Ichiyō Higuchi

Ichiyou Higuchi (樋口 一葉,) is a member of the Port Mafia. She works under Akutagawa's orders, and acts as his assistant and bodyguard.

Appearance
Higuchi is a fairly tall, young woman in her 20's. Her hair is blonde and comes down to her shoulders, which she usually keeps tied up into a messy bun. Her eyes are a deep brown color. She wears a black suit that she leaves unbuttoned, and is also usually seen wearing a pair of rectangular sunglasses.

When Higuchi is first introduced, she has a more refined appearance. Her hair is let out of its usual bun and is brushed neatly. She is also seen without her sunglasses and has buttoned up her jacket properly.

Personality
In her introduction, Higuchi appeared as a meek, young lady who fears for her safety after reportedly seeing suspicious individuals loitering around her place of operations.

But after leading Atsushi, Junichirou and Naomi into a trap, she revealed her true personality as a Port Mafia member who is loyal to the organization but bloodthirsty and reckless since she uses firearms to harm the target she is supposed to capture.

Ability
Higuchi is never shown using an ability nor is ever mentioned to have one. She is most likely one of the lone characters, like Naomi, who does not have an ability.

Although she doesn't have an ability, she is shown to be highly proficient with firearms. She is shown wielding pistols and sub-machine guns several times in the series.

Background
In chapter 41 it is revealed that she lives with her younger sister.
