This Heartless is dressed in a traditional brown and blue samurai outfit, comprising a blue inner shirt, a brown breastplate, and a pair of brown trousers. It also wears bluish-grey ''{{W|tabi}}'', which are socks that separate the big toe from the rest of the toes, and brown sandals. On its head is a conical grey ''{{W|kabuto}}'', a helmet used by ancient Japanese warriors, and later the samurai class and their retainers. ''Kabuto'' are displayed along with Kintarō dolls on Boys' Day because they are customarily seen as symbols of strength and vitality. On top of the Common Soldier's kabuto is a gold crest—a ''kashiradate'', or top decoration. | This Heartless is dressed in a traditional brown and blue samurai outfit, comprising a blue inner shirt, a brown breastplate, and a pair of brown trousers.
