Ten: Tenhō-dōri no Kaidanji (天 天和通りの快男児, lit. Ten: The Nice Guy on the Path of Tenhō[a]) is a mahjong-centric Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nobuyuki Fukumoto. It was serialized in Takeshobo's Kindai Mahjong Gold from 1989 to 2002, with its chapters collected in eighteen tankōbon volumes. Considered a hit in Japan, it was followed by a prequel focusing on one of the supporting characters Akagi in 1991.

A sequel series, set 3 years after the events of Ten, titled HERO: Akagi no Ishi o Tsugu Otoko, written and illustrated by Jirō Maeda with Fukumoto's collaboration, ran in Kindai Mahjong from October 2009 to July 2021. Another sequel, set 20 years after the events of Ten, titled Yami-ma no Mamiya, written and illustrated by Fukumoto, began in Kindai Mahjong in July 2019.

By August 2018, the manga had over 7 million copies in circulation.

Plot

[edit]

The story begins when Hiroyuki Igawa, who has a deep knowledge of the "logic" of mahjong, meets Takashi Ten, who runs a mahjong contracting business. Ten is a rep player with an unrivaled competitive edge and a strong will to win, and Hiroyuki begins to admire Ten and immerse himself in the world of mahjong. Eventually, Ten and Hiroyuki meet legendary mahjong player Shigeru Akagi, known as the "Man of the Divine Realm," as well as some of the best current mahjong players in the Kansai area, Katsumi Harada and Mitsui Soga, as they take on the challenge of fighting to determine the top of the Japanese underground mahjong world.

Characters

[edit]

East

[edit]
Takashi Ten (天 貴史, Ten Takashi)
Portrayed by: Gorō Kishitani
A gambler (rep player) with an unparalleled competitive edge and a strong will. Despite having a history of winning against mahjong opponents through cheating, he is good-natured, loyal and compassionate, and at some point he changes his mind and acts from the standpoint of the weak. His kindness is sometimes directed at his opponents, and he occasionally acts to his detriment in order to preserve their honor, with the scars on his body being the remnants of this behavior. He is in a polygamous marriage, with two wives.
Hiroyuki Igawa (井川 ひろゆき, Igawa Hiroyuki)
Portrayed by: Yuki Furukawa
A young man who plays reasonably logical mahjong. In the first chapter, he appears as an entrance exam student, and as the story progresses, he ages to that of a university student and then a working man. Nicknamed Hiro, he initially played mahjong just to earn some money, but he gradually started to seek better opponents. He is drawn to the world of serious rep players and admires and respects Ten and Akagi with all his heart. Extremely intelligent, his ability to calculate and observe like a computer has impressed even Ten and other veteran gamblers, but he has a tendency to rely on logic too much and act too cautiously, which has often caused him to be outsmarted by his opponents.
Shigeru Akagi (赤木 しげる, Akagi Shigeru)
Portrayed by: Eisaku Yoshida
A legendary gambler who relies only on his own abilities without any support. He once reigned at the top of the underworld for about three years, but retired early because of his principle that position and fame would bind him. He has been called "a man of the divine realm," "fierce god," and "a once-in-a-century genius," and has countless legends to his credit. A fearless mahjong player with a natural ability to combine calmness and brilliance, he has a spirit of extraordinary wisdom and fearlessness towards death, as well as strong luck and intuition that is said to reach the godly realm. His view of life and death, in which he regarded himself as part of a larger cycle of life, and in which he dedicated himself to living his life "as Shigeru Akagi" without being bound by common sense or profit and loss, has become a source of discussion for many fans.
His childhood and young adulthood is described in the spin-off prequel Akagi, which has been made into V-Cinema films, an anime and a TV drama, and has become a popular work.
Ginji Asai (浅井 銀次, Asai Ginji)
Portrayed by: Yōji Tanaka
Once known as "Triple Run Ginji", he is the best player in Tokyo living in Shinjuku. His signature weapon is marking certain tiles. Despite his old age, he has a high level of perception that shows no signs of declining, and he has a crafty marking technique that goes beyond ordinary people's way of thinking. Due to the nature of his skills, he hates being exposed to the public eye and has never participated in major events.
Ken Igarashi (五十嵐 健, Igarashi Ken)
Portrayed by: Hidetoshi Hoshida
A young man who graduated from junior high school and claims that mahjong is his only redeeming feature. Like Hiroyuki, he is a young player participating in the East-West battle. He looks up to Ten as his older brother. He has a strong desire to rise in the world, and although he is a West player, in the East-West tournament, he stays with the East camp, which is at a disadvantage because of its thin layer of players.
Hitoshi Washio (鷲尾 仁, Washio Hitoshi)
One of the "North's Top Two" and the best player in Hokkaido. In the East-West tournament, he fights with Hiroyuki for a place in the finals. It appears that he and Akagi were close friends, and he went to Hawaii with Kanamitsu.
Shūzō Kanamitsu (金光 修蔵, Kanamitsu Shūzō)
Portrayed by: Ryōsei Tayama
One of the "North's Top Two" along with Washio. He is the chief priest of Seikan Temple, a mahjong temple in Iwate Prefecture in Tōhoku region. Like Washio, he has been close to Akagi for a long time, and because of this relationship, he becomes a monk in the final arc who takes on the role of taking care of Akagi's personal affairs, but he somewhat regrets his decision to accept the role and is distressed by it.

