Kurozumi Orochi

Kurozumi Orochi is the current shogun of the Wano Country and an ally of Kaido, one of the Yonko.

Appearance
Orochi's appearance is unknown.

Personality
Orochi is an extremely cruel and oppressive tyrant as under his rule, the people of Wano suffered great famines. The officials under him also harshly enforce his regime, and he collaborated with Kaido to not only kill Kozuki Oden, but also allowed the Beast Pirates to turn Wano into a nearly complete wasteland in exchange for borrowing Kaido's power and protection, showing no care for his own country and people aside from his own self-interest. Orochi is also arrogant and discriminating against lower class citizens who are strictly confined to Okobore Town.

He appears to enjoy refined music and dancing and has strict standards for it, as Nico Robin was required to master Wano Style Dance as a geisha in order to get close to him.

Orochi has no tolerance of anyone who speaks ill of him, even if out of his earshot and in casual discussion. He has made it a capital crime for any such rebellious talks, in which the Gifters enforce.

Abilities and Powers
As shogun, Orochi has full control over Wano Country and its inhabitants. He has government officials working under him who enforce his rule, and also possesses the backing of Kaido of the Yonko. Thus, if he and his subordinates are threatened, Kaido will hear about it and deal with the threat.

Swordsmanship
As shogun of the Wano Country, Orochi is an extremely powerful swordsman. He uses a sword-style known as Orochi Nihenryu (オロチ二辺流). According to propaganda, he used it to defeat Kozuki Oden and his retainers.

Past
Orochi came into power around 20 years ago, supplanting the Kozuki Family. Sometime in the past, Orochi joined forces with Kaido and the Beasts Pirates. Orochi and Kaido went after the Kozuki Family to discover a secret about Raftel that Kozuki Oden knew, and they executed Oden and his wife. Before she died, Oden's wife cursed Orochi, which he interpreted as a prophecy that the Kozuki Family would get revenge on him in 20 years. Orochi and Kaido then pursued Oden's son Kozuki Momonosuke and his retainers, but Momonosuke and his three guards managed to escape Wano.

Trivia
