Denjiro

"Dozing" Kyoshiro is a samurai and a money changer in Wano Country's Flower Capital, working for the Kurozumi Family. He is also the boss of a yakuza group called the Kyoshiro Family.

Appearance
Kyoshiro is a large man whose hair is pulled back in a topknot that forms a massive faux-pompadour. He wears a kimono with circles and target patterns on it, as well as a dark, high-collared cape.

Personality
Kyoshiro is a cheerful man who loves to drink. While intoxicated, he was unafraid of speaking bluntly about the shogun Kurozumi Orochi despite the potential danger, and he mocked the shogun for believing a prophecy from the Kozuki Family about his downfall. In this state, he is prone to experiencing rapid mood swings, ranging from laughter to intensity to falling asleep.

Due to his self-indulgence, Kyoshiro does not appear to bother with his obligations as the boss of his family. This was seen when he ordered his subordinate to contact Queen himself for an assassin to eliminate an individual who refused to comply with their extortion. However, he still cares about his family and will do what he needs to have them defended or avenged, regardless of how low-ranking they are. Ultimately, he is quite diligent when he feels like it, as he was able to raise Komurasaki to become Wano's top-ranking oiran. He didn't even hesitate to cut her down when she defied the shogun and the rules he followed. He was also shown as an extremist whenever he fulfill his obligation.

Kyoshiro Family
It doesn't matter how low-ranking some of my underlings are...once we've exchanged sake cups with one another, they're a member of my family!

Kyoshiro is the boss of a yakuza group called the Kyoshiro Family, and appears to care greatly about his subordinates. Thus, if any of them are wronged, he will take the necessary steps to target those who wronged them. He will not interfere with his own plans to help his subordinates in this regard, but still ensures they are helped by telling them to contact the Beasts Pirates.

Kurozumi Orochi
While in Orochi's presence, Kyoshiro acts with extreme reverence, being inclined to spout phrases and ideas that the shogun will agree with, and Orochi compliments Kyoshiro when he voices these ideas. However, like most of Orochi's associates, Kyoshiro is derisive of the shogun's paranoia over the return of the Kozuki Family, and he has openly mocked Orochi after becoming intoxicated on alcohol.

Komurasaki
Kyoshiro and the Komurasaki appear to be heavily associated, with Kyoshiro being credited for raising her into Wano's top oiran. He appeared to be sleeping at her residence at one point, suggesting an intimate relationship. However, Kyoshiro did not hesitate to punish Komurasaki for defying Orochi.

Abilities and Powers
As a worker for the Kurozumi Family, Kyoshiro possesses considerable status and influence, having the resources to lounge around with geisha dancers performing for him. As the boss of the Kyoshiro Family, Kyoshiro commands strong henchmen who can extort businesses for money. Thanks to his connections within Wano's government, Kyoshiro is able to strengthen his group further by requesting assistance from his allies, particularly the Yonko-led Beasts Pirates, who appear to treat him quite respectfully, as Page One referred to him as "Boss Kyoshiro" (狂死郎親分).

Weapons
Kyoshiro carries a sword which he used to slice Komurasaki.

Past
According to some of his associates, Kyoshiro raised Komurasaki, who became Wano's top oiran. At some point, Kyoshiro was with Komurasaki at her shop when Bingo realized that he had been swindled by the courtesan.

Wano Country Arc
As he was drinking alcohol, Kyoshiro began to mock Kurozumi Orochi for living in fear of the prophecy stated by Kozuki Oden's wife Toki, which was that the Kozuki Family would avenge themselves after 20 years. They were now at the 20th year, and Kyoshiro could not believe that this would happen since the entire family had supposedly died.

After he was invited to Orochi's banquet, Kyoshiro heard from a subordinate that a soba shop owner beat up some of his henchmen. Since he would be attending the banquet, he ordered the subordinate to contact Queen to send assassins. He later went to the banquet hall at Orochi's palace.

While at the banquet, Kyoshiro was praised for raising Komurasaki, whom Orochi was courting, as well as for his response to the attack on his subordinates. Orochi commended Kyoshiro's use of excessive force and took the opportunity to talk about Toki's prophecy. Komurasaki's kamuro Toko ended up laughing at Orochi, and chaos started breaking out as an altercation between the three of them started. Kyoshiro pulled out his sword, saying a bloodbath was about to occur. Orochi attacked and overwhelmed Komurasaki, and when she ended up being freed from his grasp, Kyoshiro gave her a samurai's mercy as he cut her down. Orochi was shocked and furious at his actions, but Kyoshiro explained his reasons.
