Kizuna Kazayama

"I’m Kizuna Kazayama, and I’m one of the four holy heroes—the Hunting Hero, to be exact."

- Kizuna

Kizuna Kazayama (風山 絆) is one of the Four Holy Heroes summoned to Glass' world. She is the Hunting Hero (狩猟具の勇者) to be precise and the best friend of Glass.

Appearance
She appears to be Japanese with black hair, wears a western Gothic dress with Japanese Cloak on top. As a Hero, her weapon is always attached to her, normally taking the form of a fishing rod which is folded and carried on her waist. At times of need, it can transform into a Maguro bōchō (Large Japanese Fish Knife) to be used as a weapon.

Personality
Similar to the rest of the other legendary heroes, she too is an otaku. She mistakenly believed the world to be a game at first and came to realize the truth a little later. She completely disapproved of the idea of killing the other world's holy heroes for their own world survival and believes that the heroes are needed for some other reason.

Background
Like the other heroes, Kizuna is from an alternate Japan. Not a gamer, she entered a VR Healing MMO called Second Life and (along with her Sister(s)) was sent to the world that Glass is from. There, she was on a quest to defeat the Dragon Emperor of that world. During her adventure, she met Glass, who was sent to that same quest to prove herself worthy of the Vassal Fan. They quickly developed a strong friendship and Kizuna was given her cloak by Glass which she treasures. Along with Glass, they created a shikigami named Chris that resembles a penguin (named because it was Christmas when they performed the ritual). At some point, she was captured (due to her weapons limitation of only being able to directly harm monsters) and thrown into a Labyrinth dimension which she could not escape spending several years trying to get out until Naofumi and Rishia were pulled in by Kyo's trap as they traveled in pursuit of Kyo.
