Higano

Higano (氷鉋) was an Impurity and the ninth Basara.

Appearance
Higano has light gray, shoulder-length hair and dark skin. His right eye is completely black with a red pupil while his left eye is always closed. A long crack runs across his face, starting at the top right of his face and ending at the bottom left. He also has a kuji-kiri on his chest.

Personality
Higano seems to be calm. Just like the other Basara, he has no mercy for humans. He is very loyal to Hijirimaru, to the point that he sacrifices himself to give Hijirimaru his power.

Higano does not care about the power he can gain from the humans once they are killed. He prefers letting Hijirimaru kill them and take the powers.

His spells and powers are lightning based. He also specializes in speed.
