Atomic Samurai, also known by his real name Kamikaze, is a masterful swordsman and one of the top-ranked S-Class heroes in the One Punch Man universe. 

He embodies the spirit of a traditional warrior in a world teeming with modern-day chaos, renowned for his unparalleled swordsmanship and composed demeanor.

Clad in a samurai’s kimono and armed with a razor-sharp katana, Kamikaze delivers justice with precision and speed. 

His signature technique, Atomic Slash, unleashes a flurry of lightning-fast strikes, reducing even the mightiest foes to shreds before they can react. 

Though he appears calm and composed, his confidence borders on arrogance. He has little patience for those he deems unworthy of his respect.

Atomic Samurai mentors a group of skilled disciples, including Iaian, Okamaitachi, and Bushidrill, instilling in them the virtues of swordsmanship.

Appearance

  • Updo Hairstyle: His hair is tied into a high ponytail, most of it neatly swept back. This style mimics the chonmage, a classic Japanese hairstyle historically worn by samurai, signifying their status and dedication to their craft.
  • Traditional Samurai Outfit: Atomic Samurai’s clothing consists of a loose-fitting kimono-style top paired with traditional hakama-like pants, allowing for fluid movement and a strikingly regal appearance. He also wears a short haori-style jacket over his attire, giving him a rugged edge while maintaining the traditional aesthetic. 
  • Katanas on his left: Kamikaze keeps two of his katanas on his left side, although he normally uses one of them in a battle.
  • Long Toothpick: Atomic Samurai is often seen with a long toothpick in his mouth, which has become one of his signature traits. He reminds me of Genma Shiranui of Naruto and Benn Backman, but his is a slim cigarette.

Personality

  • Serious and Confident: Atomic Samurai is generally serious and confident, particularly when it comes to his abilities as a swordsman. He is so confident that he refuses to shake Saitama’s hand simply because he does not recognize the hero.
  • Arrogant and Dismissive: Atomic Samurai can be arrogant and dismissive of those he sees as weak.
  • Ruthless When Necessary: When Puri Puri Prisoner suggests trying to save the prisoners who have been turned into monsters, Atomic Samurai reveals he has to cut down his dear comrade after becoming a monster.
  • Loyal and Protective: Atomic Samurai is fiercely loyal to his fellow swordsmen and outraged by any harm that comes to them. This loyalty is evident in his reaction to the betrayal of Haragiri, another member of the Council of Swordmasters who has become a monster. Atomic Samurai wastes no time in cutting Haragiri down.
  • Capable of Growth: Despite his pride, he is willing to acknowledge when he is wrong and learn from his mistakes. After witnessing King’s supposed display of power, Atomic Samurai is humbled and resolves to train even harder.
  • Sense of Camaraderie: Kamikaze has a strong camaraderie with other top heroes, such as Bang, whom he admires for their mastery in their respective fields.
  • Calm and Composed: He rarely loses his demeanor and temper, even in high-pressure situations. This is shown when he faces Black Sperm and gets overwhelmed after knowing he can’t cut him to death.

This apple hasn’t even realized it’s been cut! On top of that, the blade itself hasn’t even realized that it was unsheathed…!!!
