Character Histories: Jinnosuke/"Kuma"

Voiced by: Yuri Lowenthal

A swordsman who wears a cybernetic teddy bear mask, the same design as Otsuru's teddy bear from their time as children in their dojo, earning him the nickname "Kuma" which means "Bear" in Japanese. He wears black keikogi and hakama, and his geta sandals have toe straps made of metal instead of cloth. Jinnosuke possesses great skill in wielding twin blades and is an old friend of Afro from his days at the dojo.
Back then Jinno thought of Afro as a brother, but when Afro killed their master for the Number Two headband, Jinno vowed vengeance against him. His remaining eye constantly weeps, and under his robotic eye there appears to be a scar in the same position, due to the injuries (emotional, and possibly physical) he suffered at the Midnight Battle
Under the Bodhi Tree; he tells Afro that his tears have never stopped falling since that day. Jinno was rebuilt with cybernetic body modifications by the Empty Seven to "create a samurai of incredible power." Afro defeats him by destroying his life-support system, but it seems Kuma was again able to cheat death. He returns to challenge Afro years after the death of Justice, this time his body completely modified, appearing more android than human and virtually mummified in the other headbands from Justice's lair.
At their second meeting, Jinno has also regained his teddy bear mask with the Number Two headband over the missing right eye; a mirror image of when Afro was recovering in the Sword Master's Dojo as a boy with his bandages mirroring Jinno's current bandages. Jinno appears in season 2 with a motorcycle.
