Himawari
CharacterHimawari is a Wolf-level Mysterious Being that menaces a Z-City candy shop before Saitama, wandering past, ends its rampage with no effort at all. Shaped like a towering sunflower with a fanged bloom for a head, the creature earns Saitama a whole sack of sweets from the grateful owner.
Appearance
Standing at a considerable height, this creature carries a bloom where a face should sit, its petaled head ringed by jagged teeth. A scatter of blossoms also masks its chest. The overall look pairs a cheerful plant motif with plain predatory menace.
Personality
The monster leaves almost no record of its temperament. It surfaces, attacks, and falls before any real sense of its nature has a chance to form.
History
Himawari's single outing comes in the extra chapter Brushing Up, where it raids a sweets shop run by an elderly woman. Saitama happens to be walking by and dispatches the beast without ceremony. After a short exchange with the relieved owner, he is talked into accepting an entire bag of candy as thanks. As a Wolf-level threat it was among the weakest of monsters, which is why its defeat happens off the page.
