Higuchi
CharacterHiguchi is a bald, heavily pierced hitman from Taro Sakamoto's past who treats morality like a scoreboard, banking 'virtue points' through small good deeds in the hope that the gods of killing will keep him alive.
Appearance
Round oversized glasses frame Higuchi's narrow eyes, and his shaved head bears a scar shaped like the kanji for kill along one side. Metal studs pierce his ears, nose, and chin, rounding out a look built on hard edges.
Personality
Higuchi lives by a private theory of karma, convinced that stacking up minor kindnesses, clearing litter off the street chief among them, earns him credit with the deities he imagines govern killing. That faith sours into open irritation the moment events refuse to break his way.
History
The belief took root after one impulsive act: he tidied away some rubbish before a job and then walked out as the sole survivor of his crew while the rest were slaughtered. Reading his own survival as a message from above, he devoted himself to piling up good deeds. He surfaces as a foe during the chapters covering Sakamoto's earlier years and carries a bounty of four hundred million yen before his death.
