Borsalino

Kizaru (黄ザル大将, Kizaru Taishō) is the third of the three Admirals in the Marines. His name means Yellow Monkey in Japanese while his original name was Borsalino. He was first mentioned by Robin during the initial encounter with Aokiji.

Appearance
Kizaru is middle aged man with a moderate amount of wrinkles on his face. He has appeared in a striped suit with the standard Marines' coat over it. He wears shades and a portable Den Den Mushi on his wrist. He is very tall, about the same height as Aokiji. The way Kizaru's character design is drawn resembles the famous japanese actor, Kunie Tanaka.

Abilities and Powers
As an Admiral, Kizaru is able to command vast number of Marine troops that are under his rank. Most of all, he has the ability order a Buster Call attack on any island.

Kizaru apparently has some sort of ability to let objects pass through him. Leading some to believe that he may possess the powers of a logia fruit. However it is unknown yet if this is a Devil Fruit power or not.

History
After the Tenryuubito incident at the Sabaody Archipelago, Kizaru spoke with Sengoku about handling the situation, and volunteered to deal with the rookies himself. The Marines outside the Human Auctioning House commented that Kizaru was bringing some type of "troops", which seemed to shock them, but they did not elaborate on what exactly that meant. Later, the Admiral has arrived on Sabaody Archipelago, riding on top of a fired canon ball, as it lands.

When he did so, he tried to call someone on his Den Den Mushi, but seemingly got no reply. One of on-looking pirates wanted to try his luck and shot at Kizaru, but though the shot passed directly through the Admiral, it didn't affect him in the slightest. Kizaru then tried to ask the group pirates a question, looking for someone named Sentomarou, whom he called his "subordinate". When the pirates ran away from him in fear, he kicked something with his foot, uprooting an entire Yarukiman Grove. Sabaody soldiers commented on his carelessness upon this, and even Kizaru noted that he overdid it.

He later confronts Basil Hawkins, saying he wants to ask him a question.

Trivia

 * The model of Kizaru's face is the Japanese actor, Kunie Tanaka. Along with that, Kizaru's clothes and real name, Borsalino, are apparently based on a movie character that Kunie Tanaka played in his youth. The character, Borsalino, from the old Japanese film "Truck yarou", wore a suit and shades similar to Kizaru's design.
