Kumadori (クマドリ, Kumadori) is one of the last members of CP9 revealed, and is recognizable by his large frame, huge mane of pinkish hair, and a right eye that never seems to be open. He seems to honor the samurai honor code very heavily as he comically attempts to take his own life after dishonoring himself. As he accepts the blame for nearly anything, even faults of others, this happens quite often in his appearances. Before he commits seppuku, however, he instinctively uses Tekkai every time, unintentionally saving his own life. He also seems to have strong feelings for his deceased mother, beginning to sob, even while fighting, at the very thought of her. He claims her "divine protection" is the reason for his failed suicide-attempts.

Kumadori is a very loud person, and has the strange habit of yelling something resembling "YOYOI!!" rather often. Most of his mannerisms and his make-up seem to have been inspired in kabuki actors, being even his name is taken from a type of make-up to kabuki. His fighting abilities include Life Return, which gives him control over every cell in his body, even his hair.

Initially, he fights with Nami who is shown to be at a disadvantage. However, Chopper appears and helps Nami to escape, becoming his opponent. Kumadori proves to be stronger than Chopper, who, at the end, is forced to use his forbbiden form "Monster Point" to defeat him.

Trivia
In the Volume 44 SBS, it was revealed that Kumadori had been wearing his kabuki-style makeup since he was a child.
In a recent Weekly Shonen Jump, in a poll to determine the most popular One Piece characters, Kumadori ranked at 97th.
Although Kumadori tries to commit suicide to join his deceased mother in heaven, Oda revealed that Kumadori's mother is still alive, and her name is Yamanbako, which is Japanese for "mountain witch".
