Yosaku

Johnny and Yosaku are old friends and former bounty hunting partners of Roronoa Zoro.

Personality
When he is with Johnny, the pair often stand together side by side, with one arm across the chest and the other at their mouths. While like this their voices and behaviour become serious, however in truth they are very silly and emotional. Yosaku is the more emoitional of the pair and he can spend hours crying over stories of difficult times and struggles. He tends to get fustrated and even upset when no one pays attention to him when talking. He prefers to avoid danger like Johnny but quickly forgets his fears if distracted by something else like food or by being moved by a story linked to the fear.

Both swordsman respect and admire power, as proven by their constant praising of Zoro's power, and later the Straw Hat Pirates power. Anyone who has earned their respect will be acknowledge by them as "Aniki" (brother).

Abilities and Powers
Yosaku is a Swordsman like Johnny, however they are relatively low in strength and power. When they tried to take on the Arlong Pirates by themselves they were easily over powered.

He and Johhny are absent on traveling by sea as proven when Yosaku fell ill to simple scurvy. However he and Johnny are fairly well acknowledged on things that slip by the minds of most, such as information on the Shichibukai and the Arlong Pirates. They are, however, still incompediant and have been know to slip up, as when they reported "Hawk-Eyes" had been reported at the Baratie when it was actaully "Drunk-Eyes".

History
They first appear during the Baratie arc and stay in the story until the end of the Arlong arc, helping out the Straw Hats during both arcs.

They arrive on the scene after Usopp and Luffy unknowingly shoot at the tiny island they're on for target practice. The partners had to stop because Yosaku was suffering from scurvy, but Nami was able to diagnose and treat him.

After Arlong's defeat they thank the Straw Hat crew for their assistance but continue their life as bounty hunters.
