About Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Posted by Kate on 5:57 PM
The Vongola Famiglia has long since been the most powerful Mafia Family in all of Italy. The Vongola Mafia began as a vigilante group to protect the people. Each generation of the Vongola family has donned formal attire when risking their lives to fullfill this duty. The Vongola had originally started as a model organization that existed to protect people, but their way to protect gradually changed during Vongola Secondo reign. To be done by violence and crime. They have had several other Mafia Families serving them, including a few members from the infamous Arcobaleno. They also possess the Vongola Rings, which have been around since the founding of the Mafia Underworld, and are usually in the possession of the main Vongola Members. As of now, it is headed by Vongola Nono, Timoteo, but he will soon be succeeded by Vongola Decimo, Tsunayoshi Sawada .

Vongola Trial
The Vongola Trial is a trial that every Vongola Boss must pass in order to gain a great power. The bosses need to be in a near-death experience in order to take the trial.Vongola Sin
Vongola Sin
The Vongola Sin is a small bottle that the Vongola Boss inherits at every generation that shows proof that the Vongola Boss Candidate has become boss. It was created by Primo to leave behind memories of his battles.It resides in a special box with the Vongola crest that the current Boss protects. It was never mentioned until the Inheritance Ceremony Arc.
During the Inheritance Ceremony, the Shimon Famiglia managed to steal the Sin. By dripping it onto his ring, Enma was able to go into Hyper Dying Will Mode. It was then revealed that the Sin was the only reason why the Shimon went to the Ceremony, and also, was specifically the blood of the first Shimon Boss - Cozart Shimon, supporting the fact that Enma states that the Sin belongs to the Shimon.
Penalty
Penalty
The Penalty is the blood of Vongola Primo that can upgrade the Vongola Rings, similar to the way Sin upgrades the Shimon Rings.Unknown to the Vongola, the Penalty was kept by Talbot.
It was said by Talbot that the Vongola Rings, together with the Box Weapons and the Penalty, can create a power that is able to match the Shimon Rings' power.
Vongola Rings
Original Vongola Rings
The Vongola Rings are priceless, powerful Vongola treasures, and part of the Tri-ni-sette. The types of Flames emitted by Rings are named after these Rings. Sky for Orange, Storm for Red, Rain for Blue, Cloud for Purple, Lightning for Green, Sun for Yellow, and Mist for Indigo.
Vongola Rings are used to signify the leader of every generation of the Vongola and the six people most suited to be his or her Guardians. The Boss is always a natural born Sky type. It is even said that the ways that these Guardians are chosen sometimes relate to their relationships with one another, such as the Cloud sometimes being a catalyst for the Storm, and Storm being the catalyst for Lightning (an example of the latter is that Gokudera treats Lambo as an annoying little brother). In the final battle between Tsuna and Byakuran, Vongola Primo was summoned using the Miracle of Shield Dimension. Primo explained that due to the Vongola Rings being split between the boss and the external advisor, the Ring's total Flame output is restrained unlike the Mare Rings and the Arcobaleno Pacifiers of the same Tri Ni Sette. When it's Original Form (without the division) is restored, its user is granted incredible power.
Inheritance Ceremony
The Vongola Inheritance Ceremony is when the Boss to be (Tsuna) officially inherits the Title of next Vongola Boss. Since the Vongola Famiglia is one of the biggest Mafia Families in the world, powerful Families from all over the world will travel to attend the Ceremony and see the next Vongola Boss for themselves. Also, since the Ceremony is an important event for the Vongola Family to retain their power, it is expected that some Mafia Families will either boycott the ceremony or try to prevent it from taking place altogether.Family Members

