Semashi presents as a grown man whose short black hair carries a single red stripe down the left side. His skin is tanned, and he keeps to a plain black shirt.

Personality

His character is barely sketched out, though the evidence points to a more downcast temperament than the cheerful figure he was inverted from. Where his counterpart produced an upbeat anthem, Semashi instead authored a somber piece titled SORRRRRY..., which hints at his melancholic streak.

Abilities

Semashi is a genuinely capable musician. Nami singled out his command of deep, low notes as a particular strength. His signature composition, SORRRRRY..., stands as a mirror image to the song UUUUUS!. That same booming low register proved hazardous when he performed it, since the vibrations rattled the venue toward collapse and forced an emergency response.
