Description
Hira is a massive man with extremely well-developed and muscled arms, shoulders and upper body, with a wide belly and comically small legs by comparison. He's completely shaven with horn-like protusions emerging from his eyebrows, chiseled features, broad jaw and jutting lower canine, making him similar to an Oni. He usually wears a broad leather belt, purple tattered pants and a shimenawa rope strewn across his torso, holding the scabbard to his axe. He always wears shades over his eyes. Hira bears a diamond-shaped tattoo on his forehead and on each shoulder.

Personality
Hira is a simple-minded, speaks rarely and when he does is with a lisp. He becomes quickly annoyed when ordered around, though he makes an exception for his captain. When he's irritated by something, Hira will usually growl at anyone and he'll downright roar like a ferocious beast when in combat. Due to his love for battle, he'll be quick to react to an imminent quarrel or an attack, wanting to join in as soon as he can.

History
Hira was born in a remote West Blue country, showing incredible physical prowess even back then. Due to this, he was sold to the local army as a child soldier. Finding military life not of his liking, he eventually escaped, using his tremendous stamina and strength to procure him anything he wanted, causing several damage to infrastructure and whole cities. At 13 he was ambushed by Marines while he was suffering from lack of food and captured, ready to be executed on the same ship where Az was being kept. As a result, when the Fujiwara Pirates attacked the ship and released everyone, Hira was rescued and joined their ranks.

General Abilities
Hira possess an incredibly though, resilient body, to the point that normal melee weapons wielded by standard warriors will simply bounce against his skin or even snap against his muscles, while bullets only annoys him. Thanks to Fujiwara's training, Hira learnt Armament Haki to further propel his defense to extreme levels, letting him pretty much survive anything thrown his way. Due to his build, Hira is also very strong and able to easily demolish stone structure and reinforced buildings with a punch. Due to his girth and small legs though, Hira is slow, easily the slowest and less agile member of the Eight Ogres. Due to his stamina, he can pilot the Heian for prolonged periods of time without getting tired.

Haki
Hira has been taught Haki by Fujiwara and was able to learn Armament Haki to a very high level, allowing him to boost his already-stellar defense to incredible levels. He can also imbue his fists or his axe to bypass Devil Fruit-based defenses and increase the destructive power of his attacks.

Weapons
Hira's personal weapon is an enormous, decorated battle axe called "Oro" (小炉 lit. Little Furnace), which he uses with tremendous skill. While he doesn't know it, Oro was meant to be a Meito-class weapon, though he was stolen by Hira before it could be properly valued.

Trivia

 * Hira's name can mean "Diamond" in Hindi.
 * Oro means "gold" in several languages, a nod to the alternate reading of "kin".
 * Kinki is one of the Four Oni summoned by Fujiwara no Chikata in the poem. As the name suggest, Kinki could make himself nearly invulnerable to conventional weapons.
