Description
Kabamaro is a pink, hippopotamus-like creature who serves as a recurring rival to Joe Kirifuda as a member of Team Usagi, alongside his associates Pyonko-Hime and General Rabbit. The character is exclusively known for uttering the phrase "Kaba desume~" as his primary form of speech. Despite his comedic and unusual appearance, Kabamaro is recognized for possessing what Pyonko-Hime describes as "The Hand of God," a title that underscores his extraordinary massage abilities, which he honed while working at Lulu's bar.
Kabamaro's physical form presents distinct challenges, as his stubby limbs force him to rely on his nose to manipulate and draw cards during duels. His unique physiology is complemented by an uncanny ability to detect rare cards through scent, and notably, his tears are said to be a viable ingredient for ramen. Team Usagi, including Kabamaro, has a long-standing legacy of hunting for rare cards spanning over thirty years. This dedication to acquiring rare cards often serves as Kabamaro's primary motivation for engaging in duels, and he works at Lulu's bar partly as a cover to steal cards from opponents like Joe.
In the story, Kabamaro initially appears as a comedic adversary, but his role becomes more significant when rare cards tempt him into serious battle. During his duels, Kabamaro deploys a deck primarily based on the Nature Civilization, focusing on Gransects. He later demonstrates tactical flexibility by integrating Light Civilization allies such as Immovable, Proud Soul, and Pumppump Panzer into his strategy. His combat approach includes using Mafariich Tank to shatter opposing shields while employing Pumppump Panzer to eliminate enemy creatures. Despite demonstrating these strategic capabilities, Kabamaro consistently suffers defeats, including a notable loss to Joe when his decisive strike was thwarted by the intervention of Baron Gelacho.
Kabamaro's key relationships are centered within Team Usagi, acting alongside Pyonko-Hime and General Rabbit as a cohesive unit. The character exhibits some development over the course of his appearances, adapting his dueling tactics by blending multiple civilizations into his deck, showcasing increasing flexibility despite his consistent losses. His non-human traits, including an extended lifespan and distinct physiology, hint at origins tied to the creature world. Additional notable abilities include the strange phenomenon that occurs when he sneezes, which inexplicably creates a black hole that connects to the creature world.
