Kishibe

== Kishibe ==
=== Status ===
Alive
Kishibe is a Public Safety Devil Hunter from Tokyo Special Division 1, but after the assault on the Special Divisions, he became captain of the Tokyo Special Division 4.
== Appearance ==
Kishibe is a tall, grizzled man with scraggly facial hair and a stitched scar running across his left cheek from his mouth. In his young adult years, his hair was black, but it has turned grey with age. Additionally, Kishibe has two piercings on his left ear and one on his right ear. He typically wears the standard Public Safety Devil Hunter uniform, complimented by a large overcoat.
He is often seen with a silver hip flask which he frequently drinks from.
== Personality ==
Kishibe is a jaded, straightforward individual. Due to his immense strength and skill, he often undertakes his work with a calm formality, displaying little emotion as he does so. Though he tends to speak in a relaxed, polite manner, his actions often showcase an immense brutality garnered through many years of Devil Hunting. Though he sometimes expresses emotions such as surprise and sadness at certain events, his face and voice remain entirely neutral.
Despite this stoicism, Kishibe has proven on numerous occasions to be something of a sentimental and emotional individual. During his training of Leo and Power, despite his stated hatred of Fiends and Devils, he grows affectionate towards the pair, telling Makima of his concerns for their safety. He later takes care of Meowy for them as a favor when they go on a trip. Similarly, he refuses to look at the corpse of Quanxi upon her death due to their implied past-friendship, despite the two's attempts to kill one another earlier in the day.
Kishibe has been hunting devils for a long time, making him somewhat insane. He espouses a belief that the most fearsome devil hunters to devils isn't the brave or the strong, but the craziest as they are the ones without fear.
Kishibe told Leo and Power that he prefers to be called 'Master' while training them. He admits that he enjoys booze, women and killing devils.
== Abilities ==
Kishibe has contracts with at least three devils which have described as being "fairly dangerous".
=== Physical Prowess ===
* Enhanced Strength: Kishibe is extremely strong for a human; he was able to pick Leo and Power up off the ground with one arm each and snap their necks with neither of them being able to stop him. With simple punches he could break weapons formed out of Power's hardened blood.
* Enhanced Speed: Kishibe is an extremely quick fighter; able to dodge Leo's slash and counter-attack by stabbing him several times before Leo could react, and slash Power's throat before she could start her own attack.
* Enhanced Reflexes: Kishibe has superhuman reflexes, being able to dodge a spear at point-blank range which was thrust through the door in front of him by surprise and react to incoming attacks from directly above him.
* Enhanced Durability: Kishibe could survive being thrown out of a window and falling hard enough to crush the roof of a car, though he did slow his descent by stabbing a knife into the side of the building.
=== Devil Contracts ===
* Claw Devil Contract: Kishibe has a contract with the Claw Devil for an unknown price.
* Knife Devil Contract: Kishibe has a contract with the Knife Devil for an unknown price.
* Needle Devil Contract: Kishibe has a contract with the Needle Devil for an unknown price.
=== Skillset ===
* Knifemanship: Kishibe is very proficient at using knives in combat; after evading Leo's strike he repeatedly stabbed Leo in the back before driving the knife up through his jaw and into his brain, before slashing Power's throat. He also has great marksmanship, as he was able to throw his knife accurately down a hallway to hit Leo in the head.
* Hand-to-Hand Combat: Kishibe is skilled in hand-to-hand combat. When Leo attempted to attack him from behind Kishibe could spin and kick in a single fluid motion to strike Leo's head and leave him incapacitated.
