Kobeni Higashiyama

Kobeni is exceptionally cowardly with few moments of courage.

SPECIES Human GENDER Female AGE 20 HEIGHT 155 cm BIRTHPLACE Japan OCCUPATION Public Safety Devil Hunter (formerly) Waitress (formerly) AFFILIATION Public Safety Devil Hunters (formerly) Tokyo Special Division 4 (formerly) Family Burger Restaurant (formerly) RELATIVES Unnamed Parents Unnamed Eight Sisters Unnamed Older Brother Nobana Higashiyama (younger brother) CONTRACTED DEVILS Unknown Devil Her first confrontation with the Eternity Devil leads to her being paralyzed with fright and babbling. She is shown to easily crack under pressure and breaks down in tears when the group becomes trapped in the hotel and she is confronted with the possibility of them all starving to death without any rescue. Her sense of fear causes her to take drastic action in order to save herself such as turning on Denji and threatening him at knifepoint once a Devil promised to free her in exchange for Denji's life. She even went as far as accusing Hirokazu Arai of being a spy for the Devils because he defended Power from Kobeni's delusional accusations. Despite how she acted towards them in her panicked state, she did feel remorse for her actions and gratitude towards Hirokazu for shielding her when they were attacked. However, when Kobeni gets into action she had proven to be cool-headed and efficient, ruthlessly dealing with both the Katana Man and Akane Sawatari and forcing them to retreat; only breaking down in a panic once the fighting is over. Despite being forced into a line of work that she hates by her family, Kobeni still cares about them as she sends her money to her brother to support him through college and chauffeurs her family around in her car. And despite wanting to quit, she initially stays because it was the day she was going to receive a bonus. Kobeni is shown to be skittish when hugged repeatedly by Himeno, but tolerates her antics.