Trivia
Vongola Family Tree
- Giotto's Japanese descendants and his own Japanese name is named after Tokugawa Shoguns, like Ieyatsu Sawada (Tokugawa Ieyasu), Yoshimune Sawada (Tokugawa Yoshimune), Yoshinobu Sawada (Tokugawa Yoshinobu), Ietsuna Sawada (Tokugawa Ietsuna), Iemitsu Sawada (Tokugawa Iemitsu), Tsunayoshi Sawada (Tokugawa Tsunayoshi).
- Timoteo's Guardians are all named after desserts.
- In Famiglia popularity poll, Vongola Famiglia ranked 1st and 2nd (Vongola Ten Years Later).
- Xanxus states that Giotto moved out to Japan because he was afraid of Vongola Secondo's Flame of Wrath. However, it was actually the first guardian of the Mist Ring, Daemon Spade, that made Primo move to Japan.
- Similarities between the Giotto's Family and Tsuna's Family:
- Giotto and Tsuna look alike and have the same Weapon (though Tsuna's Weapon has a 'X' on it instead of an 'I').
- Knuckle and Ryohei used their fists to fight. Ryohei in the Future noted that he can't kill, which is also a referrence to their similarities, as the First Sun Guardian accidentally killed someone and stopped being active due to being afraid of taking life again.
- Lampo and Lambo looked alike and both are cowardly, both has been put into battle though Tsuna doesn't want Lambo to participate but needs to do so because he's a Vongola Guardian.
- G. and Gokudera looked alike and was also their Boss' right-hand man. They both are skilled in mid-range combat (the first Storm Guardian used a Bow and Arrow while the Gokudera used Bombs, both of which mid-range combat Weapons). Gokudera's Vongola Box is based after the First Storm Guardian's Bow and Arrow.
- Asari Ugetsu and Yamamoto both look alike, both use four Swords, both have deep devotions to their friends (Giotto and Tsuna), and both were faced with the decision to give up something they loved or follow the path of the Blade (they both chose the Blade: the First Rain Guardian gave up music to help Giotto when he was in trouble, and Yamamoto gave up baseball to help Tsuna).
- Daemon Spade and Mukuro Rokudo share many similar traits, however, Chrome, has nothing in common with the 1st Generation Guardian.
- Alaude and Hibari, as Dino states that Hibari reminds him of the First Vongola Cloud Guardian as he never stood alongside the Family, and never got along with anyone, that he loved being alone. The First Cloud Guardian as well as Hibari both worked in law enforcement (the First Cloud Guardian worked with a secret intelligence agency while Hibari was the head of his school prefects). Also, they looked alike, but have different hair and eye colors.

Tsunayoshi Sawada
Main article: Tsuna Sawada
Tsunayoshi Sawada (沢田 綱吉/ツナ Sawada Tsunayoshi), referred to as Tsuna, is the 14-year-old central character of the series. Because of his severely low self-esteem and lack of talent in any activity, Tsuna is known as "No-Good Tsuna" at his middle school Namimori. After being informed that he is the heir to the Vongola Family, due in part to him being the great-great-great grandson of the first Vongola boss as well as the untimely deaths of the other candidates for the position, he is trained into becoming a mob-boss by the infant Vongola hitman Reborn.[8] Tsuna is often shot by Reborn with a bullet that increases his physical abilities in order for him to fulfill his regrets. That state is what gradually makes others see him in a better light. For the most part of the series, Tsuna rejects his position and wants nothing to do with the Mafia, however, due to the results of various conflicts involving himself and his friends, his own power matures and he eventually starts embracing his destiny.[9] He is voiced by Yukari Kokubun in the anime.[10]Hayato Gokudera
Main article: Hayato Gokudera
Hayato Gokudera (獄寺 隼人 Gokudera Hayato) is a 14-year-old transfer student from Italy who was placed in Tsuna's class. Gokudera is a dynamite expert nicknamed "Smokin' Bomb Hayato" (スモーキン・ボム 隼人 Sumōkin Bomu Hayato), or "Hurricane Bomb Hayato" in the anime. He keeps various explosives hidden on his body and uses those explosives liberally by lighting them with a cigarette (or several) held in his mouth. Initially, he comes to Japan in order to test Tsuna's strength, and after the latter risks his life to save Gokudera, he devotes himself entirely to Tsuna, having sworn to become his right-hand man. A hot-headed and short-tempered youth, he continuously gets into fights with several of the other characters, especially to those who try to get too close to Tsuna. Despite his personality, he is considered to be a genius, excelling in his academic studies.[11] He is voiced by Hidekazu Ichinose in the anime.[12]Takeshi Yamamoto
Main article: Takeshi Yamamoto
Takeshi Yamamoto (山本 武 Yamamoto Takeshi) is the 14-year-old popular baseball star of Namimori Middle School. Despite his carefree and outgoing personality, he initially has no confidence in doing anything other than baseball, even attempting to commit suicide after sustaining major injury to his arm. After Tsuna reassures him, the two become close friends, and Reborn tries to recruit him into the Vongola Family.[13] He hardly takes anything seriously, and is usually oblivious to what is truly happening around him, often tricked by Reborn into participating in Mafia-related events because he thinks that they are all just playing a game.[14] Though he becomes a dedicated and valuable member of Tsuna's family, growing to become a fighter who excels at swordsmanship, he still does not understand the full extent of the situation surrounding the Mafia.[15] He is voiced by Suguru Inoue in the anime.[16]Lambo

