* Manga
* Anime

**Hige** (ヒゲ *Hige*) is one of the many **bookkeepers** of **Konjiki no Gash!!** He's **Zobolon's** human partner and reader of the brown-gray **spell book**. He and Zobolon are one of the many enemy teams **Gash Bell** and **Kiyomaro Takamine** face in battle. They worked together alongside **Rupa** and **Leopardon** **Papipurio** in hopes of becoming one of the most powerful teams in the **battle to decide king**.

## Appearance

Hige is an adult man with short dark brown hair, and dark brown eyes and a thick beard. He wears a brimless yellow cap with diamond stripes and diamond patterns all over, a loose beige tunic also decorated with repeating diamond stripes near the bottom rim, and brown sandals.

## Personality

Hige is both rather blunt and self centered seeking whatever means necessary it takes to become powerful which lead him to teaming up with Papipurio and Rupa regardless of his evident lack of chemistry with either of them. In addition, he can also be rather hot-headed and argumentative which can be seen during his battle against Gash and **Tio** as he's quick to bicker with both Papipurio and Rupa. He's also shown to be eager to make hasty decisions on his own despite being teammates with the two. He's also somewhat cowardly as well which was especially seen when he uses Papipurio as a shield to protect himself from incoming attacks without much consideration for Papipurio's well-being.
