Minatomo-San

Minatomo-san the carpenter is another One Piece SBS joke Oda invented to explain how the door Higuma the Bear kicked off its hinge was suddenly back in place as the bandit left the bar, after Higuma smashed a bottle of Sake over Shanks. According to Oda, Minatomo is a carpenter who cannot go past a broken door without repairing it. Since the answer was given, Minatomo has made several appearances in the anime, normally seen either randomly standing next to people or repairing doors. Minatomo's appearances are similar in idea to Pandaman and Sam-San.
