Appearance
Kohaku is a young girl with a delicate face and tied-up blonde hair. When her hair is untied, it is shown to be massive cowlicks. Her clothing consists of a black dress and uniquely shaped stone sandals. Tsukasa remarks her appearance as half American-Japanese, implying that she's the descendant of Lilian and Byakuya.
Personality
Kohaku is a tomboy who excels at fighting, hunting, and general survival skills. She has little interest in more stereotypically feminine activities and little knowledge about them.
She cares deeply about her older sister Ruri and tried to alleviate her chronic illness no matter how physically demanding the task. As she didn't want her sister to be married off to the winner of her village's tournament, she strove to become Ishigami Village's strongest fighter.
She's repeatedly impressed by Senku's scientific creations, even though it takes her a while to accept that he's not simply magic.

Master Hunter
Kohaku was an excellent Master Hunter. She can easily catch boar with ease when Francois, Ryusui's butler is looking for a boar to farm and try to catch it using a trap. She's one of the most reliable people when it comes to hunting. Additionally, her extraordinary eyesight allows her to spot oil fields from an aerial photograph.
