just some terms that might be usefull to know when reading Kotaro.

Tsurugamine Gakuen -- The high school that everyone attends, and that the early combats occur in. Is huge, and has everything one would expect of a school in a gag manga.

Fuuki-iinkai -- Morality committee, or decency league. This group includes Tenkouji and Mayumi, and a large cast of nameless minions (this is used in one gag, when two of the minions -- who commonly appear along with Tenkouji -- are referred to by facial features, because they've never been given names.) They usually keep the peace on the school grounds, but spend most of their time chasing Koutarou.

Jakotsukai The Snake Bones: Beni Bari's original gang. Controls about 1/3 of the school grounds, but few people are aware of its existence. The main HQ is located in the big school clock tower.

Hage -- Baldie. The one word that Tenkouji absolutely despises, and the one that Koutarou loves to use.

Tonfa -- A martial arts weapon, similar to a police night stick, with a handle along the side.

Nunchukus -- Shindou's favorite weapon, and one used extensively in Bruce Lee's movies: two pieces of hardwood connected together by a piece of rope.
