Profile

Suikotsu (睡骨, Suikotsu?) is a member of the Band of Seven.

Suikotsu has two, definite split personalities. One, a gentle, philanthropist doctor who looks after orphans; the other is a sadistic, Wolverine-appearance killer that earns him his spot in the Band of Seven. When his evil side takes hold he seems to possess a dry sense of humor and a insatiable desire for blood, while when his good side is in control he often hallucinates that he has blood on his hands. He may have a third personality, as shown after he falls off a rope-bridge; this personality seems to be a combination of his other two. Doctor Suikotsu develops a close, empathic relationship with Kikyo, and some fans speculate it bordered on romantic attraction.

When his evil side is in control, he has six green tiger-like markings on the edge of his face. The markings are strikingly similar to what a general evil character has painted on their face in Japanese opera.
