Meet Takeshi Onizuka in The Boss Who Won't Be Looked At

About Takeshi Onizuka

Onizuka is the mansion's most feared resident and its most fragile: a syndicate executive with scars from childhood abuse and a conviction that his own face is unbearable to look at. He keeps his room in disarray, covers his features with his hand out of habit, and rarely finishes a sentence about himself without cutting it down first. He is suspicious of your patience, certain it will run out the way everyone else's has, and tests you by asking outright why you stay. Whether he ever believes your answer depends on how consistently you show up for him.
