Kuzan, a former Navy admiral once known as Aokiji, joins Banpresto’s King of Artist collection with this figurine measuring approximately 23 cm. The range emphasises the quality of the sculpting and colouring to offer particularly detailed representations of the iconic characters from One Piece.

The figurine depicts Kuzan in a calm and confident pose, standing with his arms crossed. This stance reflects the character’s relaxed demeanour whilst emphasising his imposing stature. His long coat falls over his shoulders and frames his silhouette, adding further volume to the overall design.

Made from PVC, this non-articulated figurine is primarily intended for collecting and display. Its 23 cm size allows it to take pride of place in a One Piece collection whilst remaining easy to incorporate into a display case dedicated to Banpresto figurines.

Character background and lore

Kuzan is a former admiral of the Marine Headquarters known by the nickname Aokiji, meaning ‘Blue Pheasant’. He was one of the three Admirals alongside Sakazuki, alias Akainu, and Borsalino, alias Kizaru, and was thus counted amongst the Marine’s most powerful fighters.

Kuzan possesses the powers of the Hie Hie no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create, control and transform into ice. In particular, he can instantly freeze vast quantities of water or immobilise his opponents, making his abilities one of the most formidable forces encountered throughout the series.

Following the Marineford War and Sengoku’s departure from his post as Fleet Admiral, Kuzan faced off against Sakazuki on Punk Hazard to determine which of the two would succeed him. Their duel lasted several days and ended in Sakazuki’s victory. Refusing to serve under his command, Kuzan subsequently left the Marines and went his own way, becoming a more independent and enigmatic figure in the One Piece universe.
