==Personality==
Semimaru was very calm and did not show much of a reaction in crisis, such as when Oden attacked Orochi, as he simply put up a barrier to protect the latter. When he saw Oden humiliate himself on the street of the Flower Capital, he cackled with his family members, enjoying their successes.

==History==
Around 103 years ago, Semimaru was born in Wano Country
Over 41 years ago, Semimaru was present when Kurozumi Higurashi explained to Kurozumi Orochi what had happened with his grandfather and the downfall of the Kurozumi Family.
Twenty-five years ago, Semimaru was with Orochi and Higurashi when Kouzuki Oden returned and attacked Orochi, and he created a barrier to protect Orochi, rendering Oden unable to remove him from power. Five years later, Semimaru accompanied Orochi and Higurashi to Kuri as Orochi told Oden of his intention to build factories there.
Semimaru eventually died of old age not long after Kaidou killed Higurashi, leading to the Bari Bari no Mi to be reincarnated elsewhere and be eaten by Bartolomeo.
