==Summary==
Born as a man known as Kamui Uehara, also known as the Format Kamui, Kamui is a corruption of the information that composed that man, together with that of many other people. While known to most of the world as a brutal serial killer deified by his many admirers, Kamui is something more, a metaphysical being able to take control of certain individuals, although most of the individuals it forces its characteristics upon are also referred to as Kamui.
Although most of Kamui's avatars are quickly driven to insanity, one of them, known as Uehara, remained sane after this, becoming what he called the perfect Kamui Uehara, and claimed he would bring peace to the world. He then went on to appear in No More Heroes' third game, Travis Strikes Again, where he met Travis Touchdown, supporting him in his quest to find the seven Death Balls. He reappears in No More Heroes III as the younger-looking NT Kamui, with his new girlfriend, Midori Midorikawa, first convincing Travis to spare her after a fight, then helping him in his final battle against FU.

Superhuman Physical Characteristics (In addition to their strength, Silver Eye users have enhanced metabolismThe 25th Ward: The Silver Case, 2005, Placebo #5), Immortality (Type 1, 2 and 3) (The Silver Eyes are repeatedly stated to give immortality and prevent aging, causing old recipients to revert to their prime. It is also said to remove the function of death from the human body, leaving them unable to dieThe 25th Ward: The Silver Case, 2005, UTSUTSU (Placebo #0)), Regeneration (Mid, when Uminosuke Hachisuka ripped off his own eyes, replacing them with the Format Kamui's, they immediately became his, healing his two gunshot wounds to the head and reverting him to a younger age in the processThe Silver Case, 1999, Case ! Danwa), Extrasensory Perception and Precognition (Tokio Morishima could sense the presence of another Silver Eye holderFlower, Sun & Rain, 2001, Request 17. There are many examples of normal people in Suda51's games being capable of instinctually sensing or perceiving things they could otherwise not know, with some examples being shown by entire groups or populations of people. As an incarnation of Kamui's criminal power, their instincts should be far superior to those of the average person, and even relatively low tier combatants are capable of sensing others' bloodlust or presence through their instincts), Instinctive Reaction (A fighter's instincts are honed as they become more powerful, with even people such as pro bikers being capable of entering a state where their bodies react to issues automatically and entire species of alien warriors being capable of fighting through sheer instinct. Various highly skilled fighters such as Travis Touchdown, Shinobu Jacobs or The Killer7 have shown the ability to predict attacks instinctually), Unconventional Mind Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation, Morality Manipulation, Madness Manipulation, Fear Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement, Death Manipulation (Kamui's "criminal power" causes compulsions within those observing him or even learning of his crimes, pushing them to commit crimes as well. It has also been shown to cause mental instability and even paralyze people witnessing it. Those who truly come to understand Kamui even have a risk of being overtaken by him), Stealth Mastery (Kamui Fujiwara repeatedly snuck up to trained police officers, eliminating them), Reality Warping, Spatial Manipulation and Time Manipulation (Silver Eyes are able to control time and spaceGPara 2001 Interview and warp realityFlower, Sun & Rain, 2001, Request 17), Magic (Silver Eyes are said to be magical in nature2001 Famitsu Interview), Resistance to Death Manipulation (The function of death is halted in the bodies of Silver Eye holders)
|-|Perfect Kamui=
All previous abilities to a higher degree, Weapon Mastery and Marksmanship (Proficient in the use of guns and tactical knives. Skilled enough to have Travis Touchdown admit he was "pretty tough"Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, 2019, Travis Strikes Back #6), Resurrection (Inexplicably came back from being killed by Shiroyabu even before "awakening" his potential as Kamui), Deconstruction (Atomized Jabroni's physical body with the Silver Eye in one of the endings), Self-Destruction and Purification, Aura (Shone with a weird aura as he was about to fight Travis), Extrasensory Perception (Was able to feel the presence of a certain person from far awayTravis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, 2019, Travis Strikes Back #1), seemingly able to control his criminal power and prevent it from affecting others, which previous Kamui avatars weren't able to
|-|NT Kamui=
All previous abilities to a higher degree, Enhanced Resurrection, Multilocation and Immortality (Type 6. Midori Midorikawa stated FU couldn't kill Kamui, and when FU tried he returned less then a second after being disintegratedNo More Heroes III, 2021, Rank #5. This is likely a faster and more powerful version of previous Kamui's criminal power, immediately turning others into versions of himself. Kamui can seemingly even have multiple bodies at once), Flight (Can fly, and often uses this ability to tackle enemiesNo More Heroes III, 2021, Rank #5 Boss Fight, Midori Midorikawa), Biological Manipulation (Seemingly aged backwards from his form in Travis Strikes Again and The 25th Ward, having gone from an adult to a teenager), Time Stop (Froze time to talk to the player), Breaking the Fourth Wall (Gave a long speech addressed to the player), Transformation (Can transform into a geometrical form reminiscent of Kosuke Kurumizawa), Portal Creation and Teleportation (Teleported Travis' allies next to him in quick successionNo More Heroes III, 2021, Rank #1 Boss Fight, FU), Resistance to Temperature Manipulation (Faster than Fullface enemies, who would freeze their own faces off if they were to attack at light speed without their equipment)
