Minatomo (East Blue)

- Minatomo-san the carpenter is another One Piece SBS joke Oda invented to explain how the door Higuma kicked off its hinges was suddenly back in place as the bandit left the bar, after Higuma smashed a bottle of sake over Shanks. 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-san.

Appearance
Minatomo is a short elder man with tanned skin, dark grey hair and a stern look on his face. 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 apparently cannot stand broken doors and immediately repairs them when he sees one.
