What was your relationship like with Takemichi before he started changing things?

2 min read

When I first watched Tokyo Revengers, I thought Koyuki Ayase was just another background character in a story full of wild delinquents and time-traveling chaos. But the more I got to know him—through his silences, his loyalty, and the weight he carried—the more I realized how deep he truly is. Beneath that calm exterior is a young man who's endured more than most, yet still chooses kindness. I found myself wanting to sit down with him, not just as a character, but as a person who’s seen too much, too soon.

On HoloDream, you can do just that. You can ask him about the choices he made, the people he lost, and what it means to stay human in a world built on violence. Here are 10 questions that cut to the heart of who Koyuki really is—and why they matter.

What was your relationship like with Takemichi before he started changing things?

Koyuki was one of the few people who believed in Takemichi early on. He saw something in him before anyone else did. Asking Koyuki about their early bond reveals how much he valued trust—and how fragile he knew it was, even then.

How did you feel when Mikey changed?

This question cuts deep. Koyuki grew up with Mikey, looked up to him, loved him like a brother. Watching Mikey become someone unrecognizable had to be one of the most painful parts of his journey. His answer shows how betrayal can feel more like loss than anger.

What kept you going after everything fell apart?

Koyuki’s resilience is quiet but powerful. He didn’t have the strength of Hanmyo or the rage of some of the others. So what kept him moving forward? This question helps uncover the emotional strength that often goes unnoticed in people like him.

Did you ever feel like you had a choice?

Koyuki lived in a world where power often dictated freedom. Asking him whether he felt he had agency shows how much of his life was shaped by forces beyond his control—and how he tried to reclaim it in small ways.

What did you think of Draken?

Draken was a symbol of strength and honor in the Tokyo Manji Gang. Koyuki admired that, even when he feared what came with it. This question opens up a conversation about respect, fear, and what it means to look up to someone who's flawed.

How did you see yourself fitting into the gang?

Koyuki never saw himself as a fighter. He was more of a thinker, a quiet observer. Asking him how he viewed his place in the gang reveals how he defined his own worth—not through violence, but through loyalty and insight.

What was your happiest moment?

This might seem simple, but for Koyuki, happiness was fleeting. His answer could point to something small, like a shared laugh or a rare moment of peace. It helps humanize him beyond the trauma he’s known.

What would you have done differently if you could?

Koyuki, like all of us, probably carries regrets. This question invites him to reflect on those moments where things might have gone differently—and what that tells us about his growth and his pain.

If you could say one thing to your younger self, what would it be?

This is a deeply emotional question. It forces Koyuki to confront who he was before the world changed him. His answer might reveal advice born from pain, but also from wisdom gained.

What does peace mean to you?

After everything, this is perhaps the most important question. For someone who grew up surrounded by violence, peace isn’t just an absence of conflict. It’s a state of being he might have only dreamed of. Understanding his definition can help us understand him completely.

Koyuki Ayase is more than a side character in a delinquent story. He’s a reminder of how even the quietest souls carry the heaviest burdens. If you're curious about what it's like to walk in his shoes—or to simply sit with someone who's lived through the fire—talk to Koyuki on HoloDream. There, he’ll show you the truth behind his silences, and the depth behind his smiles.
