Kin'emon

He is one of the central allies of the Straw Hats during the Dressrosa, Whole Cake Island and Wano Country Sagas.[13][14During his youth, Kin'emon was a rather brash and rude thug who partook in thievery and assault in order to get rich quickly. He was irresponsible with money, frequently falling into financial debt due to endless gambling and stealing from his childhood friend, Tsurujo.[12] At the time, he was seemingly fine with dying, ignoring Tsurujo's advice to leave his involvement with the yakuza and find a normal job otherwise he could get killed (he happily claimed no one would miss him). Still, he had a conscience, which acted once he witnessed the chaos and destruction caused by the Mountain God due to his actions, especially after learning that Tsurujo, who had backed him all this time and suffered from the troubles he caused, had fallen victim to the gigantic beast.[18] He was going to confess for his crime until Kozuki Oden stopped him.[19"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.

He is one of the central allies of the Straw Hats during the Dressrosa, Whole Cake Island and Wano Country Sagas.[13][14]

ADVERTISEMENT Appearance Kin'emon's appearance matches the stereotype of samurai found in ancient Japan, with a black topknot and goatee.[5] At 295 cm (9'8"), he is taller than Brook who stands at 277 cm (9'1").[8] He is also quite muscular.[15] His eyes are asymmetrical, with his right eye opening more than his left.[5]

His attire consists of a samurai gi that is black and white striped on the left side and orange on the right. Kept on the left side of his torso is a pair of katana with identical flame-patterned sheaths. For footwear, he wears simple geta sandals.[8]

He has the crest of the Kozuki Family tattooed on his back.[16]

Over 25 years ago, he had blonde hair and did not wear it in a top-knot. It was only after Kin'emon became a proper samurai that it started resembling his current hairstyle.[17]
