Hijiri Kirishima

Hijiri Kirishima is a character in Air.

Background
Hijiri Kirishima (霧島 聖) is Kano Kirishima's older sister. She is a doctor. She became a doctor like her parents because she thought that she could cure Kano's illness. She first saw Yukito doing puppet shows in front of her clinic and let him do puppet shows in front of her clinic as long as he works in her clinic.

Personality and Appearance
Hijiri has blue hair that falls to her waist and blue eyes. She is hardworking, strict and likes to make things hard for Yukito.

Support to Kano's illness
After Yukito and Misuzu saw Kano act strange and followed her all the way to the temple and accompanied her home, Hijiri told them about Kano's illness. One day when Kano was little, she was overtaken by the illness and was playing with a knife. Hijiri came in at the right time and stopped Kano from injuring herself. She then tied a yellow bandana to Kano's wrist, telling her that if she never took it off, she would have magic powers. However, the real reason she tied it to Kano's wrist was because she hoped that if Kano dazed off like that again, she would see the bandana and snap out of it.
