Kinzo Shima (志摩金造 Shima Kinzō) is the fourth son of the Shima family, as well as Renzo's older brother and a Middle Second-Class Exorcist. His elder brother, Juzo, refers to him as "the idiot" of the family.
Appearance[]
Kinzo is a medium sized man with mid-length messy hair. His hair color was originally brown, but at some point he dyed it blonde.
Personality[]
He seems to be a fairly simple guy who is ruled by his emotions, kicking his little brother on the head as a greeting and paying no attention to the conversation at breakfast, preferring to stuff his face. Although he is described as being an idiot by Juzo, he does care about his brothers. He readily leaps into combat without hesitation. He also has a rock band and he does the vocals.[1]
