Mashikaku

Mashikaku is a subordinate to Smoker and Tashigi. However, it is unknown if he remained with the two after they transferred to G-5 as he is not seen with the G-5 Marines.

Appearance


Mashikaku's facial structure resembles that of a monkey, with bushy brown hair and sideburns, tanned skin, and a square jaw. He wears the standard Marine shirt and cap. In the manga, he wears epaulettes which may serve to differentiate himself in rank as a Chief Petty Officer. In the anime, however, he lacks the epaulettes and so, in terms of uniform, looks no different from a common Marine sailor.

Personality
Despite being a Marine, Mashikaku was absolutely terrified of Luffy's bounty.

Loguetown Arc
He went into the steam room when Smoker was stacking rocks and relaxing, and told Smoker about the incident at the scaffolding. Smoker then gave Mashikaku orders on where each unit should be placed. He then followed Smoker and Tashigi around Loguetown for a while and was shown to be terrified of Luffy's 30,000,000 bounty. Later, when Smoker decided to head out into the Grand Line to chase after Luffy, he expressed concern over how the higher-ups would react if Smoker were to abandon his post.

Alabasta Arc
He was later seen in Alabasta, explaining that Nico Robin has had a bounty since she was seven. He also wanted to capture the Straw Hats after they were passed out from fighting Baroque Works, but Tashigi was against it.

Amazon Lily Arc
Mashikaku was seen behind Smoker and Tashigi arriving at Marineford upon the summons to reinforce the headquarters ahead of the execution of Portgas D. Ace.

Anime and Manga Differences
In the anime, he does not wear epaulettes. He was also replaced by a random Marine during Smoker's arrival at Marineford.

Trivia



 * His name means "Really Square", which is an accurate description of his features.
 * A support character in One Piece: Grand Adventure, Navy A, bears a striking resemblence to Mashikaku. Since he is an underling of Tashigi and Navy A is a support, it is possible that they are the same person. Mashikaku wasn't named in the United States at the time of the game's release.
