Grip is a male assassin from Denmark in the series Assassination Classroom. He is known for his semi-long wavy hair and has an amazing grip strength that lets him crack windows with his bare hands. He only uses his hands when working and is seen as a specialist in hand-to-hand combat. Grip has a funny way of talking, ending his sentences with "nu" because he thinks it sounds like a samurai, which makes his speech sound weird. Karma Akabane gives him the nickname "Ojisannu" (Old Man Nu). Grip runs into Karma a few times during the story and gets tricked by him, especially with pranks involving spicy food. Because of this, he needs strong flavors and spicy things in his life to feel normal, and he always carries spicy paste with him. Even though Grip is a skilled assassin, he learns to respect his rivals and shows kindness at times.
