- Kino’s weapon of choice, “The Cannon” is a custom Colt 1851 Navy London Model revolver. It is described as firing .44 caliber bullets (as opposed to the 1851’s normal .36 caliber bullets) and uses “liquid gunpowder”. Kino is also seen detaching the loading lever from the front of the barrel and using at as a foregrip when using a specialized, high-power round.
- Kino’s secondary weapon is a custom Colt Woodsman Match Target referred to as “The Ranger”. It features a threaded barrel for the addition of a sound suppressor, and a laser sight has been built into the weighted compensator. Kino keeps it in an IPSC holster behind her back.
- Kino carries a ballistic knife capable of firing .22 caliber rounds out of the grip. She appears to have replaced one of the barrels with a laser pointer.
Hermes: “The most important thing for a traveler is decisiveness. That holds true for both rookie and veteran travelers. Am I wrong?”
Kino: “The most important thing for a traveler is what saves the traveler after struggling to the bitter end.”
Hermes: “What’s that?”
Kino: “That’s luck”

I will never not cry that I missed getting this when it came out.
Kouhaku Kuroboshi is one of my personal favorite illustrators and I thought my blog could use a bit more of his art. I’m particularly fond of his work on theKino’s Journey book and anime series.
(Pardon for the scan quality on some of them. How I long to hold a physical copy of his work in my hands, but until then I am at the mercy of the internet.)
Hello my favourite series. And one of my favourite artists.
KINO’S JOURNEY ▷ This has been an AMV Appreciation Post
This AMV introduced me to both Modest Mouse and Kino no Tabi - one of my favorite bands, one of my Favorite Anime Series. Also? A fantastic AMV on its own right - the timing and use of the double frame as a device is really well done.
