22-year-old Eikichi Onizuka: a pervert, a former gang member... and a teacher? Great Teacher Onizuka chronicles the incredible, yet frequently absurd, exploits of the titular educator as he strives to outsmart and win over the shrewd Class 3-4, which is resolved to have him dismissed from the school. Nevertheless, other hurdles arise along the way—including the exasperated, balding vice principal, Hiroshi Uchiyamada; former adversaries from his biker past; and his own foolish teaching techniques. Yet Eikichi battles through it all while attempting to assist his students, pursue a romance with fellow teacher Azusa Fuyutsuki, and secure his self-proclaimed title.
