Kizuna Kazayama

Kizuna Kazayama is the Hunting Hero, one of the Four Legendary Heroes from a parallel world in The Rising of the Shield Hero anime (primarily featured in Season 2).

She is a cheerful, strong-willed young woman who appears much younger than her actual age (around 18), with a petite build, brown hair in pigtails, and brown eyes. She often wears a Gothic-style dress.

Kizuna was summoned from an alternate Japan while playing a VRMMO game. Her legendary weapon is a hunting tool (typically manifesting as a fishing rod or similar gear), which excels at fighting monsters but cannot harm humans under normal circumstances.

In the anime, she first encounters Naofumi and his party in the Infinite Labyrinth, where she has been trapped for years. She proves to be a reliable, optimistic ally who values friendship deeply, enjoys fishing, and firmly opposes sacrificing heroes from other worlds to save her own. Her compassionate nature and loyalty make her a key supportive figure in the story.
