Dr. Kasuminome
Dr. Kasuminome (霞の目博士, Kasuminome-hakase, Pr. Hazyeye in the English translation) is the main antagonist of Baoh: The Visitor.
He is an unscrupulous scientist who, after letting Ikuro Hashizawa, tries to assassinate the boy before he grows too powerful.
Appearance
Kasuminome is a mature man with a medium constitution. He has a long head and a wrinkled face and puffy eyes. He is bald but has a moustache. He wears large round speckles.
His attire depends on the situation. In his first appearance, he wears a suit. When he goes to a temple above a secret Dress facility, he wears a dark kimono. He is also seen with a lab coat.
Personality
Kasuminome is an unscrupulous weapons developer for Dress.
Kasuminome is a brilliant yet ruthless scientist. He has developed powerful biological weapons through cruel experimentations on animals, something he never shows regret for. He even used Ikuro Hashizawa as a guinea pig and ordered that his parents be killed so that no one would seek him. The weapon "Baoh" is so powerful even he fears about it running amok and deploys many men to kill Ikuro before he becomes uncontrollable. When Dordo disobeys orders and tries to assassinate Ikuro on his own, Kasuminome has him killed by Walken. To catch Baoh, Kasuminome readily tortures Sumire and sacrifices his own men.
Despite his fear of Baoh, Kasuminome shows a degree of admiration for Baoh's sheer might.
Otherwise, Kasuminome is a cold and professional man, who is never seen doing anything but his job. When he's forced to trigger the self-destruction sequence of his laboratory, he does warn all present personnel to flee.
