A ‘tinker’ with a knowledge and facility with technology decades ahead of her time, specializing in a variety of devastating explosives and bombs.

Trivia
- Bakuda's codename is a bastardization of the japanese 爆弾, or 'bakudan', which means 'bomb'.
- Bakuda is half Caucasian and half Asian, as evidenced by her blue eyes (the only time she is seen unmasked, in her last appearance). The mixed race is something she shares in common with Lung.
