Murayama

**Murayama Yoshiki** was the leader of Oya High. He entered into Oya High and managed to withstand "100 Hits" tradition and fought everyone within the school to become the leader of Oya High. He is considered as a part-time student.

Under his leadership, he was able to make Oya High the "O" in S.W.O.R.D.

## Personality

Murayama used to be childish and irresponsible, and is always eager to fight. He continued this trait even after becoming the leader of Oya High. However, he started to change when he lost to Cobra. After their fight, Murayama realized a lot of things and became more mature. He started to understand what being a leader is about.

Although the full-time students hate how Murayama excludes them from S.W.O.R.D matters, he is only doing it to protect them. He said that it is different from the fights they held at Oya High and is dangerous for the younger students.

Even though he is seen as the leader of Oya High and looks strong and experienced in every other SWORD member's eyes, he is likely considered as an amateur when he's on work. He also afraid of Seki's father and follows every order from the Orochi Brothers, Shinya and Masaya Oochi.

## Appearance

Murayama is a lean man with average height. He has black hair and is mostly seen wearing a blue checkered shirt under gakuran or sukajan. He always uses black or blue rag tied around his forehead.

## After Oya High

He decided to leave Oya High together with Furuya and Seki to work and hang out together. They are last seen riding their bikes.

In HiGH&LOW THE WORST X, Murayama has been indirectly mentioned several times. Murayama is the reason why Oya High is the top high school in SWORD area with no competition. It was only after he left that the other schools started attacking Oya High. Tsukasa stated that Oya High is in danger now that Murayama is gone, as the other school in SWORD is targeting Oya High to claim the title of strongest school in the area.

Odajima Yuken compared Murayama to Suzuran's Binzo when Fujio visited Housen. Both having the qualities of being extremely tough, someone who goes back up like a zombie even after getting hit a multiple times.

Todoroki also mentioned that Murayama along with Fujio greatly influenced him. As he has now become a person who have something to protect.

## Fighting Prowess

As the leader of Oya High and one of SWORD's leader, Murayama is one of the strongest fighters. He was the strongest in Oya High ever since he enrolled there until he left. He is known for his tremendous durability, as shown when he withstood 100 hits and then taking down all of his opponents after. Murayama also able to fight Daruma Ikka's leader, Hyuga, to persuade him to join the S.W.O.R.D alliance. Despite not knowing the outcome of the fight, Hyuga joined the alliance.

Murayama is not just strong but also ocassionally shows skill in fighting. His go-to move is feinting and constantly uses it to deceive his opponent to create an opening for him to land a powerful blow. He is a fast fighter as shown when he was able to keep up with Todoroki, who is a refined fast-paced fighter.

Due to constantly battling together with SWORD against Kuryu and any other gang, Murayama has gotten stronger and better in fighting than he was before. His improvement was apparent when Todoroki fought him in the rematch. Compared to their first fight when the two was almost evenly matched, Murayama was hardly trying and just having fun fighting Todoroki in the rematch. Todoroki, who worked hard since his first defeat in Murayama's hands, still couldn't beat him.

What makes Murayama difficult to bring down is because of his durability. No matter how many times he'll get hit, he will still stand back up like a zombie.
