Kirigi is an extremely powerful ninja assassin. Both a weapons master and an accomplished martial artist, proficient with all the trademark ninja weapons. In addition to being a master swordsman, Kirigi is able to move and attack at superhuman speed. The use of a form of meditation allows him to recover from otherwise-mortal wounds. As a result, he is virtually impervious to all but devastating wounds. After being resurrected by The Hand, he works as an operative for the group.Elektra challenged Kirigi in a final battle on who should get the Treasure, which was a girl named Abby. They fought but Kirigi got the upper hand, beating Elektra around until she realized he killed her mother when she was a child. Kirigi then ran up to her, but Elektra impaled him in the chest with a sai and flipping him into a well, where he disintegrated while falling.
