Son Kihoon

Son Kihoon (also romanized as Son Gi-Hoon) is a supporting character in the Solo Leveling anime, particularly prominent in Season 2.

He is an A-Rank hunter serving as the leader of the Hunters Guild's Strike Team B (the guild's second strike squad). He's depicted as an athletic young man with spiky black hair and a friendly, approachable face. In his anime appearance, he wears distinctive gray armor with brass highlights, a blue midsection, and a long purple cape.

Personality-wise, Kihoon comes across as amicable, responsible, and level-headed — a capable and kind leader who genuinely prioritizes his team's safety and well-being over personal glory. He's shown as determined and composed under pressure, even in dangerous high-stakes raids (like against formidable enemies such as High Orcs), and his squad respects him deeply.

He's a tank-type fighter, skilled at defense and frontline combat, wielding a shield and sword effectively as one of the top hunters in Korea's largest guild. In the anime adaptation, his portrayal emphasizes strong leadership qualities more prominently than in some source interpretations.
