Half Brother
Katamari had a half brother, Kaiu Kuma, son of Kenru. Katamari went to confront Kenru upon learning that he had let Katamari's mother live in shame, but found Kenru had already died. Seeking out Kuma he thought to punish his half brother for his dishonor. Katamari found that Kuma, an Emerald Magistrate who was assigned to the village of Kakita Bogu, was neither surprised nor willing to defend his father's dishonorable actions. This shocked Katamari, and he lost his anger realizing that he would do to his half brother what others had done to his mother. Kuma, offered Katamari a position as his yoriki.
