The Rising of the Shield Hero is a popular work that has been scheduled for a two-season anime adaptation starting in January 2019. It is a fantasy about reincarnation and features demi-humans, but it is also a work that depicts negative emotions such as hatred and revenge at every turn. In this article, we will introduce Kawasumi Itsuki, the Bow Hero who appears in The Rising of the Shield Hero.

Itsuki Kawasumi, summoned as the Bow Hero, is a 17-year-old high school student. He is actually from a Japan with supernatural powers, and was summoned from a different world than the Japan known to the Shield Hero, Naofumi. When he was summoned to this world, he described it as similar to the console game, Dimension Wave. His magical aptitudes are wind and earth, and he can use the spell "Down," which lowers the enemy's abilities. Unfortunately, he still has a lot of childishness and arrogance left in him. As such, he is always causing trouble for the Shield Hero.

Watching Itsuki from The Rising of the Shield Hero reminds me of Kirenger from Gorenger. He's always bringing trouble. For those of your generation who don't know Kirenger, if you think of a male character wearing yellow in another Sentai series, I think he probably has a similar role. Before you know it, Itsuki is taking care of Myne. Well, it can't be helped. He's still a kid, after all.

Unfortunately, the other three heroes are currently on the losing side. They're not even being drawn in. I can't wait to see how they grow in the future. And will they one day truly cooperate with the Shield Hero? Thank you for watching today. Subscribing, commenting, and rating are all very encouraging, so please keep them coming!
