'''I-Pin''' is a young assassin from Hong Kong, tasked with assassinating a target in Japan. She is [[Fon|Fon's]] apprentice, able to use the [[Gyoza-Kempo]] to disable enemies. She is also known as the "Human Bomb", due to her special technique, the [[Pinzu-Timed Super Explosion]].

I-Pin was originally mistaken as a male due to her masculine appearance. I-Pin has black hair tied in single braid that stands upright. Her eyes are extremely slanted, causing her to have severe nearsightedness. She wears a red cheongsam-style shirt with white sleeve cuffs over dark shorts. She has circular red spots on her cheeks and has no ears.<ref name=ch24>{{refmanga|chap=24}}</ref>
'''I-Pin''' is an assassin from Hong Kong. Even though the 5-year-old I-Pin cannot speak Japanese well, the 15-year-old "Future I-Pin" eventually enters a Japanese college, and despite the fact that she is the 3rd Most Promising Young Assassin (Fuuta ranked her as being the third out of 52,262 people for being a Promising Assassin), she works part-time at a ramen restaurant in the future, though she still retains her skills. [[Kawahira]] is a frequent customer of the Ramen Shop that the 15-year-old I-Pin works for; however, it seems that every time I-Pin goes to deliver the ramen, she is transported into the past by the [[Ten-Year Bazooka]], and the noodles become soggy. When she is first seen, it is believed that she is a boy due to her unfeminine appearance. She would often beat up Lambo because she sees him as a "Broccoli Monster" due to her near-sightedness. She has a crush on [[Kyoya Hibari]], who looks like her master [[Fon]]; as a result, every time she sees him, she gets shy and activates the [[Pinzu-Timed Super Explosion]].
 
===Appearance===
 
At present, she is mostly bald except for a single braid that has earned her the nickname "Tail-head" from Lambo. Her eyes are always closed and she wears a red cheongsam-style shirt with white sleeve cuffs over dark shorts. She has circular red spots on her cheeks and noticeably no ears. In the future, she has been shown wearing the same shirt over long, plain white trousers. When working, she wears a plain white uniform with a matching headscarf. Her older self styles her hair in two braids instead of one.

Ten years later, I-Pin has been shown wearing the same shirt over long, plain white trousers. When working, she wears a plain white uniform with a matching headscarf. Her older self styles her hair in two braids instead of one. She also has a dragon tattoo similar to Fon on her leg.<ref>{{refbook|colore}}</ref>
==Plot Overview==
 
===[[Daily Life Arc]]===
 
   
  +
== Personality ==
Her first appearance takes place as she is been given a mission to assassinate someone in Japan. However due to her near-sightedness she thinks [[Tsuna]] is her target and attempts to kill him instead. However, after clarification she immediately drops the mission and even ends up living at Tsuna's house. She spends her time either helping out [[Nana]] or chasing [[Lambo]]. Once, I-Pin accidentally gives [[Kyoko]] and [[Haru]] her Gyoza-Kempo buns, which contain the essence of 5 million gyoza, enough to kill a normal person. Fortunately, [[Reborn]] shoots both Kyoko and Haru with a [[Dying Will Bullet|Dying Will bullet]], and, as they had the same dying will, were both able to survive.
 
  +
I-Pin is normally energetic, friendly and shown having a fondness for food. She usually gets into fights with Lambo due to his playful antics. She is quite infatuated with [[Kyoya Hibari]] who resembles her master. She becomes extremely shy around him, causing her to activate the [[Pinzu-Timed Super Explosion]].
   
 
I-Pin also tends to be forgetful, nearly killing Kyoko and Haru by accidentally feeding them Gyoza-Kempo buns, which contain the essence of 5 million gyoza, enough to kill a person.
===[[Kokuyo Arc]]===
 
[[File:I-Pin's Kick.PNG|thumb|250px|left|Adult I-Pin in action]]
 
I-Pin is seen being whispered to by Reborn. Later, when [[Birds]] commands the [[Bloody Twins]] to attack Haru and Kyoko, her Future self and Future Lambo protect Haru and Kyoko from the twins.
 
   
 
== Weapons and Abilities ==
===[[Varia Arc]]===
 
  +
As a student of Fon and an assassin, I-Pin is very strong in combat. She can send a person flying with one kick.
I-Pin, [[Fuuta]], and Lambo are attacked by [[Leviathan]]'s [[Varia Lightning Strike Squad]]. After Lambo is hit, I-Pin does battle with one of the assassins to protect them. When Tsuna shows up, it is revealed that even this young I-Pin successfully held her own against a Varia member.
 
   
  +
I-Pin speaks broken Japanese, due to her Chinese heritage. Over the course of the series, she can speak a little conversational Japanese. Ten-years-later I-Pin is fluent in Japanese.
Later on, she shows up with [[Hana]] and Kyoko to the [[Sun Ring Battle]]. She is at first alarmed at how still Lambo is, but finds out that he was only sleeping.

When the trial was nearly over, I-Pin, who was hiding in the shadows since the beginning, intervened and prevented Fon's escape. They fought briefly using martial arts and [[Gyoza-Kempo]], but her biggest accomplishment was when she used Gyoza-Kempo on Lambo, attacking him to send Fon flying into Tsuna's lap.

After returning from the past with the rest of Tsuna's Family, I-Pin was always seen together with Kyoko, Haru and [[Yuni]]; however, they were interrupted when [[Zakuro]], one of the [[Six Funeral Wreaths]], attacked the Vongola Base.

===[[Lambo]]===
 
I-Pin and Lambo have a sibling relationship. I-Pin sees Lambo as a spoiled, selfish child, similar to how Gokudera sees him. I-Pin is nearly always the first person to punish Lambo for misbehaving. She does, however, care for Lambo as seen when he was hospitalized during the Ring Conflict.
 
===[[Fon]]===
 
I-Pin respects and cares for her master Fon immensely, Fon also caring for I-Pin as well. Whenever I-Pin sees Fon, she happily greets him, Fon also replying that he was pleased to see her alright as well; however, I-Pin also knows the appropriate action for certain situations, assisting Tsuna in capturing Fon for Fon's Arcobaleno Trial.
 
===[[Kyoya Hibari]]===
 
Young I-Pin is shown to have a huge, endearing crush on Hibari, always blushing whenever she comes across him and activating her Pinzu-Timed Super Explosion due to embarrassment. Hibari seems to have a soft spot for her as well; in the anime, he accepted her Valentine's Day chocolates with a small smile, and he restrained from taking money from Tsuna upon seeing I-Pin's worried expression. However the ten years later I-Pin seems to have left her crush apart, since when she watches Hibari pass she does not blush anymore.
