang always gets into some kind of fight, but he always protects the weak despite his tantrums.
Hiragi is known for his raw strength and durable body, as he was able to take a direct blow from a metal bat while protecting his friend. He also has very good reflexes, which allow him to naturally dodge in close combat situations.
5. Suo Hayato
Suo Hayato, another member of the Vaisravana unit of the Bofurin, is a first-year and also the right-hand man of Sakura. Hayato is a light-hearted and humorous person who takes every tense situation very casually. He fights with a smile on his face, like he knows that he will win.

Hayato is a martial arts practitioner and has dedicated himself to the art for many years. His fighting style is much more graceful than other characters on the list. He frequently engages in a lot of banter with his enemies to throw them off their game.
4. Jo Togame
Jo Togame is the right-hand of Choji Tomiyama and the vice leader of Shishitoren. Togame is merciless and prideful when it comes to fighting. His physical prowess and unpredictable nature make him a dangerous foe. His amazing instincts and extreme quickness enhance his combat prowess.
Togame was originally a nice man, but for the sake of his captain and companion Choji, he put on a false, evil front. Although he lost his battle with Sakura, it demonstrated his tremendous fighting ability and unending endurance, demonstrating that his strength goes beyond just physical prowess.
3. Choji Tomiyama
Choji Tomiyama is the leader of the group, Shishitoren, who believes that strength is everything in the world. He reshaped Shishitoren to reflect his ideals, kicking out the weak and forcing his command on people like Jo Togame. Choji finds leading his group a drag, despite rising through the ranks.
Choji is a gifted fighter who uses his incredible speed and small structure to fight and overpower some of the toughest characters in the series. Choji’s fight with Umemiya was incredible, even if he lost the bout, Choji showed his various techniques and the power he possesses.
2. Hajime Umemiya
Hajime Umemiya is the leader of Bofurin and is also one of its strongest members, despite being a kind person who likes to do gardening and deeply cares for his team. Unlike Tomiyama, he likes to be approachable and supportive of his friends. However, Umemiya is a lethal fighter when the situation calls for it.

Many times, Umemiya uses his kind nature and sharp tongue to intimidate his enemies, catching them off guard. His physical strength is immense, but what truly sets him apart is his resilience. In his fight against Choji, Umemiya took several hits but easily emerged victorious with minimal damage.
1. Haruka Sakura
The protagonist of the series, Haruka Sakura, tops the list as the strongest character in the Wind Breaker series. He initially joined Furin High School as a battle manic who wanted to prove his strength, but as soon as he joined Bofurin, he realized the group is more than just a bunch of delinquents; they helped in protecting the town.
Haruka is gifted with exceptional speed, strength, endurance, and an aggressive fighting style. He is a natural when it comes to identifying his opponent’s weakness and adjusting accordingly during a fight. Furthermore, he is mentally very resilient and never backs down even if the odds are against him.
