Oume Kaizou (青梅 戒造) is a fictional character and antagonist in the Shaman King The Super Star manga series.

Appearance
Kaizou is a tall wide build man. He is balding with only a small patch of hair on top of his head and he has a scraggly mustache growing all the way to his ears. In his youth, he had a full set of hair and was clean-shaven.

He is commonly seen wearing a white smoking jacket with a white shirt and a black bow-tie.

Abilities and Powers
Kaizou awoken his power as shaman by seeing the "file" provided by Luke Lasso which also corrupted his morals. His talent as a shaman is extraordinal, outmatching anybody Luke Lasso had ever seen by instantly creating a large O.S. without any materials, to counter and blocked Lucifer's attack. As Kamogawa Yosuke commented, his spiritual and will power grew even further by becoming old.

According to Alumi Niumbirch, Kaizou appears well adjusted to fighting and during their fight, he showed a complex planned offense and defense, using military strategies. His will power is also strong to keep hiding the confidential materials for over 70 years, and even Alumi and Hebijima could not see through.

Spirit
Kaizou's spirit is the battleship-shaped oni created by himself, after seeing the "file" and provoked his talent as a shaman, and provoked feelings including despairs.

Past
During World War 2, Kaizou was a ship mechanic for the Japanese Imperial Navy. After the war, he hired a lot of soldiers who worked maintenance during the war and quickly opened up a factory. Because of his luck and his success during post-war reforms in Japan, Morimura Banji suspects that Kaizou somehow intimidated the political and financial sector of Japan into giving him something big.
