Great Teacher Onizuka: Season 1

Meet Eikichi Onizuka, a former motorcycle gang leader and college karate champ with a talent for causing trouble. At 22, he's crude, foul-mouthed, and always ready for a fight. But when he meets a schoolgirl who agrees to go out with him, he's smitten - and decides to become a teacher to impress her. Armed with a second-rate teaching degree and a hair-trigger temper, Onizuka takes on a job at an elite private middle school where the students are as smart as they are mischievous. Determined to make a difference, he uses his unorthodox methods to reach out to each student and help them overcome their problems, even if it means putting himself in harm's way. With his unique blend of philosophy, humor, and street smarts, Onizuka sets out to become the greatest teacher ever - and maybe even win over the girl of his dreams along the way. But will his unconventional approach to education be enough to tame the school's notorious problem class, or will he find himself in over his head?
