Do I need another personality to use Hida Kuon xp 5's unbow ability? Or can I use it even if Kuon is my only personality in play.
Hida Kuon xp5 ability: Battle/Open : Even if Kuon is bowed: Straighten Kuon and another Crab Clan Personality at Kuon's location.

You need another personality. See Conjunctions:
The phrase "a [keyword 1] and a [keyword 2]" refers to two different cards, each with the relevant keyword. Example: "Bow a Samurai and a Courtier" is not fulfilled by bowing a single card with both Samurai and Courtier as keywords.
Correction: I seem to have assumed there was a "target" in Hida Kuon exp5's ability which just isn't there.
Hida Kuon exp5's ability has no targets, so there is no mandatory targeting, so you may take the action regardless of the number of other Crab Clan Personalities at his location.

I'm sorry, but I got more confused by the second post by AkodoGilador here: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=69395
So, can I use Kuon's ability even if he is my only personality?

Yes. As Alex said: "you may take the action regardless of the number of other Crab Clan Personalities at his location."
