Why does Bermuda always address characters as -kun?


In the manga of _Katekyo Hitman Reborn!_ (also commonly just "Reborn!" for
obvious reasons) after the future and Shimon Arc ends, the Arcabaleno Arc
begins and reveals that:

> Bermuda, the arcobaleno of the eighth element of night, bargains with Reborn
> in Chapter 384-ish to take his life for future generations and use his life
> to kill Checker Face.

While reading it, I noticed Bermuda calls _all_ characters "-kun"! Since it's
obviously a term more for guys, and yet it was used on Chrome and weaker
players like Lal Mirch etc., I thought it was a little strange. I don't think
it's a translation error either - since 「―くん」is pretty obviously "-kun".

Is there any explanation for this? Is it something to do with his personality?




In this case I believe Bermuda is looking down on all the characters as if
they were his subordinates or just addressing in an [endearing
sense](http://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new/chan-and-kun-in-japanese) (he is _way_
older than them).

In company or school situations in Japan "-kun" is by superiors when
addressing subordinates of both genders. Alternatively "-kun" might also be
used as a term of endearment towards the (younger) male characters (similar to
"-chan" with females).
