Appearance

Personality
He never speaks, yet his conduct paints him as a dutiful servant of Kurozumi Orochi, carrying out every command without a word of protest.
History
Having eaten a Horse SMILE, Hoisassa traded his legs for those of a horse, an artificial Zoan transformation that grants him considerable speed; paired with his upper-body strength, it lets him and his fellow retainers haul Orochi's carriage with ease. He served openly in this role during the public execution of Shimotsuki Yasuie, bearing the shogun's palanquin. His name plays on the heave-ho cry hoisassa, and the kanji for left tucked within it nods to his position on the left side of the carriage.
