Shimotsuki Yasuie

Tonoyasu, commonly known as Yasu (ヤス), is a taikomochi who lives in Ebisu Town near the capital of Wano Country. He is the father of Toko.

Appearance
Tonoyasu is a short man with a thick build. He has bushy dark hair gathered into a topknot as well as a stubble on his face. He wears a light kimono with stitches on the arms and legs, a polka-dotted bonnet around his head, and a dark bag that he carries on his back.

Personality
Tonoyasu is very easily excited, as he gushed over Zoro's accomplishments and showered the swordsman with compliments. He can also be self-deprecating, as he did not object when Zoro accidentally referred to him as "Kasu" (trash) instead of "Yasu".

His face and body may look ridiculous, however, he is dearly love by everyone for a long time. He is our Buddha.

Though eccentric, carefree, and fun loving, Tonoyasu is extremely kind and compassionate, using the money his daughter earned to support the citizens of the Ebisu Town, providing provisions to those who are too sick and injured even if it means starving himself. He enjoys helping people, even those as amoral as Bingo, Bongo, and Bungo.

Past
At some point, he sold his daughter Toko to the Flower Capital. Toko sent him money, which he used to support the people of Ebisu Town.

Wano Country Arc
Tonoyasu saw the swordsman Roronoa Zoro and decided to follow him, having a good feeling about him and paying for some sushi for him to eat. He believed his decision vindicated when Zoro earned a lot of money gambling and took out some members of the Kyoshiro Family when they decided to stop him.

Tonoyasu gushed over Zoro's accomplishments as they walked toward Ebisu Town, a leftovers town near the Flower Capital that Tonoyasu was from. After arriving at the town, Tonoyasu introduced Zoro to the people living there.

He later met Trafalgar Law, Usopp, and Franky after Zoro left to recover a stolen sword. After hearing that they were friends of Zoro, Tonoyasu invited them to his house and informed them that they just missed Zoro.

As Shinobu, Law, and Kanjuro argued over what to do with the captured Heart Pirates, Tonoyasu entered and showed them a copy of Kin'emon's secret message and talked about the rumors swirling around the Flower Capital, wondering if the final battle was at hand. After telling Kanjuro and Shinobu that he wished to join them, he went around Ebisu Town, helping those in need.
