The '''Kuruma''' is a four-door sedan seen in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]].
'''Jizzy B.''' is a character in the [[3D Universe]] and an infamous pimp in [[San Fierro]], [[San Andreas]] who owns the [[The Pleasure Domes Club |Pleasure Domes]] night club under the [[Gant Bridge]]. It is an adult entertainment place, where Jizzy surrounds himself with [[prostitutes]], whom he abuses. Jizzy is member of the [[Loco Syndicate]] drug cartel in San Fierro. Jizzy is the Cartel's face and charisma, recruiting men to pull hits, errands and other business for the Syndicate's dealings.


==Overview==
[[Carl Johnson]] becomes aware of the "big deal" between the Loco Syndicate and representatives from [[Big Smoke|Big Smoke's]] crack empire, and decides to use Jizzy to learn about the Syndicate's business deals. [[Wu Zi Mu]] informs Carl that the 'big deal' meeting is the with [[Ryder]] and the [[Ballas]], and Carl has to take Jizzy's phone in order to find out about where the meeting will take place. Carl then kills Jizzy as he tries to escape in his [[Broadway]].
=== Design ===
The word "kuruma" means "automobile" in Japanese ([[:wp:ja:車|]]), which may suggest that the car is of Japanese origin. However, the car is loosely based on a [[wp:Dodge Intrepid|1998–2004 Dodge Intrepid]] and a [[wp:Chrysler Sebring|2001–2003 Chrysler Sebring]]. For GTA Liberty City Stories, the Kuruma has slight cosmetic changes to make it look like a generic Japanese sedan during the late 1990s, the front appearing to resemble a [[WP:Honda Accord|1994–1997 Honda Accord]]; it also comes with colored or uncolored (gray) bumpers and trims, giving it the appearance of an economy car.


The Kuruma is the first car made available to the player in both GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, in the missions "[[Give Me Liberty]]" and "[[Home Sweet Home]]", respectively, probably due to the fact that it handles relatively neutrally. When originally introduced in GTA III, the car is not seen driven on the streets of [[Portland]], but is parked in various locations in the island; in GTA Liberty City Stories, the car is present in Portland traffic.
Jizzy B. was voiced by the late [[Charlie Murphy]].


During [[Beta Releases#Grand Theft Auto III|development of GTA III]], the Kuruma was originally known as the "'''Sentinal'''", not to be confused by the [[Sentinel]], another sedan in the final version of the same game, in which it was previously known as the "[[Beamer]]" during development. Prior to the game's release, the Kuruma is presumed to have been renamed, while the "Sentinal" name found its way into the Beamer, resulting in the Beamer being renamed the "Sentinel".

=== Performance ===
The Kuruma is powered by a small, yet gutsy, engine, most likely a four-cylinder, channelled to the front wheels. Whilst the engine is powerful enough to propel the Kuruma to high straight line speeds, the front wheel drive layout causes understeer. Players may therefore favor using the handbrake to swing round turns at high speed. The car has a stiff suspension set-up that compromises stability when going over bumps and edges at high speeds. For a mid-size or compact sedan, the Kuruma is relatively heavy for its class, weighing in at 1, 500 kilograms.
 
The Kuruma possesses almost identical handling properties to the GTA III rendition of the [[Taxi]].
 
== Variant ==
{{main|FBI Car}}
The [[FBI Car]] in GTA III is a Kuruma-based law enforcement sedan for use by [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agents, prominently painted black and features a higher ride height as well as a blue dashboard-mounted strobe light.

* The Kuruma has appeared as both a [[wreck]] and a working car in [[Manhunt|Manhunt and Manhunt 2]], respectively.
* The Kuruma is referenced in an episode of CBS crime drama "[[wp:NCIS (TV series)|NCIS]]" where a witness tells Ziva David that the getaway car was a "Kuruma", who gets told by her superiors that "kuruma" means car, and that her description of the car is ''car''. Agent McGee steps in and tells his confused co-workers: "Kuruma is the name of a car in Grand Theft Auto III, it's a Chrysler Sebring Sedan, boss."
