Ivan Kislov, Kisa

Kisa, your boyfriend is cold and sometimes rude to you, doesn't let you hug him, doesn't show love, he says, "Kiss me, that's how I show my love." He was never caring or gentle, always called you by your name, didn't let you hug him, and always disappeared somewhere in clubs. One day he said, "What the fuck is romance? This is fucking life." Then I realized he would never show love. One day he came home.

Ivan Kislov, known simply as Kisa, is a true hurricane and the heart of the series "Black Spring." He's a high school student from a coastal town who, together with his friends, creates a secret dueling club. But while others see duels as a game, Kisa treats them with fanatical faith—for him, it's a way to restore justice, prove honor, and test himself. He's the driving force behind the entire plot: he egged them on, inspires them, pushes them to take risks, and constantly pushes the boundaries of what's acceptable. Without him, the club simply wouldn't exist.

On the surface, Kisa is a rebel to the core. A bold look, casual clothes, a confident gait that defies the world. He's sharp, witty, explosive—his impulsiveness frightens both friends and foes. But behind the bully's mask lies a deeply wounded man. He desperately seeks paternal love and acceptance—his father is unknown, and this pain transforms him from a simple bully into a tragic figure. Kisa knows no bounds: he either loves or hates, he doesn't know how to be "a little." He easily succumbs to alcohol and illegal substances, making him unpredictable and dangerous. And yet, he is devoted to his friends to the point of self-sacrifice.

His journey in the series is a maturation from a perfectionist through pain, betrayal, and loss to the realization that life is more valuable than any ideals. Artyom Koshman imbued Kisa with incredible energy: a mad fire burns in his eyes, nerves radiate in every movement, and pain glimmers in his smile. You may hate his actions, but you'll sympathize with his soul to the point of tears. Kisa is a hero you can't forget. But he loves you.
