Side notes: As I've been hurrying around with these post today I'm finally stopping here.^-^ And as you can guess... yup again one anime that I've seen... and it lead me here. I liked the anime and the story so this is one of my most liked stories of today. It also serves as a side dish or a main dish for anyone that don't like Alice in Wonderland so much.^-^ This is one good option to read or see as an anime.

Techniques: Iga's "Kira" (伊賀「気羅」)
A 16-year-old ninja in the Kairōshū who uses the forbidden technique "kira". This technique shoots the user's ki into the body of a target and controls it from the inside out, which can cause the target's bones to break or their body to completely explode. The cost of using this technique is the loss of the user's life force, gradually losing their five senses and eventually dying. According to volume 4, he has roughly two more months to live. He appears to be very sensitive, as he used the kira technique and almost killed a delivery man just because he called him a "cute kid". He is also shown to eat at a rapid pace. After first abducting Miharu and taking him to an abandoned train car, Yoite tells Miharu his friends will die from the ki he implanted inside them; unless Miharu utilizes the Shinrabanshō to grant his wish, to be "erased" from existence. This turns out to be a lie, but Miharu still aims to grant the wish. Yoite usually wears all black, with leather gloves, and a tan-colored gatsby cap.

Birthplace: Waterford, Ireland
Rokujo's and Kouichi's 25-year-old english teacher in the "front world".
Born in Ireland on March 17, Kumohira is actually a ninja of the Banten village in the world of Nabari. He is entirely devoted to protecting Rokujo, and wants him to become the ruler of Nabari. He has an intense hatred of transport, such as trains and buses, and would not get on one until Miharu manages to "persuade" him. He went to Japan because his grandfather was a "Japan otaku" and "ninja fanatic", who forced him to go to learn to become a ninja, and was unable to return home for ten years (partly due to his phobia of vehicles). It was during this time that he became the Rokujo family's close acquaintance, the memories about which Miharu has lost after an incident concerning the Shinrabanshou and its user (who was either Miharu's father, Akatsuki Rokujo, or his mother, Asahi Rokujo) killed his parents and Kumohira's grandfather and erased the concerned individuals' memories about it, except Kumohira's himself, 10 years ago. In the anime, he is the temporary leader as the current leader is away, while in the manga, he is not just a stand-in, but actually has the power to arrange for a temporary leader. According to Aizawa, Kumohira has probably recorded Banten's kinjutsu through verbal communication.
Among the Banten ninjas, Kumohira is the most vehement dissident against Miharu using the Shinrabanshou, instead advocating its permanent seal. This often results in him going to great length to dissuade Miharu from attempting to activate it, which clashes with Miharu's promise to Yoite. After realizing Miharu's determination to fulfill his promise, Kumohira went into hiding to conceal the whereabouts of the last kinjutsushō, Banten's Engetsurin, from whoever trying to find it.

Height: 180 cm (when he slouches)
Weight: 76 kg
Shoe size: 28 cm
Blood type: B

Specialty: Cut-corner cooking, baseball
A 27-year-old ninja and member of the Kairōshū who acts as a squad leader on missions, such as the attack on Fūma Village.
He lives with Yoite, and is protective of him, caring for him as his health degenerates.
He is also a comrade of Raikō, whom he occasionally goes on missions with.
While he tries to act cool, he is also known for childish outbursts, which are usually directed at Raikō. Throughout the show, he is criticized by other shinobi because his main weapon of choice is a Glock 7 handgun, to which he replies 'get with the times.' However, he does also use more conventional shinobi weapons, i.e. kunai, shurikens etc.
His past is unclear, but apparently he and his sister were living in poor conditions before they were adopted by the Kairoushou.
