Sukoshiba Kanishitoru

Appearance

Kanishitoru is a man of average height and brown hair. He wears sunglasses and a cold-resistant version of the standard guard uniform.

Personality

Since Kanishitoru was not willing to endure the cold of Level 5 just to imitate Hannyabal’s custom, it can be inferred that, in comparison to Hannyabal, he is lacking in boldness.

Relationships

Hannyabal

Kanishitoru respects Vice Warden Hannyabal for his custom of entering Level 5 without a coat or weapons.

Abilities and Powers

Kanishitoru carries a standard guard rifle. It is unknown how proficient he is in using it.

History

Impel Down Arc

Kanishitoru and two other guards escorted Hannyabal (in truth Bentham in disguise), Buggy and Galdino from Level 4 to Level 5. On the way down, the disguised Bentham inquired about what happened to Emporio Ivankov, to which the guards recounted the rumors of “demoning away” within the prison. Once they reached the entrance, Kanishitoru took away “Hannyabal’s” coat and weapons, praising him for having the ability to endure the cold every time he entered the Freezing Hell.

Trivia

• Kanishitoru’s name is a pun on “Sukoshi baka ni shitoru” (少し馬鹿にしとる^?, Meaning “making fun of him a little”).
• Stephen Paul, the official VIZ translator, informally translated Kanishitoru’s name as “Loki Clownin”. This translation was later used in the 7th popularity poll.
