Gender: Male
Hermes is a talking motorrad who travels with Kino to various countries and lands.
Hermes was found broken in an alley by the original Kino during his stay in the Land of Adults. The original Kino and the then eleven-year-old child fixed him, although at the time Hermes could not talk to them. The original Kino decided to give him the name Hermes, after their previous motorrad.
Hermes is often pessimistically realist, unbiased, and usually comes across as the comic relief character. He has a tendency to complain, which sometimes annoys Kino.
