Ivan Braginski is a main character in the series Axis Powers Hetalia. He is the representation of Russia (ロシア,Rochia).

Appearance

Ivan wears a long, heavy tan coat, brown pants, and a long tan scarf (colored pink in the anime). He has a round, childish face, and tends to carry around a bottle of vodka or a faucet pipe. His hair is a light, beige-ish blonde and his eyes are violet, though they were initially colored both blue and green in early color artwork by Himaruya.

Due to his thick clothing and his tall, somewhat heavyset appearance in comparison to the other characters, a fan had asked Himaruya if Ivan was fat. The in-character answer from "Ivan" was that he was simply "big-boned". A later black-and-white sketch also depicts Ivan wearing a shirt that claims such.

Personality And Interests

A large young man with the cruelty of a child, he comes off as intimidating without even saying a word. When he is upset, he uses the chant "KolKolKol" to threaten and frighten others into submission. He has been tormented since his childhood, having seen many tragedies and wars.

General Winter haunts and attacks him every year, which has caused him to hate the cold. However, in the face of war, General Winter is his best ally. He dreams one day of living in a warm place with sunflowers.
