Hige (Wolf's Rain)

Hige is one of the main characters from the Wolf's Rain series.
== Charactah Account ==
A Mexican Wolf with a carefree attitude, who seems quite comfortable living in human society. After meeting Kiba, he goes along with the idea of searching for Paradise without much argument. Despite his easy-going and apparent laziness, he does hide some secrets of his own.
Hige is one of the more sensible members of the pack. He'd rather strategize than run right into battle, unlike Kiba or Tsume. He tends to use his intuition more than the others, but only when he is not thinking with his stomach instead.

== Trivia ==
* Voice actor, Akio Suyama notes that "Hige is a humorous character whose actions and lines often break the tension in an otherwise serious series." This made it fun for him to play the character.
* In the anime, Hige forms a relationship with Blue. In the manga, he does not.
* The collar that Hige wears is actually a transmitter that allowed Jaguara to keep track of him.
* Hige is the only wolf in Kiba's pack who does not commit a kill.
* He is the only wolf in Kiba's pack to form a romantic relationship —in the anime.
* He is the third of the wolf protagonist to die, first mortally wounded by Darcia III slicing through his throat, but survives; Tsume commits a coup de grâce, formally ending Hige's life.
* Hige is referred to as "Number 23" by Jaguara's soldiers in Lost City, and the letter on his collar is 'X'. This is seemingly odd because the letter X is the 24th letter of the alphabet. However, 'X' is the 23rd letter of the Cyrillic alphabet. According to Britannica, "It is currently used exclusively or as one of several alphabets for more than 50 languages, notably Belarusian, Bulgarian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Macedonian, Montenegrin (spoken in Montenegro; also called Serbian), Russian, Serbian, Tajik (a dialect of Persian), Turkmen, Ukrainian, and Uzbek." This makes more sense seeing as some of the characters and aspects of the culture of Wolf's Rain appear to be Russian inspired.
