History[]
Past[]
As early as thirty years ago, Kinga was still an immediate member of the Whitebeard Pirates. Non-canonically, he was seen cheering when the crew ran into a hostile ship, and was shocked when Oden cut it in one slice.[5]
When Momonosuke was born, Kinga cheered alongside his crewmates. He later participated in the discussion about forming divisions in the crew.[4]
Kinga later established his own crew and became an infamous pirate himself, while remaining subordinate to Whitebeard.[3]
Summit War Saga[]
Marineford Arc[]
When Portgas D. Ace was to be executed at Marineford, Kinga and his crew joined forces with the Whitebeard Pirates to save him.[1]
Non-canonically, Kinga watched as Luffy defeated a member of the Giant Squad, cheering for him.[2]
Kinga reacted with shock alongside Delacuaji and other Whitebeard Pirates members as Garp blocked Luffy's ascent to Ace.[1]
Anime and Manga Differences[]
Blond Kinga in the anime.
Kinga's initial appearance, reacting to Garp blocking Luffy, was removed in the anime.[6] However, he was added to an earlier episode, where he cheered for Luffy after he defeated a member of the Giant Squad.[2]
During one scene in Episode 964, Kinga was incorrectly drawn blond, wearing a blue kimono with a yellow sash.
During the discussion about creating divisions, the anime replaced him with Kingdew.[5]
Design Ambiguation[]

A character heavily resembling Kinga's concept art can be seen in both the manga and anime during the Summit War of Marineford.[7] Due to the heavy resemblance to the concept art, this character was initially believed to be Kinga; however, with the release of the Vivre Card databook, Kinga was revealed to be a different character, resembling his initial concept art less.
