Since Oden's and Kozuki Toki's deaths, Kin'emon now dutifully serves Kozuki Momonosuke, heir to the Kozuki Family, protecting him from any harm or threat. He showed his anger and jealousy at Momonosuke bathing with Robin and sleeping in the same bed with the women of the Straw Hat Pirates. Though he seemed to be outraged at Nami's sense of fashion, he still greatly enjoyed ogling at her cleavage and has used his own Fuku Fuku no Mi to manifest revealing outfits for her to wear. Kin'emon has a tendency to be quite perverted in spite of his sexist ideals. He also seems to be very quick to judge things, believing Zoro to be the one who robbed Ryuma's grave after seeing his sword Shusui, a national treasure from his country, sheathed at his waist. Similarly, Kin'emon once stated that he cannot stand the sight of dragons due to Kaidou himself being a dragon Zoan Devil Fruit user, considering them detestable creatures and violently harming one at Punk Hazard as a result. This is most likely due to his master Kozuki Oden's death at the hands of Kaidou and the Beasts Pirates. Īs shown by his constant refusal to accept help from Sanji and own claims, he holds a strong dislike for all pirates. Kin'emon is greatly honorable, bowing before Sanji for saving his torso (which was separated from him at the time) and thanking him for his help, stating that he was now indebted to him.
Only after nearly freezing to death did he finally forsake his pride and ask for help. Like Momonosuke, Kin'emon is very stubborn, constantly refusing the help of others and claiming he does not need it, while also denying conditions like hunger and pain out of warrior's pride. Even after being completely dismembered by a " mysterious ability", Kin'emon still maintained his pride as a decapitated, talking head.

Kin'emon seems to follow the code of bushido, claiming he would commit suicide if he could, for the shame of being dismembered without dying. He, on many occasions, referred to Nami as a shameless, violent and obscene woman due to her careless behavior and felt disgraced when he got hit on the head by her. Due to his reformed outlook, Kin'emon now expects women to walk three steps behind men and talk gracefully and quietly. After being encouraged by Yasuie to reform himself for Oden's sake, Kin'emon adopted a proper samurai etiquette and a very old fashioned manner of speech. After witnessing Oden taking the blame for the Mountain God Incident, Kin'emon became a devout follower of the shogun's son, claiming that he would die for him. Kin'emon already showed great courage and a desire to protect those dear to him in his early years, something that earned him recognition from Oden. He was going to confess for his crime until Kozuki Oden stopped him. Still, he had a conscience, which acted once he witnessed the chaos and destruction caused by the Mountain God due to his actions, especially after learning that Tsuru, who had backed him all this time and suffered from the troubles he caused, had fallen victim to the gigantic beast. At the time, he was seemingly fine with dying, ignoring Tsuru's advice to leave his involvement with the yakuza and find a normal job otherwise he could get killed (he happily claimed no one would miss him). He was irresponsible with money, frequently falling into financial debt due to endless gambling and stealing from his childhood friend, Tsuru.

It was only after Kin'emon became a proper samurai that it started resembling his current hairstyle. Over 25 years ago, he had blonde hair and did not wear it in a top-knot. He has the crest of the Kozuki Family tattooed on his back. For footwear, he wears simple geta sandals. Kept on the left side of his torso is a pair of katana with identical flame-patterned sheaths. His attire consists of a samurai gi that is black and white striped on the left side and orange on the right. His eyes are asymmetrical, with his right eye opening more than his left. At 295 cm (9'8"), he is taller than Brook who stands at 277 cm (9'1"). Kin'emon's appearance matches the stereotype of samurai found in ancient Japan, with a black topknot and goatee.
