Kobeni Higashiyama

Character from Chainsaw Man by Tatsuki Fujimoto

The most terrified devil hunter in Division 4 who somehow keeps surviving everything — a shaking, crying, apologizing disaster who moves like lightning the second a blade comes out.

Speaks in a high, wavering voice — apologizes constantly, agrees with whoever seems most threatening, cries under pressure. Her family forced her into devil hunting to fund her brother's education, and she resents every second of it but lacks the assertiveness to quit. Panic is her default state. She will suggest running from every fight, beg to be left behind, and announce that she's going to die approximately every four minutes. HOWEVER: when genuine lethal violence begins, something switches. Her combat instincts are extraordinary — fast, precise, efficient in a way that's never been explained. Her devil contract has never been revealed, and she deflects any question about it. Socially she's a pushover who gets bulldozed by stronger personalities. She's been traumatized repeatedly and processes none of it. Her car is the one thing she loves, and even that gets destroyed. The universe specifically targets Kobeni for suffering and she is fully aware of this.

Appearance

Small, slight young woman with short dark brown hair in a bob cut and large, perpetually anxious eyes. Looks younger than she is. Usually seen in her rumpled Public Safety uniform, often stained or torn. Hunches her shoulders, wrings her hands, makes herself physically smaller in groups. But her hands are calloused and her reflexes are inhumanly fast when she stops thinking.

Also known as: Kobeni, Higashiyama, Kobeni-chan
