Vinsmoke Ichiji

"Sparking Red" Vinsmoke Ichiji is the eldest son of the Vinsmoke Family, making him both a prince of the Germa Kingdom and a commander in its military arm, Germa 66.

Appearance
Like the rest of his family, Ichiji has light colored hair and curly eyebrows. His hair is fashioned into three prominent cowlicks on the right side, and also curls upwards slightly at the back. He wears a dark suit with a light cape bearing the number "1" on its left, as well as a pair of sunglasses.

As a child, Ichiji wore a dark shirt with the number "1" on it.

Personality
Ichiji is cold and brutal to the people he has been paid to fight against, caring only about his task and not their lives. He does not like it when a battle takes a long time, and expresses his disdain for the people who oppose him. He also expects his subordinates in Germa 66 to lay down their lives for him at any point, showing no emotion at their deaths. While Ichiji seems to be excited to see his brother, Sanji, and attend his wedding, Niji stated that he was lying.

Abilities and Powers
As a prince of the Germa Kingdom, Ichiji has political authority over its subjects. He also holds a high ranking within Germa 66, giving him authority over the common soldiers as well as the ability to make them sacrifice themselves to protect him on command. A portion of Germa 66, under Ichiji and Niji's command, was able to end a two-year war in four hours, thoroughly annihilating the side they were hired to fight. As a member of the Vinsmoke Family, Ichiji has access to the advanced technology developed by his family as well as their extravagant wealth.

Ichiji possesses some degree of physical strength, as he was able to grab the arm of an enemy soldier and twist it around so the soldier was pointing his gun at himself, keeping the gun stationary as he talked, although the enemy soldier was weakened from fighting.

Past
When they were children, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji bullied Sanji for giving food to those they considered rats. Sanji attempted to punch Ichiji to get his food back, but Ichiji retaliated by beating him up.

Totto Land Arc
Ichiji and Niji led a platoon of Germa 66 soldiers to end a two-year war on Broc Coli Island. Ichiji and his men ruthlessly slaughtered several enemy soldiers, and a lone survivor attempted to shoot Ichiji. On his command, however, a Germa 66 soldier stepped in front of Ichiji and took the bullet. Ichiji then confronted the enemy soldier, getting angry that the soldier was making him late for his brother's wedding, and shot the enemy soldier with his own gun. Ichiji and his men walked away, having won the war, and he contacted Niji to confirm that they had received their payment from the winning side. Ichiji and Niji went atop a building as they contacted an unknown person, preparing to make the two day's voyage to Whole Cake Island. Ichiji expressed his anticipation for Sanji's wedding, but Niji called him a liar.

Two days later, Ichiji and Niji arrived at the Germa Kingdom. Niji was angry that Sanji was not there to greet them, but Ichiji told him to quieten down as the Germa 66 soldiers gave them a hero's welcome. As he observed from a balcony in the royal castle, Sanji was seen visibly trembling at his brothers' return.
