Kibano is one of the many people who tried to learn Genkai's techniques. He fought Yusuke in the fourth test and compensated for his poor (on par with Yusuke's) spirit awareness by wearing a special helmet that blocked out his senses of hearing, sight, and smell to enhance these abilities. He can increase the size of his arm muscles and is very skilled at physical techniques. Yusuke beat him with his Spirit Gun by placing Genkai's discarded cigarette on his belt to use as a marker.
