Bunbuku

Bunbuku is a teapot owned by Tenguyama Hitetsu that was given life by "eating" the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Tanuki.

Appearance
Bunbuku is a fairly big teapot adorned with dots around the middle. With its Devil Fruit transformation, it has a tanuki's head where its spout should be, a striped tail replacing the handle on the opposite side, and it is supported by tanuki legs at the bottom.

Personality
Bunbuku is typically extremely quiet and sedentary. However, it does seem to care for its owner's ward Tama, as it expressed surprise upon hearing that she had gone far away.

Abilities and Powers
Being a teapot, Bunbuku is capable of storing tea and other liquids.

Devil Fruit
Bunbuku "ate" the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Tanuki, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows it to transform into a tanuki. This fruit caused Bunbuku to become a living creature.

Past
At some point, Bunbuku gained the powers of the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Tanuki through unknown means, causing it to become alive.

Wano Country Arc
When Tama brought Luffy back to Hitetsu's home, Bunbuku watched as Tama made and served Luffy all of her rice. After Tama fell ill, Bunbuku stood at her side.

After an injured Tama was returned to Amigasa Village, Bunbuku sat and watched as Hitetsu thanked Chopper and some of the minks for treating Tama.

After Tama, Kiku, Momonosuke, and Chopper left the village to go for a walk to Kuri Beach, Bunbuku listened as Hitetsu spoke to them through a Smart Tanishi.

Trivia
