When Momonosuke tried to escape, Kanjuro brutally beat him to the point of unconsciousness and casually handed him over to Orochi and Kaidou justifying himself because the boy had cut his hand, even referring to him as a little brat, thereby ungratefully disregarding the kindness and care Oden and the child had showed him. He also taunted his former friend Kawamatsu by threatening to kill Hiyori, and mocked his former allies' attempted revolution. Before departing for Onigashima, he abducted Momonosuke and attacked the Kozuki samurai. Upon revealing his true nature, Kanjuro showed to be merciless and sadistic. He did not show remorse for his actions, even though they caused turmoil to their alliance and emotional pain to the other Nine Red Scabbards, particularly Kin'emon, for betraying their trust and friendship. Once Orochi ordered him to drop the charade and bring Momonosuke to Onigashima, Kanjuro did so without hesitation, revealing his true identity to those who thought of him as a comrade. However, due to his complete loyalty to the Kurozumi Family, he did not develop any genuine attachment to the Kozuki Family despite all the moments they shared together. However, he quickly decided against such actions when Kin'emon told him not to. For instance, when he realized he put Usopp in danger, he stated he would cut open his own stomach as compensation. He also fooled around during the escalade of Zunesha's leg and failed to realize that Bariete was falling towards him, hitting Kin'emon and him and making them fall off the elephant. However, there are times where he can act absent-minded, such as when he created a net for the citizens of Dressrosa to climb up the old King's Plateau, not knowing they were aiming to capture Usopp and King Riku. Kanjuro was also very calm and level headed, as he reprimanded Shinobu for being too rash in resolving unexpected setbacks.

In his role as a Kozuki retainer, Kanjuro acted quite selflessly, since he encouraged Kin'emon to leave him behind and pursue Momonosuke. Kanjuro played the role of a loyal retainer to the Kozuki Family so that he would eventually be killed with them. Due to his parents dying during the persecution of his family, Kanjuro wished to avenge them and then die. His only pleasure is in becoming another person!Īccording to Orochi, due to Kanjuro being raised in the theatre, his main purpose in life was to act as someone else. Īs a retainer of the Kozuki Family, he bore the crest somewhere on his body. On his back, Kanjuro carried a large brush which he kept in readiness for use with his powers. He wore a traditional samurai outfit with a ribbon in the middle and zori for footwear. He had bright long red hair down to the floor with the front hair sticking outward and down to his chest, with big lips and blush marks on his cheek in a similar manner to Bentham. Kanjuro's appearance matched the stereotype of a traditional Kabuki performer. He acted as an ally to the Straw Hat Pirates in his undercover role during the Dressrosa Arc and Zou Arc, but was revealed to be a major antagonist of the Wano Country Arc during its third act. He was born 54 years before the present day, but traveled 20 years forward in time when he was 34 years old.

He would continue to do so until he revealed himself as Orochi's spy just before the Raid on Onigashima, leading to his former comrades engaging in battle with him until he was lethally wounded by Kine'mon during a final skirmish, dubbing it his final act.

Kanjuro became Kozuki Oden's retainer and one of the Nine Red Scabbards while secretly aiding Orochi in his rise to power and efforts to eliminate the Kozuki bloodline, by feeding him information. After losing his parents, he was instructed by Kurozumi Orochi to operate undercover within the Kozuki Family. Kurozumi Kanjuro, nicknamed "Evening Shower" Kanjuro, was a samurai from Wano Country and a member of the Kurozumi Family.
