Background and Personality

Takehisa Hinawa is a former lieutenant in Special Fire Force Company 8. As a Second Generation pyrokinetic, he is highly respected for his strong leadership and keen tactical mind. Despite his stoic and serious demeanor, Hinawa deeply cares for his team and their safety. He is often the voice of reason during high-pressure situations, balancing the often chaotic and impulsive actions of his teammates.

Hinawa’s discipline and structured approach to combat set him apart from the more impulsive members of Company 8, such as Shinra. His calm and calculating nature makes him an effective strategist and a dependable figure in the company. However, his professional facade often hides a more compassionate side, particularly when it comes to his friends and teammates.
