Hibiki Kohaku

Hibiki Kohaku is a character in BlazBlue: Chronophantasma who appears mainly in Kagura Mutsuki's story scenarios, providing support and back-up for him from a nearby distance. He is a playable character in BlazBlue: Centralfiction.

Information
Servant of the Mutsuki Family and captain of the Novus Orbis Librarium.

As the servant of one of the Duodecim families, he is well acquainted with their members, such as Jin Kisaragi.

The Kohaku family is one of the Mutsuki branch families. They are trained for silent assassinations and so are rarely mentioned in historical books. As a member of this family, Hibiki was also trained in the assassination and stealth arts, proving it multiple times by appearing undetected behind backs of characters like Jin or Tager.

Personality
Hibiki is described as "a pretty boy with a poison tongue". His attitude towards the normally laid-back Kagura is often critical, being quick to belittle or insult him. However, in reality, this covers up his actual admiration for the Black Knight. He also has a strict personality, such as making Kagura pay for the damages he caused in the Headquarters when he fought against Arakune, and making Kagura pay the electricity bill through his personal bank account for when Kokonoe used 80% of the headquarter's electric power output to repair Iron Tager. He is also known to be an excellent cook, where even Rachel Alucard had highly praised his cooking.

One of his mottoes is: "A man with confidence shall not lose; only doubt will bring defeat".

Appearance
Hibiki is a teenage male of Asian descent with small, delicate, and feminine features, earning him the moniker of "Pretty Boy". He has black hair in a styled bowl cut that reaches his cheekbones, and he stands only a few inches shorter than Kagura. He wears a standard NOL uniform, with a tight-fitting jacket. The uniform consists of a small red tie over the standard blue jacket with yellow rims and black shoulder pads, accompanied by white gloves.

In Centralfiction, he wears a different outfit which consists of a standard "jolting sapphire"-colored poncho-like jacket with one long sleeve, underneath is military collar shirt, black leggings with several black straps with golden buckles and with matching attached black sneakers.

Powers and Abilities
As a captain of the NOL, it can be assumed that Hibiki is efficient in fighting.

He is extremely capable of moving without being detected, managing to move behind Jin's back without being noticed until he was too close. His abilities are recognized by Jin, complimenting him on his stealth; Jin also mentioned an unknown ability possessed by Hibiki, which is implied to put him at Jin's pace and level.

Hibiki's Drive is Double Chase (ダブルチェイス), which allows him to make a duplicate of himself and can teleport himself to his duplicate's current position.
