She refers to herself with "sessha" (拙者 or せっしゃ), an archaic form of "I" used by male samurai.

As an employee under Tsuru, Kiku listens to her orders.

Abilities and Powers
As a samurai, it can be presumed that Kiku is proficient in battle.

Swordsmanship
Kiku owns a katana and is said to be competent in using it.

Wano Country Arc
Kiku was working in the tea house when Urashima, a sumo wrestler from the capital, tried courting her to become his wife. She brushed him off and told him to place an order or leave, but Urashima simply continued bragging about his status. The situation was interrupted when Tsuru arrived with Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, and the ill Tama. Tsuru told Kiku to boil medicinal herbs for Tama, which she rushed to do.

As Tsuru healed Tama, Kiku bandaged Zoro's wounds. Kiku then sat next to Tama while she was sleeping. She was alarmed when the gifter Batman attacked Tsuru. Another gifter Gazelleman abducted Tama during the confusion. After grabbing a sword and jumping on Komachiyo, Kiku then pursued Gazelleman along with Luffy and Zoro and head for the Bakura District.
