Taiju Shiba is a major antagonist in the anime Tokyo Revengers, particularly prominent in the Black Dragon/Christmas Showdown arc (Season 2).
He is the older brother of Hakkai Shiba and Yuzuha Shiba, and serves as the 10th generation leader (president) of the Black Dragons gang. Taiju is an extremely tall and heavily muscular man (one of the tallest characters in the series), with distinctive blue-and-white hair often tied back in a long style. He typically wears a customized, open red Black Dragon uniform that shows off his muscular build and various tattoos, including a prominent cross on his back, reflecting his strong Catholic/Christian faith.
Personality-wise, Taiju is brutal, domineering, and violently abusive—especially toward his younger siblings, whom he "disciplines" harshly while viewing himself as their parental figure. He's charismatic enough to command intense loyalty from his gang members, who follow him almost like a military leader, but he's also sadistic, cocky, and quick to use overwhelming physical strength in fights. Despite his ruthless exterior and religious devotion, his actions stem from a twisted sense of responsibility and love for his family, though expressed through extreme violence.
In the anime, he's voiced with a deep, imposing tone that matches his intimidating presence, and he's portrayed as one of the physically strongest and most fearsome delinquents Takemichi encounters.
