Biography
Kirigi
The Hand came to resurrect him in order to destroy Elektra. This plot eventually reaches its climax as Elektra, walking into a trap laid by the Hand, attempts to kill the Hand's Jonin with Daredevil's assistance. Instead of meeting the Jonin, Elektra meets Kirigi. In response, Elektra stabs him with two sai; however, he merely pulls the weapons out effortlessly. He then dupes Elektra into going for her sai, only to choke Elektra with his rope knife. However, Elektra manages to impale Kirigi with the former's blade, forcing him to break off the fight. A day later, however, he returns to attack Elektra again after recovering from his wounds using meditation and mystic ointments. Once again, a fierce battle ensues. Elektra flees into a semi-rig and smashes into him at a high speed. Elektra then leaps out of the semi-rig before it explodes. In spite of this, Kirigi merely stands back up, though his skin is still engulfed in flames. Finally, Elektra simply decapitates him as he tries to regain his bearings, saying: "God or demon, Kirigi had a neck and that was human enough." (Daredevil v1 #176)
Several ninjas of the Hand soon clash with the Chaste and Daredevil and sacrifice their lives in order to resurrect Kirigi once again to aid them in their battle against the Chaste and Daredevil. At the moment, Daredevil's enhanced abilities had temporarily lost control and is in an isolation tank with Stick trying to help regain control of them. Newly revived, Kirigi attempts to ambush Stick but he is no match for the Chaste warriors who collectively are able to defeat him. Stick then orders Kirigi's body destroyed to prevent from being resurrected once again. (Daredevil v1 #188)

Alternate Versions
In other media
Films
- In Elektra, Kirigi appeared as the primary antagonist in the setting of the lie-action film where he was portrayed by actor Will Yun Lee. This version was different as he was not a hulking masked ninja but typically wore white clothing and was a master assassin who was the son of the Hand's current leader Master Roshi. In addition to being a master swordsman, he is able to move and attack at superhuman speed. Elektra Natchios challenged Kirigi in a final battle on who should get the Treasure (Abby Miller). The two fought but Kirigi got the upper hand, beating Elektra around until Elektra realized Kirigi was the killer of Natchios's mother. Kirigi then ran up to Elektra, but Elektra stabbed him in the chest with a sai and threw him into a well, where he disintegrated while falling.
