Nekketsu High School

Nekketsu High School (熱血高校, ねっけつこうこう, Hot-Blooded High School^?) is the namesake institution of the series and the school where Kunio studies. The school is known for it's sports teams which often compete in national tournaments. Years prior, students were prayed upon by the delinquents from other schools, though this stopped by the time Kunio came around.
