In the world of the Apple TV+ show See, Kofun and Haniwa are portrayed as the miraculously sighted twin children of Maghra and Jerlamarel. It is their unique vision that has made them a target of Queen Kane's fury. They are in a futuristic world where the ability to see is dangerous, considered evil, and a forgotten secret.
Therefore, in the show, while they are trying to escape the Queen, they are also key figures in the struggle for humanity's future. Their parents recognise this secret, and the twins are raised among the Alkenny people, forced to conceal their sight to survive. Read on to know the twins' arc in See.
Who are Kofun and Haniwa from See?

In the Apple TV+ show, Kofun and Haniwa are central figures as they are born with functioning eyes in a world that has forgotten sight and considers it evil. As mentioned, they are both the twin children of Maghra and Jerlamarel, adopted and protected by Baba Voss. Haniwa is portrayed as a strong-willed and curious child, fascinated by their true origins and history.
While her brother Kofun doesn't embrace their seeing ability, Haniwa uses the ability to read and learn about new weapons and be better prepared for change. She is determined to expand their community by including other children of Jerlamarel into the Alkenny tribe, which highlights her drive to grow even when against tradition.
Kofun is portrayed as the more cautious one. He is conflicted about their heritage and initially wary of using old world knowledge for warfare purposes. He is raised under protection and hones his fighting abilities training under a blind witchfinder, Toad. Kofun endures an internal struggle with his lineage, and in his final arc, he finally chooses to fight for his people's future.
The Twins’ Arc is a tale of sight, conflict, and legacy in See
The twins' youth is defined by their need to conceal their sight and navigate the challenges of their Alkenny community, which fosters a deep appreciation for human resilience.
Jerlamarel, their father, initially presents himself as a benevolent figure, drawing the kids to the House of Enlightenment. But when they discover his manipulation and wish to harm them, their trust in him shatters. Haniwa is nearly traded as a "brood mare," and Kofun's refusal to support Jerlamarel's vision leads his father to order his death.
In the initial episodes, Baba Voss is seen protecting them, saving Kofun's life and confronting their father, which costs Jerlamarel his sight. The twins are then seen with their mother and Voss on a journey to establish a new, secure home for the sighted people in Paz. Both siblings must hide their seeing capability in their blind community. On their 12th birthday, their adoptive guardian, Paris, gifts them some books left by their father, unlocking a resource of knowledge.
Their journey is marked by betrayal, trials, and the clashes escalate until they choose to fight for their people despite the dangers. They also stand out with the unique knowledge from the books and tribal leadership.
