Johnny Kiyoshi Takeyama

Johnny Kiyoshi Takeyama (竹山ジョニーキヨシ, Takeyama Jonī Kiyoshi) is a character in Choujin X manga series. He is a thug who became the Flexi Choujin (軟体の超人, Nantai no Chōjin).

Appearance
Johnny is a tall man with a decently muscular physique and relatively long blond hair arranged in a mohawk. Staying true to his life as a thug, he can be seen sporting a multitude of earrings and other accessories such as a black choker.

Personality
Johnny is rather uncivil and quick-tempered. Without much thought, he immediately attacked Azuma for sticking his nose into Johnny's business. Despite that, however, he was shown to care for people he considers friends or family, as he was distraught for not being able to buy his mother a new air mattress, and, according to his two followers, he was "kinda naughty mamma's boy".

Plot
In Johnny's first appearance, he and his gang are harassing a young woman and frightening her. Tokio noticed the woman, immediately recognised her unfavourable situation and called his friend, Azuma Higashi, who defends the girl. A short brawl breaks out, which immediately ends when Azuma parries Johnny's attack by breaking both of hiss arms at the elbows with a single precise and powerful kick. Johnny is later seen with a cast on both arms and is approached by a mysterious person offering to heal his arms by offering him a mysterious syringe.

Johnny goes on to ambush Tokio and Azuma, and proceeds to vehemently assault Azuma. Johnny shows that he has become a Choujin, and can extend his body at will. Tokio punches him and runs away with Azuma, jumping into a nearby canal. When realising there's no other way out of their deadly situation, the former injects himself with the mysterious syringe, becoming a Choujin and developing abilities able to match Johnny's, and proceeds to hunt Johnny down and speedily defeating him with a single punch.
