Kaiu Kuma

Kaiu Kuma was the son of Kaiu Kenru and the half brother of Iuchi Katamari, who was born out of wedlock to an Iuchi. When Katamari came looking for his father after the death of his mother he found that Kenru had already died. Seeking out Kuma he thought to punish his half brother for his dishonor. Katamari found that Kuma would not fight him, 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.

In a plot to free Iuchiban, The Dark Daughter Shahai used Katamari, Kuma, and Kuma's wife Kaiu Sui to enter Iuchiban's tomb to free the Bloodspeaker.

Iuchiban killed Kuma, and Sui. Katamari escaped with the help of Adisabah, a rakshasa spirit.
