Minatomo (Wano)

Minatomo-san is a carpenter and a One Piece SBS joke character whom Oda invented to explain how the door to Partys Bar suddenly reappeared moments after Higuma had kicked it off its hinges.

According to Oda, Minatomo is a carpenter who cannot go past a broken door without repairing it. Since the answer was given, Minatomo has made several appearances in the anime, normally seen either randomly standing next to people or repairing doors. Minatomo's appearances are similar in idea to Pandaman and Sam.

Appearance
Minatomo is a short, elderly man with tanned skin, dark gray hair, and a stern look on his face. He also has a scar on his left cheek. He wears working clothes in varying shades of blue and has a rope tied around his forehead.

Personality
Not much is known about his personality except that he is apparently short-tempered and cannot stand broken doors, immediately repairing them when he sees one. He appreciates talented carpenters as he praised Franky for his superior craftsmanship albeit in a rude and grumpy manner, much to the latter's annoyance.

Abilities and Powers
Minatomo is an extremely skilled and experienced carpenter, since he could replace the door at Partys Bar in seconds without being seen. He owns his own carpenter guild which Franky was temporarily a member of.

Past
According to Kin'emon, Minatomo built Kaido's residence. Ten years before the present, he sold the blueprints to a pawn shop.

After Higuma kicked off the door to Partys Bar, Minatomo saw the damage and quickly replaced it, due to his inability to pass a needed fix, before Shanks was hit over the head with a bottle.

Loguetown Arc
Later, Minatomo appeared in Loguetown to watch the Loguetown cooking contest.

Warship Island Arc
As the Straw Hat Pirates were about to leave Warship Island, Minatomo was shown next to Bokuden.

Drum Island Arc
As Usopp, Nefeltari Vivi, and Dalton arrived at Cocoa Weed to search for the only doctor on the island, Minatomo was shown fixing the door of Stool's Restaurant.

Wano Country Arc
Minatomo appeared in Wano Country, praising Franky for the wall he built. Franky later discussed with him about the blueprints of Kaido's fortress. Minatomo then revealed that he sold the blueprints to a pawn shop ten years ago. Furious, Franky lashed out at Minatomo, who then fired Franky.
