Hie (ひえ Hie?) is a character in Devilman Crybaby. He is the beatboxer for a group of rappers alongside Wamu, Gabi, Babo, and Kukun.
Appearance[]
Hie is short and has light tan skin. His hairstyle was dreadlocks which cover his eyes, and he usually wears overalls and a hoodie. He keeps his hands in his pockets most of the time. He has a tattoo of a star which was located on his collarbone.
Personality[]
Hie is quiet, he rarely speaks a word. He is quite good at maintaining his stoic behavior, barely reacting when held at gunpoint by the police. He always likes to rap with his friends, and provided flowing beats for Wamu and Gabi to play off from. He seems to care very much for his friends, even pointing his gun at Miko, who he believed killed Kukun. He, however, is very willing to turn on his friends if he believes that Wamu and Gabi are accomplices for helping Miko and Miki.
History[]
Hie was shown in scenes throughout the first half of the series, beatboxing while his friends began to rap. Throughout these scenes Hie wouldn't say anything.
Sometime after Kukun goes to a Sabbath party with Miki Kuroda, the group of rappers lose contact with him. They spot someone, who they believe is Kukun at a local clothing store, but he falsely accuses them of robbery and they are held at gunpoint by the police. Hie refuses to remove his hands from his pockets. The police believe he is holding a gun, but it is actually a recorder. The group is let go when Miki Makimura steps in.
As the society would slowly start to crumble due to the onslaught of demons, Hie and the group would stay behind at the Makimura household. Akira Fudo and Miko return after the death of Miki's Father, Mother and little brother, but as Miko walks past Hie, she drops her bag on the ground and Kukun's shades would slip out. This led him to mistakenly believing that Miko is a murderer.
As Ryo Asuka publicly reveals Akira's status as a Devilman to the public on live television, Hie is quick to pull out a gun and aim it at Akira as a threat. He is the first to take the shot, but it missed. As Akira would try to plead that he still has a human heart, Hie shifts his aim at Miko instead.
Eventually, Hie and Babo would then quietly betray their friends, as the former saw Wamu and Gabi as traitors for what he believes is disrespecting Kukun's death by sheltering Miko, so they proceed kill Wamu and Gabi off-screen. Later, as Hie goes with several other rioters to hunt down Miko and Miki, the former is shot down and crippled as she told the latter to flee as fast as she can. Hie and the other gunmen would jump out from their van, and points his gun at the injured female Devilman, but it is implied that she commited suicide.
Soon afterwards he is shown waving around the desecrated remains of his former friends, as well as the pieces of the bodies of Miki and Miko, impaled on wooden pikes in a stupor of madness in front of the burning Makimura household. When Akira arrives and sees what happened he incinerates both Hie and the other murderers in his devastation and rage.
