Hitoshi Sugoroku is the younger brother of Hajime Sugoroku, known for his feminine looks and love for dressing in Lolita fashion, which often confuses those around him about his gender.
He stands out in the prison both for his unique style and his surprisingly friendly, approachable personality, winning the attention of inmates and staff alike.
Hitoshi is always mistaken for a beautiful girl due to his strikingly feminine features.
He favors Lolita-style clothing in his casual wear, choosing elaborate and cute dresses.
His hair is styled in twin side updos, accentuating his delicate appearance.
Even after being appointed as a guard, he customizes his uniform to fit his personal taste.
Hitoshi is cheerful and outgoing, often bridging the gap between guards and inmates with his friendliness.
He tends to get scolded for being too casual and close with prisoners.
Despite his looks, he is tough and resilient, sharing the family's legendary durability.
He has a sense of fun and doesn't mind surprising or confusing others with his gender presentation.
Hitoshi Sugoroku is 22 years old and has Type AB blood.
He is the younger brother of Hajime Sugoroku, though they don't look alike at all.
Before becoming a formal prison guard, he met several main inmates during a temporary assignment arranged by Mitsuru Hitokoe.
While lacking in athletic ability and running slower than Jyugo, Hitoshi possesses extraordinary durability.
He can withstand being slammed into concrete multiple times without injury, a trait he shares with his brother Hajime.
His endurance makes him surprisingly reliable in physical confrontations, despite his delicate appearance.
His older brother is Hajime Sugoroku, the seemingly stoic and powerful chief guard.
When the main four inmates of Block 13 (Jyugo, Uno, Nico, Rock) first met Hitoshi, they mistook him for a girl and were very excited, only to be disappointed when his true gender was revealed.
Uno and Rock, in particular, have trouble believing Hitoshi is related to Hajime due to their contrasting appearances.
Mitsuru Hitokoe initially arranged for Hitoshi to work as a guard for a day, which eventually led to his full-time appointment as a guard for Block 4.
Hitoshi’s favorite fashion is Lolita, and he takes great care in choosing his outfits.
His voice when waking up is said to be indistinguishable from Hajime’s, despite their wildly different personalities.
He is often compared to a rabbit, while his brother is jokingly called a fierce gorilla.
“I just like cute clothes! Is that so strange?”
“People always mistake me for a girl, but I don’t really mind.”
“It’s okay, I’m tougher than I look!”
Initial Encounter with Block 13
When Hitoshi first visits the visiting room, he is mistaken for a girl by Jyugo and his friends, leading to a whirlwind of excitement among the inmates.
The mood shifts when they learn he is actually Hajime’s little brother, causing quite a letdown.
His innocence and friendliness slowly win over even the most skeptical inmates.
Becoming a Guard
Thanks to Mitsuru Hitokoe’s intervention, Hitoshi is assigned as a substitute guard for Block 13 for one day.
His positive attitude and openness help ease tensions between staff and inmates.
He is soon officially appointed as the guard of Block 4, where his unique approach continues to leave an impression.
Despite his appearance, Hitoshi does not shy away from challenges and tries to earn respect on his own merit.
He is proud of his identity and remains unfazed by others’ misunderstandings or jokes about his looks.
No matter how many times he gets knocked down, Hitoshi’s spirit and smile remain unbreakable.
