Talk:Kawamatsu

Epithet
Isn't "Yokozuna Kawamatsu" (横綱河松) his main epithet? His intro box introduces him as "Yokozuna" and not as "Kappa", I think Kappa is more of a nickname than an epithet, and either way I think Yokozuna is his main one since that's how he's referred to twice in the chapter and in his intro box.

Fishman
Look at his right hand. Wouldn't that webbing make him a fishman? What else could it be? 21:49, July 7, 2019 (UTC)

Although I think the same, I also think we should wait for further information. It's a possibility that Oda have just created kappas as a new race after all. Aguacate (talk) 21:54, July 7, 2019 (UTC)

Some people claim that he can be briefly seen during Inuarashi flashback in chap 920, you can see a long light colored hair wearing a kasa behind Inuarashi's hand, similar to how Sabo's cup was foreshadowed, so he might be a mink, and if that is a possibility, Kappas might be a hybrid or an entirely different species. Also, judging by his appearance from Yasuie's flashback, he doesn't seem to have pointed teeth. Maybe we should wait a bit before we make a decision. Rhavkin (talk) 22:10, July 7, 2019 (UTC)

I think it was stated that the minks were mammal-like, and if it wasn't stated as such, all known minks are mammals so I don't think Kawamatsu is one of them. Aguacate (talk) 22:15, July 7, 2019 (UTC)

Otters are mammals and have webbed feet. SeaTerror (talk) 22:21, July 7, 2019 (UTC)

I don't think he is a mink either, just that there evidences that connect him to the minks as oppose to just have partly appeared like a fish-man. Being a hybrid or something entirely different is also a possibility. Rhavkin (talk) 22:22, July 7, 2019 (UTC)

Kappas are amphibious and I'm not sure if we've seen any amphibious fishman types. Best to leave him as just a kappa for now. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 01:36, July 8, 2019 (UTC)
