Disclaimer: Spoilers ahead!
16 Takemichy (Takemichi Hanagaki)
The series has seen a few different versions of protagonist Takemichi throughout the current season. While the audience meets an older Takemichi with his natural hair color, the version of Takemichi the audience is likely most well-acquainted with is his younger self.
Teenage Takemichi is the version of the protagonist that gets the most time in the spotlight as most of his plan to protect Hinata occurs when he time travels back to the past. Teenage Takemichi maintains his “punk” look with dyed blond hair, styled in a faux hawk.
The last rendition of Takemichi is an alternate timeline of him in the present day when he still maintains his status in a modern-day Toman. Rather than sporting his messy hair, this Takemichi has his hair slicked back for a much cleaner look than his episode one debut.
15 Naoto Tachibana
Naoto is Hinata’s younger brother. While he may seem like a simple passing character when Takemichi first travels back in time, he proves to be a very integral part of the entire plot. Naoto is first introduced when Takemichi goes back in time for the very first time and meets up with him, right before sending him back to the present day.
Although there’s only a year difference between Naoto and Takemichi, Naoto appears much younger/baby-faced. Once he grows up and is reintroduced as an adult, it’s clear to see he’s matured well and even earned a prestigious job as a detective for the organized crime department of Tokyo.
14 Hinata Tachibana
Hinata Tachibana is protagonist Takemichi’s love interest as well as the catalyst for the entire series of events that is Tokyo Revengers. Teenage Hinata has short hair and usually has a smile on her face. Her face also appears a bit rounder when she is younger, having more of a baby-face due to her adorable, round cheeks.
The audience eventually meets an adult Hinata; still wearing her hair in bangs, but this time growing the rest out to a medium length. Her face is a bit slimmer as well, giving her a more mature look.
13 Draken (Ken Ryugji)
While teenager Draken sports a very tough, “cool guy” look, his older self (as of the moment) isn’t feeling as full of himself as he did in his younger years. Teenage Draken has both sides of his head shaved, with a strand hanging in the front and a long braid in the back.
Adult Draken still shows off his signature dragon tattoo on the side of his head but ditched his stylish blond hairdo and is now completely bald. Adult Draken in this current timeline got rid of the things that made him his usual delinquent self when he was still a teen, such as his piercing and long hair. Hopefully, Takemichi and Naoto can fix things up for Draken so that, even as an adult, he’ll still find happiness.
12 Akkun (Atsushi Sendo)
Akkun is Takemichi’s right-hand man and best friend from his teenage years. Akkun is the character that fans have seen the most renditions of. Akkun for the most part has kept his signature slightly wavy red hair. In his teenage years, he has it styled into pompadour. However, the first adult version of Akkun audience met was the most different from the Akkun everyone was used to.

The first adult Akkun fans meet has a buzz cut, full tattoo sleeves on both arms, and doesn’t seem to be in the best health (mentally and physically) as his cheekbones are noticeably sunken in. However, the next rendition of adult Akkun has achieved his dream of becoming a hairdresser and is seemingly in a much better place in life, as his face looks much healthier; he’s even maintained his signature pompadour look from his younger years.
11 Chifuyu Matsuno
Chifuyu takes the role of Takemichi’s partner and confidant in his plans of reaching the top of Toman. Teenage Chifuyu has dyed blond hair, with a stylish undercut. As he matured into an adult, Chifuyu ditched the dye and decided to sport his natural hair color; keeping his signature undercut, but this time with his natural black hair.
Chifuyu, unlike Draken, decided to keep his piercing and still wears a single silver hoop on his left ear.
10 Shuji Hanma
Shuji Hanma is one of the main antagonists seen throughout the series. Hanma is a tall man and, although rather slim, a very powerful fighter. Teenage Hanma sports a slick haircut he styles upwards, with the sides shaved and a blond streak in the middle of his black hair. He also has two kanji characters that translate into “sin” and “punishment” tattooed on his right and left hands.
Adult Hanma dons a new, more sophisticated look. Turning away from his teenage delinquent days, adult Hanma has his hair slicked back in a more tousled way, keeping his blond streak but combing it out a bit more. Adult Hanma also paired the look with some glasses and kept his signature earring.
9 Tetta Kisaki
Tetta Kisaki is the main antagonist of the series and seems to be the source of all Takemichi’s problems. Teenage Kisaki is seen with gold upper framed glasses, an earring on his left ear, and a dyed blond crewcut he styles upward.
After the time skip, adult Kisaki keeps his dyed blond hair, but this time with the sides completely shaved and the rest parted to the side, paired with silver upper-framed glasses in place of his gold ones.
8 Pah-Chin (Haruki Hayashida)
Pah-chin has had his fair share of time in the spotlight throughout the first season of Tokyo Revengers. Pah-chin in his teenage years has dyed blond hair that he combs over to one side, with the sides clean-shaven. He also has splits in both of his eyebrows and a scar on his lip.