|-|True Kamui=
Immortality (Type 1 and 6), Multilocation and Unconventional Hive Mind (The thousands of people in Tokyo that were part of the Shelter Kids experiments are essentially Kamui sleeper agents, hold the "seed" of Kamui inside them, which can take them over at any time and even somewhat affects their actions before that. This criminal power in reality affects anyone that comes into contact with Kamui and is affected by him), Incorporeality and Abstract Existence (Type 1) (Kamui exists merely as information, as thoughts being transmitted between people. Even if all the Shelter Kids are all killed, Kamui will survive. It has even been hinted that Kamui's true self exists as something even more abstract), Possession (Kamui is able to possess Shelter Kids, aka individuals raised in a specific manner to facilitate his transition into them. However, even when someone unrelated to the Shelter Kids truly understands Kamui's "secret", they will begin to turn into an avatar of his), Empowerment and Subjective Reality (Gave Kurumizawa, an Observer, a boost to his abilities, and one needs to have observation powers more effective than those of an Observer to affect them), Unconventional Mind Manipulation, Empathic Manipulation, Madness Manipulation, Fear Manipulation, Morality Manipulation, Paralysis Inducement, Death Manipulation

Attack Potency: Up to Wall level (Several incarnations of Kamui have been members of the Heinous Crimes Unit, who should be comparable to Sumio Kodai, one of their agents, and superior to the average Santa Destroy thug. Further supporting this, the criminal power that Kamui embodies is said to be directly tied to power and skillThe Silver Case, 1999, Case 1Killer Is Dead (Novel), kills4th) | At least Wall level (Far stronger than any previous incarnation of Kamui), likely Town level (Fought Travis Touchdown, even getting him to admit he was "pretty tough", although he lost in the end) | Dwarf Star level (Knocked away Full Green Mode Travis Touchdown from Midori Midorikawa, whom he'd just defeated, forcing him out of that form. Managed to hurt FU while he was in his dome form) | Unknown (As he is merely information, Kamui cannot attack conventionally)
Speed: Up to Subsonic Reactions (Should be at least comparable to Tetsugoro Kusabi, who dodged a bullet) | Subsonic reactions (Dodged several bullets in various endings, faster than other incarnations of Kamui), likely Massively Hypersonic+ (Fought Travis Touchdown) | FTL (Blitzed an off-guard Travis and FU) | Unknown
Lifting Strength: Up to at least Athletic Human | At least Athletic Human, possibly Class K (Able to fight Travis Touchdown) | Likely Class K (Managed to knock Travis away and off-balance. Likely comparable to his allies) | Unknown
Striking Strength: Up to Wall level | At least Wall level, likely Town level | Dwarf Star level | Unknown
Durability: Up to Wall level | At least Wall level, likely Town level | Dwarf Star level | Unknown | Unknown (Very difficult to kill due to his abilities)
Stamina: Up to Peak Human for its incarnations | Superhuman (Able to keep fighting after receiving several gunshots, could fight Travis for an extended period of time) | Superhuman (Likely higher than before) | Likely Inapplicable
Range: Standard Melee Range; Tens of Meters for his incarnations' harpoon guns; Hundreds of Meters for their handguns | Standard Melee Range; Hundreds of Meters with handgun | Standard Melee Range | At least Thousands of Kilometers (Can affect both Tokyo and Lospass Island, which is in Micronesia. Tokyo and Micronesia are about 4000 km apart from each other), likely far higher (Only limited by how far its information can go)
Standard Equipment: Several incarnations of Kamui tend to use a customized harpoon gun later known as "pin stick", and many others use firearms of some sort | A handgun and a tactical knife | Nothing | Nothing
Intelligence:
<tabber>
|-|Normal Avatar=
Up to Gifted (Several incarnations of Kamui are serial killers able to evade the police or skilled detectives. All of the Shelter Kids are usually Above Average in intelligence to begin with, as they were part of a special education program meant to create perfect citizens for Tokyo's 24 wards)
|-|Perfect Kamui Uehara (T25W/TSA)=
Gifted (Said to have a knack for finding crime even among the HCU, Uehara is a very skilled detective and combatant, and upon awakening became the perfect Kamui, without the flaws of previous incarnations. Was able to fight Travis somewhat evenly)
|-|NT Kamui=
Gifted (Just as intelligent as Perfect Kamui)
|-|True Kamui=
At least Mindless, possibly far higher (It's unknown how much intelligence Kamui himself has, as he seems to be more of a force of nature than an intelligent being sometimes, although he has been hinted to be at least sentient multiple times)
</tabber>
Weaknesses: When abandoned by Kamui, his avatars will suffer from Hyposthenic Disorder, rendering them virtually harmless, and most avatars cannot restrain their criminal power. These weaknesses don't apply to the perfect Kamui. The effect of Kamui's criminal power can be negating by removing memories of it.
Note: Most of Kamui's powers and abilities are explained in this blog due to their complexity.
