Personality
Genma, in contrast to Mina and much like his second mission partner, Youko, is a Contractor with a rather jovial disposition. He is often at odds with Mina, who sees him to be a pervert among other things, but he doesn't tend to mind much.
Ability
Genma demonstrating his abilities
Genma's ability allows him to form defensive or offensive weapons, through the construction of entire or partial suit of armor created out of a variety of materials. To do so he must firstly make physical contact with the object he wishes to manipulate.
The obeisance required is so far unknown but from the third episode, it may possibly be some form of incense related aromatherapy, as he is observed lying down as Mina and Youko light numerous piles of incense upon his back.
Role in story
Genma briefly appears in the first episode, tapping into the conversation between July, April and August 7 along with the rest of his team. He reappears soon after Mina retreats from her battle with Hei, and is almost immediately kissed by Mina, as her remuneration requires it. Genma doesn't mind, but is stung by Mina's remark of washing his taste out when asked why she kissed Youko.
He later runs into Suou, on the run, and attempts to help her, but she refuses and runs away. He follows Hei and Suou's trail later, and runs into a group of Russian soldiers led by Gozlov, and he massacres them using a suit of improvised armor made from his Contractor ability made of pipes and rubble.
In the third episode, he and Mina attempt to capture Hei after Youko activates immobilizing drones, but they overload and Suou escapes with Hei. They fail to capture him, but Genma nonetheless finishes off the barely alive August 7. He is later seen with Mina and Youko undergoing some sort of aromatherapy, possibly his obeisance, once more irritating Mina. At the station, he commandeers a runaway train, which slams into another and causes a giant fuel explosion. He is later disarmed when Suou fires at him, blocking the bullet just in time with gauntlets created from steel siphoned from another train.
