Kurozumi Kanjuro

Kanjuro is Kin'emon's fellow samurai who was captured by Doflamingo's crew.

Personality
Kanjuro seems quite caring, since he suggested that they leave the island and devised a plan to do so. He is also very brave, since he sacrificed himself to let his fellow samurai escape.

Devil Fruit
Kanjuro ate a Paramecia-class Devil Fruit that allows him to turn everything he draws into a three-dimensional real object, or even a living organism. Created materials also has the same abilities with the original ones such as flying ability of a bird. This also allows him to affect his own body, as he hid inside a wall as a drawing to avoid detection. Due to his lack of knowledge about Devil Fruits, he calls his ability "sorcery".

Ironically, despite his devil fruit ability, Kanjuro is bad at drawing.

Past
Kanjuro, alongside Kin'emon, Momonosuke, and another samurai were heading to Zo, but ended up shipwrecked and drifted ashore to Dressrosa. Once there, they were chased by Dressrosa's guards. Kanjuro chose to be apprehended to cover Kin'emon, allowing him to escape and pursue Momonosuke on a ship that was headed toward Punk Hazard.

Dressrosa Arc
Kanjuro was being held prisoner at the SMILE Factory under the guise of a toy house.

By the time Kin'emon reached the royal palace to search for him, Kanjuro had disappeared from the scrapheap and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

When Kin'emon arrived at the scrapheap, it was shown that Kanjuro was hiding in the walls, and the two samurais had a happy reunion. Kanjuro and Kin'emon prepared to leave on a bird Kanjuro brought to life using his Devil Fruit ability, but the trapped citizens and Dressrosa soldiers begged to be taken along.

Trivia
In Kanjuro's first flashback appearance, he appeared to have his hair back in a pony tail. However, in the volume release of the chapter, Oda made a change to Kanjuro's shadowed appearance. In the revised chapter he seemed to have some type of helmet or hat on his head. It could also possibly be a tengai or reed hood worn by komusō.

When Kanjuro was seen for the first time, he resembled neither of these silhouettes.
