"Iron Man" Kuramoto Kenzo is a Commodore of the Marines, hailing from the hills and mountains of Wano Country. Not much is known about his motivations, but he has expressed interest in becoming a powerful ruler to achieve a bigger goal, though often seen as no more than delusions of grandeur.
Appearance[]
Kenzo is a tall and slim young male, standing at 210 cm tall. He has raven colored hair, stopping short of his neck, most of it tied up in a bun at the back.. Kenzo has a stray lock of hair that drapes down his face and partially covers the left eye, while he has large earlobes and circular earrings paired with them, and may be seen smiling most of the time, though it is hardly ever genuine. As for his apparel, he wears a white button-up shirt, and a navy blue necktie. Paired with it he wears beige slacks and sneakers. To complete it, he wears the standard issue Marine officer coat, but he has an air of professionalism, wearing it 'correctly', unlike most who wear it draped over their shoulders like a cape for some odd reason, which he finds rather silly.
Personality[]

From a simple glance, Kenzo appears to be a professional, calm and collected man. This is a far cry from his little brother, who is less serious and more laid-back when it comes to things. Kenzo doesn't tolerate impudence or incompetence, and has gone as far to severely 'discipline' (beat down) a Marine recruit simply because their attitude displeased him. A deeper dive shows he's extremely arrogant and haughty, thinking of himself as an emperor, and he's dreamed of becoming a king. However, most believe his attitude is silly, and he had been crowned the epithet "King of Fools" due to this (and the incompetence of the Marine Branch he was saddled with), an epithet that angers him whenever he is referred to by it.
He likes to keep his true intentions hidden, and is quite charismatic and pragmatic, having no sense of honor whatsoever. Unlike other honorable fighters, Kenzo would not wait around if his opponent were unable to fight. He does not care about 'fairness' or anything of the sort, and his attitude can indeed be summed up with the phrase "only a moron would bring a sword to a gunfight." As for his Justice, which all Marines seem to follow or have their own take on, Kenzo believes in a justice that preaches the abolishment and suppression of any kind of evil, even if it means going against top orders, doing what must be done for the greater good of humanity. He thinks this to be the correct way of thinking for all Marines, and
In addition, he also 'believes' that all life is precious, from the bacteria on the floors to all humanoids on the planet. As a Marine he believes it is his job to keep the citizens safe; if the Marines did not live up to their 'advertisement' as the peacekeepers and heroes, then the name of the Marines would simply be sullied. As such, Kenzo's top priority is ensuring the safety of the innocent people around him, showing that he does seem to have a sense of justice that is a tad bit noble. If he had to choose between stopping a pirate or saving civilians, he would choose the latter. Of course, because of this, he has no qualms about killing criminals, if it means the risk of them doing any more harm is eradicated.
As for his interests, Kenzo partakes in the art of cooking, and also bakes pastries and treats as well. It's something he takes pride in, and claims he could one day be the Greatest Cook in the World, similar to how his brother wishes to brew the World's Greatest Sake. He had also studied martial arts extensively, but has yet to show off a demonstration of skill.
