Appearance

Moe is a short teenager whose scalp is shaved down to a single strip of buzzed mohawk running along the middle, set over grey eyes. Bandages wrap his right hand to hide the knuckle beneath it. He leaves his school jacket open over a red shirt printed with a face, giving him a thuggish look overall.

Personality

Brash and overconfident in a brawl, Moe nonetheless seizes up against girls he finds pretty, nearly unable to raise a fist to Orihime Inoue. His devotion to Tsukishima borders on worship; he will gladly stake his life in the man's service and stubbornly ignores direct orders to stand down. Yet he knows full well that Tsukishima grants him little respect in return, and he aches to change that.

History

Handed the job of killing Orihime, Moe is thrown off by her looks but forces himself onward until Tsukishima steps in and calls the whole thing off. During the Lost Substitute Shinigami arc he later fights Kugo Ginjo and then Ikkaku Madarame across Yukio's separated battlefields, unleashing his Fullbring, Jackpot Knuckle. That brass knuckle, stamped with three sevens, lets him rig the odds and hit a jackpot on contact, shattering Kugo's sword guard and later Ikkaku's Shikai. Its luck runs dry, however, the more he reuses it or the more good fortune he enjoys, and Ikkaku finally puts him down with a headbutt before lecturing him about dying for a man who does not value him. Even so, Moe drags himself to a mortally wounded Tsukishima after the fighting, hauls him onto his back, and refuses to let him die.
