- For the gag character of the same name from the SBS and early series filler, see Minatomo (East Blue).
Minatomo is a legendary carpenter in Wano Country and the leader of a guild that Franky joined to get access to the blueprints of Kaidou's fortress.[2] He is related to another person, whose name is also Minatomo, who is a descendant of someone who traveled from Wano to East Blue.[3]

He appreciates talented carpenters as he praised Franky for his superior craftsmanship, albeit in a rude and grumpy manner, much to the latter's annoyance.[1]
Abilities and Powers[]
Minatomo is an extremely skilled carpenter, having been the one who built Kaidou's residence on Onigashima.[4] Furthermore, he owns his own carpenter guild, of which Franky was temporarily a member, and as such, has an entire guild of carpenters that follow his orders.[1]
History[]
Past[]
According to Kin'emon, Minatomo built Kaidou's residence in Onigashima in Wano Country.[4] Ten years before the present, he sold the blueprints to a pawn shop.[2]
Wano Country Saga[]
Wano Country Arc[]
Sometime upon Franky's arrival in Wano, Minatomo hired him as a carpenter. Later, Minatomo praised Franky for the wall he built.[1]
Sometime later when Franky discussed with him about letting him see the blueprints of Kaidou's fortress, Minatomo revealed that he just remembered that he had sold the blueprints to a pawn shop ten years ago. Furious, Franky lashed out at Minatomo, who then fired Franky.[2]
Minatomo later visited a bathhouse.[5]
Minatomo celebrated during the Fire Festival.[6]
Final Saga[]
Oni Child Yamato's Golden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage[]
After the festival ended, Minatomo and a group of carpenters went to Kuri to reconstruct Oden Castle. By the time Yamato arrived at Kuri, Minatomo had gone missing.[7]
Trivia[]
- As "Minatomo" appears to be a family name, as evidenced by the other Minatomo, this suggests that Minatomo has a given name which remains unknown.
- Unlike the Minatomo of East Blue, this Minatomo's name is written in kanji, as opposed to hiragana.
