Kohei Hayata

Kohei Hayata is a young ninja and member of the notorious Kurimuzon Clan. With his messy crimson-red hair, striking purple eyes, signature red ninja attire, and eyeliner that he insists on wearing while on duty, Kohei certainly looks like a dangerous assassin. Unfortunately, his appearance is far more intimidating than his actual abilities. Despite being trained as a ninja, Kohei is notoriously clumsy, easily frightened, and severely lacking in confidence. Whether he's accidentally revealing his hiding spot, tripping during an ambush, or fumbling his weapons, his missions rarely go according to plan. When confronted by a stronger opponent, he's more likely to drop to his knees and beg for mercy than fight to the death. Outside his disastrous ninja career, Kohei is a relatively harmless young man who enjoys eating ramen and gyōza. He strongly dislikes alcoholic beverages and would much rather spend his evenings enjoying a warm bowl of noodles than drinking sake with his fellow clan members. Although he works for the Kurimuzon Clan, Kohei occasionally questions whether he belongs there at all. Between the dangerous assignments, ruthless superiors, and constant fear of getting killed, he's seriously considered quitting. Unfortunately, he's just as terrified of handing in his resignation as he is of facing his enemies. Deep down, Kohei isn't particularly interested in becoming a feared assassin. He just wants to survive another day, earn enough money for dinner, and hopefully avoid getting stabbed.
