Society and culture[]

Kyuzo bounty hunter, Embo.
Kyuzo also spoke their native language. The species was known for having highly capable warriors, who had very high standards of honor.
The go-zeki were an organization of honor-fanatic Kyuzo gangsters, identifiable by their skin, charred orange by their initiation rituals.[1]
Kyuzo in the galaxy[]
The bounty hunter Embo was a member of this species. During the Clone Wars, he worked with fellow bounty hunters Sugi, Seripas and Rumi Paramita to defend a village on Felucia from pirate raiders. He later worked with the Confederacy of Independent Systems in a plot to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, alongside Cad Bane, Twazzi, Derrown and Rako Hardeen. Embo would take another job from the Confederacy to chase Rush Clovis, Padmé Amidala, and Anakin Skywalker off of Scipio.
Three Kyuzo go-zeki were active on Nar Shaddaa, the smuggler's moon of Nal Hutta, shortly after the rise of the Galactic Empire.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
The species name is taken from one of the character names of The Seven Samurai (七人の侍), a movie by Akira Kurosawa, to whom the episode that the Kyuzo species and the bounty hunter Embo were introduced in was dedicated.[2]
