Personality
Koukishi has a very...different personality. He is one of the most "polite" people you can meet, but what sets him aside, is the way he acts beneath his kindness. He will do anything to make sure the opponent knows their manners before their fight, or before he kills them. He is actually a very smooth person, and is nicer than any Akatsuki member.

Appearance
In Part I, Koukishi has hair that only goes down to his shoulders. Koukishi has the front of his hair down, while a small tuff in the back is tied so it looks rugged. He has black highlights in it, however. He wears the signature Akatsuki II cloak, with no red clouds, just a plain black robe. When he takes his robe off, he has the leg-to-foot shoes with the shin braces. He wears a red elbow protector on his right arm and he has on a pair of black pants that are tucked under the shin guards, that also connect to the leg-to-foot shoes. His eyes are a golden yellow, but when he's in the heat of battle, they change to have a sort of red hue. His shirt is just a plain underarmor with netting over it.

In Part II, Koukishi's hair is a bit longer in the back, but now short in the front with just his side tuffs coming down. All his hair is completely down now. His attire is close to the same, except now he wears elbow guards on both arms. His Akatsuki Ring is on his Right Index finger.

Synopsis
Dawn of a New Era

Scrolls of Hope Arc

Koukishi was seen at the very beginning of Part I, with Jinrai in the Stormy Wasteland, a land outside of Kumogakure. He infiltraated the village with ease and fought off Omoi, the ANBU leader of Kumo. He then ran off with the scroll, successful.

He later appeared along Kisame Hoshigaki and Jinrai Bakkuri in the raid of Iwagakure, in Chapter 4. He was used to flood the city and to get closer to the Shrine. Once inside, he was surprised by Sasuke's sudden Black Phoenix jutsu to crush him. He avoided this technique and helped them get out of the city. However, to Sasuke's disdain, he saw Koukishi had gotten the scroll before he escaped.

Later, he was seen in a small cameo where some of the members were "grieving" over Jinrai's "death". But, as they downed on the new member, Kuchia Uchiha, Koukishi upgraded their talk by telling them how talented Kuchia actually was. This is a hint to the soon grouping of him and Kuchia.

After this, he is seen with the other Akatsuki fleeing their hideout when the Squads from Konoha, Suna and Kiri were getting together to attack Akatsuki head on.

The Final Scroll Arc

Koukishi was finally seen again when he and Jinrai were sent on a mission to find the stones from Vigor Cliff. When sent on that mission, Sasuke Uchiha catches up to them and challenges them to a fight. Jinrai is sent off, while Koukishi stays behind to fight him. Sasuke tried to test Koukishi by going after Jinrai, but Koukishi proved to be as fast as Sasuke and counter-acted every move he made. After some time, their battles simmered down to Sasuke using Susanoo on a protected Koukishi. In the end, Koukishi was battered and Sasuke as well. Naruto appeared at Sasuke's side and settled them. Jinrai appeared as well, and they came to a settlement, even though Jinrai would take the stones, and no fight was further ordered.

Sannin Arc

Koukishi was healed up by the time the Sannin ambushed the Akatsuki at their headquarters. Koukishi was caught in the fight where Sasuke fought off him, Hidan and Kuchia. Koukishi managed to get some points in, but when Hidan accidently thinks he has Sasuke's blood, he starts the ritual and stabs himself, only to find he stabs Koukishi. Hidan undoes the spell and Koukishi falls. He then retreats, along with some of the other Akatsuki.

New Era: Densetsu

Captured Arc

Koukishi is first seen in Part II when Orochimaru is talking about his true intentions of Akatsuki.

Later, he is seen with Kuchia, capturing Hizuka Haruno for Orochimaru. Mokunti, Sauno and Uzuna take chase to the duo after waking up an hour later. When they caught up, Koukishi let loose Sasko of the Hidden Sand for them to fight.

When Koukishi was seen in Crystal Cave, searching for the Black Crystal, Uzuna, Mokunti, Neten and Crino caughth up to him. Koukishi quickly uses his Blood Art: Constant Reproductive Cell jutsu, where every time one of his clones is truck down, it makes two or three more. After a minute or so, Mokunti scales the wall and starts to get into a tactical spat with him. It ended where Koukishi lobbed a spear through Mokunti, which he avoided barely. Then, Uzuna appeared from above him, with his Piercing Rasengan and struck him. After the massive explosion, Koukishi rose, oozing his protective blood. He escaped after rufising to tell Uzuna about Hizuka's whereabouts. Uzuna tried to stop him, but to no avail.

Trivia
Of all the Akatsuki, Koukishi is seen, heard of or mentioned the most, appearing in approximately 9 of the 20 chapters of Dawn of a New Era.


 * He is also considered one of the strongest, since his ability doesn't allow him to die unless he is hit, without him noticing the oncoming attack, directly in the heart. However, it is hard to do this as his sensing capabilities are very strong.

Koukishi has been in a total of 56 missions in his lifetime: 13 D-Rank, 21 C-Rank, 8 B-Rank, 10 A-Rank, and 6 S-Rank.
