Abilities and Powers
At the start of the raid on Onigashima, Tabuhachiro carried a katana. After abandoning his Beasts Pirates' disguise, he wielded a hammer with a long shaft.

Past
In the past, Tabuhachiro was allied with the Kozuki Family. After hearing Kozuki Toki's prophecies about the downfall of Kurozumi Orochi and the opening of Wano Country's borders, Tabuhachiro and his allies waited for 20 years to the Nine Red Scabbards' return.

During the Timeskip
After 20 years, Tabuhachiro and his comrades witnessed Momonosuke's return, and they swore their loyalty to the Kozuki Family and offered themselves as allies to stand against Orochi.

Wano Country Arc
Tabuhachiro was among those arrested and thrown in Rasetsu Town for conspiring to defy Orochi. In prison, he and the others received Shimotsuki Yasuie's final message of the rebel's new gathering place. The group watched as the Straw Hat Pirates saved Toko and fought off Orochi's subordinates.

On the day of the Fire Festival, Tabuhachiro and the other rebels were freed from Rasetsu Town by Denjiro, adding 1,000 soldiers to the raid's forces. The group sailed to Tokage Port to retrieve the Scabbards and commence the raid.

After docking on Onigashima and sinking their ships, Tabuhachiro and the others disguised themselves as Waiters using Kin'emon's Kin-chan Gofukuten. Kin'emon instructed them to avoid unnecessary conflict, as the disguises will disappear if damaged, and the group cheered in anticipation of the invasion.

Tabuhachiro joined Kin'emon's Eastern forces, and the group approached a brothel. After Sanji failed to find any women, he continued to follow Kin'emon across the bridge while the Inflitration Team entered the Skull Dome through the building. The group heard someone from inside the brothel and all jumped in the water to hide, except Chopper and Usopp who were riding in the Brachio Tank V. The group eventually infiltrated the party on the Live Floor and pretended to celebrate alongside the real Beasts Pirates. After Luffyf declared an all-out war, Tabuhachiro and his allies abandoned their disguises and stood ready to fight the enemy crew.

Trivia

 * "Tabu" is likely derived from mimitabu (耳たぶ), referencing his large earlobes.
