Benimaru Shinmon

is the Battalion Commander of the 7th Special Fire Brigade.

Appearance
Benimaru is a young man with neck-long, wavy, dark-coloured hair. He has dark eyes, with his right eye having a circular pupil with a white outline and his left — a white crossed pupil, making his eyes reminiscent to the game of tic-tac-toe. He normally carries a gloomy facial expression. Benimaru's outfit consists of a light t-shirt with a dark-coloured vest over it, the Special Fire Brigade uniform trousers that he tucks into his dark boots, and dark-coloured, finger-less gloves and a dark jumper, which is wrapped around his waist.

When not attending a mission, Benimaru is seen wearing a black t-shirt underneath a black samurai-styled hakama, with a white strap around the waist acting as a belt and black boots.

Personality
Benimaru is a person who likes to work alone and not co-operate with other brigades. Because of his stubborn attitude, he's shown to be inattentively disrespectful even to highly-admired people such as the emperor of Tokyo by not bowing at his appearance. Despite this, Benimaru has a lot of faith in himself and in his brigade.

VS. 1st Special Fire Brigade arc
Benimaru and his brigade confront a giant Flame Human that showed up in the jurisdiction of their area, noting it to be larger than normal, but encouraging his brigade not to be afraid. Soon after, Benimaru and his brigade defeat it.

Some time after, Benimaru shows up at the Amaterasu along with another member of the 7th and meets with all the Battalion Commanders of the Special Fire Brigades, as well as the Imperial King of Tokyo, to discuss matters of the artificial Flame Humans, and the appearance of the white hooded figures.
