Appearance
Eboshi is an average-sized man with blond hair that covers one side of his face. He has black tentacle-like tattoos on his forehead, left chest, and left arm.

The yellow garment also has yellow tentacle-like decorations hanging from it and a black logo of a jellyfish. On his head, he wears a magenta bicorne with his crew's jolly roger.

During the battle against Uta, Eboshi received a black battle outfit.

Personality
Eboshi can be coniving and selfish, interrupting Uta's performance with the hopes of kidnapping her and holding her for randsom from the Red Hair Pirates. He is confident in his and his crew's abilities, and he showed no fear when opposing the Big Mom Pirates, a crew of one of the Four Emperors, or the Straw Hat Pirates. He was startled by Uta when she said she would turn him and his crew into a song. Despite his selfish interests, he was willing to put them aside to team up with the Straw Hat Pirates and their allies to put a stop to Uta's plans.

Abilities and Powers
As captain over the Jellyfish Pirates, Eboshi has authority over his crew. Eboshi has also significant stamina, having sustained attacks from Sanji and Tot Musica without significant injury, aside from being knocked back.

Swordsmanship
Eboshi wields a cutlass. He is able to launch a projectile when slashing his sword, but unlike most compressed air projectiles, it is pink and has a winding shape to it, similar to a jellyfish tentacle.

One Piece Film: Red
Eboshi, Kaginote, and Hanagasa watched the beginning of Uta's performance and plotted to kidnap her after her first song. They went onstage to corner her but were interrupted by Charlotte Oven and Charlotte Brûlée, who had the same plans. The Straw Hat Pirates confronted both groups to protect Uta. Eboshi slashed at Zoro but was easily deflected and struck down. Uta eventually stopped the fighting and suggested that Eboshi and his crew stop being pirates to stay with her. They laughed at her and declared they would never quit piracy, so Uta decided to turn the interrupting pirates into a song, capturing Eboshi, his crew, Oven, and Brûlée and fixing them to a musical staff.

The Straw Hat Pirates (minus Luffy) were later captured, as well. As everyone hung suspended on the staff, Koby and Blueno appeared to recruit allies in the fight against Uta. Koby and Nico Robin simultaneously realized that singing the notes where their heads were placed would free them. After Brook sang the notes to free himself and his crew, the Jellyfish Pirates agreed to a temporary truce with the Straw Hat Pirates, SWORD, CP0, and Big Mom Pirates. They were all freed and hid in the ruins of Elegia's city.

Eboshi participated in the final fight against Uta, receiving a battle outfit as a reaction to Uta singing and summoning Tot Musica.

After the fight's conclusion and the escape from Uta World, Hanagasa and his crew became fans of Uta's and danced to her music being broadcasted over a Den Den Mushi.
