Chihiro Rokuhira is the protagonist of the manga series Kagurabachi. Chihiro is the son of Kunishige Rokuhira, a renowned swordsmith known for his unique method of crafting special katana.
Chihiro has a diligent and curious personality, deeply committed to learning the art of swordsmithing under the guidance of his renowned father, Kunishige. He handles his responsibilities effectively, from caring for goldfish to other tasks assigned to him. Chihiro is driven by ambition, aspiring to follow in his father's footsteps as a swordsmith, fully aware of the moral and emotional weight that this role carries. He often reflects on the profound implications of crafting katanas and shows emotional resilience, bearing a daily reminder of past trauma in the form of a scar.
In his encounters with enemies such as the Korogumi Yakuza group and Genichi Sojo, Chihiro remains loyal to his father's teachings, which include the principle of ensuring that only deserving individuals possess katana. He displays exceptional swordsmanship skills and maintains a strong moral compass, questioning the consequences of their actions and emphasizing his commitment to justice. His unwavering determination becomes evident as he expresses his readiness to confront the Hishaku, regardless of their perceived monstrous nature, and is further proven by the lengths he goes to stop Sojo, someone who is undeserving of an Enchanted Blade in his eyes.
Despite his cold determination, Chihiro does possess a softer side, shown when he cares for Char in her unfortunate circumstances. As noted by Shiba, Chihiro's experience with his father makes him very good at looking after other people. In addition, Chihiro maintains a strong moral compass, as shown when he uses Aka to redirect Sojo's Mei towards him away from the civilians, as well when he refuses to gamble with people's lives during his confrontation with Kyora when the latter threatens to kill residents of the Storehouse.
