Description
Personality
Kinro is a steadfast and unwavering individual, deeply committed to his duties as a gatekeeper of Ishigami Village. He possesses a strong sense of responsibility and adherence to rules, often appearing inflexible and resistant to change. This is highlighted by his initial distrust of Senku and his reluctance to accept anything that deviates from his traditional worldview. However, beneath his rigid exterior lies a loyalty to his friends and village, and a hidden vulnerability stemming from his impaired eyesight. While initially resistant to Senku's "sorcery," he eventually comes to appreciate the benefits of science and technology, demonstrating a capacity for growth and adaptation. Despite his gruff demeanor and stubbornness, Kinro shows moments of surprising gentleness and concern for his younger brother, Ginro, even if he often expresses his frustration with Ginro's more naive and easily swayed nature. His unwavering dedication to protecting his village and his comrades, even in the face of personal hardship, underscores his strong moral compass and deep-seated sense of duty. His pride and determination are evident in his refusal to make excuses for his weaknesses, showcasing a resilient and admirable spirit.
Abilities

While not possessing superhuman abilities like some other characters in the series, his strength is notable, allowing him to initially hold his own against Magma in the Village Games. His fighting style is aggressive and direct, relying on his strength and spear skills. A significant weakness is his poor eyesight, initially hindering his combat effectiveness, but later mitigated with the help of corrective lenses provided by Senku. He demonstrates loyalty and dedication to his village and comrades, often prioritizing duty over personal gain. He is also shown to be surprisingly perceptive, noticing details others miss, such as Gen's true allegiance.
