Hideto Bandou is a former member of The Front of Armament's third generation. He was originally supposed to be the second generation armament head Sugata Kazushi's successor, who was lost to a tragic motorcycle accident in which he was hit by a drunk driver. His passing would devastate Bandou, losing the mentor whom he idolized.

Because of Kazushi's death Bandou would never obtain the title of the Armament's third generation head, instead the second generation's former vice head Kunou Hideomi would take the opportunity to take power and use TFOA for his own benefits, Bandou was forced to remain a lowly pawn under Hideomi's corrupt armament. Hideomi's leadership took a negative toll on him and the armament, never viewing the Team he'd come to love the same again.

Gaining a new resolve, Bandou hatched a plan with two of his fellow armament members and together they sought to take back TFOA from Hideomi. First they had to build up strength in numbers, to do this they opted to enroll at the legendary delinquent school SuzuranAll-Boys High. During his second year at Suzuran his own ambitions for the school would have to wait due to the ongoing conflict between Serizawa Tamao and Genji Takiya who's factions, the Serizawa Army and the GPS were at war for control of Suzuran during their third year. He and his group later assisted Genji Takiya's GPS during the final battle with Serizawa.

Eventually forming the Bandou Ippa, In his third year Bandou would almost obtain complete dominance over Suzuran High,however he met resistance from three second years known as the Ebizuka Trio whom he was at War with when Harumichi Bouya enrolled at Suzuran and ultimately defeated him.
