Description
Kiji Mitsuba holds the position of Building 3 supervisor at Nanba Prison, managing inmates and engaging in institutional events. His striking appearance showcases cascading dark blue hair with light blue tips, vibrant red bangs accented by feather-like ornaments, piercing gold eyes, and bold makeup featuring violet eyeshadow and lipstick. His tailored guard uniform incorporates a turquoise feather boa, a beaded belt, heeled boots embellished with gold detailing, and a purple armband signifying his rank.
Though stern, quick to anger, and prone to lecturing, he adopts a domineering, almost maternal persona among colleagues. Beneath his abrasive demeanor lies unexpected warmth, particularly toward inmates he finds attractive, whom he fiercely protects, reacting with visible distress to their misfortunes. He openly chastises those quick to judge others, revealing a layered commitment to fairness that coexists with his vanity.
During the New Year’s Tournament, he allies with inmates Honey and Trois but falls to Seitarou Tanabata’s exceptional memory. Later, he joins fellow supervisors in subduing Musashi’s flames using chakrams and strategic traps, though their success is marred by Hajime Sugoroku’s brutality. Temporarily assuming control of Building 13 after Hajime’s suspension, he drills inmates on regulations, masking his annoyance with curt efficiency.
Captured during a Building Five training exercise, he’s confined in Gogyousan Underground Prison until rescued by Uno and Honey. He then confronts Ruka Gojou, exposing Ruka’s mimicry of Enki Gokuu’s behavior and questioning his intentions. Tasked with tracking missing inmates, he navigates chaos spurred by Jyugo’s volatile powers while coordinating recovery efforts.
His name—Mitsuba (“three leaves”) and Kiji (“pheasant”)—ties him to the pheasant from the Momotarō legend. He favors violet hues, herbal tea, fruit jams, wine, and beauty rituals, while rejecting milk and being seen makeup-free. His aesthetic-driven lifestyle fuels hobbies like shopping and reading, reflecting a meticulous dedication to self-presentation.
