Yazaemon

Yazaemon is a ninja and a member of the Beasts Pirates. He previously was a member of the Orochi Oniwabanshu which served the shogun of Wano Country, Kurozumi Orochi.

Appearance
Yazaemon is a man of relatively average height, though he is perpetually hunched over with his hands resting on the ground. His face is completely covered by bandages, leaving only his red eyes exposed. He wears straw snow cape. He wears a blue kimono with hash patterns on it; the kimono has rather puffy sleeves.

Personality
As a member of the Oniwabanshu, Yazaemon appeared to be loyal to Kurozumi Orochi until the latter's death.

Abilities and Powers
Like the other Oniwabanshu, Yazaemon possesses tremendous stealth abilities and was able to sneak up on Nico Robin with the entirety of his group. His specialty is "Arrow" (矢).

Weapons
In the anime, Yazaemon can release what appears to be paper-like bindings from his arms.

Wano Country Arc
When the geisha Nico Robin snuck around Orochi Castle during a banquet held by Orochi, the Oniwabanshu confronted her and attempted to restrain her. However, the Robin they had confronted turned out to be a body double, and Fukurokuju ordered the Oniwabanshu to search the banquet hall for the real Robin.

Several days later, the Oniwabanshu accompanied Orochi to Onigashima to have a banquet with the Beasts Pirates during the Fire Festival. However, Kaido would kill Orochi during the banquet as part of his plot to fully take over Wano, and Fukurokuju pledged the Oniwabanshu's allegiance to the Beasts Pirates.

Anime and Manga Differences
In the manga, Yazaemon was not shown attacking Robin when the Oniwabanshu confronted her, but in the anime he appeared to attempt to bind her.

Trivia
