History: Kirigi is the half-human son of Master Roshi, an oni (Japanese demon) who an unspecified time ago became the Jonin (master) of the ninja clan known as the Hand. Kirigi was raised by the Hand to be their ultimate assassin, and was not aware of his familial relation to the Jonin.
Due to his talents, Kirigi became the Hand's top assassin, rivaled only by Elektra Nattchios. Over time, this rivalry led to the two becoming lovers.
Recently, Elektra has fled the Hand, and Kirigi was sent to either bring her back or kill her. This has led him into conflict with not only Elektra, but with Daredevil and his mentor, a blind man known only as Stick, who Kirigi has reportedly fought in the past. The result of this conflict has yet to be determined.
Age: Indeterminate.
Height: 7'.
Weight: 300 lbs.
Eyes: Yellow.
Hair: Black.
Other Distinguishing Features: Kirigi casts a demonic shadow, indicating his half-demon heritage.
Uniform: A stereotypical "ninja" outfit which obscures everything except his eyes. The torso is often padded with Kevlar.
Strength Level: Kirigi's half-demon nature grants him superhuman strength, enabling him to lift (press) around one ton under optimum conditions.
Known Superhuman Powers: In addition to his superhuman strength, Kirigi possesses superhuman agility and durability. Even unarmored, he has been shown shrugging off gunfire from police handguns. By channeling his chi, he is able to move at superhuman speeds for short distances. His vision is superhumanly acute, enabling him to clearly read a street sign half a mile away. He is also able to see into the infrared spectrum, enabling him to see a person's "heat signature".
In addition, Kirigi possesses the mystical ability to blend into his surroundings, making him invisible to the naked eye provided he stands still or moves no faster than a slow walk. He does not truly become invisible, however, and he can still be detected through radar, sonar, and infrared sensors.
Other Abilities: Kirigi is the top ninja assassin of the Hand, highly skilled in the arts of stealth and melee combat.
Weapons: Kirigi has access to any number of martial arts weapons. He is most proficient with the daisho, the paired katana and wakizashi traditionally used by samurai.