He has a huge afro (which he stores a variety of objects in, such as snacks and weapons) with horns on the sides of his head. Despite being a hitman, he lacks the emotional maturity and discipline that Reborn has and is also very conceited as well as being a crybaby. In order to prove that he is worthy of becoming his own family's boss, he comes to Japan to kill Reborn, though he only proves that he is no match for the Vongola hitman. His main choice of weapons are hand grenades, and his future dream is to rule the world. He also possesses his family's Ten-Year Bazooka, which replaces his present self with another version of himself ten years into the future. The 15-year-old Lambo remains a crybaby, though his good looks make him more charming to others.[17] His child self is voiced by Junko Takeuchi, while his older self is voiced by Kenjirō Tsuda in the anime.[18][19]Ryohei Sasagawa
Main article: Ryohei Sasagawa
Ryohei Sasagawa (笹川 了平 Sasagawa Ryōhei) is the 15-year-old passionate member of the boxing club at Namimori Middle School. He constantly asks others he believe are strong to join his club, most notably Tsuna. In response, Reborn wants to recruit him into Tsuna's family.[20] Every time he sees Tsuna and his family doing something strange, he gets fired up and always wants to be a part of it. Because of his energetic character, however, he does not understand the full extent of Tsuna's connection with the Mafia, but still does everything that he can to protect him and fights with as much spirit and confidence as the others. Proficient in hand-to-hand combat, his boxing training lead to his peak physical condition. He is a habit of always saying "to the extreme" as a single response or as an ending to his sentences.

Though he uses his status to harass others, he actually has great pride in his school and has a soft side toward animals. However, students are not the only ones who fear him, teachers and other town residents know of him as well since he enforces his form of order throughout the entire town. He prefers to be alone, usually beating up those who crowd near him. Despite caring little about the events surrounding Tsuna and his friends, Hibari takes a great interest in Reborn after seeing his abilities, which is reciprocated by Reborn, who wants to recruit him as part of Tsuna's own family.[22] He is voiced by Takashi Kondo in the anime.[23] Mukuro RokudoMain article: Mukuro Rokudo
Mukuro Rokudo (六道 骸 Rokudō Mukuro) is a 15-year-old Mafia criminal who escaped from an Italian prison, which held some of the most dangerous Mafia criminals, before he was to be executed.

However, under Adult Hibari's instructions, she uses the power of her Vongola Ring to sustain her organs via her own illusions, thus avoiding any immediate danger.[28][29] Afterwards she is given the Mist Vongola Box Weapon, the Demon Spade Evil Lens, which allows her to see through enemy illusions.

