Yamakaji

Vice Admiral Yamakaji (ヤマカジ中将, Yamakaji Chūjō) is a Marine officer, and one of the five vice admirals who led the Buster Call on Enies Lobby.

Appearance
Yamakiji is seen smiling almost all of the time, even during a Buster Call. He is also a smoker of cigars, just as Onigumo smokes cigarettes. His eyes are always closed and he has a thick brown beard that covers his large chin. At Enies Lobby, he was seen wearing a double-breasted orange suit with a dark red tie underneath, all over a yellow shirt with purple polka dots. From Opening 13 on, however, his suit's color was changed to dark brown, his tie was changed to black and the polka dots on his shirt to red. Like most high-ranking Marine officers, he drapes his coat over his shoulders like a cape.

Twenty years ago, he looked exactly the same, except that he did not have the beard, but only some shave hair on his chin. He wore a orange suit over a white shirt with a red tie, and already had his Marine cape and hat.

Abilities and Powers
As a vice admiral, Yamakaji is capable of commanding a Buster Call alongside four other vice admirals, and has authority over the lower-ranking soldiers of the Marines.

Weapons
Yamakaji was seen carrying a katana during the Battle of Marineford. However, he has not yet been seen using it.

Haki
It was stated that all vice admirals possess Haki, so Yamakaji can also use the ability. However, he has not yet been shown using it.

Enies Lobby Incident
Yamakaji was only seen in two panels during the attack and was not given any speaking lines. In the anime, he appeared in one additional slide show scene, however he still did not speak at all.

Fall of the Golden Lion
Yamakaji was later seen in the ending of One Piece Film: Strong World along with Onigumo and Strawberry. He sees the flying archipelago Merveille fall, and captures the remaining Golden Lion Pirates. He later sees the Straw Hat Pirates' ship fall from the sky.

Battle at Marineford
Yamakaji was next seen at Marine Headquarters during the fight against the Whitebeard Pirates, telling Vice Admiral Tsuru to stay back. He is seen later witnessing Luffy attempt to fight the three admirals. He is shocked when Vice Admiral Garp is defeated by Luffy.
