Skateboard Gang
CharacterThe Skateboard Gang is a trio of young skateboarders, Mit, Toshi, and Yama, who hang around the streets of Karakura Town. Their only real brush with the story comes in the very first chapter, when they run afoul of Ichigo Kurosaki over a disrespected roadside shrine.
Overview
Mit, Toshi, and Yama form a small band of skateboarding kids who roam Karakura Town. In the English release they are nicknamed Lil Mitch, Lil' Toshi, and Yama-Bro respectively.
Role
Their sole appearance falls in the Agent of the Shinigami arc, where the boys knock over the flowers set out as an offering for the ghost of a little girl. Ichigo Kurosaki drops Yama to the ground over the offense, and when Toshi angrily protests he is kicked in the face as well. Ichigo then singles out Mit, who correctly names the flowers as an offering before catching a kick of his own, and the whole group scatters once Ichigo and the girl's spirit frighten them off.
