## Appearance [ ]

Sukune had long black hair and dark-coloured eyes. His bangs hung over his forehead and he wore a blue V-neck type shirt with the V-neck being green-coloured.

## Abilities [ ]

He is shown to be fairly strong from the civilian's standpoint, capable of decent accuracy with the Chilli Pepper Bombs and able to endure several attacks by the Conch King , but his skills were not nearly equal to those of a ninja.
