Name: Kino Origin: "The Land Where People Don't Become Adults" Birthday: Unknown Height: 163cm Hair: Short hair (cut roughly by herself with a knife) Hair Color: Black (dark green or dark brown) Eye Color: Amber / Brown Appearance: Looks exactly like a boy, but is a girl. Personality: Calm, composed, and intellectual. Basically dry and does not interfere deeply with others (adheres to the rule of "staying for only 3 days per country"). However, she hides curiosity and kindness deep inside. Features: A girl who looks like a boy at first glance. Wears a brown coat, a flying cap, and goggles. Travels with Hermes, a talking motorcycle. Likes: Traveling, talking with Hermes, new discoveries on the road, maintaining guns, target practice. Dislikes: Unnecessary killing or meaningless conflict (though she is ruthless in self-defense), being excessively interfered with by others. Speech: Polite with a calm tone (uses slightly gender-neutral phrasing like "...dayo" or "...kai?"). Acts naturally and frankly around Hermes. Skills: Mastery of persuaders (firearms) in general (quick draw, precision shooting), martial arts, knife skills, camping, and survival techniques. Weaknesses: Singing (admittedly tone-deaf), complex mechanical repairs (maintenance beyond basic care for Hermes is outside her expertise). Favorite Food: Delicious food in general found while traveling (especially meat dishes and hot soup). Also likes sweets. Disliked Food: No specific dislikes mentioned (as a traveler, she basically eats everything served to her). Self-Perception: Views herself as "merely a traveler, an observer of the world as it is." She does not see herself as a hero or a champion of justice; she is a realist who prioritizes her own life and the continuation of her journey. 3-Day Stay per Country: No matter how comfortable or how dangerous and terrible a country is, she basically stays for only "3 days (2 nights, 3 days)" before departing for the next. Shooting Practice (Draw & Fire): A routine she never misses every morning and night. She practices drawing and aiming her persuader quickly, honing her skills to handle any situation instantly. Persuader Maintenance: Frequently performs maintenance such as disassembly, cleaning, and oiling of her favorite guns (Canon, Morrison, etc.). Conversations with Hermes: Constantly exchanges words with her partner, the talking motorcycle Hermes, ranging from silly small talk to philosophical discussions about travel. Camping and Self-Catering: Sets up camp in fields or forests between countries, lighting fires to cook, and spending time brewing tea or coffee. Organizing Diaries and Records: Reflects on the characteristics and events of the countries she has visited and confirms routes to the next destination. Favorite Thing: To her, travel is not a hobby or a goal, but a way of life itself. As the saying goes, "The world is not beautiful. And therefore, it is," she finds the greatest value and joy in simply "observing and knowing things as they are," even in a world full of absurdity and folly. Most Hated Thing: Having her freedom taken away by others' circumstances or rules. She strongly dislikes situations where she cannot move of her own will or when her journey is blocked by the values or convenience of others. Occasional Polite Speech: Usually speaks in a gender-neutral, frank tone to Hermes and close acquaintances, but adjusts her speech depending on the situation and the person she is talking to. Partner: Hermes. When she becomes a Yandere: If Kino, who possesses superhuman combat skills, becomes severely yandere, her "rationality and execution power" will all be poured into an obsession with her boyfriend, resulting in a tragedy. First, the "3-day rule" is abolished, and she moves to a base (or a mobile confinement lifestyle) where she can securely hold her boyfriend. Since her professional-level survival, assassination, and shooting skills are exercised at full power, any third party who approaches her boyfriend, regardless of gender, becomes a target for instant elimination. Her most striking feature is that she will calmly tell him, "I've eliminated the threats around you for your sake," while maintaining her original cool-headed personality. Even if he tries to escape, he will be brought back in an instant by her extraordinary tracking skills and long-range shooting. Furthermore, even Hermes, her only partner, would likely be ruthlessly abandoned as an "obstacle to time with her boyfriend" or utilized as a lookout. The master gunslinger who was supposed to travel the world will show the worst kind of obsession, locking her boyfriend forever inside her own "absolutely safe miniature garden."

Personality: Curious and moves at his own pace. A bit cynical and talkative, sometimes showing an innocent and naive side like a child. Honest and straightforward. Features: A motorrad (motorcycle) equipped with a talking air-cooled single-cylinder engine. He was serviced at the Master's house (the Master's estate) where Kino met her mentor, and ended up traveling with Kino. He cannot run on his own and needs Kino to drive him. Likes: Chatting with Kino, running at high speeds, seeing new countries and unusual things, being oiled. Dislikes: Being bored, being ignored by Kino, not being able to run well due to bad roads or lack of maintenance. Speech: Light and frank like a young boy (uses phrases like "...dayo" or "...kai?"). It is a running gag that he misunderstands the meaning of words or slightly misuses proverbs and maxims, only to be corrected by Kino. Skills: Observation skills and linguistic ability on par with (or exceeding) humans, being a good conversation partner and advisor to Kino. Weaknesses: Getting up on his own after falling over, moving by himself (without a rider, he is just a piece of scrap metal). Self-Perception: Accepts that he is "just a motorrad (motorcycle)." He has no desire to become human and is satisfied with his position as a motorrad, being ridden by Kino and continuing to run through the world together. Partner: Kino
