Having spent the better half of his childhood as an orphan, subsisting on his late parents’ sizable inheritance and cared for by their estate’s attendants, Tokaji Uzaki chose to pass his time alone with an unusual hobby – constructing explosives. Soon upon entering junior high school, this unhealthy obsession quickly escalated to culminate in a series of minor bombings across Tokyo. After effortlessly eluding the local police for over a month, the Special Forces Group of the Japan Self-Defense Forces was mobilized within the city and soon caught Tokaji with his hand quite literally on the trigger. Needless to say, the general public and all parties involved were shocked to learn that a middle school boy was responsible – while his age prevented the release of his identity, the media dubbed him the “Chuunibyou Bomber” for his actions.

Still, intrigued by the unprecedented natural talents he possessed at such a young age, the incumbent Minister of Defense and Chief of Staff jointly chose to conscript him into the Special Forces Group in exchange for exonerating his treasonous deeds. Despite the initial outrage surrounding this move, Tokaji has since gained begrudged recognition over the years in light of the sheer results his unorthodox methods have wrought both on and off Japanese soil. Even so, the media regularly continues to slander him, claiming that he is such things as the military’s rabid attack dog, a clandestine terrorist for hire and a general menace to not only Japan but the world at large.
