Henna Oyag is a wanted criminal that has appeared only in wanted posters so far. He has a bounty of 
1,200,000.[1]
Appearance[]
Henna Oyag's wanted poster as seen in the 9th movie.
Henna Oyag is a scary-looking old man with a large smile, a few missing teeth, large ears, and wide eyes. He has very short blond hair and wears a beige shirt.
Personality[]
Henna Oyag is seen smiling fiendishly in his wanted poster, suggesting either a cruel or creepy nature.[1]
Abilities and Powers[]
His physical abilities are unknown, but he is presumably stronger than the average person due to his bounty.[1] Also, judging by the fact that his leaflet was not crossed out, he was able to evade capture for a long time.[2][3]
History[]
Wanted![]
Henna Oyag's wanted poster was first shown on the side of a building next to Gill Bastar's poster. His bounty was listed at 
120,000 at the time.[1]

When Fullbody was on his ship sulking about his loss to Luffy, Henna Oyag's wanted poster appeared on the wall along with many other pirates like Arlong, Krieg, Golass, Shupeal.[2]
His wanted poster appeared again in the Gold Roger Bar.
Thriller Bark Saga[]
Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura[]
Henna Oyag's wanted poster appeared again in the opening of the movie in a stack with many other wanted posters.[4]
Wano Country Saga[]
One Piece: Stampede[]
Henna Oyag's wanted poster (with his last name written "OYAJI") appeared during the movie on a wall.[3]
Translation and Dub Issues[]
His name is a part-romanization and part-pun of the term Hen'na-oyaji (変な親父?), which loosely translates to "weird old man" but is often used, especially in the Tokyo dialect, as a euphemism for middle-aged lechers.
Preserving the pun, his name was translated as "Weird Old Man" in the VIZ Media release of Wanted!.
Trivia[]
- He may be an homage to comedian Ken Shimura's Hen'na-ojisan (変なおじさん?, a variant on Hen'na-oyaji, more common to the Kansai dialect), a Benny Hill-esque character famed for his risqué humor. Eiichiro Oda is a known fan of Shimura[5], and has homaged him several times in One Piece proper.[6][7]
- Oda would later use another variant, Hen'na-ossan (変なおっさん?), as the Straw Hat Pirates'—especially Luffy's—nickname for Gan Fall.
- Although his wanted poster in the anime says HENNA OYAG, the final concept art for wanted poster features the HENNA OYAJI variant. The same spelling will be used in One Piece: Stampede, 19 years after Episode 45 and concept art for it with a similar spelling of the name were released.[3]
