About Kuzan
Kuzan, better known by his alias Aokiji, is one of the Ten Titanic Captains of the Blackbeard Pirates, serving as the captain of the tenth ship of the fleet. Before joining Blackbeard's crew, he served as a Marine Admiral, having been taught by Monkey D. Garp. He was nominated by Sengoku for the position of Fleet Admiral; however, after fighting Sakazuki for the position and losing, Kuzan resigned from the Marines.
Kuzan was the antagonist of the second part of the Long Ring Long Land Arc; in the anime, he is instead one of the main antagonists of the Foxy's Return Arc. He is later a secondary antagonist of the Marineford Arc, a minor antagonist in the Egghead Arc, and a major antagonist in the Final Saga.
Kuzan is an incredibly tall, slim, yet muscular man. At 298 cm tall, he is just slightly shorter than the other two Admirals pre-timeskip and he is the shortest of the Blackbeard Titanic Captains. He has black, curly hair cut to chin length that fans out at the tips, tanned skin, and an altogether lean, long build.
His standard outfit while in the Marines consists of a white buttoned-up vest with a standing collar over a long-sleeved navy-blue shirt, with matching white trousers and black dress shoes. This is all rarely accompanied by a matching white suit jacket. He also wears a yellow tie divided geometrically by black lines and a sleep mask on his forehead. During his preparations for the war against Whitebeard, Kuzan had a white Marine Admiral's coat (golden epaulettes and, for him being the ice user, blue cuffs) draped over him like a cape, as did the other Admirals. He was also seen wearing a green and purple sleep mask at all times two years ago from the present timeline. In contrast to Borsalino and Sakazuki, Kuzan is far younger than his colleagues, being less than fifty years old. His looks, combined with his manner, make him appear even younger than he actually is.
