Kiun

Kiun is initially shown as formal and reserved with a strong loyalty to Heaven, thinking it blasphemous that Yukine doesn't know of Amaterasu. He has a strong sense of duty and honour, telling his junior shinki to respect their opponent in battle, and being willing to potentially sacrifice his own life during the Trial by Pledge for a cause unrelated to him. Though he often seems absent-minded, he may have a passive-aggressive side, as an omake revealed that he buys the chocolate Takemikazuchi dislikes on purpose because he wants to 'convert him to the Kinoko side'. He is also quite blunt, only replying 'I returned it' when Takemikazuchi bought him Yato's hafuri-raising book. According to Takemikazuchi he has rejected a lot of female shinki, and believes that because he is dead, he has no need for relationships, including friendships (and 'swears' he's not lonely). He was apparently 'sick' at the idea of going out with any of the shinki just to make them feel better when told to do so. Kiun is shown to believe that shinki must behave as their master's object and keep their distance, criticizing Kazuma when he learns that he gave Bishamon a pet name. He was shown to have cared for and pitied the young reincarnated Takemikazuchi despite this, however, but did not stand up to the elder shinkis' mistreatment.

Kiun has the appearance of a young man with long, light-colored hair. His most noticeable features are his eyes - which are drawn with dark irises and white pupils - and the horizontal scar on the bridge of his nose and another on his neck. He is quite tall, almost rivaling Daikoku in height. Like most of the Un-clan shinki, some of his hair is tied in a short ponytail on the back of his head with a red braided cord. He also dresses in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C5%8De joe], a ritual outfit worn by Shinto priests consisting of an all-white kariginu and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakama#Sashinuki_hakama sashinuki] hakama. When he was named by Takemikazuchi in the past, he was seen dressed in [https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/culture/Hitatare.html hitatare], an outfit worn by the Heian-period warrior class, with his hair worn in a top-knot.
