Kin'emon and Izou

Foxfire Kin'emon"[8] is a samurai from the region of Kuri in Wano Country,[5] a retainer of the Kozuki Family,[2] the leader of the Nine Red Scabbards,[4] the husband of Tsurujo, and a former thug.[12] He was born 56 years before the present day, but traveled 20 years forward in time when he was 36 years old.[7]

Due to Wano Country having been taken over by Kurozumi Orochi, an ally of Kaidou of the Four Emperors, Kin'emon set out on a seafaring quest to recruit warriors for his cause, bringing alongside him his master, Kozuki Momonosuke, as well as two of his comrades. After a series of misadventures, Kin'emon ended up on the island of Punk Hazard, where he met and joined forces with the Straw Hat Pirates, posing as Momonosuke's father during the journey to Zou. Izou was the former 16th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates[2] and prior to this, a retainer of the Wano Country daimyo Kozuki Oden. He was the older brother of fellow retainer Kikunojo.[9]Izou was a man who had a pale complexion and had his black hair tied up in the manner of a geisha with a lock of long, loose hair falling over the right side of his face.[1] He had the crest of the Kozuki Family tattooed on his back.[10] He was a cross-dressing man who wore a pink and purple kimono and a scarlet obi with black spots tied around his waist.
