GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka - TV series

Ex-biker gone to college Onizuka decides to become a high school teacher, motivated by desires that would upset the parents of any teen aged daughter. But this highly short tempered and violent fellow also has a sincerity and concern for his students that shapes his actions in virtuous, if very unconventional, ways.

Cultural Details: Modern school and urban life.

Cautions:
Sexual humor, often at Onizuka's expense, and some violence, often at Onizuka's hands.
However the manga is stronger and is not recommended for kids.