Kokuyo Gang
Main article: Kokuyo Gang
The Kokuyo Gang is a group led by Mukuro Rokudo, who formed the group after escaping from a special, high security jail in Italy which housed heinous criminals who have even committed crimes against the Mafia. Along with the two comrades he escaped with, Ken Joshima and Chikusa Kakimoto, he recruited other Mafia criminals who were able to break out from the same jail some time later.[24] After their defeat at the hands of Tsuna and his friends, they were all once again imprisoned,[31] though Chikusa and Ken are later able to escape, while Mukuro strikes a deal with the Vongola for their safety.[32]The Varia
Main article: The Varia
The Varia is the Vongola Family's elite, independent assassination team. They are composed of genius assassins who work in the deepest recesses of the Mafia. Each member takes on missions that are said to be impossible to accomplish by humans, however, they do not accept a mission unless they believe there is a 90% chance of success. Those that see them work often say that their high level assassination skills are demonic. Despite lacking loyalty and respect for other members, they are extremely loyal to their leader, Xanxus. The Varia also appear to have more than fifty subordinates ranged under the command of the main members. The Varia is apparently reclusive, only showing themselves after Iemitsu Sawada disappeared.[33]Millefiore Family
Main article: Millefiore Family
The Millefiore Family (ミルフィオーレファミリー Mirufiōre Famirī) is the Mafia family that is engaged in battle against the Vongola Family in the future. The Millefiore is a result of the merging of two separate Mafia families: the up-and-coming Gesso (ジェッソ Jesso) Family led by Byakuran, and the family with as much history as the Vongola, the Giglio Nero (ジッリョネロ Jirryo Nero) led by Uni. They are organized into two groups to distinguish their old families, which are then further separated into 17 different squads, each named for a plant or flower.[34] Those originally from the Giglio Nero are the Black Spell and have the tendency to engage in direct combat, while those from the Gesso are the White Spell and specialize in cunning battle tactics. There appears to be animosity between members of the White Spell and the Black Spell, resulting in a lack of communication and sabotage by individual squads. Their organization also possesses the Mare Rings, a set of seven rings on par with the Vongola Rings originally belonging solely to the Giglio Nero.[35]Shimon Family
The Shimon Family is a Mafia group that has been allies with the Vongola since before Giotto, but had grown weak over the years. Seven of its members transfer into Namimori Middle School in order to attend Tsuna's inheritance ceremony. These members are Shitt P., Suzuki Adelheid, Kaoru Mizuno, Rōji Ōyama, Koyo Aoba, Julie Katō, and the tenth Shimon boss, Enma Kozato. Their true motive is to take revenge on the Vongola, who supposedly betrayed the Shimon Family during the first generations' time. Their power comes from the Shimon rings, which are fully activated by Vongola's Sin, a vial which is said to contain the blood of the first Shimon boss. Their rings use flames of the Earth as opposed to Vongola's flames of the sky. In the chapter titled "Overpowered", the Shimon destroyed 5 of the 7 Vongola Rings: Tsuna's, Ryohei's, Hibari's, Chrome's, and Gokudera's. Lambo was hiding in fear, and Yamamoto was in the hospital in Namimori.Other characters
Vongola Family
The Vongola Family (ボンゴレファミリー Bongore Famirī) has long since been the most powerful Mafia family in all of Italy since its creation 400 years prior to the start of the series. They are considered to have a violent and bloody history,[36] and have had several other Mafia families and organizations serving them, including a few members from the infamous Arcobaleno.[8] Giotto a.k.a. Vongola I (Primo) is the founder of the Vongola Family. He was known to have had an unorthodox family; that is, he accepted anyone he liked, including kings, military men, rival Mafia members, and even religious people.[37] The organization has also been on the receiving end of secret black ops military technology, which has bolstered their strength over the years.[38] Those who inherit the Vongola bloodline have certain unique traits; some traits are consistent, with every Vongola in each generation possessing it like heightened intuition,[39] while sometimes it would skip either one or possibly even several generations. They also possess the Vongola Rings, seven invaluable rings which have been around since the founding of the Mafia underworld and are usually in possession of the main members known as the Vongola Guardians.[40] They are also rich in various traditions,[41][42] most notably the Vongola Tournament, a traditional battle in which two groups vie for the seven guardian positions.[43]Timoteo
