{{Nihongo|'''Hajime Kugara'''|{{Ruby|具|く}}{{Ruby|柄|がら}}{{Ruby|一|はじめ}}|Kugara Hajime}} was a member of the elite Anti-Cloud Gouger Special Forces in the [[Kamunabi]] under [[Ikuto Hagiwara]]'s command.

Kugara, along with the rest of Ikuto's squad, was considered an elite fighter of the Kamunabi. He had a bird-like mask attached onto his face for reasons unknown. Despite being the tallest member of Ikuto's squad, he often appeared hunched or leaning. Among his squadron, he stood out as the most eccentric, displaying high levels of excitement and frequently having loud outbursts. During his confrontation with [[Genichi Sojo]], he demonstrated the ability to imbue his arms with iron-like properties, enabling him to withstand some of Cloud Gouger's attacks with minimal damage, although he audibly experienced pain in doing so.

== Appearance ==
Kugara is an extremely tall individual, though he often appears hunched or leaning. Despite this, he still stood at least a head taller than his captain Ikuto in his usual hunched posture. He has a bird-like mask attached onto his face for reasons unknown, and has black hair that flares rearward. Kugara typically dons the standard Kamunabi uniform, resembling a modern black haori kimono over a white dress shirt accompanied by black pants fastened with a black belt.
