Katekyo Hitman Reborn/Characters/The Vongola Family

Vongola Primo (Giotto)


The first Boss and founder of the Vongola family, Giotto was a benevolent man who accepted people of all kinds regardless of their background. Despite his youth, he turned the Vongola into a major power, before retiring and moving to Japan. Giotto is shown to have possessed the Dying Will flame, and special gloves like Tsuna's. He and Tsuna are identical.


 * Badass Cape: He pioneered it!
 * Benevolent Boss: He started the Family in order to protect those dear to him, and accepted all kinds of people to be his companions.
 * Bishounen
 * Eyes of Gold: His eyes look like Tsuna's when he's in Hyper mode.
 * Hair of Gold
 * Identical Grandson: More like great-great-great-grandson.
 * Loved Ones Montage
 * Older Than They Look: Despite having lived at least long enough to conceive a child, he appears barely older than Tsuna. Also, we don't yet know whether the form he appears in reflects how old he was when he died or not.
 * Well given how young Tsuna's parents (especially his mum) look despite having a teenage son, it's not really all that unbelievable. This is the Reborn-verse.
 * Posthumous Character
 * Passing the Torch: Ironically it's implied that the Secondo wasn't chosen as successor. Tsuna however is approved.
 * Retired Badass

Vongola Secondo (Ricardo)


Second head of the Vongola. Unlike Giotto, he was very violent and ruled through fear. First holder of the Flame of Wrath, which Xanxus also possesses. He and Xanxus look remarkably alike.


 * Bad Boss: He's revealed (from what little we know of him) to be almost identical to Xanxus in personality - which can only mean one thing: he's one hell of a Bad Boss.
 * According to the Ninth, the Vongola started getting more and more violent following his take-over and have been going downhill ever since. He's basically responsible for the Family's fall from grace.
 * Energy Ball
 * Tall, Dark and Handsome

Vongola Terzo
Third head of the Vongola. Wielded a dagger.


 * Knife Nut

Vongola Quarto
Fourth head of the Vongola. He apparently dreamed of being a chef, but was made Boss instead.


 * Chef of Iron
 * Improbable Weapon User: A large fork.

Vongola Quinto
Fifth head of the Vongola. Used a katar.


 * Badass Long Robe
 * Bishounen
 * Facial Markings

Vongola Sesto (Simora)
Sixth head of the Vongola.


 * High-Class Glass
 * Improbable Weapon User: A boomerang?

Vongola Settimo (Fabio)
Seventh head of the Vongola and father of Daniela. Created the Dying Will Gun (also used by Xanxus) because he had a weak flame.


 * Badass Mustache
 * Beam Spam
 * Weak but Skilled

Vongola Ottavo (Daniela)
The only female Vongola leader to date. Wielded a crossbow. Timoteo's mother.

Vongola Nono (Timoteo)


The current Boss, and adoptive father of Xanxus. When Xanxus tries to stage a coup, he freezes him and chooses Tsuna as his successor. Xanxus later kidnapped him and sealed him inside Gola Moska, almost leading to his death at Tsuna's hands. He survived however.


 * Badass Grandpa
 * Benevolent Boss
 * Cool Old Guy
 * Simple Staff

Vongola Decimo (Tsunayoshi)
A description of the character goes here.

Vongola Primo's Guardians
The original members of the first Vongola Family, formed as a vigilante group that existed to protect people. The Guardians were from diverse backgrounds as Vongola Primo took in anyone he liked such a royal, clergy and a part of a rival family.


 * Bishonen: And HOW!
 * Generation Xerox: The Tenth Generation Family greatly resemble the First Generation Vongola Family in appearance and personality-- Some are more apparent than others.
 * Alaude is basically a European Hibari, adding to the list in Hibari look alikes with Fon.
 * Lampo looks a lot more like Future Lambo in the anime. Interesting that he resembles the adult Lambo appearance-wise but is more like kid Lambo in maturity.
 * Daemon Spade has more in common with Mukuro than Chrome, adding more evidence to the speculation of who the real Tenth Generation Mist Guardian is.
 * Partially subverted with Knuckle as his first appearance resembled more like Yamamoto than Ryohei. Apparently, putting a Pointless Band-Aid (in the anime and some manga appearances) solves this.
 * Hair Colors: Aside from D. Spade, it seems the main way to make these Guardians stand out from the current Generation is giving them completely different hair colors. Some even correspond to the types of flames they have.

Vongola Nono's Guardians
Badass-looking group of attractive old (and young) men who serves as Timoteo's guardians. When they appeared half of the fandom rejoiced because finally they have a set of adult bishounen to ogle. The rest were not very excited because their appearance creates another plot hole. (see below)

 * Brow Nie Jr
 * Visconti
 * Ganauche III
 * Bouche Croquant


 * Adults Are Useless:
