Personality
Haiiro is generally an level headed, if not extremely joyous individual, he is very sociable and easy to connect to, however his upbeat personality may often annoy and even deter people from spending time with him. While his personality can very much annoy his partner Kaede Kiseki, he connects extremely well with her.

In battle Haiiro's personality changes to that of a extremely excitable and reckless individual, he is extremely headstrong and hotheaded, usually charging in to attack before fully thinking out a situation. Despite his overly reckless nature in battle he can be analytical when the situation calls for it, and is an extremely good teammate with Kaede.

He is loyal to the Wandenreich and believes that while the militaristic behaviour of the organisation is too extreme, still follows it with very little question.

He seems to have an obsession with writing his name with a star in the gaps between his name, despite his name having no such accent. He writes it as Haiiro☆ Hoshi.

The bow in question takes the shape of a pentagon, with four strings of reishi extending from the four inner lines of the bow acting as the bowstrings.


 * Heilig Pfeil (神聖滅矢 (ハイリッヒ・ブファイル), Hairihhi Bufairu; German for "Holy Arrow", Japanese for "Destroying Arrow of Sanctity"): A standard Quincy technique, Haiiro is able to gather reishi from the surrounding area, morphing it into an arrow shape, he is able to fire this arrow in order to attack opponents with it. Haiiro is extremely proficient at this, being able to fire off numerous Heilig Pfeil's at a time, however he has a limit to how many he can ultimately fire off at once.


 * Kage Yajirushi (影矢印, Shadow Arrow): By using his ability of "The Underworld", Haiiro is able to manipulate his arrows in such a way so that they become more solid and are able to bend and twist to his will. Haiiro can use these manipulated arrows to constrict opponents and stop them from moving, he can also use the arrows to force the opponent to move, often downward, giving to his epithet, The Underworld. He is able to manipulate arrows that have already been fired also, giving him the element of surprise in his attacks.


 * Mugen Kage Yajirushi (無限影矢印, Infinite Shadow Arrows): This ability is an extension of Kage Yajirushi. Haiiro firstly shoots off an uncountable amount of Heilig Pfeil's into the sky, which crash down upon the opponent, Haiiro then uses "The Underworld" to control and manipulate all of the fired arrows, creating an inescapable field of constricting arrows. While doing this however Haiiro is unable to move nor attack, requiring the help of another to attack and defend for him, which requires a great deal of teamwork.
