Kino often make statements similar to the original Kino's and even quotes him on occasion. Kino is a tall and very thin man when he arrived at Land of Adults. They note that he arrived on foot, and while ridiculed by the guards, he appeared to display immerse dignity. His first appearance shows him disheveled, wearing a black jacket with a long, dusty brown coat, with a tattered backpack. He also wore boots that the young Kino had never seen before. They note that his cheeks were sunken, and that due to the guards' ridicule, white insect powder clung to his hair. They also state that they are unable to understand the language that he sings in, and that he does so quite poorly. Kino lived with his mother in a country by a large forest. Growing up, he told his mother that he would like to travel. He believed that the traveling related to not only his own growth, but also to the growth of his country. As the years passed, he traveled from his home more and more frequently. Kino is shown to know how to repair machinery - he salvages and repairs a motorcycle which eventually is named Hermes, after an old motorcycle he had used to travel with before. ~!He is blamed for the younger Kino's refusal for their grown-up operation, and attempts to leave the country before the situation escalates. However, he dies protecting the child when their father attempts to kill young Kino for disobeying their parents and the country's culture.!~ (Source: Kino's Journey Wiki, edited)
