Heisuke Okami/Live Action

Heisuke Okami (大神平助, Ōkami Heisuke) is one of the side characters in Policeman and Me, the live action adaptation of My Boy in Blue. He is portrayed by Mahiro Takasugi.

He is introduced in the film as a delinquent, who reluctantly gets involved in a fight between his gang and Kota Sagano, who had arrived to save Kako Motoya, whom the other delinquents were harassing. He accidentally ends up being indirect the cause for why Kako and Kota decide to get married.

Appearance
Unlike his manga counterpart, whose dyed hair is a shade of grey, Heisuke's hair is blonde, with his darker coloured roots showing from underneath.

The Oto High School uniforms were changed from the manga, having been turned into a typical gakuran, which consists of a black jacket and black pants, with a white shirt underneath. Outside, Heisuke wears a pair of Timberland (like) shoes with his uniform, whilst wearing the school's blue and white sneakers inside the school. Additionally, Heisuke is shown wearing different t-shirts underneath his jacket and dress shirt. During his free time he is often shown wearing ripped jeans with different t-shirts and flanel shirts hanging from his waste. His ears are pierced.

His work uniform is a pink teddybear suit, which is an adaptational version of Jiro's bunny suit from the manga.

At the Oto High School cultural festival, Heisuke is shown wearing the police officer uniform, which Kako had helped to design by borrowing Kota's uniform.

Personality
Heisuke is shown to be a rather quiet person, who is deep down very well meaning, just involved with the wrong crowd. He is much less prone for getting embarrassed over his relationship with Kota than his manga counterpart, and is much more openly friendly toward the older man at the end of the movie than he ever was in the source material.

He is somewhat socially awkward, as seen in him being somewhat uncomfortable hanging out with Kako and her friends, but also when he did not know how to make a funny face for the camera and when he hugged Kako to comfort her after he found her crying in the school hallway.

All around, he is more timid and withdrawn than his manga counterpart.

Background
Heisuke comes from a low-income family, and his mother is seemingly being blackmailed by her alcoholic boyfriend. Because of his troubled homelife, Heisuke is involved in gang activity, and has to work part-time jobs to support his mother. He and his gang of delinquents have had multiple run-ins with the police, however, Heisuke is clearly the nicest member in the gang.
