He is often seen with a hip flash which he frequently drinks from.

Plot

History

Kishibe met with Himeno as she visited her old buddy's graves in a cemetary. He explains to her that the type of devil hunters that devils fear the most isn't the strongest or the bravest but the craziest, which is why all of her former partners, who were too sane, are dead. He asks about Aki and talks about the Gun Devil which all hunters dream of capturing. His words have a profound effect on her as she realizes that Aki may make it to the Gun Devil but he isn't crazy enough to survive.

Himeno recalled Kishibe's words to her in the cemetary as she watched Denji battle the Eternity Devil.

Katana Man arc

Makima leads Denji and Power into a cemetary to meet the man who will train them. Before she can introduce him he tells her to be quiet and asks Denji and Power some questions in order to ascertain what type of people they are. He rates their answers with a perfect score and tells Makima that she can go as training will begin immediately. He introduces himself to Denji and Power by wrapping his arms around their necks and snapping them.

Bomb Girl arc

Kishibe visits the aftermath of the Special Division's battle against Reze and the Typhoon Devil. He explains to Aki about a fairy tale in the Soviet Union about children who are kidnapped by the army and trained to be soldiers from a young age, and the Reze is one of those children.

International Assassins arc

Kishibe meets with Makima to discuss the various threats that will be coming after Denji now that his identity has been released on the news. Makima comments that Quanxi is apparently coming to Japan which Kishibe isn't keen about as he considers her to be one of the strongest fighters on the planet and that she'll be tricky to handle. Makima comments that the one they'll really need to watch out for is Germany's Santa Claus. Kishibe asks her if she really thinks he'll come and she acknowledges that there is a rumor that he died of old age which Kishibe prays is true.

Abilities

Kishibe has described himself as the strongest devil hunter.

Enhanced Strength: Kishibe is extremely strong for a human; he was able to pick Denji and Power up off the ground with one arm each and snap their necks with neither of them being able to stop him.

Enhanced Speed: Kishibe is an extremely quick fighter; able to dodge Denji's slash and counter-attack by stabbing him several times before Denji could react, and slash Power's throat before she could start her own attack.

Skillset

Knifemanship: Kishibe is very proficient at using knives in combat; after evading Denji's strike he repeatedly stabbed Denji in the back before driving the knife up through his jaw and into his brain, before slashing Power's throat.
