~ Hien about Kato


He was voiced by Kirk Baily.



Skills and Abilities

Like Oaka and Raiden, Hein is substantially tougher than most people, owed in part to his modifications and in part thanks to his high-grade armor, which s both light enough to allow free movement and tough enough to offer redistribution of the force of a high-impact grenade with relative ease. Hien has several high-impact grenades himself. Raiden's unique skill among the three is use of his hand scythe, which is sharp and high-quality enough to pierce tank hauls with a few strokes.


Hien is extremely loyal to Kato. While Hien was nowhere as near to death at the time of the Seraphic Radiance's attack as Raiden was, he still is certain he would have died eventually if not for Kato and thus considers himself indebted to Kato for saving his life. Hien is more socially withdrawn that Raiden. He takes to lone work better than his team-mates but welcomes the company. Hien has a slight sadistic streak and almost taunts Yuri about dying if he is grazed by Astaroth's poisoned nails as well as daring Ouka to test her safety in the training chamber, however there is no real malice behind either of these statements just a twinge of preoccupation with the potential pain of any given situation.


  • Hien's code-name was after Japans fighter jet the Kawasaki Ki-61 AKA "Hien" jet.
  • Both Hien and Raiden are named after Japanese fighter jets.
