Kishibe

Kishibe is a jaded, straightforward individual. Due to his immense strength and skill, he often undertakes his work with a calm formality, displaying little emotion as he does so. Though he tends to speak in a relaxed, polite manner, his actions often showcase an immense brutality garnered through many years of Devil Hunting. Kishibe seems to have a somewhat strange sense of humor, saying horrifying things with a completely straight face, making it hard to tell if he's actually joking or not. Though he sometimes expresses emotions such as surprise and sadness at certain events, his face and voice remain entirely neutral. Despite this stoicism, Kishibe has proven on numerous occasions to be something of a sentimental and emotional individual. During his training of Denji and Power, despite his stated hatred of Fiends and Devils, he grows affectionate towards the pair, telling Makima of his concerns for their safety. He later takes care of Meowy for them as a favor when they go on a trip. Similarly, he refuses to look at the corpse of Quanxi upon her death due to their implied past-friendship, despite the two's attempts to kill one another earlier in the day. Kishibe also has a somewhat uncanny ability to see through people and find out their true intentions. He sees the world in a pragmatic point of view, and despite his appearance and consistent drinking, he is quite intelligent, and is not manipulated easily. Due to hunting devils for a long time, he appears somewhat insane. He espouses a belief that the most fearsome devil hunters to devils aren't the brave or the strong, but the craziest as they are the ones without fear. Kishibe states that he enjoys enjoys booze, women, and killing Devils.

Kishibe is a tall, grizzled man with scraggly facial hair and a stitched scar running across his left cheek from his mouth. In his young adult years, his hair was black, but it has turned grey in the manga. In the anime, he has more a blonde hair color, possibly indicating it's dyed. Additionally, Kishibe has two piercings on his left ear and one on his right ear. He typically wears the standard Public Safety Devil Hunter uniform, complimented by a large overcoat. He is often seen with a silver hip flask which he frequently drinks from. Young Kishibe.png|Younger Kishibe

Kishibe is the strongest member of Tokyo Special Division 4 according to Makima, followed by the Angel Devil. Kishibe has described himself as being the strongest Devil Hunter, and was purported to be a "first-rate hunter" by Hirofumi Yoshida during the International Assassins arc. Kishibe has contracts with at least three devils which have been described as being "fairly dangerous". Though he was initially dismissed by them as being no one special, Kishibe proved strong enough to easily subdue two of the fiends who work for Quanxi singlehandedly.
