Kuro is an extremely intelligent man (holding the second highest IQ in East Blue, behind only Benn Beckman), whose plans have never failed in the past. He is a master strategist and an accomplished fighter, but he was severely hampered by the fact that he simply did not have the patience to deal with a pirate's life on the run from the Marines. He also seems to like the glasses he wears very much, even though they tend to slip down his nose every so often. He pushes them up with his palms. 6’9.
