Daimyo

A daimyo is the official title of a regional lord of the Wano Country.

Overview
A daimyo is a ruler of a specific region in the Wano Country, and are responsible for the welfare of the region and everyone in it. The only region to not have its own daimyo is the Flower Capital, because that is where the shogun, the supreme ruler of Wano, resides.

Each daimyo is succeeded by someone of their own bloodline. However, if the shogun dies without siring any heirs, then one of the daimyo will be appointed as the next shogun. However, if a daimyo were to commit a heinous crime, such as murdering another daimyo, then they will be punished severely while also being stripped of their status.

There are currently no daimyo present after Kurozumi Orochi took control of Wano with the help of Kaidou and his crew. Rulership of the regions were then handed to each of Kaidou's most trusted men.

Daimyo

 * In the past, the patriarch of the Kurozumi Family was the daimyo of an unknown region. However, he attempted to take the throne of Wano by murdering the other daimyo, though this plot failed. After he was exposed, he was forced to commit seppuku while the rest of his family was stripped of their noble status.
 * After being exiled from the capital, Kozuki Oden traveled to the lawless region of Kuri and took control. After remaking it into a proper region, his father, Shogun Sukiyaki, made him Kuri's official daimyo. He retained this status even after abandoning the Wano Country to sail as a pirate, up until he was publicly executed by Kaidou
 * Shimotsuki Yasuie was the daimyo of Hakumai. However, after Kurozumi Orochi took over as shogun, he and the other daimyo led a rebellion against him, only to be defeated swiftly by Kaidou. He then fled to Ebisu Town and took up the name of "Tonoyasu" to conceal his identity.
 * Shimotsuki Ushimaru, Fugetsu Omusubi and Uzuki Tempura were the daimyo of Ringo, Kibi and Udon respectively until they were defeated by Kaidou. They were then imprisoned and later killed on Onigashima.
 * Hitaki was the daimyo of Yo until he was murdered by Lark in his plot to usurp his rule.
