A young pilot from an African nation, he was mocked by most of the base's freelance pilots and other personnel because they doubted his ability to succeed in Area 88 as a hired mercenary, given his youth for fighting in Asran's civil war. Saki, Roundell, Mickey, Kitori, and Shin regard the boy as someone they can rely on in a crisis, considering Kim a friend and a good pilot. Kim appears only in the manga and the 2004 anime; in the latter, his emblem features a red swan with golden wings, and his fighter is the AV-8 Harrier II.
