Kenzou est un vieux détenu à la Prison de Green Dolphin Street, étant un ancien gourou d'une secte. Pucci l'envoie assassiner Jolyne Cujoh dans le quartier disciplinaire de la prison. Il va en fait se battre contre Foo Fighters quand elle vient sauver Jolyne. Kenzou est un manieur de Stand et possède Dragon's Dream.

Personnalité

Kenzou est un artiste martial chevronné et un assassin cruel

Kenzou est un artiste martial confiant et un assassin avec des délires de grandeur.

Kenzou est un assassin et un artiste martial qui est plein de confiance en lui. Sa biographie note qu'il a une certaine connaissance du kung-fu, du taichi et des cérémonies de thé.[1] Sa grande expérience de combattant et son pouvoir de "feng-shui" donnent à Kenzou la capacité d'éviter les attaques et trouver les points faibles d'un adversaire sans grand effort et donc une confiance absolue en lui. Il se comporte généralement comme un maître d'arts martiaux placide et confiant, mais aussi un assassin sans merci qui tue ses cibles sans hésitation. Kenzou est calme au combat et ne le perd que rarement. Mais lorsqu'il combat Foo Fighters qui se révèle plus coriace, Kenzou maintient une confiance sans faille en sa victime. En voyant le pouvoir de Jolyne, il décrit qu'il le trouve intéressant car "difficile à lire", ce qui sous-entend qu'il aurait bien voulu relever le défi de la combattre.[2]

Kenzou et Dragon's Dream

Bien qu'il soit placide en surface, Kenzou cache des délireurs de grandeur. Il y a 40 ans, Kenzou avait fondé sa propre secte de fanatique et avait ordonné un suicide en masse lorsque la police est venue pour l'arrêter.[3] Même actuellement durant l'histoire, Kenzou chérit ses souvenirs de son "heure de gloire" et projette de redevenir le chef d'une nouvelle secte. Il veut ainsi exhiber ses pouvoirs feng-shui et être adoré en tant que sauveur par les autres détenus.[4] Il devient extrêmement exalté et se compare même au Boudha.[5]

Sur une note plus humoristique, Kenzou se dispute souvent avec son Stand Dragon's Dream, étant agacé par son indépendance et son habitude de révéler les mécanismes de son pouvoirs au nom de la "neutrailité".[6] Kenzou se plaint alors que Dragon's Dream interfère avec son travail.

Kenzou dit que le secret de sa longévité est la "thérapie urinaire" (c'est à dire boire sa propre urine) chaque matin.[7]

Pouvoirs

Stand

Main article: Dragon's Dream

Dragon's Dream manipulates the concept of Feng-Shui to show the luckiest angles, and is used by Kenzou to strike from odd angles for maximum lethality. It is remarkable in being neutral in a fight and equally usable by Kenzou's foes.

Assassination Feng Shui

Kenzou high kicking F.F.

Kenzou is a master martial artist and thus a superlative hand-to-hand fighter. In combination with his Stand power and Survivor, Kenzou is able to challenge a Stand like Foo Fighters in close-quarters combat.

Kenzou has knowledge in kung-fu and tai-chi[8] and has decades of experience in practicing martial arts. Kenzou's footwork is at an expert level, as while he can read the lucky locations on the battlefield, it is his footwork that allows him to constantly go to these lucky positions and evade Foo Fighters' shots, even at short range. His agility is such that he needs minimal movement to avoid F.F.'s bullets. Despite his age, Kenzou is surprisingly agile and can perform acrobatics and leap great distances on a regular basis without tiring. This allows him to easily touch Dragon's Dream.

He's also a formidable hand-to-hand fighter. For instance, when F.F. attempts a knifehand strike, Kenzou identifies the blow immediately and counters it with his arm before effortlessly transitioning into a nearly fatal strike to the mouth.[9] Kenzou has a special technique: by plunging his hand in the opponent's mouth, he can damage the 4th cervical spine and affect the adrenal glands, causing an excessive release of mucus in the respiratory system. In practice, it means that he can drown his opponents in their own mucus in one good strike.[10]

Histoire

Passé

Kenzou and his cult

In his youth, Kenzou was the leader of a very popular cult that included Hollywood stars and other famous people, reaching 30,000 members. However, his sect was soon investigated by the police and FBI. Subsequently, Kenzou and thirty four members of his cult attempted a mass suicide. Kenzou drugged everyone and put fire to the building, burning everyone. However, Kenzou collapsed in a surprisingly safe spot where the collapse of the walls shielded him from the flames and the smoke and barely survived. He subsequently received a total 280 year-sentence in Green Dolphin Street Prison for this crime, and endeavored to climb back up to the upper echelons of society where he could relive his former glory.[1]

About forty years after his admittance at Green Dolphin Street, Kenzou's assassination talents are called for.

