Dr. Kyukyu
CharacterDr. Kyukyu is a physician based in Water 7. He is best remembered for tending to Iceburg after the mayor was gunned down during an assassination attempt linked to CP9, calmly assessing the serious wound and treating it.
Appearance
Age has thinned his hair across part of the scalp, though what remains, along with his mustache, stays thick and full. Distinctive markings define his face: his nose glows red and a medical cross sits on his brow. For clothing he keeps things plain, going with a shirt that bares the arms and a pair of dark trousers.
Personality
Little has been documented about his temperament, yet what shows through reads as direct and quietly spoken. He assessed Iceburg's injury without any visible alarm. He also carries a clear devotion to the progress of medicine, giving over his later years to schooling the doctors who will come after him.
History
His command of medicine runs deep, which let him handle the grave injuries Iceburg suffered. The mayor had been shot during Robin's bid to kill him, and it fell to Kyukyu to examine and treat the patient afterward. His Japanese name, fittingly, translates to first aid.
