 Name:
Hiruma Kihei
Hair:
Gray
Eyes:
Brown
Kihei is the
older brother of Gohei, but only in the manga, however.
When Kaoru's father had passed away, Kihei was found hurt
outside of the Kamiya Dojo. Since then, Kaoru took him
in and allowed him to become the dojo's housekeeper. Yet,
all Kihei seemed to do was urge the young girl to sell
the dojo and live her life in peace, rather than trying
to rebuild a school that had slowly become defamed. Kihei's
true motives were discovered shortly after it was learned
that he had been working with his brother that was posing
as the Battousai of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryuu. The real
reason Kihei wanted Kaoru to sell the dojo was because
it had a high land value; he could care less about Kaoru's
well-being. Just when it looked like that Kihei's devious
plans would follow through, he was busted when the true
Battousai, Himura Kenshin, came to the aid of Kaoru.
The Hiruma
Brothers were thrown in jail afterwards, but they somehow
got free and managed to employ the services of a street
fighter named Zanza, who's better known as Sanosuke. The
two wanted to get their revenge on Kenshin, but it ended
up that their plan backfired. So, the brothers decided
to leave Tokyo and head off to Shinshuu, Sanosuke's hometown,
where they became hired by Fudosawa, the town's magistrate,
as his new bodyguards. However, the two were quickly relieved
of their duties once they had unfortunately encountered
Sanosuke again. They were humiliated right in front of
their employer and were never heard of again.
Of the Hiruma
Brothers, Kihei is the brains of the body. Because of
his old age, he is most likely a poor fighter, thus explaining
why Gohei does all of the physical dirty work.
