Konekomaru Miwa (三輪子猫丸 Miwa Konekomaru) hails from Kyoto along with Ryuji Suguro and Renzo Shima and is an Exwire of the True Cross Order, a student of the Exorcist Cram School, and the surviving head of the Miwa family.

Appearance

Konekomaru has a buzzcut and pale skin. Two of his defining traits are his red glasses and large ears. He is also one of the shortest characters in the series, with people like Rin Okumura and Ryuji Suguro towering over him. In fact, he is so small that the sleeves on the regular-sized school sports jacket are too long for him and must be rolled up or pushed back in order to keep them from covering his hands.

Personality

Konekomaru seems to be very protective of the people who raised him, and watches out for people who may try to hurt his friends and family. Konekomaru is also seen to be somewhat of a peace-maker as he is always trying to keep Ryuji Suguro from getting into fights. Sometime during his childhood, he grew a respected view of Ryuji Suguro and wishes not to hurt or upset him. Like Shima, he calls him "Bon" out of respect, despite how close the two of them are. He is also usually the one to reprimand Shima, though quietly, about his (Shima's) perverted habits.

Although he is polite and kind to everyone, Konekomaru holds a bitter hatred towards Satan due to him causing the death of his family. It gets to the point that he stopped liking Rin for a period after learning he was Satan's son, though he eventually got passed this and the two became friends again.

He is also seen to have somewhat of a blunt side to his personality. When Shima proclaims "I will die" ( Ojo Shimasu) when told to cross the river of bugs with Shiemi's thighs around his head, Konekomaru merely replies that dying might purify him of his evil desires.^[1] Also, when Ryuji attempts to apologize for his actions during the forest mission, Konekomaru states that Ryuji's impudence endangers them all.

History

Konekomaru's father died during the Blue Night, with his mother dying at a later time. Because of this, and him being the only known member in his family, he has been left as the head of the Miwa family. Like Renzo Shima, he was once a pupil of Tatsuma Suguro and is now Ryuji's friend. It is known that he, Ryuji, and Renzo have all been friends since they were children.

Synopsis

Exorcist Cram School Enrollment arc

Konekomaru, along with Ryuji and Renzo, appears as one of the students Rin sees when he first enters the cram-school classroom. He is seen again reading a book next to Ryuji and helping Renzo hold Ryuji back when he is trying to pick a fight with Rin in class. He is seen later on with Renzo and Ryuji and comments on how likes repel in Ryuji and Rin's case since they argue so much yet they have so much in common. He once again helps Renzo hold Ryuji back when he tries to fight Rin during their P.E. class. He tells Renzo not to laugh at Ryuji because of his ambition to defeat Satan due to Satan destroying their temple, and explains to Rin about the Blue Night.

He tries to tell Ryuji not to go down into the Reaper pen, but is ignored. Watching Rin and Ryuji argue, this time over a sandwich. He explains what a Meister is and that his, Renzo's, and Ryuji's ambitions are to become Arias. Ryuji yells at him for telling Rin, causing Rin to repeat the name, now thinking of cats due to Konekomaru's nickname that Ryuji uses (Neko-chan). Ryuji then gets extremely annoyed at both of them and asks when they had gotten so friendly when Rin puts an arm round Konekomaru's shoulders as a friendly gesture. Konekomaru also receives the Bariyon punishment like the rest of the class and is seen praying with his head down. When the lights go out, he manages to get the Demon off of his legs and then tries to help Ryuji when defeating the Naberius. He chants the first 10 chapters from the Book of John while Ryuji chants the last 11. He is the one who guesses that Yamada was actually just Shura Kirigakure in disguise due to the boys' uniform pants she was wearing.

Exorcist Candidate Live Combat arc

During the Exorcist summer forest training, he compliments Rin's cooking abilities. He is later seen running into the forest for the three-day lantern hunting race. He repels the Chuchi by chanting verses from the bible and is the first one of the Exorcists to discover not only the first lantern but also that the training was designed to bring them together, not push them apart. With amazing on-the-spot planning, he devises the 'Konekomaru Formation' in order for them to carry the lantern back to their camp. He repels the moths with Shima while they run through the forest. When they come to the river filled with giant Demon worms, he tells everyone what Ryuji Suguro's drawings mean to relate the plan to them. When Shima refuses to carry Shiemi across the river, Konekomaru replies that dying may purify him of evil desires, prompting Renzo to call him mean.

When Konekomaru was sealing the lantern.

When Rin lures the Peg Lantern across the river, Konekomaru waits on the other side and seals the lantern once it crosses the river. When trying to get Shiemi back from Amaimon later on, he tries to shoot Demon-repelling fireworks at Amaimon. One hits Amaimon's hair spike, causing it to puff up like a head of broccoli. This causes Amaimon to become angry and attack Shima, who laughed. Konekomaru gets in the way of Amaimon when Ryuji Suguro is about to get attacked. Amaimon flicks Konekomaru, breaking his arm easily.
