Kozuki Family
Oden cared deeply for his clan as he sacrificed himself to enable his son and retainers to escape the Beasts Pirates. Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Raizo, and Momonosuke were shown grieving over his death.

It is known that he had a wife and a son, this one being Momonosuke. His wife was also murdered by the Beasts Pirates.

Mink Tribe
Due to the loyalty of their rulers, all the minks on Zou respect Oden and the Kozuki Family enough to sacrifice their lives for one of their retainers.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi
As retainers, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi are very loyal to Oden. However, when Momonosuke saw Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, he questioned whether Oden was the reason for their bitterness toward each other. Momonosuke claimed that his father would be saddened if he saw them fighting, a remark that caused the two to reconcile their feud, showing their respect toward his father.

Roger Pirates
Oden used to be a member of the Roger Pirates for an unspecified amount of time. He was with the crew when they reached Raftel and witnessed the true history alongside them.

Beasts Pirates
Kaido sought the Kozuki Family due to Oden having been to Raftel. Not wanting Kaido to get the information, Oden sacrificed himself to allow the rest of his family to escape. The Beasts Pirates were eager to kill him in sadistic ways.

Abilities and Powers
As a member of the Kozuki Family, Oden possessed the ability to read poneglyphs and was the last member of the family with the skill. As daimyo, Oden had a large amount of power and influence over the area he ruled before his death. Nami deduced that given his position, he must have had a large amount of wealth.

History
Oden was once part of Gol D. Roger's crew and had been on Raftel with him.

Sometime before the present, he and his wife were executed by Kaido and the shogun of Wano Country and he died without passing on the knowledge of the poneglyphs to his son.
