Professor Kukui

Professor Kukui is a major supporting character in the Pokémon anime, specifically in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. He serves as the Pokémon Professor of the Alola region, specializing in the study of Pokémon moves (often called the "Professor of Moves").

His signature outfit includes an open white lab coat (often worn over his bare chest), a colorful rainbow-patterned cap, green-striped shorts or pants, and flip-flops, giving him a casual, laid-back island vibe combined with his professorial role.

Personality-wise, he's friendly, upbeat, approachable, and encouraging, with a passionate and serious side when it comes to Pokémon research and battling. He has a secret identity as The Masked Royal, a popular pro-wrestler-style Battle Royal competitor in Alola, which highlights his love for intense Pokémon battles (his signature Pokémon includes Incineroar). He's happily married to Professor Burnet and later becomes a father, and he plays a key role in supporting Ash's journey while founding and promoting the Alola Pokémon League. Overall, he's portrayed as one of the coolest, most relatable, and battle-savvy professors in the series.
