Description
Kino's Journey follows Kino around the world with a talking motorcycle named Hermes. "So, who's the kid?" "My name is..." hesitated for a moment, turning slightly to look back along the road they were traveling. Beyond the red horizon, her homeland's gates sank into the distance, never to be seen again. Facing forward once more, looked past Kino's side to focus intently on the path ahead before answering. "My name is-" Kino travels with the trusty talking motorrad, Hermes. The duo are always together, with Hermes providing speed, and Kino providing balance. They stay in each country for no more than three days, as a rule-enough time to learn about each destination's unique customs and people. And so Kino and Hermes journey ever onward...
