Kalim (Shaman King)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kalim (カリウム Karimu?) is a character from the manga and anime Shaman King. He is a Patch tribe member and one of Silva's friends who is an organizer for the Shaman Fight. He qualified Horohoro to be a part of the Shaman Fight. He shares an apartment with Silva during the tournament in Tokyo, where the two constantly bicker over the heat (due to the fact that they cannot afford an air conditioner and the summer is so warm and humid). Like Silva, Kalim sells handcrafted Patch goods to make somewhat of a living while in Tokyo. Throughout the anime, Kalim is usually seen with Silva, providing a voice of reason to somewhat quell Silva's desire to interfere in the Shaman tournament.
[edit] Trivia
Kari (加里 or カリ), or Kariumu (カリウム) means potassium in Japanese (derived from the German language Kalium), furthering the trend of Patch priests being named after metals.
