Hitokui ("Cannibal") was a monster that terrorized villagers in Oda's one-shot Ikki Yako.

Appearance

A close up of Hitokui's face.

Hitokui was a wild looking person with a shaggy, light-colored short hair, pointed ears, wild eyes, and a very large mouth. He wore a short-sleeved, light-colored shirt, with dark-colored shorts, and a dark-colored vest, which he took from Guko's master Koshin after he killed him.

Personality

Hitokui has an insane personality, killing and eating Koshin and attempting to kill Guko.

After fighting with Koshin, Hitokui hates monks, because Koshin tried to kill him when he had let his guard down.

Abilities and Powers

Hitokui was stronger and more agile than an average human, as shown when he was able to avoid Guko's attacks by jumping over him, jump from tree to tree, and slam Guko into the ground like a rag doll, while only using one hand.

History

Ikki Yako

Hitokui killed Guko's master Koshin, and was killed by Guko.

Trivia

Hitokui's bounty poster as shown in Movie 9.

• He has – along with several other non-canonical characters such as Wild Joe, D.R., and Golass – made numerous cameos in the One Piece anime through a series of wanted posters that first appeared in Episode 45.
  • While his bounty is illegible in most of these cameos, the ninth movie places it at 1,500,000.
• The term "Hitokui" was eventually reused in One Piece proper, as the epithet of Bartolomeo (though this use is strictly metaphorical, referring to Bartolomeo's abrasive personality instead of any actual cannibalism).
