Kiba || Wolf's Rain

In Kiba's human form, he appears as a young man with medium-length, tousled brown hair and ice blue eyes. His clothing consists of a white shirt, a grey/black jacket with rolled sleeves, blue jeans, and black and white sneakers. He usually is seen with his hands in the pockets of his jacket and with a serious expression on his face.

In Kiba's wolf form, he is an arctic wolf of average build with bright yellow eyes. Throughout the series, he acquires multiple scars of varying shape and size on him.

At first glance, Kiba seems to be an aloof and distant individual who always keeps his cool. He takes great pride in being a wolf; initially, to an impractical extreme, and dislikes humans for their mass hunting and killing of wolves. Constantly being hunted himself, Kiba is irritated when wolves use their human disguises, feeling as if they have no pride in their species.

Despite having a calm disposition, Kiba has a temper and tends to be impulsive; acting mainly on his instincts or his "heart", instead of his head. As such, his habit of unquestioningly following his intuition puzzles and sometimes frustrates his pack-mates in the earlier stages of their journey. He is shown to say exactly what is on his mind at any given moment, should he feel it needs to be said; often offending those who he directs his comments at.

Kiba's mistrust of humanity early on in the series and natural pride as a wolf makes him reluctant to disguise himself as a human. His perspective on this matter shifts when he meets Hige, who tells him that his "pride won't count for much when he's dead" should Kiba refuse to adopt a human disguise.

Kiba is proven to be very courageous, always willing to save and protect his friends when in danger, usually without regard for his own safety. He becomes especially protective of Cheza, whom he remains utterly devoted to until the end of the series; often risking his life to rescue her from the Nobles and other abductors.

As a pup, Kiba’s first pack burned to death in a forest fire caused by Lady Jaguara. He was then raised by a Native American shaman, who told Kiba that "the lunar flowers had sheltered him from the flames, because they knew he would find Paradise." The same man also told Kiba that he had "a great journey ahead of him."

When Kiba begins his quest to find Paradise, he does it in the hope that he will "find a future". It is revealed later in the series that he is the one destined to find and open Paradise