West

[edit]
Katsumi Harada (原田 克美, Harada Katsumi)
Portrayed by: Koji Matoba
The leader of a gang in Osaka, one of the leading gangs in the Kansai area, and the organizer of the East-West battle, being the head of West. He is the best active player in the game and has been called "the king of the active players" and "the second coming of Akagi." His murderous tactics have been called "man-slaying mahjong" by Ten, and his sharpness has been likened to a straight-edge Japanese sword. Despite being a ruthless and forceful man who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, his roots come from his fascination with mahjong, and in the final battle, in order to settle the score with Ten, he gave up his own interests and sought a two-player mahjong match with him.
Mitsui Soga (僧我 三威, Soga Mitsui)
Portrayed by: Denden
A legendary figure who won for more than ten years and was undefeated. Known as a "monster," he was the best player in the underworld until Akagi's appearance. Although he lacks Akagi's glamour and Harada's murderous spirit, he has an extremely high level of intuition that allows him to see the "darkness of mahjong" in a way that ordinary players cannot understand, and he has an uncanny ability to sneak up on players and attack them. After reigning as the lord of the underworld for over a decade, he retired, but his career was then blurred by the glamorous exploits of Akagi, who later also reigned over the underworld. Therefore, he has an almost hateful rivalry with Akagi, confronting him directly on many occasions.
Akutsu (阿久津)
Portrayed by: Takuya Nagaoka
A player from the San'in region who stays in the East-West finals. In fact, he was the only player to go undefeated in the East and West rounds.
Mitsui (三井)
Portrayed by: Noboru Kaneko
A player who remains in the finals but is at the mercy of Akagi's play.
Nangō (南郷)
A player from Hakata. In the second East-West preliminary match, he has the advantage in every game, but is chipped apart in small ways by Soga's marked tiles in the first round, Ten's tenacity in the next round, and Hiroyuki's clever schemes in the last round.
Sakaguchi (坂口)
A player who speaks with a Kansai dialect and fights against Akagi in the first East-West preliminary match.
Yoshii (吉井)
A player who, on Harada's orders, is replaced in the middle of the game by Ogami due to faking a sickness.
Kei Ogami (尾神 桂, Ogami Kei)
An assassin prepared by Harada to counter Ten, he is a hitman-like player who prioritizes the task of defeating Ten rather than winning. Even Harada was impressed by his heretical tactics, admitting he doesn't feel his humanity and that he didn't expect him to be such a pro.

Miscellaneous

[edit]
Sawada (沢田)
Portrayed by: Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi
One of the main characters in "Ten" in the early chapters. A chivalrous person full of humanity who yearns for the Toei yakuza of old. He discovered Hiroyuki's potential as a rep player when he sat down with him at a mahjong parlor and scouted him out. He used to have a wife and kids. Though he doesn't appear again after the beginning of the East-West tournament, he makes a reappearance in the spin-off series HERO.
Nakanishi (中西)
Portrayed by: Hajime Okayama
The owner of a ramen shop. He teams up with Ten and fights against Hiroyuki and Sawada.
Murota (室田)
Portrayed by: Kazuyuki Aijima
One of the best rep players in Osaka. His weapon of choice is "unloading mahjong", a technique that allows him to drop his opponent from the game under pressure. When Akagi received a request from a land shark to be a rep player, he is introduced by Murota to the team as his representative, making it appear that Akagi and Murota were close friends.
Urabe (浦部)
A professional rep player kept by the yakuza who appears in Akagi's recollections as someone he once fought.
Iwao Washizu (鷲巣 巌, Washizu Iwao)
The man who ruled Japan from behind the scenes in the late Showa era and appears in Akagi's recollections as someone he once fought.
