Kiyomasa Senji

Senji Kiyomasa is a Deadman in Deadman Wonderland. He is the first Deadman Ganta Igarashi encountered and later became his "mentor".

Appearance
Senji is a tall, muscular man with a medium-dark tan. He has short black hair in spikes to the back. He has the letters DSMK tattooed above his right eye, in memory of his friends.

When he was still a police officer, he wore the standard police uniform. In Deadman Wonderland, he wore the regular prisoner uniform. When he was put in G Ward, he changed his clothes into darkblue pants with a black belt and a black, long coat. After his Carnival Corpse with Ganta, he lost his right eye and now wears a black eyepatch. He also has two rings with serrated blades in it to slice open his arms, he wears these on his thumbs. Apprently even his cock is muscular according to Tamaki.

Personality
He seems to thoroughly enjoy violence, and his favorite phrase is "Dead center" ("On target" in the Tokyopop translation or "Ssslice" in the anime fansubs). Despite his wild and battle-hungry attitude, he does have a sense of honor and respects strength and determination. He also appears to be against the idea of needless killing, having opted to leave Ganta alone on their first encounter when the made made no effort to defend himself against Senji. In an ironic twist, Senji becomes flustered and embarrassed when a woman acts immodest. When he first notices Shiro's form fitting body tights, his face becomes red and he give her his coat telling her to quickly cover up.

Plot
After making their way to G Ward, Senji destroyed the Necro Macro security robot which had been chasing Ganta, Shiro and Yō. After a small skirmish and an interruption by Shiro, Senji was subdued by the Deadman security. The next day, Ganta and Senji were slated to be the next two Deadmen to compete in the Carnival Corpse. Despite Senji's experience and skill with his Branch of Sin, Ganta managed to win by fooling Senji. As a consequence for losing, Senji's right eye was removed for research. He returns a short time later during Ganta's next match, sporting an eyepatch and gives Ganta assistance with figuring out his opponent's techniques. He also helps Ganta understand his own capabilities. His change in personality toward Ganta is due to his respect for Ganta's strength. Senji comments that because Ganta beat him, he is not allowed to lose until they have a rematch.

Abilities
Branch of Sin: As a Deadman, Senji has the ability to freely control his blood. He has specially-made rings with serrated blades in it to slice open his arms to force the blood out.

Branch of Sin: Crow Claw (クロウ・クロウ, Kurō Kurō): Crow Claw manifests as two large scythe-like blades, made of blood, extending from long cuts on his forearms. While the blades are typically two to three feet long, Senji has demonstrated the ability to greatly lengthen them allowing him to attack people at range, without using more blood.

Invisible Black (空虚閃, Inbijiburu Burakku, Japanese for "Empty Hollow Flash): This is a cutting technique that Senji uses to create a large scythe-like blade across his hand instead of his forearms, and slices the target to pieces at the speed of sound, or just as the name suggests, "in a flash".

Trivia

 * He is responsible for naming Ganta's Branch of Sin: Ganta Gun. He also named his more advanced one, the Ganbaru Gun, that is spelled similar to Ganta's name and it could translate as "The Stand Firm Gun".
 * He has some resemblances both physically and in personality with Kenpachi Zaraki from Bleach.
