Koinosuke Kyuubi (きゅうび こいのすけ, Kyūbi Koinosuke) is a supporting character in the Nanbaka Web Manga. He is the supervisor of Building 9.
Appearance[]
Koisuke has long white hair which has ends that form the nine tails of a kitsune and pale skin.
He typically wears a traditional hakuko kitsune mask: it is white with an emotionless expression, white eye sockets and black eyelids and pupils and it is painted with a reddish-orange colour underneath the eyes, in the shape of two swirls on the cheeks, a tear-drop shape on the nose and with sharp reddish-orange and black lines going downwards on the forehead.
He has been remarked by others to look like he's still wearing a mask even if he takes his mask off, however Kiji Mitsuba is one of the only people to understand his appearance after his mask was taken off.[1]
Personality[]
Koisuke greatly believes in fate and destiny, placing trust into talismans which would tell him his future, even not quitting his job as a guard until what the talismans said to him would become true.
Koisuke is also gullible when it comes to romance, being deceived by Sith that the shinigami can alter his marriage prospects.
He is self-conscious about his face due to so many people thinking he wears a mask underneath a mask and he also gets very sad when people do that mistake.
Background[]
Koisuke was told by "divine talismans" that if he became a prison guard, he would get a girlfriend and eventually marry her and thus he came to work at Nanba Prison for the said reason.
