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
He's usually 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. Twenty years ago, he looked exactly the same, except that he didn't have a beard yet. In Enies Lobby, he was seen wearing a double-breasted orange suit with a dark red tie underneath with 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 wears his coat like draped on his shoulders like a cape.

Twenty years ago, he looked exactly the same, except that he didn't 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.

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's ship fall from the sky.
