History: Named and raised as a man, Kiyoshi's life began as the second born child of the Himura Family. An ever-infamous group of Ghoul Hunters, a tradition stood amongst their ranks. Every child born under their name, was to be raised as an Investigator. Kiyoshi though, was put into an odd position. Born only a year behind her brother, Arata, she was, as far as her parents were concerned, practically a twin. Someone close enough in age to the future head of the family to be raised alongside him, as both someone to compete against, and someone to elevate himself over. So, she was raised as such. If there would be anything, putting aside rewards, that her elder would he given, she would too. Trinkets, tokens, training, and even the name of a man, as they were given to Arata, they too would be given to her.
Her childhood, would be one of training. Alongside her brother, every waking moment outside of their schooling would be spent locked away at home, under the tutorship of their parents. Biology, Battle Technique, Sparring, History, while the sibling's friends would be doing as they wished, playing outside, or screwing about on the internet, the Himura children would be studying. As soon as they would hit thirteen all of that began. And, even from the moment it began, it was rigorous. There wasn't an 'introductory period', or any sort of soft, dressing on the sides when things kicked off. From minute one, to the end of their five year training, there wasn't a free moment that they were spared. And, it paid off. At the age that most would begin their training as an Investigator, the siblings had already reached a skill equal to that of most graduates, her brother, a year senior, entering their ranks a year ahead of her, and blazing through their ranks, as she was sure she would too.

O N T H E J O B
Quinque: Taiga-no-Ashi [Tiger's Paws] (S) - A pair of stark black gauntlets, set alight be the green pools of energy on their backs, Kiyoshi's Quinque is a Koukaku of immense durability, forged from the Kagune of the once-infamous Tiger Sisters. Their origins owing to a pair of twin Koukaku Ghouls, Taiga is in actuality a pair of two, separate Quinque, each one being made from a different Kakuhou, rather than two, weaker ones make from a single one. Nearly identical in function, both serve the purpose of enhancing the force behind Kiyoshi's blows far beyond normal limitations, easily allow her to match, and even go beyond the strength of a Ghoul. Their more interesting function however, lies in the aforementioned green pools that lay upon their backs. A constant, spinning vortex of RC Cells, the flashy spots of light are the secret behind Taiga's immense amplification. By forming into the constant vortex that they do, the pools build a constant spiral of kinetic energy, and, whenever Kiyoshi strikes something, that kinetic energy is focused by the Quinque, and then directed, and added to the force of her blows, lending her the immense strength that she's infamous for.
While being able to function on it;s own at a baseline equal to around 1.1x the strength of a Ghoul, Taiga is also able to be feed addition RC Cells to increase the intensity of amplification, up to 2.8x the strength of a Ghoul. Feeding it said RC Cells is a relatively simple process, any liquid matter (including Blood) only having to be dropped into the pool to add it to the mix, essentially allowing Taiga to 'power up' the longer a battle goes on, and the more it's fed the blood of whatever Ghoul Kiyoshi happens to be facing. Beyond 1.1x amplification however, it's unable to self-sustain itself, and will drop back down to normal levels as it exhausts the additional 'fuel' that is added to it. Additionally, the more it amplifies, the more RC Cells are needed to sustain it, meaning that as Kiyoshi takes the amplification levels higher, she needs to provide it with more fuel to have it continue to rise.
Charging Akki beyond it's 2.7x limit will cause the excess RC Cells to be released in short bursts through vents built into the knuckles, further 'empowering' Kiyoshi's blows with an energy similar to that of a non-crystallized Ukaku's mist.
Rank: Associate Special Class
Partner/Team: Samuka Ryuji @ShadowedNexus
Fighting Style: Tending towards the brute force side of hand-to-hand combat, Kiyoshi puts the ridiculous strength that her Quinque offers her to good use. Her style of fighting having been dubbed 'Hammerfisting', by her friends and family, Kiyoshi fights steadily and powerfully, preferring single, powerful blows over erratic flurries or constant streams of attack. Serving as both weapons and shields, Kiyoshi untilizes her Quinque not only to attack her enemies, but to avoid their attacks too. Putting their immense durability to good use, she will more often than not use them to grab, bat, or just outright punch enemy attacks out of the way so she can keep up an advance, rather than spending time avoiding them.
Strengths:
- Harder than a Rock - Kiyoshi is tough. Hitting hard, and taking a blow like a champ being is her specialty, and she damn well makes sure her enemies know that. A level of durability, and pure will to survive built from her years as an Investigator behind her, it takes a hell of a lot to put Kiyoshi down, and a hell of a lot more to put her down for good.
Weaknesses:
- Harder than a Rock - It's not exactly clear whether it's from taking one too many blows to the head, or whether her natural disposition is just to be a pain-in-the-ass, but, one things for sure. Kiyoshi is stubborn. She'll practically never back out of a fight, and the amount of times she's taken on a mission while wounded or on leave is beyond count. it's something that's obviously not the best for her health, or the health of anyone who half gives a damn about her well-being, but, Kiyoshi herself is either obvious to that, or too sucked up by her sense of duty to care.

Notable Eliminations:
- Tiger Sisters -
Working with an exceptionally small squad behind her, the then First Class Investigator Kiyoshi Himura tracked down, and set a trap for two infamous Binge Eater Ghouls dubbed the 'Tiger Sisters'. Her initial conflict with the two ended up with one of the sisters dead, and within the week Kiyoshi goaded out, and eliminated the escapee.
- Clubs -
During a raid on a safe-house supposedly associated with the infamous crime-lord 'Jack', Kiyoshi dueled with, and defeated the Ghoul Bikaku Ghoul 'Clubs' in single combat. Being both S Ranked, and deeply rooted in several of Jack's trafficking operations, his elimination earned Kiyoshi several commendations from not only the CCG, but the general Government too.
Notable Neutralizations:
- Ryan "Bloody Guise" Jones -
An American immigrant, the Ghoul known as 'Bloody Guise' who made himself known through his outrageous charisma. Within months of arriving in Japan, Jones had amassed a sizable following of cult-status loyalty. Quickly becoming a notable, but not exactly stubble threat, they were singled out for extermination, and, in an operation spearheaded by Kiyoshi herself were nearly wiped out. The only remaining members were, and are a handful of lower-ranked Ghouls who managed to escape, and Jones, who offered himself to be imprisoned in Coachella himself after being defeated in combat by Kiyoshi.
