Japan

Kiku Honda is a main character in the series Axis Powers Hetalia. He is the representation of Japan, and is part of the Axis Powers.

Appearance
He is a petite man with dark hair and dark eyes, and is often depicted wearing a white military uniform with black and gold accents. His first appearance in both the anime and published manga shows him briefly wearing a more ornate version, with gold epaulets and frog clasps down the front of the jacket. When he first appeared in the webcomic, he wore a standard gray uniform until sometime after joining the Axis.

In some of Himaruya's official art, his hair is dark brown and his eyes are a lighter brown, though he is usually colored with black hair and darker eyes.

Personality And Interests
A quiet and hard-working man, Kiku does not know very much about the outside world and needs time to adjust to other people. His distinct island customs may seem mysterious to others, though he finds them perfectly normal. He tends to have the behavior of an "old man" and was a hermit for the longest time.

Having been discovered by Yao as a small child, he was raised by the older boy and taught how to use kanji, which he used to create the hiragana alphabet from. Kiku eventually turned on him and attacked him with a sword, leaving him with a disfiguring scar on his back.

Im Yong Soo (South Korea)

The two don't get along very well, Yong Soo claiming to hate him but always copying his style and taking credit for others' work (even going as far to claim that "tsundere" originated in Korea). He also has an unusual obsession with wanting to touch Kiku's "breasts".
