Personality
Semimaru was very calm and did not show much of a reaction in crisis, such as when Oden attacked Orochi, as he simply put up a barrier to protect the latter. When he saw Oden humiliate himself on the street of the Flower Capital, he cackled with his family members, enjoying their successes.
Relationships
Kurozumi Family
Semimaru was loyal to his family, and went along with Higurashi plot to make Orochi the shogun. He was seen laughing with them in triumph after they had forced Kouzuki Oden, their rival to the shogunate, to humiliate himself.
Abilities And Powers
Semimaru was a lute priest and was very capable in playing the lute, even when crossing his fingers to use his ability.
Devil Fruit
Semimaru ate the Bari Bari no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allowed him to create barriers at will. With this ability, he was able to easily shield Orochi from attacks with a barrier even able to withstand Oden's Ryuo-filled slashes.
History
Around 103 years ago, Semimaru was born in Wano Country Over 41 years ago, Semimaru was present when Kurozumi Higurashi explained to Kurozumi Orochi what had happened with his grandfather and the downfall of the Kurozumi Family. Twenty-five years ago, Semimaru was with Orochi and Higurashi when Kouzuki Oden returned and attacked Orochi, and he created a barrier to protect Orochi, rendering Oden unable to remove him from power. Five years later, Semimaru accompanied Orochi and Higurashi to Kuri as Orochi told Oden of his intention to build factories there. Semimaru eventually died of old age not long after Kaidou killed Higurashi, leading to the Bari Bari no Mi to be reincarnated elsewhere and be eaten by Bartolomeo.
Trivia
Semimaru's name and profession are possibly inspired by the Japanese poet and musician Semimaru. Semimaru (蝉丸?) means "cicada circle". The cicada theme is also present in the name of his family member Higurashi. Semimaru's favorite food is loquat, known as biwa (ビワ?) in Japanese. This is likely a nod to his instrument of choice, the biwa.
