Kuma used to be a merciless powerful pirate before he allowed the world government experiment on him and turn him into a cyborg. He now is a shichibukai and works for the world government. He ate the paw paw fruit (Nikyu Nikyu no Mi) which allows him to push/repel anything such as air. He has a former bounty of 296,000,000 beri.
Kuma is an enormous man and he is over 5 meters tall and he is usually seen carrying a Bible. He resembles that of a bear because of his hat and the paw prints on his shirt,though there are a few key differences.His eyes are strangely covered by either a pair of glasses or clear-mirrored lenses. While initially he will give the impression of wearing glasses, it seems that, based on his clones that were destroyed, those are actually his own eyes. His hat features a pair of rounded ears, and, along with the fabric of his pants, is covered in brown spots. His jacket contains a large white design reminiscent of a target crosshair. There are also several paw prints lining the bottom hem of his coat. He also has a long protruding chin. There were differences in the manga and and anime in manga he was originally supposed to have and orange coat and a yellow hat with green spots. But they changed the color to more resemble the anime version.
Despite his imposing figure and his past reputation, Bartholomew Kuma is a very calm and quiet person. In addition to his demeanor, he can also be seen as somewhat of a benevolent character, especially compared to the other shichibukai. This assumption can be reached through some of his actions, specifically when he spared the lives of the Luffy and his crew on two separate occasions. Although he obeys the commands of the World Government, Kuma disagrees with what his superiors deem "good" and "bad" in the world. Instead, Kuma strives to uphold his own ideals (described as moral justice) whenever possible. He even goes so far as to imply that allowing Blackbeard into their group had been a poor decision by the government, despite the fact that Blackbeard filled the position left by Crocidile's defeat.
