Kino (キノ)
Our young protagonist. A traveler by circumstance, Kino journeys to different lands in the series and stays for no more than 3 days, descovering various traditions, cultures, and historys as a result. They do not interfere with countries laws or quarrels, and prefer to leave any issue they come accross as-is (with exception). They carry 3 persuaders: Canon (1851 Navy Revolver), Woodsman(Colt), and Flute (M-14 Rifle) as well as a knife, and seem extremely proficient in using them for survival.
