Kinji Tohyama
Lisa first encountered Kinji in the sewers of Brussels, while trying to escape from Deen due to her ties with the terrorist group, Regiment Hex. Coincidentally, at the same time, Kinji was also trying desperately to escape from Deen due to their suspicions of him being a spy for Greneda. Despite both of them being members of opposing factions, they deemed it necessary to work together in order to survive, thus beginning what would be the start of a very long and powerful bond.

During their escape to the Netherlands, Kinji relied heavily on Lisa's noncombatant skills to communicate with the locals and find a place to stay. Likewise, Lisa also relied on Kinji to protect her, like the time she was being harassed by some kids on the way back from getting groceries, where he stood up for her. During this time, Kinji comes to learn of Lisa's true value as a partner. Also during that time, Lisa realizes that Kinji was the hero she was supposed to serve; as it's the duty of Lisa's bloodline to serve and pass down the traits of great heroes from generation to generation. Lisa asks Kinji to be her master, making an oath that she will never leave his side and swears eternal loyalty to him. Kinji is drawn aback by this gesture as he doesn't see himself as this great hero Lisa believes him to be. Nonetheless, Kinji still indulges her odd request leaving Lisa elated. She begins to dote on him even more as she even tries to "collect his essence" during the night, but Kinji talks her out of it.

Everything was peaceful until the Vatican found out where they were hiding and forced them to retreat. However, during their retreat they were taken hostage by Greneda. Lisa was let off relatively easy by her previous allies, while Kinji was to suffer a "double death" via drowning while also being incinerated by a ballistic rocket's exhaust. Kinji steeled himself for what he believed to be his final moments while Lisa watched in horror as the noose tightened around his neck. Not being able to stand the sight of her master suffer alone, Lisa rushes over to where Kinji was being held. Making good on her oath to stay by his side until the bitter end, she desperately tried to think of a way to save him, she gets shot through the heart by one of Sarah's arrows.
