Kuzan, also known by his alias "Aokiji" is a very laid-back man, showing no shock or surprise from almost anything. His lack of interest and "Lazy Justice" (as he describes his motto himself) often lead others to believe he cannot possibly be a marine of such a high ranking, which causes them to underestimate him, making him all the more dangerous. He has a recurring phrase, "Ara ara", meaning "Oh my", which is frequently used when something surprises him.
