History
The Kabuki Twins were a pair of masked martial artists who served as assassins for clients. At some point, they came into the service of the Penguin when he was in a sojourn to the Orient. They then came to accompany him as he returned to Gotham City where he began to operate as a crime lord.
After Batman found one of them collecting stolen jewellery from a bird, though, it was made clear that they were no ordinary girls. The two of them used their expert fighting skills to beat up the Batman and almost run him over. After they kidnapped Alfred Pennyworth when they caught him trespassing on the Penguin's manor, Batman came to save Alfred and locked the twins in a cage. They ended up catching the Penguin, but when they checked back on the Kabuki Twins, they had escaped. They have had several appearances since then. The two girls have never spoken.
Overview
In appearance, the Twins wore red costumes with blades attached to their hands and had kabuki-styled masks that prevented anyone from seeing their real features. The pair were completely silent with them never speaking but they proved to be skilled martial artists and assassins.
