**Jihye Hasegawa** (長谷川 ジヘ *Hasegawa Jihe*), or **Jichan** (ジチャン *Ji-chan*), is a founding member and the nurse for the Tokyo Manji Gang.

## Appearance

Jihye is of short stature and feminine figure, being fairly developed for her age. She has blonde hair with brown roots growing, which she wears in pigtails, and emerald green eyes. She is often seen sprouting her school uniform including a sailor collared shirt, skirt and black tights with holes in them.

She will change her clothes regularly in the summer, often opting for cropped shirts to show off her tattoo, and for meetings and events, she wears an altered version of the Tokyo Manji Gang's uniform, often seen carrying a first aid kit.

In the original timeline, adult Jihye's hair was brown and cut short, as seen by Takemichi in her memorial pictures.

In her second appearance as an adult, Jihye appears with short brown hair and a dragon tattoo sleeve on her left arm, as well as a tongue piercing. She looks the same as in the original timeline

In the latest present timeline, she has long blonde hair in low pigtails and a Bonten tattoo on her back. She is noted to look slim and lifeless.

## Personality

Despite her natural bored expression, Jihye is a very cheerful and fun girl with a very childish demeanor. She is very compassionate towards everyone, and hates people who use their power to abuse others. She is very quick to act when someone is being disrespected, especially if it's to a Toman member, and would often get into fights she cannot win. She is prone to make rash decisions during these situations, such as going to punch Kiyomasa, only to be stabbed by him herself.

As the captain (and only member) of the Tokyo Manji Gang Injury Division, she is very beloved by members who acknowledge her cleverness and wisdom. She is usually being taunted, underestimated and bullied by lower members of other gangs due to the fact that she's the only girl in the gang, but once Manjiro, Ken or any of the other captains get an ear of it, they learn not to mess with their priced curer. She is usually not allowed to attend gang operations, but if she does attend, Jihye goes into hiding so no one hurts her.

She is also known to be very close to Emma and, later on, Hinata, and are often going out together. Jihye is very supportive of Hinata's desire to protect Takemichi and Emma's dream of marrying Ken. When she's around the girls, she acts a little more differently. Her childishness drops a little, and is seen less anxious when they're all together.

When she's angry, Jihye tends to start yelling and crying at the same time. She hates when her body does this, thinking it makes her seem weak, but the gang members think it's pretty badass that she can still keep on yelling while crying.

After Baji confessed his love to her and died in her arms right after, Jihye became very depressed, hiding in her room for two weeks, until she was kicked out by her dad. She then went to Baji's grave to see Mikey and Chifuyu, but she only muttered four words, and began to cry the whole afternoon.

Like this, Jihye wasn't always cheerful and upbeat. When she was younger, specifically when she had recently moved to Japan, she was very depressed and monotonous, until she met Manjiro when her step-brother, Akaashi, was beating her up with his friends. After meeting him, he taught her the thrill of riding a motorbike and the cheerful side of life.

## Skills and Abilities

### Authority

As a captain and co-founder of Toman, she has great authority within the gang. Her presence is able to get a weigh off the shoulders of the members, amplifying their strength by taking the worry of medical assistance out of their mind.

### Fighting Prowess

Jihye isn't the most skilled fighter, being slightly frail and overall skinny. However, when she was in elementary, Manjiro taught her several martial arts locks in order to protect herself in case of an emergency. Once, she managed to knock out someone of the Moebius gang, being praised by the Toman captains.

### Medical Knowledge

Due to her father usually coming home beat up, she learned quickly how to clean and treat wounds. After joining Toman, she would spend her free time attending classes in different community centers and reading books in libraries. According to Ken, she has the most delicate hands in the world. Manjiro loves when she tends to him, even though he almost never gets hurt.
