Jube Namimaru
CharacterJube Namimaru dresses like every delinquent stereotype Japan has on file and turns out to be one of the friendlier people in the neighborhood. He is a Pop☆Step fan first, a middle schooler second, and he grows swords out of his wrists.
Occupations
Appearance
Short and thickset for a middle schooler, Jube leads with his chops, which are the first thing anyone registers. The rest is Yankii kit: a black jacket left open, sleeves folded back, hem torn, a plain white t-shirt underneath, black pants, sandals. A peaked black cap tops it, with an x-shaped buckle sitting at its crown and a torn back that merges into his hair.
Personality
He looks like trouble and reads as aggressive on sight, and neither impression survives contact. With friends he is warm and easy. He follows Pop☆Step closely, and that loyalty is enough to put him beside the Vigilantes when they go after the people moving Trigger. Left to himself, his favorite activity is slacking off.
