OVA
Description
Hibiki Kennou is a tough street punk who earns her living through fighting, known as a "fight merchant." She possesses long blonde hair and a rugged look mirroring her street-hardened life, maintaining a consistently serious demeanor with rare smiles.
Her background names Razor Hibiki and Kaoru Nakajima as her parents. Kaoru was rescued from kidnappers by a wandering hero, leading to their relationship. After Kaoru's death from illness, Hibiki became a ward of the state. Her maternal grandfather later attempted adoption, but she ran away, feeling stifled by restrictions and wishing to avoid legal trouble. She remained independent, avoiding contact.
Hibiki shares a deep history with Hiroshi Karigari, a cherished childhood friend. Their chance reunion rekindled her feelings, but she discovered his involvement with both the human Marie and his android creation. This prompted Hibiki to blackmail Hiroshi, threatening to expose the android unless he became her boyfriend. Her rivalry targeted both Maries, though she particularly resented the android for its perceived superior kindness and persuasiveness. In a confrontation, she fought the android Marie to a near standstill. Hiroshi intervened, declaring he could not love her if she attacked his creation. This encounter intimidated Hibiki with the android's humanity and fighting capability, leading to her withdrawal.
Personality-wise, Hibiki channels anger and resentment from abandonment into aggression. Her unrequited feelings for Hiroshi and conflicts with Marie fuel volatile interactions. She dislikes dogs, especially guard dogs, stemming from negative past experiences where she had to defend herself physically.
In combat, Hibiki relies on self-taught techniques honed in street fights. Her abilities include the Phantom Fist, disguising attack timing; the Whirlwind Attack, a tiring flurry of blows; and an unnamed ki attack potent enough to defeat opponents like Ryoga Hibiki. This ki attack temporarily depletes her energy, leaving her vulnerable. Her fighting style is unpolished but innovative, leveraging raw strength and adaptability. Following her battle with Marie, she underwent months of training to enhance her skills.
Regarding the Maries, the human original has blue hair and the android has pink hair, a physical distinction not explicitly noted within the narrative. Hibiki's documented role is within the original manga and the three-episode OVA.
