His first appearance in the Tokyo Revengers series includes his iconic black Tenjiku uniform that matches his brother’s. The collar has white edges and skulls on the front as well as a white line on the middle of the coat. The uniform also includes white gloves and a similar colored belt.

In all of the different variations except in his adult version, Ran Haitani has a long black braided pigtail hairstyle with blonde highlights, blonde eyebrows, piercing violet eyes, and earrings on both of his ears. He is also known to have a tattoo on the left portion of his back which was revealed in the volume cover.
Personality
At the start of the story, he seems like a silent character, his masks also make us think that, but later we find out he is not really just a shy boy. We find out that he is really a troublesome member of Toman.
He’s so troublesome that Manjiro Sano didn’t find a division that could manage him. So he directs him to the 5th division where he becomes good friends with the captain of the 5th division: Yasuhiro Muto. But even though they were good friends Sanzu believes that “the king is more important than anything else” and when Muto didn’t follow his ideals their friendship ended in a non-so-friendly way. (Chapter 206)
When he became a member of the criminal organization, Bonten. His personality went in a really bad direction. His personality in 2017 can be described in one word, PSYCHO. He kills people without any morals and smiles while doing it.
Strength And Skills
Impressive Fighting Abilities
Ran Haitani along with his brother Rindo are known to be one of the strongest delinquents in the Tokyo Revengers Series. They made their case clear when at just the age of 13, they committed a serious crime in the incident known as the “Roppongi Battle of the Ashes”.
When they went head-to-head with the captain and vice-captain of what was once the strongest gang in Tokyo called Roppongi “Kyougoku”, Ran immediately beat the captain with a single kick and obliterated the vice-captain with punches in the face while Rindo suppressed his ligaments. At the end of the fight, the vice-captain had a fractured skull, his face would cave in, and die (Chapter 160).
Influence
Ran Haitani along with his brother also had significant influence in the world of delinquents, especially in the Roppongi district.
According to Chifuyu, while the brothers were spectating the fight of Toman and Valhalla, the brothers could instantly summon a hundred men in one shout (Chapter 51).
They also increased their influence over the delinquents when Ran became one of the Four Heavenly Kings and Rindo was a top executive at Tenjiku (Chapter 155).

Past/History
The Haitani brothers started their journey as delinquents during the “Roppongi Battle of Ashes” where they defeated the Roppongi “Kyougoku”, the strongest gang in Tokyo at that time when they were just 13. This resulted in the death of the vice-captain of the gang, but Ran and Rindo didn’t stop there. They would continue their fighting spree and eventually rule over Roppongi even without the help of a gang. The brothers would be sent to a Juvenile Detention Center under the crime, “Inflicting Injury causing Death”. While in the juvenile detention center, they would meet the rest of the S-62 Generation which included Mucho, Mocchi, Izana, Kakucho, and Shion where they created chaos in the center (Chapter 160).
Once they left, they formed Tenjiku under Izana’s leadership. Ran Haitani was named as one of the Four Heavenly Kings along with Mocchi, Kakucho, and Shion Madarame (Chapter 155).

Izana Kurokawa
Izana Kurokawa was the president, founder of Tenjiku, and the leader of the S-62 Generation. Izana was also the half-brother of Manjiro Sano.

Shion Madarame
Shion Madarame was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Tenjiku and another member of the S-62 Generation which met up at the Juvenile Detention Center. He would prove to be the weakest of the top members of Tenjiku, losing to Peh-yan in just 1 punch (Chapter 154).
Yasuhiro Muto
Yasuhiro Muto was the former 5th Division Captain of Toman and a top executive of Tenjiku after his betrayal. He is also a part of the S-62 Generation and betrayed Toman because of his connection with Izana.
Rindo Haitani
Rindo Haitani is the brother of Ran and is the least famous of the two. Rindo’s specialty in fighting is tackling his opponent and targeting and breaking their joints. He usually fights together with Ran. Rindo is a top executive of Tenjiku and a member of the S-62 Generation.
Plot
Ran Haitani along with his brother first appeared in Chapter 54 of the Tokyo Revengers Manga series where they watched the battle of Toman and Valhalla.
They were next seen when Tenjiku finally launched ambushes on several members of Toman, and where Ran slammed a brick on Mitsuya’s head when he was trying to fight Mocchi (Chapter 128).
On the 22nd of February at the 7th Warf of Yokohama Bay, Toman led by Takemichi as their acting president would face-off against Tenjiku. With all of the Captains as well as Mikey and Draken gone except for Takemichi, Toman would valiantly charge at Tenjiku’s 400 members with only 50 of their own (Chapter 153, Chapter 154).
Ran and Rindo Haitani would face off against Hakkai and Angry which seemed to win in their favor at first since the Vice-Captains had no chemistry and Ran had a steel baton (Chapter 161). When they used their infamous tactic on Hakkai and continuously hit his face with the baton, Angry turned into the Crying Blue Ogre (Chapter 162). Rindo tried to subdue Angry but was instantly knocked out and while Ran was worried, Angry appeared behind him and smashed his head to the ground which signaled the defeat of the Haitani Brothers (Chapter 163).
After the fight, Ran along with the other Four Heavenly Kings and top executives would stay with Izana’s lifeless body and a severely wounded Kakucho. They would all be arrested when the police arrived (Chapter 185).

Conclusion
While the fight against Toman dictated the end of the Haitani brothers as well as Tenjiku itself, would this become Takemichi’s happy ending? There is still evil lurking around the corner and while Toman disbanded when they were at the top, there are still more problems awaiting Takemichi when he goes back to the present. Maybe there will come a time where the Haitani brothers will rise once more.
