Kizaru (real name Borsalino) is a Marine Admiral. He first appears at Sabaody Archipelago when Luffy knocks out a World Noble, attracting the attention of the marines and causing them to dispatch an admiral to the aid of the World Nobles. He leads the marines in the battle against the Straw Hat pirates, along with his comrade Sentomaru. He fights against the old pirate Silvers Rayleigh, while the former first mate of Gol D. Roger holds Kizaru off to buy the Straw Hat Pirates time for escape. After Bartholomew Kuma sends the pirates flying away, Kizaru demands to know why he let them escape, to which no answer was given.
Players can unlock him in the third game's Dream Log Mode.
Role in Games
Kizaru first fights for the Marines in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 to attempt to capture the Dials that Luffy and his Pirate coalition have. On Drum Island, Kizaru is forced to fight against Sentomaru who is under the Frenzy Dial's influence. At the Marine Headquarters, with Whitebeard dead, Garp convinces the admiral to join the Pirate alliance, only temporarily.
On the True Ending path, Kizaru and others are brainwashed by the Frenzy Dials and he fights on Skypiea. He is soon broken free and fights for the pirate coalition in the final battle against Teach.
Personality
Kizaru is a very laid-back and lazy invidual. He speaks in a very slow manner and often drags his syllables out. He also seems to be irresponsible regarding his own strength, as he non-chalantly destroyed a mangrove tree on Sabaody Archipelago, something that he wasn't supposed to do. Given the nature of his powerful Devil Fruit abilities, he doesn't seem to take many encounters seriously, and likes to take his time. His slow and lazy personality conflicts with his Devil Fruit powers of light, which literally allow him to move at lightspeed.

Fighting Style
Kizaru's Glint Glint Fruit allows him to transform his body into the element of light, as well as allowing him to create light and control it. By turning his body into light, he can move at lightspeed, using this speed to augment his physical abilities. He can also create light, usually in the form of laser beams. The laser beams he creates have both explosive and piercing properties, able to detonate explosions of monstrous scale, as well as pierce bodies. He can also form a sword of light and is quite adept in swordsmanship.
