Atsushi Kumamoto

Atsushi Kumamoto (쿠마모토 아츠시) is a Japanese S-Rank Hunter and a member of the Draw Sword Guild.

Appearance

Kumamoto is a young man with long messy black hair and sharp facial features. He wears a white surgical mask and has a white eyepatch covering his left eye.^[1] In his frenzied state, his eyes glow light red.

Personality

Kumamoto is a cowardly individual who tends to lose his composure very easily, even in the situations when he's not actually in danger and has the upper hand. In battle, he prefers to go after the weakest opponent from the start and even then, often attacks them from behind.

History

Jeju Island Arc

Four days before the 4th Jeju Island Raid was slated to take place, Kumamoto met up with the rest of the Jeju Island Raid Party inside the Korean Hunters' Gym. He participated in the 4v4 sparring match between the two teams and initially faced off against Baek Yoonho before changing targets to Cha Hae-In. When he got carried away against her, however, Jinwoo intervened to save her from injury and incapacitated him when he refused to back down.^[2]

During the 4th Jeju Island Raid, Kumamoto was a member of Team Bravo alongside Kanae. He was later seen leaving the island alongside Kanae and Hoshino following the raid's end.

Abilities

As a hunter whose abilities were recognized by Goto Ryuji, Kumamoto was quite strong for a S-Rank and was said to be able to clear B-Rank Gates all by himself.

Enhanced Strength: Kumamoto possesses great physical strength, as displayed by how he was able to easily punch a large hole through the ground of the Korean Hunters' Gym.
Enhanced Speed: Kumamoto can move at great speeds, as shown by how he was able to keep up with Baek's movements during their sparring bout and easily dodge his attacks. He was also shown to be faster than Cha and would have easily landed an attack on her had Jinwoo not intervened and blocked his strike.
Enhanced Durability: Kumamoto possesses great physical durability, as displayed by how he only suffered a small nosebleed after being accidentally punched 14 times in the face by Cha.
Berserker State: Kumamoto has the unique ability to go into a frenzied state whenever he is severely injured, causing him to attack indiscriminately with no sense of fear or self-control. However, it's unclear whether this ability is a passive skill, a mental illness, or some kind of defense mechanism.
