Moma Kumakura (熊倉 猛馬, Kumakura Mōma) is a minor character in AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES and a character featured in AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - nirvanA Initiative.
Moma is the current leader of the Kumakura Family, following his older brother's step-down in 2013. Moma aims to make the Kumakuras be more peaceful and business-minded, following the years of the organization being ruthless and violent.
In AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES, Moma is a suspect in the Murder of Shoko Nadami and the New Cyclops Serial Killings cases, depending on the branching story. In nirvanA Initiative, he is a witness to the inciting incident of the Half Body Serial Killings case.
Design[]
Moma is only seen sporting a charcoal suit, comprised of a double breasted jacket with grey buttons and matching pants. He wears a black dress shirt underneath, coupled with a fuchsia tie and a gold pin on his lapel. He is a short man with a slim build, with slightly pale skin and slicked back black hair. He has dark eyes, and a scar which goes along the middle of the left side of his forehead. He also has no facial hair.
His design seems to almost directly contrast his older brother, Rohan Kumakura, where he wears dark clothes opposed to Rohan's white, is short and slim opposed to Rohan's big and tall, and so on and so forth.
Personality[]
Although standoffish, violent and cagey towards those he cannot trust, Moma is a heartful and dedicated ally as well. He has a positive relationship with both of his known subordinates, allowing them to leave and re-enter the family as they wish, despite barking orders and acting mean in front of strangers to save face. The well-being of his people seems to be a particular concern for Moma, who cares to hold events such as flower-viewing picnics and zoo visits as part of gang activities.
He is a massive fan of A-set, with the mention of helping her being enough to spur him into action even in routes where he is more antagonistic to Date. He speaks very sweetly when Iris is around, quickly becoming flustered after taking note of his behavior, and can sometimes express more perverted wishes when it comes to her, much to the rightful disgust of others.
Moma's pacifistic and business-minded rule of the Kumakura Family is a direct response to his brother Rohan's management of the gang, as he is disgusted by senseless violence and old-fashioned yakuza traditions such as yubitsume. Their relationship is implied to be both hostile and complicated: this is shown when Moma, faced with his brother's crimes, decides not to forgive or resent him, but to wholly forget about him.

Trivia[]
Etymology[]
- Moma (猛馬) literally means "fierce horse," hence Moma introducing himself as the "War Horse."
- Moma may be a play on "mōmaku" (網膜), meaning "retina."
- Kumakura (熊倉) means "bear warehouse."
General[]
- In a fan-made Character Poll for AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES held on Twitter, Moma Kumakura came in 7th place.
- In response to a fan inquiry on Twitter about if Moma has a traditional yakuza back tattoo or not — given his dislike of "old-fashioned and irrational traditions" —, Uchikoshi Tweeted that he doesn't know, as he's "never seen [Moma's] back", but that he guesses Moma would have a "latest fashion badass tattoo"; that is to say, he'd tattoo anime protagonists on his body, as opposed to the traditional irezumi designs worn by yakuza.