Adult Pah-chin isn’t too different from his teenage counterpart; at least in terms of his physical appearance. Pah-chin after the time skip is easily recognizable as he’s kept most of his most defining features, with the singular exception of his hair color as adult Pah-chin ditched the dye for his natural hair color.
7 Peh-Yan (Ryohei Hayashi)
Ryohei is more commonly known by his nickname, Peh-yan, and is Pah-chin’s good friend. Peh-yan is one of the few characters that haven’t changed at all after the time skip. Peh-yan is a tall man with short, very light brown hair. For the most part, Peh-yan looks the same between his teenage years and his adult years. His hair is generally the same, with the adult version of him having ever so slightly longer hair.
6 Mucho (Yasuhiro Muto)
Mucho is a man of few words, but even with how little screen time he got during the first season, he still managed to prove how powerful and capable he is on the field during the big Toman vs. Valhalla fight. Teenage Mucho sported a tough dyed-blond hairdo with the sides and back clean-shaven.
Mucho seems to have shed his former delinquent aesthetic and went for a much more clean-cut and professional look, growing out his hair to have a much more natural yet prim look as well as getting rid of the blond dye.
5 Smiley (Nahoya Kawata)
Smiley hasn’t received much attention throughout the first season so far, but he’s still made a lasting impression on fans thanks to his bright and cheery disposition. When audiences first met Smiley, his hair was peach-colored and styled in a rather messy/wavy way, and he had a few piercings on his left ear.
Adult Smiley didn’t change up his look too much, sporting a slightly longer hairdo, with waves rather than curls.
4 Makoto Suzuki
Makoto hasn’t gotten a ton of screen time in season one, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s always there to back up protagonist Takemichi when he needs help. Makoto is first seen with Takemichi in his teen years with a slicked-back hairstyle, cutting off right above his shoulder, similar to the style of a mullet.

Adult Makoto has so far made a very brief appearance, but it was clear from a single glance that he changed up his look. Time skip Makoto has the sides of his head shaved clean, with the addition of some new piercings on his left ear.
3 Takuya Yamamoto
Takuya is yet another one of Takemichi’s old friends from his childhood. Takuya’s teenage look consisted of his blond hair cut to shoulder-length with a middle parting. Meanwhile, the post-time skip of Takuya seems to have toughened up quite a bit, keeping his middle parting but growing his hair out a bit past his shoulders.
He also seems to have a rather large tattoo as it can be seen peeking out of the neckline of his shirt during his first appearance post-time skip.
2 Kazushi Yamagishi
Kazushi is the last member of Takemichi’s ragtag group of friends from his teenage years. Kazushi in his younger years had mid-length chestnut brown hair that he clipped up to keep his bangs out of his face. He also sported red upper-framed glasses.
Adult Kazushi seems to have a slightly more red-toned hair color that he’s grown out quite a bit as well. Kazushi is now seen with his long hair, pulled and tied back with a bit of waviness; as well as some new facial hair, circular silver-rimmed glasses, and a mysterious scar across his left eyebrow.
1 Nobutaka Osanai
Osanai is one of the most difficult characters to recognize after the time skip. Teenage Osanai was a delinquent and even served as a minor antagonist for a good portion of the first season. Osanai in his younger years had a bleach-blond pompadour and a rather large scar across his forehead.
Adult Osanai reverted to his natural hair color and has a rather unkempt look. He has a bit of scruff growing on his face as well as a few missing teeth.
