Kawahira is a character who is mentioned to be a frequent customer of the ramen shop where Future I-Pin works. Future I-Pin is usually caught delivering his ramen when the Ten-Year Bazooka goes off, leaving Kawahira's ramen with soggy noodles.
Kawahira's alter ego, Checker Face, ((チェッカーフェイス, Chekkā Feisū?)), is the one responsible for bringing all Arcobaleno generations together and is the one behind the curse on their bodies. He is also responsible for all the Vindice's mangled bodies.
Character Outline
Personality
Ten years in the future, Kawahira was known to be helpful to Tsunayoshi Sawada and company, sending a Real Funeral Wreath fighter away to protect them from danger. However, as Checker Face, he appears to be calm and collected and fairly confident; he also appears to enjoy toying with the Arcobaleno's emotions, almost in a teasing fashion, as he spoke to them in a cryptic manner, much to the various Arcobalenos' ire. He also appears to be quite perceptive, as he had predicted that the Representative Battle of the Rainbow would attract Bermuda's attention and make him want to join. Because of his duty to protect the planet, he tricked and cursed seven people from generation to generation to become the protectors of Arcobaleno Pacifier as he believed that small sacrifices are necessary to prevent greater ones.