Timoteo (ボンゴレ) a.k.a. Vongola Nono (ボンゴレIX代目(ノーノ) Bongore Nono) is the current head of the Vongola crime family. He uses a scepter as his primary weapon.[44] It is implied that he is becoming too weak to lead the family, and thus accepted Iemitsu's son, Tsuna, as the next head of the Vongola Family. However, Xanxus, his adopted son, deemed himself more worthy to become the next boss, so he kidnapped and replaced IX with a fake, who sanctioned the traditional Vongola Tournament. The real IX was placed within Gola Moska, gradually draining him of his life energy, though he is later saved by Tsuna. He appears in Tsuna's vision during the future story arc,[45] leading Tsuna to believe that he may be dead in the future.[34]Giotto
Giannini
Giannini is part of a family who has provided weapons' tuners for the Vongola for many years, but his own "modifications" actually make all the weapons far less useful.[46] He travels inside a round mechanical machine, but does not seem to do so anymore in the future, a time where his skills have greatly improved.[47]Talbot
Talbot is a mysterious old man working under the Vongola family. Noone knows just how old he is, but he is rumored to have served under Giotto. When the Vongola Rings are destroyed by the Shimon family, Talbot rebuilds them using the blood of Giotto, fusing them with the animal rings. Combined with the resolve of the Vongola family, they become the Version X Vongola Rings.[48]Arcobaleno
The Arcobaleno (which means "rainbow" in Italian) is the group of the seven strongest infants, who each possesses a pacifier colored as one of the colors of the rainbow,[49] with each color corresponding with their Dying Will Flame. Their pacifiers will glow when a member nears another Arcobaleno.[50] They were all transformed from adults into their current forms,[51] having sacrificed themselves in order to protect the ultimate power "7³" (Tri-Ni-Sette). Each of them gained their own "curse" and specific abilities, and are able to emit the Dying Will Flame throughout their entire body.[52]Colonnello, the holder of the Blue pacifier, is revealed to have not been part of the original seven, and had instead taken Lal Mirch's place during the day they were transformed.[51] In volume seven, the holder of the Green pacifier, Verde (ヴェルデ Verude), tries to get Tsuna assassinated, but his henchmen fail to do so.[53] He is also known to be one of the developers of the special boxes.[54] The holder of the Orange pacifier was Uni's grandmother, Luce (ルーチェ Rūche), who then passed it on to Aria, Uni's mother, and the holder of the Red pacifier is I-Pin's master, Fon (風 Fong). They all died in the future, but are revived thanks to Uni's sacrifice.
Reborn
Reborn (リボーン Ribōn) is the holder of the Yellow pacifier of the Sun. The titular character, Reborn is an infant hitman belonging to the Vongola Family. As the Vongola IX's most trusted member, he becomes Tsuna's home tutor and trains him into becoming a Mafia boss.[8] Since he is an official Vongola member and is only there to train Tsuna, he is not allowed to directly interfere with most of Tsuna's battles,[55] though he is allowed to defend against attacks directed solely at him.[56] His "partner" is a shape-shifting chameleon named Leon (レオン Reon), who usually sits on Reborn's fedora. The bullets used by Reborn are created inside Leon. When Reborn's student is gradually progressing, Leon's tail falls off, his shape-shifting abilities become unstable, and he is no longer able to create bullets.[57] After Leon creates special items for the student, he returns to normal.[58]No matter how strong the emotion, Reborn always keeps a straight face and handles many situations as calmly as possible.[59] Reborn often says "Ciaossu" (a mix of the Italian "ciao" and the Japanese "ossu", which is a casual male greeting). He randomly appears dressed as "another person" who no one except Tsuna recognizes, and seems to see nothing unusual in any of his own behavior.[60][61]
In the future, Reborn is mentioned to be dead, and in order to avoid the Negative Seven Rays which Byakuran unleashed in the atmosphere in order to slowly kill the Arcobaleno,[51] the past's Reborn remains in Tsuna's underground base and wears a special suit.[62] He is normally voiced by Neeko in the anime but in his short appearances as an adult, Ken Narita voices him.[63][64]
Colonnello
Colonnello (コロネロ Koronero) is the holder of the Blue pacifier of the Rain. Though he is not part of the original seven Arcobaleno, he attained the blue pacifier after attempting to take Lal's place on the day that they were all turned into babies.[52] He is in charge of the training ground behind Mafia Land and was a former member of the COMSUBIN, thus he is not averse to using heavy artillery, using an anti-tank rifle as his primary weapon. His animal partner is a hawk that usually rests atop his head and it can help him fly to distant places. Colonnello also acts like a rival towards Reborn and vice-versa, but despite this, he shares many traits with Reborn, like being a merciless tutor, suddenly taking naps, and having a sharp tongue.[49][50] He trains Ryohei in preparation for the Vongola Tournament, and in the future, he is said to have died trying to protect Viper.[51] He is voiced by Daisuke Nakamura in the anime.[65]Skull
