Takashi Mitsuya Workout: Train like a Founding Member of Toman!

Tokyo Revengers Season 2 is here and it’s taking the anime world by storm.

We already have a full Tokyo Revengers Inspired Workouts Database, but we can’t continue on without filling it up with more founding members and season two newcomers.

That’s why this week, in order to prepare for all the newcomers that are already beginning to be requested, we’re bringing in Takashi Mitsuya!

Takashi, AKA Joker is a founding member of Tokyo Manji Gang, and we’re going to break down his whole background and abilities below to build the best routine for him.

This one is going to be built around calisthenics for all our members of the bodyweight group in The SHJ Army; so if you’re looking for weight training you’ll probably want to choose a different character.

Takashi Mitsuya Stats:

Real Name: Takashi Mitsuya

Height: 5’7

Weight: 125 lbs.

Anime: Tokyo Revengers

Powers: No

Takashi is fairly short, but he stands in right around what the new average height is among male anime characters.

We used to consider that around 5’5-5’6, which is definitely short compared to other male superheroes and celebrities we’ve seen, but we’ve had a good handful of behemoths and other tall anime characters joining our Anime Workouts Database slowly bringing up the average range.

Wolverine was the shortest spot among comic characters we’ve seen at 5’3, prior to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles coming in at 5’2, (and Gimli even shorter) – but Damian Wayne (Robin) is only 5’4.  Goku isn’t that tall either, though, standing only 5’7, with Miles Morales only an inch above him.

One Punch Man falls in at 5’9 right there with Ryu, Nightwing at 5’10, and then Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Green Arrow coming in around 5’11 and Beast joining them.

We’ve had Superman and Eddie Brock’s Venom at 6’3, and Captain America, Scorpion and Batman at 6’2, and Carnage at 6’1. Thor and Cyborg are towering over them at 6’6, Thanos and King right there with them at 6’7, Bane at 6’8, and Deathstroke right below at 6’5, and Black Manta at 6’4.

Ronan and Sagat are 7’5, and Doomsday came in at 8’10, and I doubt any characters are touching that anytime soon.

But, don’t worry if you’re not the same height or weight range.

We write these routines to be utilized by anyone and everyone.

Takashi Mitsuya Diet and Nutrition

**Keep in mind: this section will be nearly identical for each hero.**

Every hero needs to still have a good diet.

Unfortunately we can train like them, but I don’t think any of us are suddenly getting their powers, or the ability to magically stop caring about nutrition.

You can’t out train your diet, so I want to still give some pillars for nutrition.

You can start by checking out The Nutrition Pillars on the site, but I’ll break down some more information for you guys as well.

Guys like Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart incorporate 80/20 dieting with big weekly cheat meals, Hugh Jackman, Tom Hopper, Benedict Cumberbatch and Terry Crews utilize intermittent fasting (something I use daily as well), Ariana Grande, Mustafa Shakir and Madelaine Petsch are vegans, Brandon Routh and Frank Grillo opt for paleo, and tons of others utilize their own variations as well.

It’s all about sustainability.

AND, there are a thousand different ways to reach your goals, so finding the most sustainable way is what’s important.

Which is why our Academy utilizes multiple different Nutrition Classes (Greek Gods, Vikings, Spartans, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Samurais, Minimalists, SuperHumans) to allow people to choose what is right for YOU!

Curious where over a hundred celebs fall in their dietary choices ranging from High Protein and Keto to Vegetarian, Vegan and Intermittent Fasting? Want exclusive celeb meal plans? Check this out.

Takashi Mitsuya Workout Routine Research

We’ve made it to “the fun part”.

And, if you don’t know by now, I say that every single time we get to the workout routine research section for character workouts.

To learn more about Takashi Mitsuya I’ll be pulling right from his Wiki Fandom page starting with:

Takashi Mitsuya is a founding member and the Second Division Captain of the Tokyo Manji Gang. He is the older brother of Luna and Mana Mitsuya.

We already knew most of this information, and it doesn’t necessary help us other than knowing if you’re a founding member and captain in Toman that must mean you’re strong.

That said, I do want to share a snippet of Takashi Mitsuya’s appearance section as well to help us build this one out:

Mitsuya is a young man with droopy lavender eyes, short silver-lilac hair, and a muscular body. He has a concealed dragon tattoo identical to Ken Ryuguji’s on his right temple and a black huggie earring in a cross design on his left ear. When not on gang duty, he wears a variety of casual outfits or the mandatory school uniform. When he was a member of Tokyo Manji Gang, Mitsuya was most often seen wearing its uniform with the white sash.

The only thing that really helps us here is the fact that they acknowledge Takashi Mitsuya’s muscular body – which is something we don’t necessarily get to see in the anime/manga.

From there we can move down into his fighting abilities and physical prowess, which they describe as follows:

As the Second Division Captain, Mitsuya is shown to have strong fighting skills. He is also well known for his fighting skills among the other gangs. He was able to evenly trade blows with Taiju Shiba for a while. Additionally, Mocchi noted that he was impressed with Mitsuya’s fighting skills. Mitsuya was able to take numerous punches from the powerful Taiju Shiba and also survived a blow to the head with a metal pipe from Seishu Inui, who is known for his fighting skills.

We know Shiba is super strong; so that is a big compliment.

Our mission for this one is pretty clear.

The goals for our Takashi Mitsuya Inspired Workout are:

• Takashi Mitsuya’s Lean and Toned Aesthetic
• Takashi Mitsuya’s Speed and Strength
• Takashi Mitsuya’s Fighter Endurance

We’ve had a ton of calisthenics workouts inside of our Tokyo Revengers Inspired Workouts so for this one I’m still sticking to bodyweight training but we’re going to switch it up a bit for you guys jumping in looking to train like Takashi Mitsuya.

This one will be most similar to Smiley’s or Chifuyu’s routine but I’ll be throwing in some twists while also scaling it back ever so slightly so we can have beginners and intermediate fitness level members jump right in, even if it takes a little scaling.
