Himeno

About

Himeno was a Public Safety Devil Hunter working under Makima and partnered with Aki Hayakawa. A veteran Devil Hunter, she was a mentor to newcomers like Denji. Himeno presented an easygoing, laid-back personality, contrasting Aki's seriousness.

However, she harbored a pessimistic worldview after losing multiple partners over the years. Himeno deeply cared for Aki's well-being and harbored romantic feelings for him. She also aimed to help Denji pursue Makima while he helped her get with Aki, though both failed. Ultimately, Himeno made a heroic sacrifice using all her powers against Akane Sawatari to protect Aki.

Beneath her cheerful front lay a cynical perspective - having lost many partners, she coped through vices like smoking and drinking. When drunk, Himeno became highly promiscuous and flirtatious.

She was a beautiful young woman with short black hair and an eyepatch covering her contracted right eye. Himeno had a voluptuous, curvaceous figure and stood very tall for a Japanese woman at 5'9". Her attire consisted of the standard Devil Hunter suit.