Skull (スカル Skaru) is the holder of the Purple pacifier of the Cloud. Head of the combat forces of the Calcassa Family, Skull wears a full leather outfit and a motorcycle helmet, which is copied by all his subordinates. His pet is a giant armored octopus whose tentacles follow his hand and finger movements. He is implied to be not as powerful of an infant as Reborn and Colonnello, whom he calls his senpais, and is looked down upon and ridiculed by the two. Reborn considers Skull as always being someone's errand boy and Skull, to his dismay, does not deny the fact that the only person he was an errand boy to was Reborn.[49] He is said to have died in the future. He is voiced by Tetsuya Yanagihara in the anime.[66]Viper
Viper (バイパー Baipā) is the holder of the Indigo pacifier of the Mist. He is a member of the elite assassination team, the Varia, under the name Mammon (マーモン Māmon). Known as the Arcobaleno's best spellcaster,[25] Viper has the ability to cast illusions, as well as being able to locate any person by sneezing into a piece of paper (he carries a roll of paper with him); the spit or mucus that sticks to the paper shows a map leading to the desired person.[15] He also has a black frog named Fantasma that lies on top of his head. By turning into a yellow salamander and biting its tail (Similar to the oroborus a symbol of alchemy and magic), which forms into a "halo" above him, Fantasma can give Mammon the ability to fly in combat.[67] He claims to have been trying to break the Arcobaleno curse, and had sealed his pacifier so that other Arcobaleno cannot sense him.[25] He has also created a chain that conceals the power of the Arcobaleno pacifiers, as well as the Ring Flames . During the Vongola Tournament, he defeats Chrome,[25] however, he is defeated by Mukuro once the latter takes possession of Chrome's body.[27] He is said to be dead in the future, with Ginger Bread claiming that he took his own life after feeling there was no other way out.[68] He is voiced by Rumi Shishido in the anime.[69]Lal Mirch
Lal Mirch (ラル・ミルチ Raru Miruchi) is the holder of a corrupted pacifier. She is a female member of the Arcobaleno who states that she cannot live up to the Arcobaleno name, considering herself to be one of its weakest members.[70] This is due to her curse being incomplete after Colonnello, her former subordinate in the COMSUBIN,[71] attempted to take her place. Her incomplete transformation clouded her pacifier, and caused her original rain energy to change into both the mist and cloud energies, as well as causing the scars on her face. Also, if she does not use her Arcobaleno powers, her curse would gradually disappear, which is why she eventually becomes an adult again.[51] However, upon using her Arcobaleno powers in the future, her pacifier glows blue, and she states that her pacifier was supposed to be the blue pacifier that Colonnello attained.[52] She is also part of the Vongola's CEDEF, or Outside Advisors.[72] According to Reborn, she shows her emotions easily and is very readable.[47] She is voiced by Masami Suzuki in the anime.[73]CEDEF
Members of the Consulenza Esterna Della Famiglia (Italian for "External Advisors of the Family") are unofficial members of the Vongola Family. They hold a very important position in the family's structure, in that, during times of crisis, the CEDEF leader becomes the family's second-in-command. They also have as much voting power as the Vongola boss when choosing the family's next boss, and if the two disagree on who the heir will be, the CEDEF leader has the power to split the Vongola Rings.[43]Iemitsu Sawada
Iemitsu Sawada (沢田 家光 Sawada Iemitsu) is Tsuna's often absent father, who has supposedly been working abroad at oil fields for the past two years.[74] Tsuna believes him to be a loser father who has nothing to do with the Mafia, but Iemitsu is actually the "Outside Advisor", which is the second highest position in the Vongola Family, and is known as the Vongola's "Young Lion". After the fake Vongola IX chose Xanxus as his successor, Iemitsu, who wants Tsuna to become the next boss, protested and refused to give Xanxus the Vongola Rings, traveling around the world while he waited for the IX's reply. He returns to Japan with the real halves of the Vongola Rings, as well as a message from the IX sanctioning the Vongola Tournament.[43] He secretly watches over the training of Tsuna and his family,[75] and during the tournament, Iemitsu goes to Italy with his subordinates, and finds out that the IX that has been giving orders was a fake.[76] Iemitsu usually carries a pickaxe.

