Dispatched by Odin to assassinate Loki, the watchman Heimdall assumes the guise of a young boy named Kazumi Higashiyama. However, because his right eye was stolen, he is compelled to keep neck-length purple hair that entirely conceals the right side of his face. His fingernails are actually long, sharp claws, which he hides by wearing bulky gloves. Convinced that Loki is the thief who stole his eye, he aims not only to carry out the assassination order but also to recover his eye or avenge its loss by any means necessary. Although he is one of the more serious characters in the series, Heimdall is also the target of many jokes. The manga frequently mocks his serious demeanor and his obsession with Loki; even though "Kazumi Higashiyama" does not attend school, Heimdall maintains a daily schedule that includes piano lessons, singing lessons, and cram school. In the anime, Heimdall is usually dragged along on shopping sprees by his roommate Freyr, much to his own dismay.
