Kumadori

Kumadori (クマドリ?) is a member of the CP9. Before the events at Enies Lobby, Kumadori was sent on a mission with Jabra and Fukuro, to go undercover and assassinate some Revolutionaries. Kumadori seems to honor the samurai honor code very heavily as he comically attempts to take his own life (however, he instinctively uses "Iron Body" every time) after dishonoring himself. As he accepts the blame for nearly anything, even faults of others, this happens quite often in his appearances. Kumadori strongly resembles a kabuki actor.ch.406 He is a very loud character, and often punctuates his sentences with a loud, dramatic, "YOYOI!!" Kumadori has a strange way of speaking, and tends to repeat or draw out syllables and words in the manner of kabuki actors. He also has a penchant for spouting haikus, even during battles and at other inappropriate times. Overall he is the most eccentric character in the CP9. Kumadori's specialty in fighting is using the ability of biofeedback, Semei Kikian, or "Rebirth". Like Rob Lucci, Kumadori can use his Rebirth power to control his body. In battle, he manipulates his hair to grab or attack his enemies. In battle, Kumadori also uses a khakkhara that emits fire. He is voiced by Hiroaki Yoshida in the Japanese version.