He possesses the blue, rain attribute flame, and has the ability to go into Dying Will Mode when he consumes special pills made by Iemitsu.[78] Due to being strictly trained since early childhood, he is a very talented fighter. Unbeknownst to Basil, in order for Iemitsu to safely deliver the real halves of the Vongola rings to Japan, he was sent to deliver the fake Vongola Rings to Tsuna. During this, he encounters Superbi Squalo, and is subsequently beat. Despite being used as a decoy, he remains extremely loyal to Iemitsu,[79] and helps train Tsuna in order to help the latter control the Dying Will Flame.[78] The CEDEF later sends him into the future as support for the Vongola, and his box weapon is shown to release a dolphin, which he can telepathically communicate with. Basil also has a habit of speaking in an archaic manner; usually replacing 'I', 'me', and 'my', with 'thou', 'thee', and 'thy', and refers to Tsuna and the guardians with the suffix '-dono'. This unusual habit sometimes interferes in his way of modern speech. He is voiced by Yuka Terasaki in the anime.[80]Cervello

When she takes the Dying Will Shot, her form is more quiet and polite.[85] Though she is not fully aware of how much Tsuna likes her, she thinks of him as a good friend.

Before, she was in love in her ex-boyfriend named Romeo, who looks very similar to Adult Lambo. Whenever Adult Lambo appears, Bianchi uses her Poison Cooking to destroy him therefore mistaking him for Romeo.

Dr. Shamal (Dr. シャマル Dr. Shamaru) is a crazed womanizer who hits on every cute woman he sees, though often unsuccessfully. He is said to be hiding in Japan after being charged in his own country for putting the moves on 2082 women simultaneously, one of which being a queen. He is both a skilled doctor, albeit one that refuses to treat men, and a renowned assassin known as "Trident Shamal" who was even asked to join the Varia. His primary means of combat stem from the 666 pills he carries that contain trident mosquitoes, his own breed of genetically-altered mosquitoes named for their trident-shaped stingers that infect his enemies with deadly diseases. He claims to be infected with 666 diseases that have no effect on him due to the negating effects of each disease; if he has a disease that rapidly decreases body temperature, then he has another one that increases it, and so on.[102] Shamal also happens to be the one that introduced Hayato Gokudera to bombs when he used to work for Gokudera's family. He agrees to become Gokudera's home tutor during the Vongola Tournament, but only after Gokudera learns that protecting his own life is just as important as defending those around him.[78] He is voiced by Toshinobu Katsuya in the anime.[103]I-Pin

Her most destructive ability is the "Pinzu-Time Bomb", activated whenever I-Pin expresses extreme shyness. Pin-numbers (such as those used in mahjong) appear on her forehead, counting down until it turns her into a human bomb that can create a small crater with its destruction.[105] Due to her near-sightedness, she sees Lambo as the broccoli monster, and often beats him up.[106] She also has a crush on Kyoya Hibari, who bears a striking resemblance to her master, and often activates her Pinzu-Timed Super Explosion after seeing him.[107] She is voiced by Li-Mei Chiang in the anime.[103]Dino
Dino (ディーノ Dīno) is the 22-year-old tenth generation boss of the Chiavarone Family (キャバッロネファミリー Kyabarrone Famirī) which is part of the Vongola Family alliance.[108] Dino is a young man with great skills as a fighter and a leader. Reborn's chameleon Leon created his main weapons, a whip and Enzo,[58] which is a turtle which grows in size and rampages when soaked in water. Like Tsuna, Dino, at first, was a klutz who did not want anything to do with the Mafia, but he became a suitable Mafia boss after Reborn became his home tutor. He came to be known as "Bucking-Horse Dino" (跳ね馬ディーノ Haneuma Dīno) ("Bronco Dino" in Viz's translation) and fixed the Chiavorone's financial problems, turning them into the third most influential family. Dino, however, is so devoted to his family, that when none of his family members are around, his skills decrease dramatically, often accidentally hitting people with his whip and falling down the stairs.[108] Dino becomes Hibari's home tutor before the Vongola Tournament, and travels with him around the country in order to train him.[109] In the future, he advises Tsuna and the others on how to control their box weapons, and is shown to release a horse from his own box.

He has an extremely wide range of knowledge on thousands of people and is considered to be a valuable informant for the Mafia, sometimes being paid insane amounts of money for a copy of certain rankings, but due to this, he is often chased by the Mafia. When he ranks people, gravity around him becomes distorted, making objects around him float, and images of stars and galaxies appear in his eyes. It is unknown how he actually gathers his information, some rumours say he talks to a ranking planet, and his rankings do become skewed when it rains.[112] He also has to be looking at the person to determine their rankings. He calls Tsuna his big brother, and starts living in his house.[113]
In the future, after gathering information with Bianchi, Futa, who now carries a suitcase rather than a book, returns to Japan with crucial information about the Millefiore Family.[84] Futa also reveals that he was Lambo's guardian until three years before Tsuna's arrival in the future, and prefers that Lambo not be endangered.[114] He is voiced by Yuko Sanpei in the anime.[115] Longchamp Naito

Longchamp is known to have a unique taste in women, and is shown with a different one each time.[61][116] He also has a weird habit of collecting unusual objects, including dead batteries and condiment packets, and his bedroom is covered with junk as a result of his hoarding habits.[117] His family is the creator of the Sorry Bullet (嘆き弾 Nageki Dan), which, when shot with and revived, will cause a person to grieve about all the terrible things that have happened in their life, making others feel sorry for them.[61]