Stone Ocean

Kenzou is sent to the Ultra Security House Unit alongside D an G, Viviano Westwood and Guccio to assassinate Jolyne Cujoh. After Westwood loses control and frees all the inmates, Kenzou makes short work of most of the inmates and drowns them. He confronts a battered Jolyne but detects Foo Fighters and attacks it first by kicking the corpse is is hiding it. F.F. comes out and shoots Kenzou, but the corpse's leg twitches, protecting the old man.

Kenzou fights F.F.

Kenzou and Foo Fighters properly engage each other. He summons Dragon's Dream and reads the lucky spot. Thanks to that, he avoids F.F.'s shots and drives his fist inside of its throat, using a specific technique to trigger a secretion of mucus from the adrenal gland that is supposed to make his targets drown by themselves. He then turns to face Jolyne but F.F. surprisingly pierces its own throat and shoots again. Kenzou barely manages to be avoid the attack and kicks F.F. but it simply squeezes between the bars of a handrail to escape. Seeing inside of F.F., Kenzou is intrigued by the unique flow in its body but remains confident as it retains the same weak points as a human.

He reads the lucky spot again and summons Dragon's Dream, who is seen by F.F. and irritatingly explains to F.F. the ins and outs of its ability for the sake of a fair fight. After an exchange of blows, Kenzou reaches Dragon's Dream and his arm connects with F.F.'s unlucky spot. Although F.F. blocks the fist by dislocating its elbow, a series of events causes pieces of glass to pierce F.F.'s face. It opens its mouth in shock, allowing Kenzou to attack although F.F. backs off to avoid the attack. Dragon's Dream points to another unlucky spot above F.F.'s left ear. Kenzou rushes towards F.F., who attempts a kick but Kenzou then grabs the leg. When F.F. attempts a knifehand strike, Kenzou makes a straight spearhand strike at F.F.'s throat and jams his other hand in F.F.'s throat. In retaliation, F.F. bites Kenzou's fingers. In pain, the old man strikes F.F.'s liver and pushes it towards Dragon's Dream. F.F.'s arm enters the dragon and punches a corpse, which causes another unlucky series of events that make a piece of machinery slice through F.F.'s head. F.F. is now dangerously low on water.

Kenzou kicks F.F. into the electric chair

F.F. shoots Kenzou, who is barely out of his safe spot and manages to hurt him. However, the attack is not enough. F.F. thus plans to trick Kenzou into misreading Dragon's Dream with a mirror made of water but desperately needs it to sustain itself. Kenzou begins to rant about the hell his life has been since his arrest and orders Dragon's Dream to show him the way to make his final attack. F.F. runs towards the fire extinguishing hose the guards used, pursued by Kenzou. F.F. searches for the faucet, only for Dragon's Dream to appear and warn F.F. not to touch it as Kenzou attacks. F.F. decides to intentionally put its arms in Dragon's Dream while Kenzou performs a sweeping kick on its head.

Diver Down turns Kenzou's legs into springs

F.F. manages to sneak into the hose and break the faucet open, but its earlier prevents it from touching the water since its arms attack it. F.F. is thrown down to the execution room and the hose activates the execution sequence on the electric chair there. By pure unluck, F.F. finds itself unable to get away from the chair. Kenzou arrives and F.F. narrowly misses him with its shot again, but this time, F.F.'s shots break Kenzou's jewelry and it steps on two pearls that make it trip and fall back onto the electric chair. Desperate, F.F. attempts to kick Kenzou but the old man blocks the attack and kicks F.F. in place as the electric chair starts up.

F.F. is being electrocuted but Dragon's Dream reveals that it was able to collect the sweat from Kenzou after his effort. Kenzou realizes he's in an unsafe spot and is grabbed by F.F., who share the electrocution with the old man. Kenzou barely survives it and Jolyne approaches to finish him off despite her own injuries. However, Kenzou manages to avoid the attack and himself stands up to kill Jolyne. He tries to jam his foot in Jolyne's throat but Narciso Anasui intervenes. With Diver Down, Anasui turns Kenzou's legs into springs, preventing him from reaching his lucky spots again. Unable to stop bouncing around, Kenzou lands in a bucket and is defeated for good.
